2024-10-29 19:42:56After exchanging a glance with Luke Huxley, Dexie reluctantly got into the car. With Warry already in the front seat, Dexie had no choice but to sit in the back with Luke Huxley.
As soon as the car door closed, the driver placed an insulation panel between the front and rear seats for privacy.
Dexie rolled her eyes at the unnecessary gesture, arguing that they didn't need privacy because they wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Luke Huxley noticed her reaction, and as he looked at her profile, his lips twitched involuntarily. Why are you staring at the insulation panel? Are you thinking about something indecent?
Luke Huxley stifled laughter as he spoke. When Dexie heard his voice, she snapped out of her reverie.
She turned to look at Luke Huxley and saw him chuckling. She was surprised, since she had never seen him smile before. He always had a sullen look and never joked around. She had assumed he had a difficult time smiling.
She felt that he had c

Luke Huxley smiled and interrupted her. "How could I act out the indecent scene alone?""Do you agree with me that getting involved will deepen your understanding?"Luke Huxley deliberately emphasized her participation; his look was seductive and playful.Although Dexie was a virgin, she had read a couple of novels and knew what she was referring to. She was quoting the words she had used with him a while ago.She heard a click, and Luke Huxley's belt unbuckled. The waistband of her pants dropped a little, exposing her black boxers. Startled, Dexie lost her composure. Panic set in.She tried to walk away but realized she was trapped, with no space to move. She knitted her eyebrows, looking more anxious."Luke Huxley Dawson, don't come any closer!" she exclaimed."You were the one who wanted a deep understanding, but now you're asking me not to come closer to you. What exactly do you want me to do?"Luke Huxley narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin with his fingers, bringing her closer

Dexie was trying to organize her thoughts and calm down when Luke Huxley apologized to her. This surprised her.It had never occurred to her that a haughty man like him would notice that he had offended her and would even apologize to her.She had calculated that after he had taken advantage of her, he would tell her that she should consider herself lucky that he would be intimate with her.However, he then looked at her with compassion.Even if he hadn't done that, she had never expected him to apologize to her!"I am glad that Mr. Dawson has realized that his actions were offensive. I hope this doesn't happen again."She looked down and pretended to straighten her clothes, but she was trying to hide the discomfort within her. She then paused for a moment when a thought crossed her mind."Professor Qwentin hasn't been feeling well, so I'll take over his work from now on," she stated.After regaining her composure, she lifted her

Warry clasped his hands together and smiled warmly at the onlookers. He continued, "But please be aware that the seat next to Mr. Dawson is reserved for Mrs. Dawson. No one else should sit there."One person responded, "Of course, why would we take Mrs. Dawson's seat?"Sitting next to Mr. Dawson, their boss, would be uncomfortable for anyone. Despite rarely seeing Mr. Dawson, his demeanor clarified that he was difficult to get along with. Naturally, they preferred to keep their distance from him.Warry's expression was unreadable as he gestured with his hand. "You may not understand. Mrs. Dawson and Mr. Dawson disagreed recently. It's unlikely she will willingly sit next to him. When that happens."He glanced around at the group and spoke in a hushed tone, "You all know what to do, right?"The employees were momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded in understanding. "Mr. Williams, we know how to handle the situation."After everyone en

The chef's exceptional culinary skills and the appetizing presentation of the food captured Dexie's attention. Despite her hearty appetite, she maintained proper etiquette at the table. The rotating tray arranged a variety of dishes, and Dexie avoided standing up or obstructing others as she reached for her favorite dishes. However, whenever her desired dishes were out of reach on the turntable, she felt a pang of disappointment. As she quietly ate, a plate filled with her favorite dishes suddenly appeared before her.The generous portion was neatly arranged with all her favorites, and Dexie looked at the man beside her. Luke Huxley, noticing her curious gaze, spoke up." Professor Dexie, I noticed that some of your favorite dishes were out of reach, so I gathered them on a plate for you. Consider it a token of appreciation for guiding our researchers. Your help saved us time and enabled us to successfully develop a new drug," he explained.Luke Huxl

Through the rearview mirror, Warry watched Luke Huxley climb onto the car. He gritted his teeth and sighed, wondering about Mr. Dawson's intentions towards him, as he felt like nothing more than Mr. Dawson's lackey. Mr. Dawson, a wealthy man, seemed to take out his frustrations on Warry, his poor and helpless assistant, because of his inability to win back his wife's love. After the successful development of a new drug by Life Beneficial Technologies, it was time for clinical trials, during which Dexie's participation was not required. Meanwhile, Dexie had Roy monitor her research institution, making her feel more at ease. After class, Dexie received a call from Rodel, who expressed a desire to meet and discuss something important. Although Rodel's tone seemed normal, Dexie sensed that there was more to his request. Realizing her birthday was approaching, she suspected Rodel might be eager to gain her share. Dexie agreed to meet Rodel at a cafe behind Johnston University in half a
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 116
Dexie's stoic demeanor infuriated Rodel. He knew that trying to evoke emotions from Dexie would be futile and could result in mockery. Therefore, he stopped attempting to appear affectionate, and his true nature shone through, making him seem more like a scoundrel. Dexie found it difficult to interact with Rodel. She understood the purpose of the meeting but was in no rush. She took a teaspoon and stirred her coffee slowly.Rodel wasted no time in speaking. "I heard you're now a professor at Johnston University, teaching second-year medical students?" he asked.Dexie picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip. "Yes," she replied.It was no surprise that Rodel knew. He probably learned about it from Roxane on Dexie's first day at Johnston University. But not from Dexie. She understood why Rodel felt the need to bring it up.Shortly after, Rodel sneered coldly. He could barely conceal the disdain he felt for Dexie; it was evident in the way he

“Mr. Domino, why does he have Alzheimer's when he is not old yet?" Dexie raised her hand and pointed to her head, continuing, "Stop daydreaming. It's terrible for the brain. How will your useless family members behave if you're old and only daydreaming? The family that depended on you?"Dexie laughed lightly as she spoke and then turned around, walking away from him. "Dexie! Dexie!!" Rodel Domino shouted, but Dexie did not turn back to look at him.Rodel sat back down in his seat, feeling angry as the other people in the cafe started giving him strange looks. He had never imagined that Dexie would not take him seriously, especially considering the reputation of Johnston University.If the public found out that the dean of Johnston University had accepted a bribe and allowed a 20-year-old girl with only a high school diploma to teach in the Department of Medicine, it would surely attract attention in the education sector. This could have serious

Let's not dwell on the original poster's question about whether Professor Dexie Hansley is just a high school graduate. It's clear from watching the video that she doesn't teach by simply following a lesson plan."I am a medical student at Yale Medical University, and based on my personal experience, Professor Hansley's class video was very professional. Setting aside age and education qualifications, the standards of Professor Hansley's teachings are truly impressive, according to the video. Are we certain that she is just a high school graduate who knows nothing, as the original poster suggested? Following this initial comment, many students from professional medical universities echoed similar sentiments. Do you recognize the name Dexie Hansley? Have you forgotten about her famous thesis publications in 'World Medicine'?"After reading this comment, those in the medical field remembered the impactful articles that Dexie had published. The comments intrig

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th

Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would

As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
