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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 286: Dexie, Are You Scared?
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 287: Taking Her Feelings for Granted
He seemed surprised and puzzled. After saying this sentence, as if still feeling incredulous, he asked again in a deep voice, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you afraid of me?”Dexie stammered, “I...”For a while, she was speechless and couldn’t respond to him.She wondered, What should she say?She wondered, Should she confess?No, that wouldn’t work.However, her body was trembling uncontrollably, and she looked absolutely terrified, as if she would burst into tears the next moment.Her reaction left Luke extremely puzzled.He wondered why the person he loved the most, the person he deeply cared about, the person he did everything to bring the best things in the world to, would be afraid of him.At its core, this type of fear had deep roots.He wondered, What the hell had happened? He had just left for a few days, so why did Dexie turn like this?This differed completely from Gavin’s report.Luke, don’t ask anymore. I beg you, go back to your room. I’m fine. I don’t want to see you
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 288: Exposing Everything Out
Despite her best efforts, her sense of rationality vanished, and she completely forgot all of Noah’s words to her. She looked at Luke with extreme coldness and hostility in her eyes. There was an indescribable pain, sadness, and resentment in her eyes, as if she were extremely disappointed with Luke.At that moment, Luke suddenly felt a little scared. His heart ached, as if something was stabbing it. This kind of pain filled him with distress. Luke frowned and looked at her incredulously as he asked, “What did you find?” His tone was both solemn and puzzled.“I found out your secret. Luke, I know all the things you did. I also know who you liked.”“At first, I didn’t want to say anything and just planned to leave quietly, but I didn’t expect you to come back so early. However, since things have come to this, I will.” I’ll say what I have to say, and there’s no need to hide it anymore. Just tell th

After finishing reading the letter, he frowned and looked at Dexie with a suspicious expression. He forced a smile and said, “Did you see these things, so you thought she liked me? Did you see this photo?”“Not only did I see that photo, I saw everything. Every word and every gift showed how much you liked her,” Dexie entered the study and closed the door. At the moment, she no longer cared. If Luke admitted everything in person, maybe she would give up.Luke frowned and said, “Dexie, what are you thinking? I didn’t send these things.”“You didn’t send it? I have already investigated the matter. The jewelry store even has sales records.” They said, “My husband, Mr. Huxley, bought it a few years ago!”With tears flowing, Dexie walked towards him step by step while saying, “Luke, if you admit it, I may not be so upset, but... I already found out the truth, so why do you keep denyi
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 290: Returning Home
Danny was still asleep. There was food he had prepared in the refrigerator, but if Danny found out about her departure after waking up, how sad he would be. Whatever happens, Danny was innocent in all of this and still did not know about anything. But she had to leave even if she didn’t want to. Luke had already told her to go.After quietly planting a kiss on Danny’s forehead, Dexie didn’t hesitate anymore. She turned around and left. She put on the jacket she wore when she first arrived, grabbed her backpack, and got ready to leave.She thought about how to leave. It wasn’t a wise idea for Noah to pick her up because the paparazzi were probably waiting outside. She let Gavin send her down the mountain, and then she would take a taxi.Gavin paced back and forth on the stairs anxiously as she descended. Seeing Dexie dressed like that, he was surprised. Then he asked with a puzzled expression on his face, “Ma’am, why are you dr
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 291
She originally wanted to ignore it, but after hearing Gavin’s words, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”Gavin’s voice sounded anxious as he told Dexie, “Mrs. Huxley, after Danny woke up, he found out that you were no longer at home, so he started crying.”“Mr. Huxley didn’t care. He was drinking.” He got very drunk and even vomited twice. Mrs. Huxley, please come back soon.”Gavin’s voice conveyed a sense of extreme anxiety, showing that he was likely nearing his limit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called or sounded so anxious.Dexie’s expression turned serious. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is Danny still crying?”“Yes, he’s still crying. He won’t stop crying no matter who tries to persuade him, and he won’t even drink water
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 292: Returning Home
Dexie whispered to Danny, “Okay, go to bed now and try not to cry anymore, alright?”She fought back the urge to cry. Danny assured her, “Okay, Mom. Goodbye. I’ll have the lasagna you left for me soon.”Dexie thought he was just saying that, so she didn’t take it seriously. She nodded and said, “Alright, behave yourself. I’ll hang up now.”As Dexie was about to end the call, Gavin quickly intervened and said, “Wait a moment. I need to tell you something.”Dexie paused and waited for Gavin to speak. Gavin took a deep breath and struggled to tell Dexie, “Mrs. Huxley, Mr. Huxley is still drinking. If he doesn’t stop, things could escalate. He’s emotionally unstable right now. Please hurry back.” Feeling upset, Dexie dismissed Gavin’s concerns.“Gavin, I’ll begin the divorce proceedings with him in a few days.” “If you continue to say such things, I won’t return.” Gavin hesitated and said nothing further.He mumbled, “Okay.”After hanging up, Gavin still felt unsettled. Danny was in a pit

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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 322
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 321
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,
