A Love Trap

Heinz repeated the words to his wife because he saw the surprised expression on her face.

"Really? I didn't mishear him, right?" Roxie still looked as though it hadn't sunk in yet that her son was going out on a date.

Then she turned to look at Heinz and pinched him as hard as she could. She then innocently blinked her eyes up at him and glared at him. "Does it hurt?"

Heinz was still in the military and trained regularly. So he had a strong physique, and he was also hardened against pain, so no matter how hard Roxie pinched him, it had no effect on him. He didn't feel the pain at all.

However, when he noticed that Roxie was glaring at him expectantly, he immediately pretended to be in pain. "Ouch! That really hurts. You didn't mishear Greyson. He has indeed gone out on a date with someone."

Though he was pinched by Roxie, that didn't hurt him at all. What did hurt him was the fact that Roxie wanted to inflict pain on him as a sort of confirmation way because of their son, Greyson. Sometimes Heinz wished that Greyson had never been born, and at least that way, his life with Roxie wouldn't have been disrupted by him.

When Roxie heard Heinz's words and saw that she had hurt Heinz, she felt pleased and then let go of his arms and ignored him.

"Well, I have to prepare a gift for my future daughter-in-law now."

Greyson wasn't aware that his casual words gave Roxie so much hope and such a wonderful surprise.

Ashley and Greyson had agreed to meet each other at the coffee shop

which happened to be close to where the girls lived.

She preferred this coffee shop as opposed to the one where Peggy arranged for her to go on the blind date yesterday.

Even though this one wasn't as luxurious as the one Peggy chose, it was, however, quaint and elegant. And the coffee and food were reasonably priced.

They were planning to meet at the coffee shop at 10 o'clock in the morning. And since Ashley and Ellie lived nearby, they arrived earlier than Greyson.

When Greyson arrived there, he could see Ashley and Ellie through the shop window, sitting at a table and chatting.
