Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 41

"Grandma, don't say that. You're very healthy, how could you..."

Luz shut up halfway. Mrs Maynard was really good to her. She sincerely wished that she could live a long and happy life.

"Luz, I know you care about me. Don't worry, I'll be fine, I just need some rest." 

The old lady held her hand as she spoke. Luz was stunned for a moment. Did grandma really not need to go to the hospital?

"I've had this problem for some time already, I know it'll pass after a good night's rest."

After the old lady's repeated hints, Henry reluctantly opened his mouth. Only a stupid woman like Luz could be so thick to fall for this.

"Really? That's great."

Luz believed it. There were many servants in the Maynard Family, so she knew that grandma would be taken care of properly. She just wanted to make sure that she was really fine, but before she could feel relieved, she heard the old lady say, "Luz, I haven't spoken to you for so long. How about you stay over here tonight with little Logan? You'll be great company for a lonely old lady like me."

"..."

All of a sudden, she felt as if she had been tricked.

"Grandma, I..."

"Luz, am I too old to chat with you?"

The old lady had already had a complete strategy. Before Luz could answer, she had already sealed her way out.

"No, Grandma, how could I dislike you?"

"That's settled then. You can stay and chat with grandma tonight." The old lady slapped her thigh. From the sound of it, she didn't seem like a frail old lady anymore.

There was no choice but to stay. Luz was trying to think of an excuse to persuade Logan to stay for the night, but she was spared because Logan actually believed that the old lady was feeling unwell. He even told her solemnly, "Mommy, don't worry, you're a kind person. I'll respect you for that."

"..."

When the Old Madam saw that her plan had succeeded, she beamed. She knew that Luz wasn't really that easily fooled. She might not have seen through her acting in the heat of the moment, but she'd come back to her senses in a while. In that case, she wouldn't need to keep up the act anymore.

"Grandma, that's low."

Henry said as a servant brought the mother and son duo to their room upstairs.

"Low? You're low for having that press conference. I know you've never forgotten about Luz even after all these years, that's why you held that press conference to get her back to you. Don't worry, we have the same intentions. We can team up."

The old lady patted her grandson's shoulder. A grown-up person would know what boredom was. At her age, there were too many boring things to talk about. Naturally, she had to find something to do to not be bored.

Henry was exasperated. The reason why he held the press conference was to make Declan Carver back off of his woman, to let him know that even though Luz was divorced from him, she still had no right to find her own happiness as long as Henry had a say in it.

Upstairs, Luz was taken to Henry's bedroom. Looking at the familiar decoration and furniture in front of her, she couldn't help blushing. Seven years ago, she had changed from a girl to a woman in this room. Logan had also been conceived in this room.
