When Dexie heard Noah’s words, she sighed in relief. Noah picked up the phone and said to Dexie in a serious tone, “Dexie, I have a question I want to ask you.” When Dexie spoke, her voice was still hoarse and sounded as if she were depressed.“What is it?”“I know you want to stop me because you are worried about my safety and don’t want to involve others,” Noah sighed and said helplessly, “But... could it be possible that it’s because you care about Luke?”Noah’s words suddenly made Dexie fall silent, and for a while, she didn’t know how to respond. She wondered, What were her true intentions? She cared about the Claire family and feared implicating others, but maybe she still felt something for Luke? She wondered, Why would she still worry about him?She considered him a substitute and had the cold blood to even kill her older brother- and sister-in-law, so why did she apparently still not give up on him? Her own feelings confused Dexie. She wondered, had Luke’s kindness and sweetn
Could it be that the DNA test report showed that Dexie was his sister? Otherwise, how could an average person, especially someone from the lower class, dare to go against Luke? After Eric heard what Dexie said, he snorted and said it in a distant tone, as if he had realized nothing.“Fear? What is there to fear? You are so beautiful, kind, and young, so you can make any man afraid.”Dexie felt deeply moved and distressed, but after hearing Eric’s words, she forced a smile and said, “Eric, I didn’t mean that. I mean, aren’t you afraid of the Huxley family? After all, he is Luke Huxley.”“I don’t care who he is. He can’t intimidate you, and he was wrong in the first place,” Eric raised his fists and said, “Don’t worry, I may not be good for anything, but hitting on womanizers is very easy for me.”Dexie shook her head and said, “Forget it, Eric, I won’t go there for now. I will file for divorce with him in a few days. What does it matter to me even if he finds a girlfriend?”When Eric h
Feeling concerned, Dexie furrowed her brow. In the past, this was basically the only hospital in the area. Dexie, Eleanor, and Eric’s sister, who were born to mothers from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, gave birth to their children at that hospital, leading to an unintentional switch. However, even though it was a public hospital and therefore not as well-equipped as those high-level private hospitals today, it was too much of a coincidence that there was an incident where a water pipe burst and a fire. Dexie believed the situation was more complicated than it appeared. Someone might have instigated those incidents.Dexie asked, “Can we visit that Dean then?” With a worried expression on her face, Jane shook her head and said, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible because that old dean has already retired and cannot be bribed. But I know he really likes oil paintings.”Dexie furrowed her brow and said, “Really, is that so? In that case, thank you for the advice. I will think of a sol
However, according to Jane, Dexie didn’t have any other options. Straightforward people, like him, were the most difficult to deal with. What should she do? Could it be that she really had no choice but to go back and beg Luke for help? She frowned. Her fight with Luke had been so intense that they had reached the point of almost getting a divorce, but even if she swallowed her pride to beg him for help, Luke still might not help her.So, what should she do? She couldn’t even give away these two tickets. Her imagination ran wild, and she actually missed Danny a bit. Dexie drove her secondhand car aimlessly. Unknowingly, she drove the car to the Huxley Group building. After coming to her senses, she secretly scolded herself for being so careless. Then, the car made a U-turn and headed back. She was a little hungry, so she ordered a plate of pasta at a restaurant near the Huxley Group building. When Gavin saw the pictures of Dexie sent by the person following her, he was so excited that
Amelia said while crying, “I don’t know. While eating, Danny suddenly vomited.”She hadn’t seen Danny vomit so much in a long time. She was so scared and worried about Danny’s safety that tears flowed.Luke slowly frowned and looked at Amelia. Seeing her looking hesitant, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you hiding something from me?”Amelia raised her head and looked at Luke. Looking a bit worried, she lowered her head again. After thinking it over, she hesitated before saying, “Actually, I suspect Danny vomited because he ate too much.”As she spoke, she wiped Danny’s mouth and gave him some warm water to drink.Resting in Luke’s arms, Danny looked very weak and said, “Dad, my stomach hurts.”Luke felt distressed for Danny, so he reached out and gently patted Danny’s shoulder while soothing him gently.“I’ll take you to see the doctor, okay?”Danny shook his head and looked at Luke with a grievance when he said, “No, Dad, I don’t want to see a doctor. Can you take me to see Mom? I alm
After she heard his voice, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Dexie said, “Do you need something?” She was debating whether to seek Luke’s help when he called. She repressed her anger, didn’t hang up, and instead asked, “Why don’t you use your own phone?”Luke said, “Don’t you remember you blocked my number?” Luke’s voice was calm, but his tone sounded reproachful.“Um...”Surprised, Dexie froze for a moment. She remembered that after waiting in vain for Luke’s call for two days, on an impulse, she blocked his number. She didn’t expect that.The people on both ends of the phone remained silent for a while. After a while, Luke took a deep breath before saying, “Danny vomited again.” Upon hearing this, Dexie became very anxious and asked, “What’s wrong with Danny?”Upon hearing Dexie’s anxious voice, Luke felt distressed. After he left, he didn’t miss her at all but immediately became anxious when he heard that something was wrong with Danny.Complete
Luke simply looked at them, saying nothing. Dexie couldn’t help but look up and meet his eyes. Then, Dexie moved her head away from Luke and averted her gaze. She then hugged Danny and said with feigned annoyance, “Danny, go take a nap, okay?”Danny shook his head and looked at Luke. From the reproachful expression in his eyes, it seemed like he blamed him for being useless at a critical moment. Then, Danny reached out his little hand, wrapped his arms around Dexie, and rested his head on her shoulder as he said, “Mom, come back. Dad and I miss you a lot. Can you come home to do your homework? I promise I won’t bother you, Mom.”Danny hugged Dexie tightly, as if he wouldn’t give up unless she agreed. Dexie looked at Luke. He had been looking at her with enthusiasm and anticipation on his face, but when Dexie looked at him, he quickly adopted a sullen expression. Dexie noticed.She mistakenly thought that her girlfriend had probably already moved out. But Dexie didn’t feel it was appro
“Are you trying to say that... I misunderstood you?” Dexie furrowed her brow and asked, “You didn’t do those things? But you didn’t like Serena? You don’t consider me her substitute? You can’t deny this, can you?”Luke furrowed his brow. Seeing Dexie’s stubborn expression, he felt frustrated and helpless. He didn’t know how to explain it to her.This stubborn woman was really too stubborn.“Think what you want. What do you want me to do?” Luke completely believed Gavin’s words about her driving downstairs because she was eager to see him.Dexie thought his words were strange, but upon thinking about it, she had something to ask Luke, so she said, “I... want you to do me a favor.”“A favor?” When Dexie said that, Luke’s belief in Gavin’s words increased, and his anger towards Dexie slightly decreased. However, he feigned indifference when he asked Dexie, “What can I do for you?” When you met Noah for coffee, why didn’t you ask him for help?”Dexie was initially taken aback, but soon ca
