Danny had always worn a small pendant around his neck, strung on a beautifully woven red rope. It looked normal on the surface, but ever since Dexie first met Danny, he had been wearing that pendant. She had paid little attention to it before, but now that she thinks about it.
When Dexie thought of this possibility, her expression turned solemn. As she held the box lock in her hand, she fell into deep thought. If that box was so important, and if it really was evidence proving Luke’s guilt, then Danny’s mother must have fined it. She wouldn’t put the key in a visible place.
Therefore, if Danny’s mother left the pendant he wore around his neck as a relic, it wouldn’t raise suspicions.
This theory made sense because for so long, not even she had suspected that the pendant on Danny’s neck was something important. Who could have imagined placing such a significant item on such a young child?
Treat Danny well. He is innocent in all of this. Everything that happened was my fault. How could I accept your gifts if I feel nothing for you? I really thought that the things you casually gave me only looked shiny and beautiful on the surface, but were completely useless, as you said. But thinking about it now.You are the son of the Huxley family, so even the things you casually give away are probably worth millions. How could they be useless? Perhaps it was my carelessness that led to so many misunderstandings. Everything that happened was my fault. Therefore, no matter what you do to me, I don’t blame you. Ultimately, Luke, your actions towards me may have been predestined. I just want you and your brother to have a positive relationship and be positive to your father. I also hope I never see this letter.From, Serena.Serena?Dexie wondered if Danny’s mother’s name was Serena.
Once upon a time, a beautiful mermaid lived in the sea. She was pure of heart, innocent, and beautiful. When she was bored, she would lie on the reef and watch the passing ships. One day, a young man sitting at the bow of a ship noticed her. The two fell in love at first sight.However, how could a mermaid fall in love with a human?The man had to marry someone else because they were star-crossed lovers. From then on, the mermaid lay on the reef every day. As she watched the crowd come and go, she waited for her beloved.She lay on the rock, waiting and waiting, longing for him day and night, but he did not come. She shed a single tear every day. On the reef, the tears gradually accumulated.In the end, the mermaid was almost out of tears. When she shed her last tear, she disappeared, and on the reef, there was a sapphire in the shape of a water droplet. The sapphire was like the mermaid’s tears. It was tran
There was a gigantic bouquet of red roses. The packaging was exquisite and extravagant. This was the first time Dexie had received flowers.Confused, Dexie tentatively asked, “Gavin?”“Mrs. Huxley,” Gavin struggled to move the flowers aside to show his face, then said, “These are the flowers Mr. Huxley sent you to express how much he missed you.” With that said, he handed the flowers back to Dexie, then chuckled, scratched his head, pulled out a box from his pocket, and handed it to Dexie, saying, “There’s also a gift. You can open it yourself.”“Dexie frowned, but before she could respond, Gavin had already placed the small box on top of the roses and said, “I’ll leave now.” Before Dexie could come to her senses, Gavin turned around and left. As he turned, he muttered, “Anna really did a fantastic jo
Not only were her eyes swollen, but so was her face. She regretted crying so hard last night. She put a warm towel on her face, and the swelling decreased a bit, but her eyes remained swollen as before. They even felt sore and achy. Dexie sighed in frustration. After completing her skincare routine, she put on a pair of sunglasses, went to Danny’s room, and told Amelia to make some lasagna.Then, in a hoarse voice, she told Danny that she had a cold, so he should play and eat alone. Danny looked at her worriedly and said, “Mommy, are you okay? You’re wearing sunglasses.”Dexie shook her head and said, “I’m fine, so don’t worry. I didn’t sleep well last night, so my eyes are a bit swollen. I’ll go rest now and cook some delicious food for you tonight.”Danny quickly and politely said, “Okay, mommy, don’t worry about me. Rest.” Dexie nodded and said,
“Dexie didn’t mind. She gestured to Danny and said, “Danny, Mom will go to the hospital later; I will cook for you, and you will stay at home with Amelia, okay?”Danny looked at Dexie reluctantly and shook his head as he said, “Mommy, I want to see Grandpa with you.” Dexie frowned, and her voice was hesitant as she said, “But...“Danny looked at Dexie eagerly and said, “Mommy, I don’t want to be alone at home, and I also care about Grandpa’s situation. If Grandpa sees me, he will definitely be thrilled. When Grandpa is happy, then his condition will improve faster.”As Danny said this, Dexie nodded and said, “Okay, go draw for a while, and Mom will go down to cook. Come down in half an hour.” Danny nodded. Dexie returned to the kitchen.The chef had already boiled the chicken noodle soup. She checked the ingredients and added two d
When Jocelyn heard Dexie’s question, she didn’t understand what she meant. However, since Dexie asked, she couldn’t hide it. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and telling Dexie, “Dexie, in fact, your father and I have been hiding this matter from you and didn’t tell you the truth.” We should have told you.”Dexie nodded and told Jocelyn, “I didn’t mean to blame you. I just want to understand it clearly.”As she spoke, she lowered her head and forced a smile as she said, “It’s the same reason you wanted to know if Paloma and I were your daughters.”Upon hearing Dexie’s words, Jocelyn froze for a moment. Surprised, she looked at Dexie in shock and asked, “Dexie, do you doubt your...”“No, mom, I just want to know about the situation back then, and if it was an accident or deliberately caused. After all
Dexie furrowed her brow and opened the box Luke had sent her. This time, there were no precious jewels in the box, just the cap of a wine bottle. She frowned. How come the cap on this wine bottle seemed so familiar?She remembered. This was the wine bottle he had given her when he delivered wine to Barrington Manor the first time she met Luke. She and Luke only met because of the wine. Inside was a handwritten note from Luke. There were two sentences written on it.The second day after I left, I missed you. Would this old thing miss me, too? Dexie couldn’t help but feel her heart soften, but still thought, So what?If nothing had happened that night, maybe she would have never met Luke and never had to endure such pain. She closed the box with a loud thud and tossed the cap straight into the trash.She could no longer be kind. After taking a deep breath, she was about to turn around and leave when Luke calle
Dexie felt heartbroken, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her desolate appearance, Jessebelle felt sympathetic. She looked at Dexie with a sense of guilt and said, “Dexie, I’m sorry, but this evidence is very conclusive. However, you have already fallen in love with him, haven’t you?”Unable to respond, Dexie remained silent.Jessebelle asked, “So, Dexie, what are your plans?”Dexie shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, but when Luke returns, I will lay everything on the table with him.”Jessebelle asked, “Do you mean you will reveal everything we have found?”Dexie nodded. “Are you crazy? If he really is a killer, and you reveal you know what he did, do you think you can still come out alive?” Jessebelle asked.Dexie said, “Jessebelle, I believe Luke won’t harm me.” However, she was unsure as she spoke. She had once believed it, but at this moment, she no longer felt certain.“Dexie, I told you a long time ago that Luke was the killer. If Luke failed to secure Serena’s hand in
