Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Chapter 64 I Don't Want You To Die

"Henry, I don't want you to die."

There was a kind of delicate pleading in her anxious words. Henry was shocked. He looked at her

frowning in her sleep, and there was a hint of deep tenderness in his eyes.

"Stupid woman. How can I die? I won't give you a chance to find another man so easily."

He placed his hand on her waist tenderly. The simple movement pulled at the wound on his back, but

he did not hesitate at all, even though he frowned with the pain. The respectful distance between them

disappeared.

She hadn't had a good rest for several days. She slept until late evening the next day.

Instinctively, she looked over to the other side of the bed, but there was no sign of Henry. Luz sat up

immediately in a panic. Where did he go?

She ran out of the house anxiously and saw Henry in the yard with an old phone. He was talking

animatedly into the phone. She caught him saying grandmother, which reminded her that she had NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

forgotten to call home. Logan and Grandma must have been worried sick.

Hearing the footsteps, Henry hung up the phone. He turned his head and looked at the woman with

messy hair. He couldn't help frowning. "Even if I'm not interested in you, you should pay attention to

your image."

"..."

She ran a hand through her hair awkwardly in an attempt to freshen up. She had panicked when she

didn't see him in the room just now, so she just ran out without caring about her appearance.

"Are you... are you calling grandma?"

"What did you think I was doing? Do you want them to worry?" Henry looked at her disdainfully. The

feeling of inferiority made Luz explain herself instinctively,

"Of course not. I just..."

She was just so worried about his injuries that she forgot to call her family to tell them that they were

safe. But she was too embarrassed to say that.

Henry returned the phone to the woman, who was busy feeding pigs in the yard. Then he turned to her

and continued, "I'm hungry."

"Oh... I'll cook some porridge for you.

"

Under his gaze, Luz's heart beat faster. She immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Henry, who didn't like to be waited on, suddenly began to enjoy the feeling of being served, although

the person who served him could sometimes be a little stupid.

After a few days of porridge, he recovered well enough to have normal food. The kind villager they

were staying with were very welcoming and would cook their meals every day.

"It's so good to be young. I feel very happy looking at you two."

"Madam, we..." Luz tried to explain that they were divorced, but then she figured that it didn't matter, so

she just let her go on.

"By the way, Miss, do you have children?"

In this rural village, it was a custom to chat and eat at the same time. The woman pushed a plate of

food towards Luz and asked.

"I have a son."

At the mention of Logan, a warm smile appeared on Luz's face.

"You don't look like it! You're in such good shape I can't believe you have a kid. How old is your son?"

"Seven years old."

She answered truthfully. The woman was surprised. Her next words were like a machine gun. "Seven?

It's time to have another, then. You should not wait too long. If the age gap between siblings gets too

large, they won't get along."

"I don't intend to have a second child."

Luz looked embarrassed. Not only grandma was urging them to have another child, but now even this

lady was also trying to encourage them. Was it a trend to have many children now? She didn't want to

experience the pain she had gone through when giving birth to Logan again.

"Why not? One child is not enough. Listen to me, look, I have three children. Their age gaps are less

than two years, so it's easy to bring them up together. They grow up fast, like piglets!"

"..."

Luz didn't know what to say to that. How could she compare an adorable child with pigs?

"We're preparing for that."

There was no trace of embarrassment on Henry's face. The woman smiled brightly at his words.

"That's great! You don't really need any preparations, just eat more pistachios!"

Luz's mind went blank for a moment. What did pistachios have to do with this? Then she thought of

something and went red.

Mia had told her before that pistachios were a kind of aphrodisiac.

The rest of the meal was very awkward, especially when Henry's eyes fell on her.

She always felt that her whole body was burning as if she was being roasted.

"It's getting late. You two should go to bed."

The woman didn't forget to wink at them as she spoke. Luz had to pretend that she didn't see anything

and hurried into the room.

Henry followed her in. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Luz felt extremely uncomfortable and she

blushed unconsciously.

"I'm not very sleepy yet. Why don't you go to bed first? I'll take a walk in the yard. The air is pretty fresh

here."

She made up an excuse and was ready to go out. It would be best if he could fall asleep early so that

she could come back to rest. However, when she reached the door, he grabbed her arm.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Her obvious resistance made anger well up in Henry. He couldn't help but wonder if the reason why

she was so adamant about not having another child was because of him. Did she not want to have a

child with him?

"What do you think I should do, my wife?"

As soon as he said those slightly cold words, he dragged her to the bed.

"Henry, stop it. I'm not your wife. Be careful of your wound."

She was reprimanding him, but her movements were gentle. She was worried that he would agitate his

wound again, so she let him drag her onto the bed.

Henry leaned over her heavily without giving her a chance to prepare herself. His handsome face

loomed over her suddenly, and her heart sped up when she felt his warm breath on her face.

"Henry, we're not married, so you..."

"Not married, so we can't have a baby? Luz, you didn't give me a baby when we were married."

He really wanted to tell her, "Luz, let's start over again. Give us another chance, give the past seven

years another chance, and give me a chance to let go of this pain."

However, when he heard that she said that they were not married, he inexplicably became angry. She

was unwilling to have anything to do with him! In that case, why did she agree to stay in the Maynard

family?

Because of Declan Carver!

There was a sour pain in his heart. He wanted to tear these two words apart.

Underneath him, Luz's face was pale, as if she had recalled some bad memories. The pain she had

experienced seven years ago seemed to have resurfaced again. It was just as painful as ever.

He still didn't believe her.

Her eyes were sore, but she refused to let the tears well up. "Henry Maynard, let me go. If you want a

child, there are a lot of women who would be willing to carry one for you."
