Dexie took a step back and swallowed a gulp of saliva. She smiled bitterly as she said, "I... Honestly, I have no intention of accepting this job. Honestly, I was just...""You were just planning to temporarily substitute for your friend, right?" Luke's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Dexie coldly.Dexie nodded. "Yes, I know nothing about child psychology or autism...""I don't like it when people reject my offers," Luke announced coldly."But why me? Mr. Huxley, you are probably someone who doesn't lack money. You wouldn't have trouble hiring someone specializing in childcare. I'm not doing this because I can't differentiate between right and wrong, or because I'm unwilling. It's just... I'm afraid I won't do well."Dexie, feeling helpless, explained her position to Luke. She didn't dare say too much either. After all, rumors said Luke was a ruthless and heartless person. She was just the adopted daughter of the insignificant Hansley family. She couldn't afford to offend

Luke noticed the change in Number One's expression and was puzzled when he asked with a slight frown on his face, "What do you mean?""Boss, if Miss Hansley were to feed Little Master his medication, everything would probably be fine, right?" Number One ventured to vocalize his thoughts."How is the investigation into last night's events going?" Luke Huxley changed the subject."It was the person from the old residence who drugged you," Number One replied while avoiding the crux of the question."What about that woman last night? Have you found out anything about her?" Luke Huxley asked coldly.Certainly, that girl was one of a kind for having the guts to break into his room."We can't find out anything. Boss, please give us some time. That was really an accident. We don't have many leads or clues," Number One responded.Last night, nothing was out of the ordinary in the mansion. The only strange thing was that an innumerable bodyguard suddenly resigned. He had already sent men to lo

As he looked through the screen just before, he simply assumed that LittleShrimp had accepted her. That the two could play together in silence was already shocking enough for him. He hadn't paid attention to the other details."Little Shrimp, put on your coat. Dad will take you somewhere!" Luke stood up and pulled Little Shrimp's hand to get him up."Mm?" Little Shrimp raised his head in confusion. Luke said nothing more. He bent down and lifted Little Shrimp. As they walked out, he covered him with a coat.At the door, the secretary and number one stepped forward to attend to them. "Boss, do you want to go home?""I'll take Little Shrimp somewhere. Anna Gray, please visit the Hansley family. I need your help with something." Luke Huxley continued walking towards the elevator as he gave orders.Paloma had been busy sorting out her affairs all afternoon, causing her complexion to considerably pale. As she prepared to enter the Hansley residence, her phone suddenly rang."Hello, Dr. Qu

“I’m not coming back," Dexie stated firmly.She did not know what Paloma was trying to achieve with her sudden plea. Her expression darkened as she immediately rejected her sister’s request.“Dexie, Mom and Dad miss you a lot. I know you blame me for everything. Come back home. If you return, I will leave. Mom and Dad really miss you,” Paloma’s tone was filled with desperation, a stark contrast to her previous arrogance.Dexie frowned at Paloma’s sudden change in demeanor. “What act are you putting on right now? I don’t have time to deal with you. Please, leave.”The steak she had just prepared was getting cold, and Dexie had no intention of engaging with Paloma.“Once you leave, don’t come back. Paloma, Mom and Dad trust you, but I know what kind of person you really are. In the future, I will not hesitate to confront you every time you come. I won’t be polite.”Paloma was secretly pleased that Dexie had reacted exactly as she had expected. She didn’t need to mock her sister further;

Once Paloma left, Dexie let out a sigh of relief. She composed herself, but when he turned around, Luke had already walked straight into her apartment. He looked at her shoe rack and noticed that it was filled with women's shoes."Does that mean a man doesn't stay here?"A corner of his lips slid into an inexplicable smile, though that smile disappeared almost instantly. Then, nonchalantly, he picked up a pair of women's slippers with one hand and put them on. Just as Dexie turned around, she witnessed this amusing scene."Um, Mr. Huxley, why are you here?" Dexie quickly closed the door and followed him.He made himself at home and led the boy straight to the living room. Then, he casually sat on her sofa. She was truly speechless. He possessed a tall stature and an air of nobility. When he sat in her small and compact living room, it made the space seem extremely cramped. It was a complete mismatch.He ignored Dexie and looked around. Since Little Master had already woken up, he plac

Mr. and Mrs. Hansley exchanged glances, disappointment clear on Lily's face. "Elaine, you don't have to cover for her. Our poor daughter, your face is so swollen!" A fleeting smile crossed Paloma's face as she tried to comfort her parents. Eventually, Lily decided. "We can't let this happen. I will visit her personally tomorrow.""Mother, let dad go instead. If she does it to you too, how can we let that happen?" Paloma carefully chose her words, considering her current relationship with Dexie and her temperament. She knew her visit would only exacerbate the situation."Yes, I will go," Dario quickly intervened. He gazed at Paloma with affection and said, "My daughter, you have suffered."Paloma nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Mom, dad. I will go wash my face now. I'm fine. You should sleep early tonight."After a moment of contemplation, Paloma decided not to mention Luke's visit to her parents. She feared they would favor Dexie more if they knew.As soon as Lily turned arou

She had initially declared that she would never return to the Hansley family. However, Paloma's visit had convinced her that giving up on the Hansley family so easily was not an option.Despite her parents having favorites, they had raised her for many years and treated her well. She was determined not to let Paloma disrupt the Hansley family as she pleased."Do you agree with this, Mr. Huxley?" she inquired instead of directly answering his question."It's a deal," Luke nodded.This girl had a kind heart and was not willing to abandon the Hansley family easily."I have another request," Dexie stated.Luke furrowed his brow and slowly raised his head. "Madam, you shouldn't ask for more when you've already been given enough.""I don't want anyone to know that I'm taking care of Little Shrimp. Also... I need the help of my friend; her name is Jessebelle Claire. She was the one who applied for the job, and I was just helping her buy time. I don't need you to pay her salary; I'll just giv

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
