“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

“Fold it,” Luke said coldly. Gavin was stunned.Luke continued coldly, “Without my permission, no one can enter the Huxley residence.”After saying this, he waved his hand mercilessly and pushed Victor’s hand away as he approached. He seemed completely unconcerned about the whole matter. “Understood,” Gavin realized he shouldn’t have allowed an older adult man and his wife to enter. He had been in such a difficult position.At that moment, the butler approached and asked, “Mr. Huxley... Will Miss Hansley sleep upstairs or downstairs?”The servants occupied the lower floor. The butler had to confirm her accommodations. “Upstairs. She will sleep in my room,” Luke replied firmly.Dexie was completely perplexed. She had already clarified that she only worked as a therapist. What was this man thinking?

Dexie was unaware of the strange looks she was receiving from everyone. She took Little Master to the dining room and gave him his medicine. Then, she gave him half a glass of water. Her previous doubts had completely dissipated. Astonishment replaced this and wonder all around. How was this possible? He had finished all the medicine without vomiting. He even had a smile on his face.Dexie returned to the kitchen. Naturally, Luke didn’t need to tell the maids to help her. The maid, who had been carrying Little Master a while ago, was the most frightened. There was even a trace of jealousy in her eyes. Luke’s stepmother noticed this. In the kitchen, Dexie started preparing some pasta. Since she only needed to prepare a portion for Little Shrimp, it was finished in no time. She mixed the tomato sauce and topped it with some parsley. The dish looked extremely delicious.“Have some pasta, okay?” Dexie smiled at Litt

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
