“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
“No..." When Luke Huxley was about to say "no need," he suddenly changed his mind and said in a deep voice, "It's up to you." After that, he hung up the phone. His face darkened even more. "Dexie Hansley, how dare you act however you want?" Luke Huxley spoke angrily."Why did you bring that ungrateful woman home last night? Why did she call Winswood Home to ask him about her injury?" Watching her distance herself from him, Luke Huxley realized he didn't even care about whether he cared about her. After a while, he still felt angry. He was angrier than when his grandfather forced him to marry Dexie. At this moment, Luke Huxley did not realize that he, a man who had always remained composed, would lose his temper easily whenever it came to things related to Dexie in recent days. After some time, Luke Huxley pinched his forehead irritably. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, trying to push thoughts of Dexie out of his mind. Just then, his cell phone rang, alerting hi
“He hung up on me," Mrs. Tidson choked, then said reassuringly, "It's a weekday, and he's very busy. He could be in a meeting right now."She looked at her daughter and continued to console her, "Well, let's ask the driver to pick us up first. After work, you can meet him. This time, you can't be as capricious as you were three years ago. Apologize to him."Knowing about the "surrogate" and the "divorce," Narda felt more secure, so she believed her mother's comforting words."I won't apologize to him. I haven't spoken to him in three years. Now that I've initiated the conversation, he has ignored me.Mrs. Tidson noticed her daughter's smile and felt a sense of relief because she knew her words had touched her.If Mrs. Tidson had not known beforehand that Dexie resembled her daughter, and if Solomon hadn't told them that once Luke Huxley found out that Narda had returned, he immediately asked Dexie for a divorce, Mrs. Tidson would not be sure of her future son-in-law.Fortunately, they
Upon hearing this, Dexie sneered, and the ridicule in her eyes was unmistakable. She was determined to become an illegitimate daughter with our family's money. My father is becoming more and more successful. Roy shuddered at the coldness in her tone.In the next moment, Dexie added, "There's no way Rodel would work only at the Hansley Corporation. You should investigate again. Let's see if he has other properties. Find out everything you can and report back to me.""Okay. I'll go to the lab soon. While I'm gone, keep an eye out.""No problem. I've got it covered."When Luke Huxley returned to Winswood Home, it was still early. Hansley had noticed that he had been coming home early in the past few days, which surprised him.She had been working here for over a year, and it was rare to see Mr. Dawson return home so early. However, since Mrs. Dawson moved away, he had come home early several times.Was it true what Mrs. Dawson had mentioned about him hating her so much that she rarely ca
Meanwhile, Sam repeatedly mentioned Luke Huxley in the group chat. Seeing this, Narda suddenly burst into laughter. "Did something beneficial happen? Why are you so happy?" Mrs. Tisdon, who had just entered the living room, noticed her daughter's joyful expression and jokingly attributed it to Luke Huxley's response. Narda handed her the phone and explained, "We caught Luke Huxley's wife having an affair with another man." To notify everyone, Sam shared it in the group chat.Narda couldn't help but feel sorry for Dexie, imagining Luke Huxley's reaction upon seeing the photos. Before, no one had dared humiliate him like this. Even if Luke Huxley didn't have feelings for Dexie, he wouldn't tolerate his ex-wife being with another man. "That's great." Mrs. Tisdon smirked."If Luke Huxley sees these photos, he won't consider remarrying her in the future," she said. Narda, who had been feeling down all day, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope upon seeing Dexie's photos. She scrolled throug
Is there nothing else we can talk about besides the divorce? It had never occurred to her that he would waste his time talking nonsense with Dexie. He had always been too busy for that. "What else is there? It took you a year to find a topic to talk about other than divorce!" He asked with a grimace, her words dripping with sarcasm. She made him choke on her words. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a sound. After all, he had never said more than a word to her this entire year.The fact that he had been forced to marry her always made him lose control and vent his anger on her. He thought that after her grandfather passed away, he could get rid of Dexie. But now, he realizes that letting her go wasn't that simple. His heart would break if she moved away. Faced with Dexie's question, Luke Huxley couldn't say a word. He had always waited for Luke Huxley to talk to him, hoping he would say one more word. It could have made his day. But he no longer had the same expectat
“So... I've tried hard to get out of it, and I don't want to be hurt. Roy, it's too painful for me..." Tears welled up in his eyes. Since he was reborn, he had never seriously considered his relationship with Luke Huxley. But Roy directly addressed the issue that he had been avoiding for many days. When he was at Dominos that day, Luke Huxley asked him if his heart was cold. She replied, "I used to have a warm heart, but he's gone." She used to be very devoted to him. However, he kept distancing himself from her, and gradually, she became drained. Roy didn't expect Dexie to suddenly cry, and he was taken aback. He approached her and tried to comfort her, but he didn't know how to do it. He placed his hand on her shoulder and gently patted her back. "Just forget about him, you deserve better." "Yes. I'll try to forget about it..." Since their phone call that day, Luke Huxley hadn't visited Dexie again. However, Dexie kept calling her lawyer to inquire about when she would sig
