Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Luz smiled at him and glanced towards Henry out of the corner of her eye. He was smirking as if mocking Declan for his failed proposal and her earlier embarrassment. 

"What a pity. I thought Ms Boone would agree to the proposal."

Emily propped her chin on one hand and said with a look of pity. However, she was feeling frustrated on the inside. She was going to grab onto Henry when the lights went out just now, but he wasn't where she thought he would be.

"Any man who kneels to propose is a loser."

Henry said coldly, then got up and pulled Emily into his arms. "I'm done. Let's go."

Emily's anger was pretty much extinguished by his cold aura. Her smug smile returned. She knew she would agree to get married if Henry ever proposed to her, even if he did not kneel.

Luz quickly withdrew her gaze when she saw that they were leaving arm in arm, but Declan had seen her glance towards them.

"Declan, I'm sorry. I've embarrassed you."

After saying this apologetically, she quickly got off the stage and returned to her seat.

Logan pouted. "It was such a romantic proposal! Besides, Uncle Declan is a good man who buys ice cream for him. Why would mommy reject him?" he thought.

"Eat your ice cream."

Luz gave him a stern look. Logan covered his mouth and turned to Declan, who had also returned to his seat, and said, "Mr Carver, you can do it. Good luck!"

His mother should not let go of such a good man. Besides, he would get to eat ice cream every time he proposed.

"Logan knows me well."
