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
After a while, someone answered the phone.On the other end of the phone, the cheerful and robust voice of a man said, “Mr. Huxley, why do you have time to call me?”In a relaxed tone, Luke said to the older adult man on the other end of the phone, “Mr. Campbell, what are you doing?”“What can I do? The snow hasn’t melted yet, so there’s nowhere to go fishing.” Mr. Campbell laughed and said, “What’s up?”“Can’t I call you if nothing’s going on?” Luke laughed and said, “It’s nothing, but I have a painting I want to give you. Do you want it?”The older adult man on the other end of the phone was genuinely interested and eagerly asked Luke, “Painting?”“What kind of painting?”Luke laughed and said, “It’s a new oil painting. Mr. Campbell, you know I don’t love them, and I don’t know how to appreciate them. If you don’t mind, can I give it to you?”Surprised, Mr. Campbell was stunned for a moment, then said with a somewhat hesitant voice, “Oh, Luke, are you serious? Are you really... givi
Dexie wondered if someone had mistaken her for a salesperson. Dexie forced a smile and said, “Grandma, I’m here to find Mr. Campbell, not to sell things.” The old lady looked a bit worried when she said, “Oh, but I don’t know you, so I can’t let you in. Mr. Campbell is not at home, would you come back tomorrow?”Dexie thought for a moment and then said, “When will Mr. Campbell be back?” The old lady hesitated a bit before saying, “He will probably be back before dinner. He doesn’t enjoy going out to eat.”Dexie nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go out and wait for him in the yard.” The old lady seemed a bit worried. She looked at Dexie anxiously and said, “But... it’s cold outside and the snow hasn’t melted yet.” Looking uncomfortable, she turned her gaze back to the room. Dexie thought her family probably told her that strangers couldn’t come in.Seeing the old lady act this way, Dexie laughed and said, “Ma’am, don’t worry. I’m really not a negative person, and my car is outside. I’l
Dexie was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Yes, but... how did he know, Mr. Campbell?”Mr. Campbell went to the kitchen to wash his hands. He wasn’t too formal. Instead, he seemed to regard Dexie as an acquaintance. After washing his hands, he dried them with a towel while smiling and said to Dexie, “Luke told me. How else would I know? And even if I knew you, I wouldn’t make an exception for you without him!”Dexie, surprised, looked at Mr. Campbell in shock and said, “He was the one who told you?”Mr. Campbell nodded and said, “Yes, that boy really cares about you. He bribed me with an oil painting! Although the boy didn’t mention the price, I can tell that this oil painting must be priceless. It may seem cold on the surface, but deep down, it’s actually very kind. He really cares about you. He also told me not to tell you, so you wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.”Dexie couldn’t help but feel a little moved. When she was in his office in the afternoon, he rejected her. Why did he sud
Indeed, Gavin’s words made Luke glare at him.Fearing that Luke would get frustrated and then send him to a distant and remote land, Gavin felt a cold sweat running down his back.Gavin looked at Luke and said cautiously, “Mr. Huxley, Anna said that sometimes, women don’t mean what they say. During fights, even if they were wrong, they wouldn’t admit it. They would wait for the man to convince them.”He had already told so many lies, so telling one more wouldn’t make a big difference.Indeed, as soon as Gavin’s voice lowered, Luke looked at him and said indifferently, “Is that so?”Gavin nodded hastily and said, “Yes, how could I dare to lie to you?”As expected, Luke fell silent, then looked at Gavin and nodded slightly. In his opinion, Gavin wouldn’t dare to lie.Luke said in a casual tone, “I don&rsquo
