Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

"Mother, you are thinking too far. If you really want a great-granddaughter, that would depend on someone."

Maddison raised her eyebrows and looked at Luz. She hated this woman more now than she had seven years ago. The old lady liked and was always partial to her. More importantly, she brought back an alleged great-grandson of the Maynard Family.

Seeing that Maddison kept directing sarcastic remarks at Luz, the old lady tightened her expression and told her, "If you don't want to have dinner with us, don't. Stop with the comments already!"

Maddison was embarrassed to be scolded like this in front of the youngsters. Her face was red with anger. "Mother, I was just concerned about the two of them."

"Don't worry about them. They know what to do."

After a cold snort, the old lady's angered expression was immediately replaced by a loving smile. She patted Luz's hand and said, "Luz, you and Henry should think about it. It's not like we can't afford another child."

"..."

"If you're worried about favouritism, don't worry, I will definitely not allow it. If anyone says otherwise, I will give Logan all of the Maynard family's inheritance."

This was said half in jest, but Maddison's expression changed immediately. She was the wife of the late Mr Maynard, but yet she would never get any inheritance from the Maynard family. How could a b*stard child get it? He wasn't even Henry's biological child!

At the thought of how all her hard work in this life had been in vain, she almost dropped her cutlery in anger.

"Grandma, don't say that. I'm hungry." Luz changed the subject hastily and stuffed the roasted chicken in her plate into her mouth.

Anyone can have a second child except her and Henry.

"Eat more if you're hungry. Only when you're full can you have more strength."

After saying that, the old lady winked at Henry. Luz happened to see her, and her face turned red. Was grandma really insinuating something or did she just have a dirty mind?

Henry smirked. "Grandma, I don't have any problem with it."
