Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 25
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

“Miss, please learn the rules of driving before arguing with others. You are making a fool of yourself," Dexie said impatiently. Narda didn't take Dexie's words seriously and assumed it was just Dexie being bossy. She hit the back of the car, refusing to admit her hidden hostility towards Dexie and her intention to cause trouble. As Narda recalled Luke Huxley's concern over photos of Dexie with another man, she felt a surge of jealousy, intensifying her hatred for Dexie. Believing she was Luke Huxley's true love, Narda felt superior to Dexie. “You are the one who is wrong here. Are you so stupid not to realize that?" Narda said with a sarcastic smile, her words dripping with contempt and malice. Dexie felt her anger rising at Narda's words. In the past, Narda had played pranks on Luke Huxley because Dexie had refused to divorce him. Dexie had made many foolish decisions out of concern for Luke Huxley, and now she realized she could have handled things differently. Pushing aside h

As a compliant husband, he agreed with his wife on everything, and since she didn't like Narda, he didn't either.Marilyn was kind to Dexie, so Simon agreed with her.Simon no longer cared or fretted about Luke Huxley's foolish decisions. He believed Luke would be foolish if he defended his ex-girlfriend over his ex-wife.Dexie met Simon's gaze as he approached her.After a moment,."Simon!" she shouted.As she called out Simon's name, Luke Huxley looked at her.Somehow, he appeared less frustrated than before, with a hint of a smile on his face. However, Dexie was oblivious to this change in his demeanor."What is really happening?" Simon then inquired.Narda, standing beside Luke Huxley, glanced at Simon, thinking, "Do you not believe me?" She covered her swollen cheek and tearfully asked, "Simon, don't you believe me?""No," Simon replied with a grim expression.Narda felt embarrassed and hurt by Simon's blunt response.With tears in her eyes, she continued to play the victim: "Simo

Simon didn't think Luke Huxley would do that. Narda could no longer find an excuse for herself, so she had to act with firmness. She took out her phone. "I haven't really learned the rules, and I have even angered your wife. I'm going to call the insurance company now." She dialed the insurance company's number.That's when the men Dexie had called arrived.They determined that Narda was entirely responsible for the accident and waited for her men to complete the procedures. Simon was eager to return to dinner with his wife, so he gave them the key to Dexie's car and suggested leaving."Let's go then."Luke Huxley had no intention of staying either, which disheartened Narda. However, she didn't give up even when she saw him leaving. She called out to him, and when he turned around, he appeared calm and emotionless, treating her as if she were a stranger.Realizing that she had lost the pride she once had, she couldn't help but clench her fists."My boys aren't here yet. Are you leavi

Everyone assumed he divorced Dexie because he wanted to get back with Narda. "You all are excellent at making up stories. You should write a book," Luke Huxley said, putting on a serious face and feeling hot under his collar. "If everyone thinks like that, does Dexie think the same way too?" he suddenly wondered, concerned. "We're not making it up. You're the one who acts like it." Simon glared at him and added, "If that's not the case, why would you make Dexie apologize to Narda when you clearly knew it was Narda's fault? What were you thinking?"Luke Huxley said nothing. But Simon didn't let it go and continued, "If you were Dexie, how would you feel? You defended another woman and made her apologize indiscriminately. She must hate your guts." Luke Huxley remained silent, but he raised his jaw."Why did I ask him to apologize to her? I didn't want him to ignore me like that! His arrogant attitude made me frustrated and insecure," he thought. Feeling that he had said enough, Simon

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,
