Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

"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.
