Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 187
“Boss, are you saying that?” Gavin looked at Luke. A trace of cold and murderous intent passed through his eyes. His intention was as clear as day.Luke did not give him a response. He looked at the documents and contemplated what his next steps would be.He placed a hand on the table and drummed his fingers in an arrhythmic manner. The sound of his drumming broke the silence of the quiet room, causing Gavin to break out in a cold sweat...This was his boss’s standard behavior when he was angry.Who could ignore Luke’s terrible cruelty? He had almost forgotten this. After his boss met Miss Hansley, he seemed to have completely changed.“Let’s see how Dexie wants to deal with her later and if she should be kept alive.” After a pause, Luke finally spoke. Gavin silently breathed a sigh of relief.“Then we pretend to know nothing. No one may deal with the William family issue. Not a word should be leaked,” Luke said.That girl was someone who valued her relationship and was a strong-minded

Dexie was perplexed. Her eyes darkened instantly as she looked at Eric in confusion. “Weren’t you the ones who said you didn’t want to see me?”“Hmm?” Eric remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized this, and his expression darkened. He asked Dexie coldly, “Did that horrible Paloma tell you this?”Dexie nodded.“What did she say?” Eric’s face darkened. However, he couldn’t help but inquire further.Dexie hesitated for a moment. However, she remembered Paloma’s style of doing things, as well as her character. It was likely that Paloma had lied. Since there wasn’t much to hide, she sighed and replied, “She said the William family only wanted money. Once you received the money, you expressed no desire to interact with me, and it appeared unnecessary for us to meet.“Indeed, she is an ungrateful, shameless woman.” Eric coughed coldly. His voice was icy as he said, “She told us you cared little, especially because you didn’t grow up in our family. She mentioned you
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 189
At the end of the call, Oswin was perplexed. He seemed to be at a loss for words. Dexie also didn’t feel very good about this and felt an incomparable sense of anger welling up inside her. But before she could speak, she heard Oswin say, “Dexie, the date of our wedding has already been set and it will be held soon. Currently, she is missing and both the Hansley family and the Blake family will become jokes within the City. Can’t you...?”The appreciation and affection Dexie once had for Oswin had completely vanished. Her voice turned chilly as she said, “Do you know what she did?”Oswin stammered, unable to give a response. Dexie scoffed, her voice icy, “Oswin, since high school, I always thought you were going to be my future husband. I don’t exactly know how I felt about you, but I had never imagined having another man besides you. And you? And your family? What did you all do?”Oswin was speechless.Dexie’s voice was icy as she said, “Since Paloma returned to the Hansley family, y
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 190
When Luke noticed the uncomfortable expression on her face, he couldn’t help but ask with a furrowed brow, “What happened? Are you feeling unwell?” Her face didn’t look very good, and she was even clutching her stomach.“I’m fine.”“Did you start your period?” Luke froze. It was their wedding night, and he was wondering if they could. He didn’t expect her period to start. When Dexie heard him ask this, her face immediately turned even redder.“I’m fine. Please, hurry and leave.” Luke nodded.“Paloma is locked in the basement. You can deal with her as you please but show no mercy.” Dexie was completely perplexed. When she realized Luke would not question her about her period, she sighed in relief.At that moment, Eric had told her something similar. Besides her blood relatives, only Luke understood and cared for her. Luke gently closed the door. However, he secretly went to a nearby high-end convenience store to buy sanitary pads for her. Once, she accidentally overheard her maids tal
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 191
Danny was paralyzed for a moment. This was the first time he had seen Luke act so severely towards him. However, he was not afraid. Despite having autism since he was young, he was a little genius. His small face, white as snow, tensed up and seemed extremely serious when he said, “Dad, I said I wanted to marry Dexie.”“Why are you suddenly saying this?” Luke was quite confused. He looked at Danny in bewilderment.After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his chubby pinky and pointed to his cheek. “She kissed me.”“So?” Luke narrowed his eyes. A dangerous look shot out of his eyes, and he suddenly seemed on the edge.Did his son want to touch his wife? Did his son want to fight for his wife? That was his wife! Not even his biological son would be spared! He was going on the offensive!“Didn’t Dad say that a man and a woman shouldn’t touch each other randomly? I want to take responsibility!” Danny said.“This is not how this concept works. Danny, Dexie just treats you like a child
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 192
As he said this, the man who had been tied to the pillar struggled with all his might. His eyes were filled with fear.As a former bodyguard who used to work for the Huxley family, he was naturally aware of the miserable end he would meet if Luke took matters into his own hands. But that stupid Paloma had argued with this girl instead of begging for mercy!“What? Didn’t you ask me to bless you and Oswin’s son? Are you suddenly regretting it?” Dexie mocked, “Paloma, Paloma. No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, today you will not be a match for me. Luke has my back. Even though I am just a therapist taking care of his son, I will still be able to kill you a hundred times.”“Dexie, you can’t treat me this way.”This time, Paloma was truly terrified. Although her heart was filled with sorrow, she was not willing to admit her mistakes to Dexie. She gritted her teeth and looked at Dexie. The fear and recognition that Luke’s name provoked were enough to drown everything out. The sh

“Paloma," Dexie gritted her teeth.“You’re a crazy lunatic!”Dexie struggled to find words to express her anger towards Paloma, whom she found absolutely disgusting. The most painful realization was that such an evil man had abused her.“Am I a lunatic? No, I’m not crazy. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered for so many years. Now that you know who that man is, it’s your turn to eat those rotten vegetables and feel ashamed of this man and his incredible mother.”Paloma laughed maniacally, tears streaming down her face. “Oswin always thought you were a perfect person. He was worried that I didn’t spend my first night with him. How wonderful it is that you're now in the same situation as me. Perhaps you're in a more dire situation than me."“Dexie, what are you waiting for? I need to go back and make preparations for my engagement to Oswin.”“Paloma, you can forget it!” Dexie clenched her fist, looking at Paloma with indignation and pain. She gritted her teeth and said, “I wo

As the usher left, Dexie looked at Luke with concern and asked, “Luke, won’t this affect you?”Dexie was aware of her own identity. Nothing terrible would happen to her.When Luke noticed how uncomfortable she was, he didn’t feel repulsed or dissatisfied. A hint of joy passed through his eyes. However, his expression remained blank as he pretended indifference.“It’s fine.”She was already his wife—his legal wife. They even had a marriage certificate, so how could it affect him?“Dad, I’m sleepy.” Danny murmured softly beside them. He didn’t like being in crowded places. Now that the place was full of people, he felt tired.“Are you tired?” Dexie quickly asked with concern.Danny nodded before looking at Dexie with pity.“I’ll have someone prepare an upstairs room. I’ll take him for a nap, please wait for me,” Luke told Dexie after a moment of hesitation.Dexie replied, “Why don’t I go instead?”Luke stood up and shook his head. “It’s too heavy. You’re not strong enough.”“Oh.” Dexie

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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 322
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,
