"Luke Huxley!"Dexie shouted his name in anger but in a low voice.Luke smiled. He stopped teasing her and turned around before entering Little Shrimp's room.In the room, Luke dealt with some work-related matters on his phone. When he came out of the room much later, Dexie had already fallen asleep on the couch. She hugged her blanket in her arms, her sleeping posture far from ideal. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes.Wait!Her current position... Her shoulder was exposed and if he lifted her pajamas a bit, he could check the scar on her back.He decided and approached cautiously. He reached out a hand and tried to move her clothes aside. However, she immediately turned around and landed on his hand.Luke had failed. He straightened his body and frowned.Dexie seemed quite restless as she slept. A few minutes later, she tossed again. This time, even more of her shoulder was exposed.This was an excellent opportunity.He reached out his hand. He just needed to pull a l
A few nights ago, the woman he had been with had an extremely slim waist. At that time, he wasn't fully conscious, and his actions were probably a bit rough...As a man, he instantly knew how her bruises appeared.Luke's face darkened. Who had hurt her? Did she have a boyfriend?At that moment, Dexie lowered her head, only to see him casually admiring her figure. He didn't seem to have any intention of backing off. Her face flushed as she exclaimed angrily, "Hey, don't look!"She quickly jumped up and pulled down her clothes to cover her waist. Then, she covered herself with a wool coat, one she had just taken off the balcony. Finally, she grumbled and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.As Luke watched her silhouette walk away, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Damn, who was she?He couldn't keep dwelling on these thoughts as they were unsettling him. He took out his phone and immediately texted Gavin to investigate people close to Dexie, as well as her recent where
When Luke said this, Dexie sighed helplessly and replied, "This won't work. Little shrimp, let me feed you. Please eat a little more food. Okay?"Little Master shook her head. Dexie acted like a pitiful kitten and said, "I'm very sad. I woke up early to make breakfast, all for Little Shrimp. But you've eaten very little. Look, my hands are so rough and wrinkled. How pitiful..."Little Master seemed to have fallen into the trap. She looked up and glanced at Dexie anxiously. Then, she nodded.Dexie was very pleased. She quickly took the bowl and spoon. "Let me feed you," she said. She set aside her own utensils and fed Little Master, spoon by spoon.Miraculously, Little Master parted her lips and swallowed every bite. She didn't reject it or vomit it.Even Luke was a little envious of this little one. However, he was very curious. Why didn't she vomit or lose her appetite for the food Dexie prepared?I would reevaluate the situation at noon. After finishing the porridge, Little Master e
His mood went from bad to worse. It darkened in the blink of an eye.Dexie thought that the heating in the house was not working properly. She sneezed twice before looking at Luke. However, he didn’t look at her. Instead, he finished his breakfast with a grim face.Dexie was perplexed. Was he angry? How unsettling.After eating half a bowl of oatmeal, Little Master couldn’t bear the rest anymore.Dexie frowned when she noticed how sharp his chin was. She said, “Little Shrimp, I worked hard to make it. Are you just going to eat that?”Little Master pouted. He looked at Dexie with a complicated expression as he shook his head sadly.“This is good enough. I’ve never eaten food made by a stranger before...” Luke interrupted from the side.If you added it all up, Little Master probably ate more food during breakfast and dinner last night than in the previous two weeks. Usually, he relied on other forms of nutrition to survive.“Really? What about his mother?” Dexie couldn’t help but ask.L
“Are you okay?” she asked as she hurriedly pulled Luke away. “Come on, the clothes here are too mature for me. I don’t like any of the outfits. I will buy nothing.”Dexie dragged Luke out of the store, and Little Master watched their interactions from the sidelines, a small smile forming on her lips.“You really don’t like it?” Luke asked.“I don’t. Let’s check out the store on the opposite side. I need to buy a bag,” Dexie quickly suggested.Luke looked up and noticed that the store in front of them was a luxury department store. He nodded and said, “Let’s go.”“Dad, I need to pee,” Little Master suddenly said as they approached the store entrance.Luke frowned, then nodded before turning to Dexie. “Go inside first. I’ll go to the restroom with Little Master. I’ll see you l
Dexie lifted her head to see the cheerful and handsome Oswin standing in front of them, with a serious smile on his charming face. As always, his eyes seemed to brim with fresh spring water.That kind of man had always been the ideal projection of a girl’s first love. However, this no longer mattered to Dexie. She snapped out of it, realizing that Oscar and Paloma had approached while she was engrossed in her conversation with Jessebelle.Paloma’s acting skills were improving drastically, and she could practically win the Best Actress award if she tried hard enough.“What a coincidence,” Dexie said indifferently.Oswin looked at Dexie and noticed the strawberry-shaped marks on her neck. His complexion slowly changed, showing a trace of hesitation and reluctance for a moment before dissipating almost instantly. As he spoke, his voice became more distant.“Elaine is such a ki
“Little Shrimp, why are you holding onto my clothes?" Dexie shifted her body as she asked, sensing that something was wrong.“Dexie, I’m hungry,” Little Shrimp replied, his hand freezing as he turned to look at Luke anxiously.Luke met his son’s gaze and silently encouraged him.Noticing the exchange between father and son, Dexie frowned in confusion but chose not to comment. Instead, she turned to Little Master and said, “First, eat something. You came at the perfect time. I just finished cooking, like yesterday.”“Missing in action...”Little Shrimp’s voice was soft, and gentle as he spoke, moving his hand. Dexie’s apartment was warm, so she hadn’t layered her clothes, revealing her crescent-shaped birthmark instantly.Although Little Master w
Dexie’s words caused Luke’s hand to freeze in the air. He looked at Dexie and asked, “Oh, have you found out?”Dexie nodded. “Of course. Mr. Huxley, I made it very clear to you. However, you still met people from the Hansley family.”Her criticism did not offend Luke. He raised his head and looked her in the eyes before weakly asking, “Did the Hansley family make things difficult for you?”As he said this, he continued eating.Luke had overheard their entire conversation with Lily that afternoon.“Not really,” Dexie said, lowering her head. Her voice didn’t sound thrilled. It had a nasal tone and seemed to contain a hint of dejection.“After all, they have something to ask of me,” she said.She wanted to vent her frustration to Luke, but she refrained because Little Master was there. They had already agreed. It seemed quite inappropriate to get angry with hi
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
