Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 40

Seeing this, Luz grabbed Logan's arm and said, "Logan, this is your great-grandma."

The boy might be angry and stubborn, but he should know his manners.

"It doesn't matter. As long as he is my great-grandson, it doesn't matter what he calls me."

The old lady's eyes lit up the moment she saw the little fellow. He looked exactly as Henry did when he was a child.

"They look so alike! It's almost as if they're the same person."

The old lady studied Logan. She had a wide smile on her face. She had always heard how powerful genetics could be, but she had never believed it since her two grandsons did not resemble her son at all. But right now, with Logan in front of her, she believed.

"..."

Henry frowned. There must be something wrong with his grandma's eyes. How could Declan's son look exactly like him?

Logan was also grumbling silently to himself. He could see some resemblance, but they aren't exactly the same.

"Mother, don't just stand at the door. Let them in, or the outsider will complain."

Maddison snorted, with obvious sarcasm in her tone. Henry and Luz had divorced a long time ago. Although she didn't know why he held the press conference today, as long as they did not remarry, Luz Boone was still an outsider.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

The old lady immediately turned her head and glared at Maddison with a hint of warning in her eyes. Maddison relented under her glare, but it did not stop her from thinking maliciously, "One day I'll be the one giving orders, old lady."

"Come on in, Luz and my great-grandson. I've prepared a lot of delicious food, they're waiting for you."

The old lady took Logan's hand and led them in. Normally, Logan would not let anyone touch him, but this time he let her hold his hand.

The old lady beamed when she felt the small hand in hers. It reminded her of the good old days when she was young.

"Sorry, grandma, there was something holding us up when we went to pick up Logan."

Luz didn't like to be late, especially since Mrs Maynard was someone she respected, so she explained herself. However, this explanation caused Henry's face to darken.

His son called the police to arrest him, and his woman said that it was an accident. 

"It doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to come, I'm happy."

After washing her hands and sitting at the table, Luz looked at the little fellow beside her. Even though this was a forced meeting, they were still eating with elders, so she had to make sure that Logan behaved himself.

"What would you like to eat first? I'll get it for you." The old lady did not take her usual seat. Instead, she sat beside Logan.

"Great-Grandma, I'm not picky about food. Mommy says that picky eaters won't grow tall."

Logan smiled. The smile melted not only the old lady's heart but also Luz's. Evidently. this boy knew how to use his good looks to his benefit already.

"That's great. Look how well Luz has taught the boy. It's good that he's not a picky eater, unlike his uncle."

The old lady praised Logan, but Maddison was unhappy.

It was one thing to praise this little guy, but why did she have to bring her son into this?
