Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Chapter 69 Drinking For Him

Henry put his hands in his pockets with a determined look.

"Henry, it might be better to just let this go. There's no need to get involved in this." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He had nothing to hide from his best friend. The incident at Gold KTV was purely an accident.

Sometimes, it was better to avoid more troubles when it came to the mafia. Since Luz had come back

safe and sound, there was no need to continue investigating this matter.

"I can't just let it go. If it's not convenient for you to show up, I'll talk to them directly."

Henry frowned. If it weren't for their good luck, they would have died.

"There's nothing inconvenient for me. I'm just worried that if you continue to investigate them, they'll do

something desperate. Henry, this group is not an ordinary syndicate." A group that can lead the police

on a wild goose chase for so many years couldn't be easy to deal with.

"Then let them be desperate."

Without any room for negotiation, Henry said word by word from his thin, sharp lips. Lucas spread out

his hands and said, "Okay, I will contact them."

"Now, let's talk about the progress of your relationship. Did you..."

Lucas not only winked at him but also gave him an ambiguous smile. When a man and a woman were

alone in a rural forest, there were only so many things that could happen.

Henry's face darkened slightly. He wanted something to happen.

"Really? Looks like you're destined to be wrapped around her finger." It was a waste of such a good

opportunity.

Henry glared at him coldly. Lucas covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Let me see if the food is

ready. I came to pick you up early in the morning. I'm starving."

He ran for her life and went downstairs. The food had been served on the table.

"Lucas, you came down just in time. I was just about to call you. Where's Henry?" The old lady couldn't

hide the happiness on her face. She was happy as long as her family came back safely.

"He'll come down soon. Grandma, I'm going to eat more today. I'm absolutely starving."

"Okay, okay, okay, eat more."

After Lucas finished his act in front of the old lady, Henry came down from upstairs and saw the table

full of food. The old lady couldn't help but feel a little emotional. "It's been a long time since our family

was so lively."

Ever since Henry's father passed away, the house had become cold.

"Grandma, if you want to be lively, I'll ask Lucas to come over for a few more meals in the future.

"

Henry held her hand, which was already showing signs of aging. In the past seven years, he had little

time to accompany her.

"No problem, grandma. I've always liked to come to your place to eat for free since I was a child."

Lucas immediately cooperated with him and amused the old lady easily.

"You're such a sweet talker. I don't know which girl will be deceived by your glib tongue in the future."

The old lady's eyes fell on Mia's face as she spoke. "I think this girl is good."

"..."

Mia instantly felt embarrassed. She would be willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of amusing the old

lady, but not in this situation. She wasn't blind enough to get together with a scumbag.

"Grandma, let's eat."

Luz quickly changed the topic for her best friend. The old lady picked up a glass filled with juice and

said, "I'm really happy today. Let's have a toast."

The glass in front of Henry had been filled with red wine. Luz felt anxious. He was still injured and

should not drink. But before she could move, Henry placed his hand on her thigh under the table.

He got closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Don't make grandma worry."

"But you..."

Before she could finish her protest, Henry had already raised the glass in his hand. She had no choice

but to follow him, hoping that just one glass of wine would not affect his recovery.

The crisp sound of the glasses colliding together was like music. Unknowingly, she felt a warmth in her

heart.

"I saw you two whispering sweetly into each other's ears just now! That's just unkind to a single person

like me. Henry, you're drinking three more glasses of wine as punishment."

Lucas suddenly stood up and poured wine into Henry's empty glass. He did not forget to praise himself

in his heart. He was definitely the best wingman in the world. It would be a piece of cake for Henry to

get his woman after a few glasses of wine.

"I'll drink for him."

Luz stood up, picked up the red wine in front of him, and drank it directly. Henry was still injured. One

glass of wine was already his limit.

Not only Lucas, everyone present was shocked by her sudden move. The old lady was stunned for a

few seconds, and her eyes immediately narrowed into two crescent moons. Luz was so protective of

Henry. It seemed that the two of them had been heading in a good direction in the past half a month.

Lucas was stunned for a moment.

She was already helping him with the alcohol. That was good. If he couldn't strengthen his friend's

courage with wine, then making the woman drunk would also be a good idea.

When she saw that her glass had been refilled again, Luz felt like kicking Lucas out. But she had

already said what she said, so she had to drink the wine.

One glass, two glasses, three glasses.

After three glasses of red wine went into her stomach, she couldn't help but burp. When she was about

to sit down, the wine glass that she hadn't put down was filled with wine again. "That was Henry's

punishment. Now, this is my toast to you."

Lucas chuckled. He had a hundred more reasons to get her drunk.

"..."

She knew that he was doing this on purpose, but she couldn't refuse him. Just as she was about to

drink the wine, the glass was snatched away by Henry.

"You helped me drink the wine just now. Let me help you now." After that, he raised his head and drank

up the wine.

"You two are really interesting. Let's have another glass."

Lucas narrowed his eyes. He had created an excellent opportunity today. If nothing else happened, he

was going to look down on Henry from now on.

After Henry drank two glasses of wine, the old lady stopped Lucas's endeavours. "Don't just drink wine.

Let's eat."

"Young people just don't know how to cherish their health. Drinking is very harmful to the liver."

Maddison interrupted them. In her heart, she was wishing that Henry would die on the spot. She and

Bryce were part of the Maynard family too. The old lady was too biased towards Henry.

Luz was already dizzy. She was good at drinking, but she had drunk too fast just now. The alcohol was

making her lose control of her brain. She barely managed to hold on until the meal was over, feeling

nauseous.

"Grandma, I'm a little dizzy. I'll take Logan upstairs first."

"You need anything for the hangover?"

Seeing that her cheeks were turning red, the old lady couldn't help but ask with worry.

"No need. I'll be fine after a good sleep."

Back in the room upstairs, the red wine and food in her stomach seemed to have started a fight. She

rushed into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.
