Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 15
The one who tried to fight for a position with him was his uncle—not his bastard son, but his illegitimate son, his grandfather. How could an illegitimate son take something that belonged to him?In the end, Luke Huxley married Dexie as his grandfather wished.To Luke Huxley, it didn't matter who she married, as long as he appeased his grandfather.He had gotten what he wanted from the family last year. As for Dexie, he continued to ignore her.Now that her grandfather had passed away, he finally filed the divorce agreement, which she had been planning since she got married.However, he didn't expect Dexie to stop messing with him and agree to a divorce so decisively.What was even more unexpected was that his heart was a mess when she signed the papers.Dexie noticed that she kept a straight face and said nothing. While he was lost in thought about her, she quickly withdrew from his arms.She straightened her slightly wrinkled shirt and calmed down. I hope you can sign those papers as

Marilyn repeatedly advised Dexie to divorce Luke Huxley, whom she considered a failure and a bastard. Just mention of his name made her mutter expletives. Dexie took the vodka from Marilyn with a slight smile and brought it to her lips, causing her to cough from the burning sensation. She felt sick and nauseous, with a strange feeling in her throat, fearing she might vomit. "Dexie, how can you drink such strong vodka in one go?" Marilyn asked, concerned as Dexie's cheeks turned bright red. Marilyn rushed to pat her on the back. "How do you feel? Are you okay?" After recovering from the shock, Dexie reassured Marilyn, "It's okay. I was just thirsty and drank too fast." She looked away, hiding the pain in her eyes, then poured herself a glass of vodka before slowly responding to Marilyn's question. "Honestly, I realized a long time ago that he doesn't love me. He hates me. It's fair..." Dexie paused, with a self-deprecating expression, and added, "I'm not ready to give up, you know.

Just at this moment, Simon's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked. Taking one look at Marilyn, he stood up, walked to a corner, and picked up the call. "Luke Huxley?" "Simon, where are you?" Luke Huxley's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm at the Woodlands Clubhouse with Marilyn," Simon replied. "I'm coming over. Have a drink with me," Luke Huxley said. Simon was speechless.He turned around and looked at Marilyn, thinking to himself, "Luke Huxley will suffer once more. Marilyn won't let him off the hook easily." However, he did not convey this to Luke Huxley. "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Simon returned to his seat and sat down. Marilyn looked at him questioningly. "Who was that?" Waving the mobile phone in her hands, Simon replied, "Luke Huxley." Marilyn frowned at the mention of Luke Huxley's name. "Why did he call you?" She narrowed her eyes at Simon, a hint of warning in her voice as she continued, "Don't get too close to him. I'll teach you a

After the doctor left, Luke Huxley was still sullen. Dexie, who was drunk, didn't utter a word. Leaning silently into Luke Huxley's arms, she moved her lips as if whispering something. Luke Huxley stood up from the couch with Dexie in his arms. "I'll take her back first," he said. Simon raised an eyebrow curiously, "Didn't you come here to drink with me?" His words made Simon pause. He held Dexie's hand a little tighter. "Maybe some other day," he said, pretending to leave. "Where are you taking Dexie?" Marilyn interjected, "You don't have a valid reason to do so. You're harassing her, don't you realize?" Luke Huxley was taken aback. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself. "Marilyn, Dexie Hansley is my wife," he stated firmly, feeling entitled to take Dexie home. If someone else had said that to him, he would have made them suffer. "Wow! Now you admit she is your wife, huh?" Marilyn rolled her eyes. "I heard from Dexie that she was divorcing you. She signed the papers."

Luke Huxley's Adam's apple kept bobbing up and down as he tried to suppress the warm feeling in his abdomen."Tell me, am I smart?" Dexie was like a stubborn child, determined to receive praise.When she was drunk, Luke Huxley had never seen her in such a state. Though she wasn't hysterical, it was harder for him to resist her.He felt like she was on the verge of losing her sanity, but he had to cooperate and convince her. Pinching the space between her eyebrows."Smart, very smart."As expected, Dexie was satisfied and flashed him a beautiful smile.At that moment, Winston entered with hangover tea and paused when he saw the intimate scene between the couple. Did he walk in at the wrong time? Dexie hesitated for a moment until Luke Huxley calmly took her hand."Bring it," she cleared her throat and said."It's okay," Winston approached and noticed Dexie's drunken state. She must have been confused and drunk when she hugged Luke Huxley. Winston felt a pang of regret.“Mr. Dawson, she

Dexie thought to herself as she took a small spoonful of oats, her face expressing disdain. Before she could swallow it, she heard Winston's words. "Mrs. Dawson, I didn't change your clothes. Mr. Dawson changed them for you." Dexie choked on her oatmeal, startled by the news.Her mind raced at the thought of Luke Huxley changing her clothes, causing her coughing to become uncontrollable."I'm just changing clothes for you. Why are you so excited?" She heard a cold, sarcastic voice above her.Dexie looked up to see Luke Huxley in sportswear, sweaty from his run, looking at her with a slight smile. She blushed at his teasing remark, feeling embarrassed."You're so excited that your face is red. Is that necessary?" He continued, making Dexie purse her lips and grip her spoon tightly.She took a deep breath before resisting the urge to splash the oatmeal on her face.Marilyn was right. This is a dog—one who likes to praise himself. Suddenly, she came to her senses, and her eyes opened."Yo

“Why are you so quiet now? Are you finally realizing that your little tricks won't work on me?" Luke taunted, not realizing the depth of Dexie's emotions. Dexie's heart sank as she realized that Luke's perception of her was so shallow. She had been nothing more than a source of amusement for him during their marriage. The memory of his indifference after her accident in her previous life stung her deeply. Feeling a mix of hurt and anger, Dexie mustered the courage to speak up. "Luke, you may see me as a joke, but I am more than that. I deserve respect and love, not just your amusement." Luke's expression shifted as he registered the pain in Dexie's eyes. For the first time, he saw beyond her playful facade and realized the depth of her feelings. Guilt washed over him as he realized how he had neglected her emotional needs. As Dexie's words lingered in the air, a new understanding dawned on Luke. He had underestimated her all this time, but now he was determined to make amends and

He didn't have time to explain it to Winston."Please call a taxi for me. If Luke Huxley asks, just tell him I insisted on leaving."Now that his dear ex-girlfriend has returned from abroad, the busy president is likely to inquire about his ex-wife's status.She believed Winston cared about nothing.Faced with Dexie's determination to leave, Winston had no choice but to call a taxi for her.Since Winswood House was in a wealthy neighborhood, people here had drivers, so the area hardly had taxis.It would take a long time for the taxi to reach Winswood's house.Dexie did not want to stay in the bedroom that brought back too many memories. With Winston's help, she descended the stairs.As she passed through the courtyard, she noticed the Malus bed she had planted was still there."Why are they still here?" Dexie glanced at Winston out of the corner of her eye."I had asked a maid to throw it away, but Mr. Dawson would not allow it," responded Winston truthfully.Luke Huxley didn't allow

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...

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
