Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

She had taken a deliberate look around the parking lot before she came up just now, and Declan's car wasn't parked there, but it turns out he was waiting for her.

"I see. Thank you, Linda."

No matter who she was, Linda's attitude toward her had not changed.

"You're welcome."

Linda turned around and walked out of the office with a smile.

She should have gone downstairs to meet Declan right now, but when she glanced at the office next to her, she felt a little reluctant.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the blinds in the other office were pulled down, blocking her view.

Luz breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the chair. She went downstairs quickly, but unbeknownst to her, the man in the office beside hers was stood in front of the windows, glaring down coldly. The anger in his eyes clearly showed his displeasure.

Downstairs, Declan wasn't driving. He hadn't slept a wink the entire night last night. His eyes were red, and he was dishevelled. 

"Declan, you're looking for me?"

Luz found it hard to meet his eyes when she stood in front of him. Not only because of her rejection a few days ago, but also because of her past history with Henry.

"Why, why didn't you tell me that the person you married before was Henry?"

Declan's tone was full of hurt and anxiety. He grabbed her shoulders and interrogated her frantically. Even though he already had his guesses before, he was still hopeful that it might just be an illusion. Luz did not know Henry Maynard. He wasn't the kind to have a business marriage either.

However, yesterday's press conference completely dashed his hopes. Luz had married Henry eight years ago!
