She didn't know why Luke Huxley had done that. Was it because of the dream he had?
He said that he had dreamed that she had died in a car accident, so he ran to her at midnight to find her, without worrying about his own health. Dexie still didn't believe that Luke Huxley really had feelings for her at this point in her life, so her reactions were drastically different from her past life.
Instead of not believing it, she didn't dare to believe it.
How could someone who had fought in darkness dare to look at the light of hope?
Dexie stood next to Luke Huxley's bed and stared into his face for a long time. She then raised her foot to leave, but the moment she turned around, a potent force grabbed her hand.
“Don't go, honey. Please don't leave. We've been together for two years. Why are you really going to leave me, dear?" Dexie pleaded, looking at Luke Huxley's tightly gripped hand. She raised her head and met Luke Huxley's pa
Marilyn didn't mince her words. Initially, she refrained from taking Narda away because she had traveled a long way to visit Luke Huxley. However, now she was adamant about not leaving Narda to act insincerely in front of Luke Huxley.Narda's expression hardened at Marilyn's response. She then defended herself weakly, "Marilyn, that's not what I meant. I'm simply concerned about Luke Huxley."What if we don't hurry? Miss Hansley leaves, and something happens to Luke Huxley.""What could happen to him? Do you think the nurses here are neglecting their duties?" Marilyn scoffed, questioning Narda's motives. "I think you just want to stir up trouble," she added.Narda's eyes welled up at Marilyn's remarks. "Marilyn, have I ever offended you? Why do you have to think of me like that?" She then looked pleadingly at Luke Huxley, hoping he would come to her defense. However, he appeared lost in his own world, savoring the unappetizing toast as if it w
Narda's cousin, Jean Tisdon, lived closer, and Luke Huxley was her favorite brother, so naturally, he visited the Tisdon family often.At this time, their servants attended to Luke Huxley and Marilyn. Luke Huxley's mother was not in good health and was resting in another mansion, while his father was entirely focused on the company, rarely paying attention to the daily lives of his children.In contrast, old Mrs. Tisdon was very kind to him. Every time he visited the Tisdon family, old Mrs. Tisdon cooked his favorite food and took care of him as if he were her grandson.Narda, a year younger than him, often stayed next to old Mrs. Tisdon, and they naturally grew up together.Old Mrs. Tisdon would joke that she would get Narda married to him when they grew up.Luke Huxley cared little about relationships at the time; he just keptlistening, so he subconsciously thought he would marry Narda early on.
Roxane continued, "He was talking.""It's true that I was the one who recorded you in class. I wanted to send it to dad so he could see that you were teaching at Johnston University, but I didn't know it would end up causing so much trouble. Dexie, I'm so sorry. I really didn't want to hurt you on purpose. Please forgive me."Roxane's words made her seem very innocent, as if the whole incident had nothing to do with her. She shifted all the responsibility to Rodel.To protect herself and still appear fair, Roxane blamed her own father and made him look worse than he already did.Dexie looked into Roxane's slightly red eyes, laughed, and addressed Roxane in front of the entire class, "Would you sell out your own father just like that? Aren't you afraid that he would disown you if he knew the whole truth?"Dexie was hinting at a smile on her face, leaving everyone puzzled about her intentions. Her words made Roxane's heart skip a beat.Dexie's
Roxane pointed furiously at Dexie's calm, smiling face; her vision blurred as her body trembled as if she were about to fall.The next second, Roxane felt Dexie give her a tremendous tug, bringing Roxane right in front of her.Roxane watched Dexie lean close to her ear and speak with a voice that only the two of them could hear."Regardless of what you want from me, I will tell you three words. It will never happen."Dexie abandoned her nihilistic attitude immediately after speaking, leaving only a sense of coldness in her wake.Roxane had not spent a year at Johnston University cultivating her image as a weak and delicate girl at all. Despite facing a beating the day before, Roxane's current state would lead any guy to believe Dexie was being unduly harsh with her.As the saying goes, simping too hard simply won't do, as it will make you lose everything.However, before they lost everything, they would remain simple-minded.Ev
Dexie looked down, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly came to a realization. Her precious, brief life was probably the only thing that could make someone as vain as Roxane give up her dignity and beg Dexie.Dexie's eyes twitched. She immediately understood why Roxane had humiliated her the day before, but she still chose to come to school and apologize so humbly.It was all thanks to Dr. Khlynt. Once she realized this, Dexie paid no more attention to Roxane.The Domino family could never be the center of attention, so they couldn't manipulate Dexie or gain anything from her.Dexie's birthday was still half a month away. Rodel Domino's obsession with obtaining Dexie would be even more intense after his humiliation the previous day.Something will surely happen in the next two weeks. All Dexie had to do was wait.As Dexie silently made calculations on her way back to the Teaching and Research Building, she encount
Dexie's smile wavered slightly, showing a hint of impatience."First, I am not an employee of Life Beneficial Technologies, so I cannot access their laboratories whenever I want. Even if I worked there, I wouldn't teach you. This has nothing to do with whether I like you. Can you understand if I explain it this way?"Narda remained silent for a moment, then sighed. Narda looked at Dexie, saying nothing for a moment, then sighed."Do you really dislike me because of Luke Huxley?" she asked.Dexie met Narda's gaze, feeling a sense of frustration. She had realized that Narda's interactions with her were not genuine; they were merely attempts to flaunt Luke Huxley and provoke jealousy.Narda's intention was to see Dexie upset and envious, but Dexie did not provide her with satisfaction. This realization left Narda feeling panicked, prompting her to abandon the pretense.Narda's actions stemmed from her belief that Luke Hu
As she spoke, Dexie remained calm the entire time, and her coldness easily shattered Narda's arrogance. In fact, behind Narda's haughty attitude was a pathetic emptiness. Soon, Narda could no longer contain her anger, and her face twisted in frustration. She shook violently."How dare you compare Luke Huxley to a toilet?""Wow! Not bad. Her language skills have already improved in such a short time."“I'm an excellent teacher, right? So, you also understand that you represent the worm in the metaphor, correct? You and Luke Huxley are. "You don't have to worry about anything, because no one can steal it from you."After finishing the last sentence, Dexie let out a big smile and walked away. Narda stared at her in disbelief."Dexie Hansley!"Through gritted teeth, Narda muttered softly.Narda's plan called for her to confront Dexie and celebrate her victory. She anticipated Dexie to be inconsolable and retreat from the scene in te
One month later....“What is this, Attorney Aragon?” Dexie Hansley inquired of her ex-husband’s lawyer, her eyes devoid of emotion.He suddenly appeared at Casa Cazzy after two years.“I thought the two of us had already agreed to stay out of each other’s business, and that everything was over. It’s been two years since I received the annulment papers.”“I know, Ms. Hansley. But my client needs you,” said the old man, his voice trembling with stress. It seemed like he was desperate to have a decent conversation with her."“Need me?” She sarcastically chuckled and smirked.“Luke Lee’s family needs your help. Your ex-husband, Sir Luke, had an accident and only remembers you. They want you to help him remember everything.”The lawyer’s words shook her to the core. The thought of seeing the man who had crushed her spirit once again was chilling enough, let alone having to be with him and help him.Luke Lee is the man she despises the most. He had promised her a lifetime of love, but inste
This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta
The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w
He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her
In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.
“Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”
“Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about... Quenti
As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi
Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an
Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
