Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 38

"Grandma."

"My dear grandson, I knew you had cared about Luz."

The moment the phone was connected, the old lady's excited voice came out. Henry raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his grandmother to know so soon.

"Where's Luz? Is she with you?"

He made a sound of agreement and handed his phone to Luz.

"Hello, grandma."

She pursed her lips and took the phone. Even though she was flustered, she knew that Henry's grandmother was calling because she must have got the news already. She wouldn't get off so easily now.

Sure enough, the old lady's voice became excited. "Luz, you don't know how long I've been looking forward to this day. You and Henry are a match made in heaven. I was sure you'd get past all your misunderstandings. Also, I have a great-grandson now! Can I meet him?"

"I..."

Hearing the old lady mention the little fellow, Luz felt a little awkward. Her son had no idea about her relationship with Henry.

"Luz, my greatest wish is to see my great-grandson before I die. I thought I'd never get to realise this wish, but now I have a chance! Please grant me my dying wish."

The old lady was trying to elicit her pity, and it worked. Luz had no choice but to agree with her pleads. "Of course, grandma. How about this, Logan is still in school right now. I'll bring him over to the Maynard residence after he is done with school."

In the past, when she was in the Maynard Family, Henry's grandmother really cared about her, so she really couldn't refuse such a friendly old lady.

"Great, I'll get the cooks to prepare dinner now. The boy's appetite should be similar to you or Henry, I should plan this well so that my beloved great-grandchild can enjoy it."

Luz hung up the phone feeling a little overwhelmed. Henry Maynard was enough of an annoyance already, but now with his grandmother in the mix, this matter would not end well for her.

"I have superior genes."

Luz blanched. Her mind suddenly cleared as she realized that the press conference was not held because he had found out Logan's real identity and wanted to get back to her. From what he had just said, it wasn't that. To him, the child wasn't his.

The car was stuffy, but she felt that the air was cold. She looked out of the window and smiled in a self-deprecating way.

"Oh, Luz Boone," she thought to herself, "You're no longer the naive girl you were when you first met Henry Maynard. Why would you even think that?"

All she was now was the butt of the joke.

Henry narrowed his eyes when she ignored him and turned her head away. North City was full of women who would give anything to bear his child, but funnily enough, the only child he had in his short marriage was not even his.

The car lurched forwards and drove out of the parking lot. The inertia made Luz hit her head on the window. The pain made her dizzy.

......

"Dear class, that's all for today. When you go back, you must finish your homework. Go on home."

Once the teacher finished speaking, the entire class of students cheered. The end of the school day was always the happiest time of their day.
