"Luz Boone, do you really like submitting yourself to another man and bearing his child?"
The words felt like a knife cutting into her. She blanched, but a sudden chill brought her back to her senses. She looked down and found that her skirt had been torn away.
"Henry, stop it! You're just like a three-year-old throwing a tantrum!"
After that, she bit her lips lightly, waiting for his anger.
"A three-year-old child?"
Henry's deep voice sounded in her ear, and his seductive tone made Luz shiver all over. The more he behaved like this, the more scared she was. It was worse than his anger.
"Can a three-year-old kid do this to you?"
The body pinning her to the bed trusted upwards suddenly. Luz felt something hot against her body and paled further. Just as she was afraid that he would really take her by force, the weight on her disappeared.
"Luz, don't provoke me."
With a hint of hostility in his cold voice, Henry snorted and turned to leave the room. "I don't use this room anymore anyway. You can stay here."
Luz's heart ached again. She used to be happy in this room. She used to think that there would be a man who would love her for the rest of her life. They would have a child together like every other married couple and live their lives as a happy family of three.
However, this room that had given her illusions had also been the same room that had shattered her life.
Reaching out to touch the pillow on the bed, she curled up and lay down, as if she could still smell the smell of seven years ago.
The pain was still there, but there was still hope. Sadness was also a lingering smell that wouldn't leave.
"Mommy, can I sleep with you?"
The door was pushed open again, and the little fellow stood at the door with a pillow in his arms. He couldn't fall asleep in a strange environment. Besides, someone should give him an explanation today. How could he have a father suddenly?
"Okay, come on up."
She immediately put on a smile and moved aside.
Logan leapt onto the bed. "Mommy, is that bad uncle really my father?"
He wasn't as nice as Uncle Declan, nor as comfortable to be with. Apart from being handsome and rich, he really did not compare up to Uncle Declan.
"..."
Luz didn't know how to answer the question, so she kept quiet.
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Anyway, I don't like him." Logan pouted. He had a bad temper. He didn't like that.
"Logan... go to sleep."
She patted him gently on the back and did not withdraw her hand until he breathed evenly.
