Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 299: Discussing Again
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 300: Couldn't Resist Helping Her
“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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 301
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 302: That Boy Is Lucky
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 303: Discovers Who Helped
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 304: They Returned Home Together
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 305: Misunderstood Luke
He knocked on the room’s door, but there was no movement inside, so the door opened instead. He thought Luke knew he was coming, so he opened the door and entered. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Luke with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He wasn’t wearing anything on his upper body, and his hair was dripping water. It seemed like he had just finished showering. He had a magnificent figure, with well-developed abs and biceps, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight legs. With his sexy figure, he even put models to shame. It was the first time Dexie had seen his figure directly, and she covered her eyes in shock. Luke didn’t care.He turned his head and looked at Dexie indifferently, asking, “Do you need something?” With her face turned away, Dexie said, “Put on some clothes first.”Luke muttered, “You’ve touched me before, but now you feel embarrassed?&rd
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 306: Luke Had Never Liked Serena
When she thought about it this way, she sighed in relief.“There are rumors, and I heard from others,” Dexie said with a serious expression. “And... I have found evidence.”When Gavin heard Dexie say this, he became more and more puzzled and asked, “You found evidence? Mrs. Huxley, um... did someone instigate you?”Dexie shook her head and said, “No, I really found evidence.”Gavin asked, “So... what evidence did you find?”When she received a call, Dexie was about to speak when she received a call at that moment.It was a call from Noah. Although she didn’t want to answer at this moment, she was afraid that Noah might have something serious to tell her, so she answered the phone.As soon as the call connected, before Dexie could speak, Noah anxiously asked on the other end of the phone, “Dexie, where are you?”“I’m outside. What’s going on?” Dexie didn’t directly say that she was at the Huxley family’s house.“Jessebelle and I visited your apartment. We knocked on the door, but no on

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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 315: The Stepmother Tricks Danny into Going Out Alone
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,
