“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
Did you want to talk to her in person? It seemed like those actions were enough to cause pain and distress to Dario.Dexie responded indifferently, "If Dad doesn't agree, reconsider too.""It's not that I don't agree. It's... Dexie, let's talk once we meet, okay?" Lily's voice sounded quite bitter and agonizing."Fine. So...""Come tonight." Lily continued, "Dexie, we should complete this matter as soon as possible.""Okay. Let me pack some things before coming down." Dexie hung up the call. She spoke to Luke and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to move tonight. I need to make a trip to the Hansley residence.""I'll send you there. Once you're done talking, we can go together. You don't have to bring clothes. I'll have someone prepare some new and trendy outfits from the latest season," Luke said."Mr. Huxley, why do you want me to move to your villa so urgently?" Dexie asked in confusion."Without you around, Little Master won't eat or sleep. He'll be in such a pitiful state. Be
Luke saw Dexie enter Hansley’ villa. After that, he took out his phone and made a call.“Gavin, how’s it going?” Luke’s voice turned icy. There was no trace of warmth compared to how he had spoken to Dexie earlier.“Boss, there is no doubt about Miss Hansley’ identity. There is not much to report. However, she has a marriage arrangement with Mr. Blake.” Gavin paused for a moment before continuing, "However, he and his sister Paloma have already...”After hearing this, Luke’s lips curled into a wintry smile.“Understood. However, if any of the Hansley family members intimidate her, or if that guy from the Blake family intimidates her, don’t let them off easily.”“Understood.”After ending the call, Luke fell into deep contemplation. Once he saw Dexie’s birthmark, he instantly recognized her. Although she was already engaged, Oswin was certainly not her match.He couldn’t let her find out what happened that night. Therefore, he wanted her to move to Riverside Avenue and become Little Sh
"Father, just accept her demands. After all, the Hansley family will belong to both of us in the future. Sooner or later, we will receive the shares, so it will be the same either way." Paloma suddenly stepped forward to speak to Dario. She sounded deadly serious.Dexie was a little surprised as she watched from the side.Paloma had suddenly become so generous. No matter how she looked at things, something seemed strange. What was she thinking?"Elie." Dario frowned as he addressed Paloma by her name. His voice sounded puzzled."Dad, it was me who offended Dexie. I was wrong. Let these shares be our compensation for her. Without Dexie, our family would still be in ruins even if I married Oswin." Paloma tried to reach a compromise.Dexie was even more puzzled. What was going on with Paloma?"Then it's okay." Dario seemed to have understood Paloma's intentions. He nodded in agreement.Paloma nodded. She looked meekly at Dexie, as if Dexie were a villain who was wicked beyond redemption.
Luke’s expression darkened. He looked at Gavin and asked, “Who is here?”“It’s the old man and his wife. Both came,” Gavin explained hastily.Luke coldly said, “Since they are the visitors, they should be the ones to leave.”After saying this, he didn’t even wait for Gavin to react. He turned around and started the car before zooming off.Luke entered the garage and parked the car. He got ready to get out, but soon realized that Dexie refused to move from her seat.He walked to the other side of the car. When he noticed that Dexie still refused to come out, he frowned and asked puzzled, “Hmm? Why aren’t you coming out?”Dexie shook her head and smiled bitterly as she said, “If it’s not convenient, why don’t I move another day?”Luke shook his head. He replied with a ser
“My mother is dead. These slippers were not bought for her either,” Luke said. He completely ignored the two guests and looked at Dexie as he said, “Go ahead.”Dexie’s curiosity was instantly piqued, and her heart raced. Were those slippers specially reserved for her? If she wasn’t mistaken, these people were probably Luke’s father and stepmother.His stepmother was very young, with a radiant face. She was probably at least 20 years younger than his father! According to rumors, Luke’s stepmother had left her ex-husband to marry into this wealthy family. Unscrupulously, she married a man 20 years older than her. However, judging by Luke’s attitude towards her, she probably had little status in this family and was likely in a rather miserable state. But has she resigned from her current position?“Do you always casually bring home random and insignificant people?&rdqu
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
