Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Chapter 35: I've Always Treated You As A Friend

As she spoke, he demonstrated the steps. When she cooked, she normally just cut the ingredients and threw them into the pan, but the way he cooked enhanced the smell of the tomatoes.

"Add cold water so that the tomatoes break apart slowly while it boils."

Declan's eyes had a soft glow to it when he said this. He was willing to wait for Luz just as he was willing to wait for the sauce to cook.

She had thought a lot about how to start their talk, but it was only when she actually said it out loud that she realized how hurtful it sounded.

Declan stiffened for a few seconds, then he relaxed. "That's great."

There was no turning back now. Luz had to continue on, no matter how hurtful it might be.

"You know what I mean. I was about to give up on everything at first in the US, that's why I accepted your help to the point that I feel quite dependent on you. But Declan, you have to know, dependency is not love."
