Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

The next morning, she brought Logan along with her to pay their electric bill before going to enrol him in school.

"Mommy, can't you let me have my freedom for a few more days?" Logan whined from the back seat of the car.

In his opinion, he should have more time to get used to life here before starting school. He heard that school here was very demanding, so it's only right that he spent more time getting used to it.

"I would, but I can't bring you to work with me every day."

She was just a secretary. She would be fired if she brought her child to work every day. What's more, she didn't want her son to have more contact with Henry, lest he realizes Logan's true identity.

"I can stay at home and work on my ninja moves."

He held up his arms in the posture of a ninja move. Luz laughed. "Are you a turtle?"

"..."

"Mommy, ninjas and ninja turtles are different things, okay?" Logan protested, pouting. Ninjas were formidable, unlike turtles. Why was it so hard to communicate with his mother?

"Alright, stay still. This is a good school, I went there when I was your age."

Luz pinched his cheeks and said wistfully. No matter how much suffering she endured later in her life, she was still thankful that she had a chance to have a happy childhood with loving parents and a home full of warm memories.

"It's just primary school. Why are you so proud?"

"..."

Luz drove faster at her son's teasing words. She should not let him have so much freedom anymore, or she would be the one to suffer.

The car stopped in front of a small gate. She spoke briefly to the guard stationed there, and they let them in. "You can't drive in, though."
