Chapter 278: She Wants To Break
Last Updated:
2024-09-14 09:00:07Not 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

Dexie nodded and asked Noah, “Is the mark of the ocean heart the same as that of the city?”Noah nodded and said, “This is a niche mark. There are only two stores in Xeston. One of them is in the city. Their service is excellent, and no matter how many years have passed, there would still be records of the things purchased, so let’s ask if there are any clues. If the store can’t find the information, I’ll use some connections.”Dexie nodded, parked the car in the mall garage, and sat in Noah’s car. They drove to the jewellery store.It was a high-end jewellery store. The people inside were well-dressed, and since Noah used to report on financial news, several store employees hurried to assist.Noah sat on the couch and waited. Jessebelle and Dexie pretended to be fascinated by the jewellery. First, each chose two pieces of jewellery. Then, Dexie pretended to be dissatisfied and tried on several necklaces in succession.One of the store employees noticed Dexie had already ordered two o

Noah looked at Dexie with a stern and serious expression on his face as he said, “Dexie, with your personality, if you see him, you will definitely expose yourself, but if Luke was truly a killer, and you left him, finding out that you know everything about what he did, for the sake of reputation, do you think... you would still be safe?”Noah’s expression was very solemn and grave as he looked at Dexie. Dexie couldn’t help but feel upset. Looking at Noah, she was speechless for a moment.“Dexie, listen to my brother. Think of an excuse to move out first, then think of a way to go abroad for a period.”Jessebelle said angrily, “We have evidence, so even if it’s the Huxley family, the Claire family will try to seek justice. We can’t let him be above the law.”Upon hearing Jessebelle’s statement, Dexie anxiously inquired, “Is it workable?” The Claire family is up against the Huxley family; that’s like throwing straws against the wind. How can you? ..”Jessebelle said, “Why not? Luke is

The woman saw that she didn’t know what to say, so she laughed and said, “Miss Hansley, you don’t have to console me. Some things are unavoidable, so it’s preferable to hold on to them. Pain is a type of life experience. I prefer to feel the pain than to forget it.”Her words surprised Dexie for a moment, then she sighed and nodded her head as she said, “Your words make sense.”As if she were thinking about something, she looked at the woman in front of her with curiosity and said, “But... how do you know that my last name is Hansley?”The lady pointed to the words on the tombstone when she said, “The name of the son above should be your father, right? So I assumed that your last name is Hansley.”Dexie froze for a moment, then came back to her senses and said, “Yes, but I wonder how I should address you.”The woman was moment

He gasped as he kissed her with intense fervor, as if he had been suppressing his love sickness and missing her all this time. He held her tightly as he kissed her predominantly, as if he wanted to become one with Dexie.He sealed Dexie’s lips so tightly that she couldn’t open her mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.She wanted to push Luke away, but Luke’s passion seemed contagious. At one point, she felt as if her whole body had weakened. Her body softened, and she felt dizzy.After a long time, as if fearing she couldn’t breathe, Luke reluctantly pulled away from her lips, then kissed her on the cheek while embracing her shoulders.Dexie regained her senses. She reached out to push Luke away and murmured, “Luke, let go of me.”Her voice was hoarse and gasping, so at this moment, it sounded as if she was timidly tempting him. Luke let out a growl and sealed her lips again with a kiss.“Let go of me, Luke.”Luke’s movements startled her a bit, and she immediately broke down

This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta

The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w

He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her

In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.

“Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”

“Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about... Quenti

As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi

Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an

Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
