Chapter 41: A Long And Happy Life


    "Grandma, don''t say that. You''re very healthy, how could you..."


    Luz shut up halfway. Mrs Maynard was really good to her. She sincerely wished that she could live a


    long and happy life.


    "Luz, I know you care about me. Don''t worry, I''ll be fine, I just need some rest."


    The olddy held her hand as she spoke. Luz was stunned for a moment. Did grandma really not need


    to go to the hospital?


    "I''ve had this problem for some time already, I know it''ll pass after a good night''s rest."


    After the olddy''s repeated hints, Henry reluctantly opened his mouth. Only a stupid woman like Luz


    could be so thick to fall for this.


    "Really? That''s great."


    Luz believed it. There were many servants in the Maynard Family, so she knew that grandma would be


    taken care of properly. She just wanted to make sure that she was really fine, but before she could feel


    relieved, she heard the olddy say, "Luz, I haven''t spoken to you for so long. How about you stay over


    here tonight with little Logan? You''ll be greatpany for a lonely olddy like me."


    "..."


    All of a sudden, she felt as if she had been tricked.


    "Grandma, I..."


    "Luz, am I too old to chat with you?"


    The olddy had already had aplete strategy. Before Luz could answer, she had already sealed


    her way out.


    "No, Grandma, how could I dislike you?"


    "That''s settled then. You can stay and chat with grandma tonight." The olddy pped her thigh. From


    the sound of it, she didn''t seem like a frail olddy anymore.


    There was no choice but to stay. Luz was trying to think of an excuse to persuade Logan to stay for the


    night, but she was spared because Logan actually believed that the olddy was feeling unwell. He


    even told her solemnly, "Mommy, don''t worry, you''re a kind person. I''ll respect you for that."


    "..."


    When the Old Madam saw that her n had seeded, she beamed. She knew that Luz wasn''t really


    that easily fooled. She might not have seen through her acting in the heat of the moment, but she''d


    "Grandma, that''s low."


    Henry said as a servant brought the mother and son duo to their room upstairs.


    "Low? You''re low for having that press conference. I know you''ve never forgotten about Luz even after


    all these years, that''s why you held that press conference to get her back to you. Don''t worry, we have


    the same intentions. We can team up."


    The olddy patted her grandson''s shoulder. A grown-up person would know what boredom was. At


    her age, there were too many boring things to talk about. Naturally, she had to find something to do to


    not be bored.


    Henry was exasperated. The reason why he held the press conference was to make Den Carver


    back off of his woman, to let him know that even though Luz was divorced from him, she still had no


    right to find her own happiness as long as Henry had a say in it.

    Upstairs, Luz was taken to Henry''s bedroom. Looking at the familiar decoration and furniture in front of


    her, she couldn''t help blushing. Seven years ago, she had changed from a girl to a woman in this room.


    Logan had also been conceived in this room.


    Seven yearster, nothing had changed in Henry''s bedroom.


    She subconsciously looked at the wall at the head of the bed, and the smile on her lips disappeared.


    No, there was still something different. Their wedding photo, with her in a wedding dress and sporting a


    dumb smile, had disappeared from the wall at the head of their bed. The wall had been upholstered


    where it used to hang.


    It perfectly covered all the marks from the past.


    "What''s wrong? Are you so happy that you don''t know what to say?"


    When Henry''s cold voice sounded from behind her, Luz smoothed over the expression so that he


    wouldn''t see her loss and sadness from earlier.


    "Mr Maynard, you must be joking. I don''t even remember this ce."


    Seven years had passed. She should have forgotten it a long time ago.


    Obviously, this answer made Henry dissatisfied. He narrowed his eyes slightly as if there was a storm


    brewing inside.


    Did she just say she had forgotten everything?


    Very good!


    "What are you doing?"


    Shocked by his stormy eyes, Luz asked warily. Henry Maynard was a dangerous man. She never knew


    what he would do from one moment to another.


    His tall figure pressed down on her suddenly, pinning her onto the bed. His sculpted jaw brushed over


    her chest purposefully, making her catch her breath for fear that their unspeakable parts would make


    contact.


    "Let go of me, you lunatic."


    She struggled but was stopped by Henry almost immediately. "I thought you said you''d forgotten about


    this ce. Since you don''t remember what we''ve done before, I should help you refresh your memory."


    He had taken her many times before on this bed. He never knew how it started or how it ended, but he


    knew that he liked it. He liked her body, her smell, her warmth.


    Luz was so scared that her face turned pale. She instinctively wanted to escape, but she was pinned


    down on the bed with nowhere to go, like amb awaiting ughter. She had no way to escape from


    Henry.


    "It''s been seven years, and you still smell the same."


    He lowered his head and sniffed her neck. There was a clear desire in his eyes. The scent of a


    woman''s body would change. Different perfumes would have different smells, but when the fragrance


    was gone, the original smell of her body would be revealed. The smell was unique and would not


    change for the rest of her life.


    "You''re crazy, Henry. We''re divorced."


    She forcibly reminded Henry that they had already divorced seven years ago. Their marriage had


    ended. If he did anything to her, it would be a crime, and she had every right to sue him for it.


    "A divorce? Are you stupid? Today, everyone in North CIty knows that we are married and we have a


    seven-year-old son. Do you think I should be happy to be a father?"


    This was a thorn in his heart that she should never have touched. The lust in Henry''s eyes deepened


    with a hint of anger. He couldn''t believe that this woman thought she could go around seducing other


    men just because they were divorced.


    As long as he had anything to say about it, she would never be in the arms of another man.


    When Luz heard the words "be a father", she felt as if she had been punched hard in the gut. That


    nightmarish nights seven years ago seemed to resurface in front of her eyes. It was the same scene,


    same bed, same two people facing each other.
