Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

"Luz, did you sleep well?"

"Grandma, is your stomach still hurting?"

Luz's nervousness eased when she turned and found that it was just old Mrs Maynard beside her. She hadn't realized that the old lady was putting up an act earlier, but once she had the chance to think about it, it wasn't hard to recognize.

"Silly girl, I just wanted you and Logan to stay here. It's been so many years, whatever misunderstanding between you and Henry should have been resolved long ago. He called a press conference today to make your relationship public. That's a sign that he wants to rekindle the relationship. He's always loved you." the old lady persuaded.

She knew her grandson well. Even though Henry had had a few affairs here and there over the past seven years, but she knew that he had never liked them. He loved Luz.

"Grandma, you're overthinking this. Mr Maynard and I... we're divorced."

Luz swallowed painfully. So what if Henry told the world that they were married? They had gotten divorced seven years ago. There is no binding law between them anymore.

"Luz, what happened between you two that you would torment each other like this? I'm old, but I can see that you still harbour feelings for Henry. Listen to me, start over with him."

The old lady took her hand and kept persuading her. Since they divorced, Henry had moved out of the house, leaving the huge house empty and lonely.

Luz pursed her lips awkwardly. Grandma was good to her, so she couldn't bear to refute her. But there are some things that should be cleared up. She pulled her hand away and said, "Grandma, I can't."

A huge chasm had opened up between them seven years ago. The wounds in her heart hadn't even started healing yet. She was no longer the Luz Boone who would do anything for the man she loved. Seven years abroad had taught her how to be mature but had also made her timid. She did not have the courage to be naive anymore, and she cannot bear to be hurt again.
