2024-10-29 19:42:56After breakfast, they heard a knock on the door. Gavin stood up and said, “Sir, I brought the things.”
With that, he looked inside and saw Dexie sitting on the sofa next to the bed. It seemed like they had reconciled. He felt a little relieved. He wanted nothing more than for everything to go well between his boss and Miss Hansley. After closing the door, Luke placed the marriage certificate in front of Dexie.
“Look.”
Dexie still couldn’t believe it. She took it from Luke and saw that it contained two red books. “Is this a marriage certificate?” Dexie still couldn’t believe it and asked Luke incredulously.
Seeing Dexie’s surprised expression, Luke said, “Open it and look.” Dexie left the box on the table, took the marriage certificate, and examined it carefully. After looking at it, she was astonished.
“It’s a marriage c

She had a fever last night. Later, Luke arrived and took her away immediately, but the other party did not take photos of Luke or them arguing. They only took a picture of Noah hugging her, so it was intentional.Since the other party only sent a carefully selected angle photo of Noah and her, the target was probably her or Noah.In that case, who could be the mastermind? What was the purpose of the other party? Regardless of the other party’s purpose, it would not be good for her or Noah in any way!More importantly, someone anonymously posted these photos. It would be easier to remove it if it were a media outlet, but it was a personal post. Here, if they wanted to remove it, they had to find the blogger.If the other party had malicious intentions, they probably couldn’t find that person so quickly.

"Yes, sir." Gavin lowered his head and didn't dare to ask more.Luke nodded and said, "I'll go back alone. You should stay and investigate the mole in the hotel."Gavin said, "Are you suspecting...""The hotel has always had strict security measures. Since that group of reporters could enter, the matter is probably not so simple."But, said Luke, "Investigate it for the sake of appearances."Luke's words had a hidden meaning, so Gavin looked at him puzzled, but then immediately nodded and said, "I understand."Dexie was a little confused, so Luke said, "Let's go home first, and I'll tell you on the way."Reporters couldn't enter the Huxley family's house.Dexie nodded and went to the garage with Luke. The car drove out, and the garage exit was crowded with reporters. They frantically took pictures of Luke's car.Probably because there were too many people, the security guards couldn't stop them all. Dexie frowned and gave Luke a worried look.Luke seemed calm and composed as he drove

“She wants to use this issue to kick you out.” Dexie frowned and became even more worried.“That wouldn’t be enough. Her little tricks won’t scare me away. But they will make things difficult for me for a while,” Luke shook his head and told Dexie.“Will it be troublesome?” Dexie asked.“It depends on how big the impact is,” Luke said with a solemn expression on his face as he drove the car.“She was well prepared, so the situation wouldn’t be easy, but the whip on the back can’t be too heavy. But if she doesn’t have a sense of achievement, her downfall wouldn’t be so crushing."“I have my arrangements. Just endure the gossip for a couple of days,” Luke said with a stern expression on his face.“But if you don’t go out and stay at home, the gossip won’t reach your ears, and things will be fine.”Dexie looked at Luke and shook her head, saying, “There are only two days left until New Year. I want to go home to spend New Year with my family.”“Does that mean you won’t celebrate New Year

Danny's words caught Dexie completely off guard. She couldn't help but feel moved."Danny, are you doing this for my sake?" Dexie looked at Danny in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise and incredulity.Danny nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, you are family to me. Dad said you would become my mom, eventually. Whatever happens, Dad and I will protect you. No one can intimidate you."The expression in Danny's eyes was firm and indeed, it seemed to convey that there was nothing strange about this.Dexie looked at Danny, feeling touched and happy in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't express her emotions in words. She quickly reached out and gathered Danny into her arms to give him a tight hug because she was feeling overwhelmed."Sister, are you so moved?" After Dexie hugged Danny, she was surprised, but then gently patted him and said, "This is what men should do."Danny's blunt remark made Dexie even more moved, and she had a deeper understanding of Luke.In th

“Of course, I didn’t think that, but it’s hard for people not to misinterpret.”Dexie laughed a little uncomfortable as she thought about how not only did she misunderstand,. When she saw the clothes in her room, she felt like they belonged to Danny’s biological mother and it hurt her heart. She hadn’t even worn those clothes yet.As her imagination ran wild, Luke reached out and grabbed her. With a slight force, he pulled her towards him. She lost her balance and fell onto Luke’s leg.“What? Were you jealous of that?” Luke squeezed her chin and asked with a smile on his face.Dexie whiffled her head. She blushed profusely and stuttered as she said, “I, I wouldn’t get jealous over something so trivial. I’m not that boring!”“Really?” Luke arched his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.“Of cou

Luke didn’t respond to Dexie, but he looked at her with a serious expression in his eyes.“Missing in action,” he said.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“Have you ever thought about how much dowry you will get after marrying me?” Luke asked seriously.“Dowry?” Dexie froze, staring at Luke in shock.Luke nodded and continued, “Since you don’t like the Jones family, why do you have to try? It would be more beneficial to use the dowry I gave you to establish your own company in an industry you enjoy and are familiar with. Wouldn’t it feel beneficial to be your own boss?”Dexie was even more surprised when she heard this. “But... Luke, if you give me the dowry, I will also have to do it.”Luke nodded slowly and said, “Since you don’t like the people from the Jones family, wouldn’t it be nicer to be your own boss? Being the owner of the continent’s largest restaurant chain would make the Huxley family rich.”“What’s the rush? We can get married after you graduate. The Huxley family considers thi

“Jessebelle, why? Is it so serious?" Dexie was surprised and couldn’t help lowering her voice.“Yes, it’s severe,” Jessebelle said solemnly.“Dexie, this is important. Although we have been friends for many years, I must warn you that this concerns the lives of many people.”Dexie nodded and told Jessebelle, “Wait a moment; I will close the door of the room.”With that, she closed the door and shut the window. Then, she sat on the sofa and whispered into the phone, “Jessebelle, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone, not even Luke or my parents, so you can calmly tell me.”“Okay.” Jessebelle took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before telling Dexie, “Dexie, the Claire family is connected to Danny’s biological mother.”“What?” Dexie was even more surprised and said, “Danny’s biological mother?”“Well, this matter is complicated and related to a family secret, so I can’t tell you too much, but the death of Danny’s biological mother almost certainly has something to do with Luke.

Dexie was even more surprised and said, “Both of them ran away?”Although it was the 21st century, people had the freedom to pursue their love and marriage: political marriages had never ceased to exist. Family background was more important than anything else. Wealthy families had instilled this value in their children from an early age, and they understood the dire consequences of deviating, which prevented them from fleeing hastily.Running away meant giving up the right to inheritance. Who would break ties with their immensely rich family for the sake of whimsical love? Because he was powerful enough, Luke could afford to go against the Huxley family.The idea of Luke’s determination and perseverance filled Dexie with pain. On the other end of the phone, Jessebelle continued and said, “They ran away and disappeared from everyone’s sight for two full years. Only two years later, I found Luke’s older brother and my cousin.”Dexie was surprised when she heard this. After a long time,

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.

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,
