Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 66

"Why did you take care of me?"

Luz was stunned by his question. He had gotten injured saving her, so of course, she would take care of him. She couldn't meet his eyes that were not cold any more.

"Would you still take care of me if I wasn't injured saving you?"

"I..."

She suddenly felt tongue-tied. She didn't know what to say at all. She did not dare to even think of this question, because she didn't want to face the answer.

But Henry seemed adamant on forcing an answer out of her. He placed his hand on hers. "Luz, you still love me, don't you?"

Her motions paused for a second and she stiffened. At that moment, she wanted to throw down the towel and leave this place that made her heart rate speed up abnormally.

Her ex-husband, whom she divorced seven years ago, was asking her if she still loved him. Was this arrogance on Henry's part, or was she such a failure that she couldn't forget someone who doesn't love her?

"I'm done. I'm going to get some water."

She wanted to put up a calm facade and tell him that he was thinking too much, just like she had done before, and that she was taking care of him because she was a good person, but it felt like too much of a lie even to her.

After these few days of living with him in close quarters, she had to admit that she could not forget Henry Maynard. Everything she had been telling herself, from forgetting him to starting a new life, was just a lie. It was like his name was carved into her heart.

"Luz."

Henry grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving. His voice was low, but there was a hint of passion, which was very different from his normal tone. "These seven years felt like a millennium."

Seven years ago, he signed his name on the divorce agreement and wished he could forget Luz Boone the very next day. However, during these seven years, he could not forget her face, no matter how many women he surrounded himself with. The tears on her face were branded into his heart.

"..."

Luz tightened her fingers around the basin. What was he trying to say? He had been enjoying himself in the last seven years.

He had the companionship of the hottest celebrity. How could the last seven years be long for him?

"Let's start over."

Henry had always felt that it would take a lot of effort to say the three words, but after he finished, he felt that it was not as difficult as he had imagined.

However, as if she had heard something unbelievable, Luz froze on the spot, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Did he just say that he wanted to start over?

Henry looked up at her, trying not to let his eyes look as anxious as he felt, but on the inside, he was panicking, just like a child sitting for his first exam.

"Henry... Are you feeling unwell?" Otherwise, why would he say such words?

Hearing such an answer, he frowned and then pulled her hand to his chest. "Why do you think I said that because I'm not feeling well?"

Henry had never let down his pride for a woman. He finally had the courage to do it, but this woman asked if he was feeling well.

His pulse beat regularly against her palm. Luz blushed uncontrollably. She had just recalled all the pain and hurt he had inflicted on her seven years ago. She should reject him mercilessly now, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
