“I’ve already informed her, and she will understand when she inquires.” Don’t worry, she won’t drag the Hansley family down. You can see her when you visit the hospital.A bit exasperated, Dexie rubbed her temples and told Jocelyn, “Mom, I won’t go to the Hansley family’s house tomorrow. It would be inconvenient because you will be at the hospital.”“Dexie, you need to return as soon as Paloma leaves the hospital.” Since things have come to this point, Jocelyn couldn’t say much.She sighed and apologized to Dexie, “Dexie, it was all my fault. In the past, because she was the lost daughter of your father and me, we were biased towards her. We didn’t expect her doing so, and as a result, you endured many grievances because of our actions.”Dexie felt a mix of emotions in her heart. She sighed and said, “Mom, you’re exaggerating.” In the past, I used to be insensitive and ignorant. Now, I understand everything, but..."After a brief pause, Dexie sighed and solemnly told Jocelyn, “However
Luke scratched his lips with his fingertips and looked at Dexie’s plump lips, as if he were remembering the feeling of that kiss at that moment. The lustful expression in his eyes made Dexie feel very uncomfortable. She bit her lip and, after stepping back, said, “If you try anything funny again, I’ll be angry.”Luke nodded hurriedly and said, “I’ll tell you now, but... are you sure you don’t want to go see Danny first? This is a long story.”Dexie frowned and said, “How can it be a long story? I saw you whispering to her for a few seconds. It was just a sentence or two. How can it be so long?”Luke said, “It was a sentence, but there’s more. If I don’t explain it clearly, you won’t know what I’m talking about, so...”He raised his eyebrows, as if asking Dexie if she understood what he meant. After he said this, Dexie nodded slowly and said, “Okay, I understand. Let’s go see Danny first.”Luke promised her, not to break his word. Now, he was more concerned about Danny.When they went
Luke’s words surprised Dexie. She looked at him in disbelief as he said, “Dead?”Luke nodded. His expression was very solemn as he said, “A few years ago, she was actually engaged to my older brother.”“What?” Dexie was completely stunned, and she looked at Luke with astonishment on her face. What kind of situation was this? A few years ago, Luke’s fiancée had been engaged to Vincent?“Wait a minute, tell me more about this.”Dexie swallowed hard. This information was too shocking. She looked at Luke incredulously and asked, “You mean... she used to be your older brother’s fiancée?”Luke nodded and said, “Yes.”Goodness, can blue-blooded families get any more complicated? This was more suspenseful and scandalous than TV and movie plots!Dexie couldn’t help but ask again, “But wasn’t there a rumor that your older brother liked Danny’s mom?”This time, she didn’t mention it out of jealousy or gossip, but simply because she was too surprised. This matter was so complicated.Luke nodded a
“Besides, I think the Huxley family is not an attainable target,” Dexie said. “If she were so shamelessly unscrupulous, I probably wouldn’t be alive right now.”Dexie’s words immediately made Luke feel better. He nodded and said, “Yes, she doesn’t have the guts, and her family won’t allow her to go against the Huxley family. Offending the Huxley family would also be detrimental to them. We don’t know what will happen after she becomes the family head, so I need to be stronger to protect you.”Luke touched Dexie, who lowered her head to avoid making eye contact. She was afraid of crying, and Luke would laugh at her.With a serious expression on her face, Dexie said, “Luke, I will also become more powerful; so powerful that others cannot hurt me.”“Originally, I thought it wasn’t the right time, and we shouldn’t announce the news of our marriage to prevent her or the Huxley family from hurting you, but you lost your temper and left home last time, and then there was that Twitter post in
After answering Eric’s call, Dexie said with a smile, “Eric, we’ll be back soon.”On the other end of the phone, Eric’s voice was anxious as he said, “Dexie, go to the hospital, Dad is sick.”Dexie’s expression changed, and she asked, “What’s wrong with Dad?”Eric’s tone was very concerned as he said, “He suddenly felt unwell. Let’s meet at the hospital.” Saying nothing more, he hung up the phone.Dexie nodded hurriedly and said, “I see. Eric, I’ll go quickly.”Seeing Dexie so worried, Luke couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”Dexie was anxious as she said, “My dad has gone to the hospital. I’m going. Luke, take care of Danny.” She thought, he was fine here yesterday, but how come suddenly.Luke said, “I’ll go with yo
Luke was surprised, but he smiled and held her hand with a longing expression.“It’s just a business trip, so how can I be in danger?”Dexie sighed in relief and said, “That’s fine; you should be careful. Why didn’t you bring Gavin? He’s used to being by your side. If I’m careful, nothing will happen to me.” Aside from that, there are so many guards in the house.Luke shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I have my own precautions in place so that no one can harm me. But you...”He sighed and said, “Don’t worry, just accept this arrangement, or else I won’t feel comfortable if you’re at home.”Dexie nodded helplessly and said, “Okay.”Luke looked at her with affectionate eyes. Luke’s kind behavior towards Dexie made her feel a little shy. Once they announced their relations
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Dexie said.Tara didn’t understand, so she laughed and casually said, “Your blood type differs from ours. No wonder you’re much prettier than Eric.”“Eh?” Tara’s blunt comment stunned Dexie. She only came back to reality a while later.“What is your blood type and Dad’s?” She had a terrible feeling in her heart. Thinking about Eric’s expression at that moment, she still felt that something was wrong.“I am type O, your father is type B, and your brother is the same as me.” Tara didn’t realize how shocking her words were to Dexie. She didn’t understand and thought that everyone’s blood type was different. With that said, she turned around and went to the bathroom.But Dexie, extremely surprised, remained motionless.What is happening? Tara didn’t understa
I was genuinely unaware of the circumstances that led her to undergo these experiences. They used to be her closest relatives, but now things have turned out this way. Dexie couldn’t help but sigh. She told Jocelyn, “Mom, it’s none of your business. Just do what we agreed on before. Don’t overwork yourself and take care of your health.”Jocelyn nodded and said, “I see. Once Dexie leaves the hospital, he should return home.” Dexie nodded."They parted ways, and Dexie returned to the Huxley family’s house. Gavin drove her home, and then she cooked for Danny. At the hospital, Danny shared a small meal with them, but his intake was limited. She made chicken noodle soup with some vegetables for Danny, and she also planned to make fettuccine. Before she could start, she heard Ava’s voice asking behind her, “Dexie, are you going to let Danny eat this?”Ava seem
