Chapter 218
“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,

Dexie was shocked and asked Jessebelle on the phone with shock.“Do you want me to help you investigate this matter?”Jessebelle nodded, and her tone became increasingly solemn as she said, “Yes, Dexie, this is not just for me but also for you.”Dexie couldn’t help but ask, “Jessebelle, do you want me to find out the truth?”“Dexie, this is very dangerous, but Luke has sincere feelings for you now, so all you have to do is pay more attention. If you can find any clues, that would be best; if you can’t find any, don’t risk it. If Luke goes downhill, no one can afford to resist his anger!”Jessebelle’s tone was solemn, and when she said this, she sounded scared and apprehensive. “Dexie, this matter is very dangerous. Don’t be hasty and let nature take its course. It’s just that you are in the Greco family’s house now; Luke trusts you, and Danny likes you so much, so it’s easier for you to investigate the truth than for me.”Dexie remained silent. She didn’t know how to respond to Jesseb

"Ah, Luke, no, I can do it myself." Dexie hurriedly turned off the water, but by the time she did, Luke had already made the call."Hello, is this the principal?" Holding his phone, he spoke as he walked away. It seemed like the other person had already answered the call."Oh, so the situation is like this... I wonder if there is a first-year student named Dexie Hansley in your school. Yes, yes, it's her."Luke winked at Dexie, then sat at the dining table and said solemnly, "Oh, nothing, she... She's my wife, um, yes, she's married; she is."Dexie looked at Luke in surprise and wondered how he could reveal such things so easily.This made her think of what Jessebelle had told her. He didn't seem concerned at all about his affairs being known. Instead, it seemed like he wanted as many people as possible to know.He looked at Dexie and saw Dexie's anxious expression. He shook his head slightly, as if to express that it didn't matter.Feeling a little helpless, Dexie frowned, but she co

Dexie regained her senses and said quickly, “I’ll be out soon.” Jessebelle lowered her voice and whispered, “Hurry. I’ll wait for you.”After Dexie hung up the phone, Gavin said, “Ma’am, let me explain how to drive it. Five minutes will be enough. It won’t take much of your time.”Dexie asked, “Gavin, is this... Did Luke buy this for me?”Gavin, who had overheard Luke’s words, chuckled and replied, “What do you think, ma’am?”“I see,” she said, feeling touched. He always took her words seriously, even her casual remarks.“Ma’am, Mr. Huxley has never cared so much about any woman. You are the only one he truly cares for. Mr. Huxley loves you, but he struggles to express it, so please be understanding. He may appear cold on the surface, but he genuinely likes you,” Gavin said earnestly in defense of Luke.Luke was so emotionally disoriented that Gavin couldn’t help but want to help him. Although he had never had a girlfriend, he had seen many romantic dramas!“Gavin, please call me by m

Jessebelle looked around cautiously and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she said solemnly, “Dexie, I found out from my grandmother today that my cousin left a box.”With a perplexed expression, Dexie furrowed her brow and asked, “A box?”“Yes,” Jessebelle approached Dexie with an increasingly serious expression and said in a low voice, “If we find the box, we can uncover the truth.”“How did Mrs. Claire find out?” Dexie asked.Jessebelle lowered her voice and said, “When my cousin and Luke’s older brother had just returned, she left the box and told my grandmother.”Dexie couldn’t help but ask, “Where is that box right now?”“The box is still at the Huxley family’s house.” Looking at Dexie, Jessebelle’s expression was very solemn as she said, “It’s at Barrington Manor of the Huxley family.”“Barrington Manor?” Remembering something, Dexie furrowed her brow slightly.She had once gone to the Huxley family to deliver wine, and it was with Luke at Barrington Ma

Dexie’s family looked back. It was indeed Bleanor. Dario and Jocelyn followed her. They probably also came out today to buy New Year’s gifts. They were dressed in glamorous designer clothes. Compared to Dario and Jocelyn, Dexie’s parents, Howard and Tara, looked very shabby.Dexie felt uncomfortable. She frowned as she looked at Dario and Jocelyn and said, “Dad, Mom.”No matter what, they had raised her for so many years. Howard and Jocelyn seemed to have guessed their identities and awkwardly greeted them. They didn’t know what to do.Eric was no longer smiling at this moment. He stood to the side coldly looking at Paloma.Paloma timidly shouted, “Dad, Mom, brother.”The two elders nodded, but Eric seemed cold and very unhappy.“Dexie, I haven’t seen you in a long time. My parents missed you a lot. What happened last time... was my fault. Now that things have been resolved, how about we reconcile?” He pulled Dexie affectionately.Dexie pushed Paloma’s hand away and said, “Really? Yo
