Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 30
As a compliant husband, he agreed with his wife on everything, and since she didn't like Narda, he didn't either.Marilyn was kind to Dexie, so Simon agreed with her.Simon no longer cared or fretted about Luke Huxley's foolish decisions. He believed Luke would be foolish if he defended his ex-girlfriend over his ex-wife.Dexie met Simon's gaze as he approached her.After a moment,."Simon!" she shouted.As she called out Simon's name, Luke Huxley looked at her.Somehow, he appeared less frustrated than before, with a hint of a smile on his face. However, Dexie was oblivious to this change in his demeanor."What is really happening?" Simon then inquired.Narda, standing beside Luke Huxley, glanced at Simon, thinking, "Do you not believe me?" She covered her swollen cheek and tearfully asked, "Simon, don't you believe me?""No," Simon replied with a grim expression.Narda felt embarrassed and hurt by Simon's blunt response.With tears in her eyes, she continued to play the victim: "Simo

Simon didn't think Luke Huxley would do that. Narda could no longer find an excuse for herself, so she had to act with firmness. She took out her phone. "I haven't really learned the rules, and I have even angered your wife. I'm going to call the insurance company now." She dialed the insurance company's number.That's when the men Dexie had called arrived.They determined that Narda was entirely responsible for the accident and waited for her men to complete the procedures. Simon was eager to return to dinner with his wife, so he gave them the key to Dexie's car and suggested leaving."Let's go then."Luke Huxley had no intention of staying either, which disheartened Narda. However, she didn't give up even when she saw him leaving. She called out to him, and when he turned around, he appeared calm and emotionless, treating her as if she were a stranger.Realizing that she had lost the pride she once had, she couldn't help but clench her fists."My boys aren't here yet. Are you leavi
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 32
Everyone assumed he divorced Dexie because he wanted to get back with Narda. "You all are excellent at making up stories. You should write a book," Luke Huxley said, putting on a serious face and feeling hot under his collar. "If everyone thinks like that, does Dexie think the same way too?" he suddenly wondered, concerned. "We're not making it up. You're the one who acts like it." Simon glared at him and added, "If that's not the case, why would you make Dexie apologize to Narda when you clearly knew it was Narda's fault? What were you thinking?"Luke Huxley said nothing. But Simon didn't let it go and continued, "If you were Dexie, how would you feel? You defended another woman and made her apologize indiscriminately. She must hate your guts." Luke Huxley remained silent, but he raised his jaw."Why did I ask him to apologize to her? I didn't want him to ignore me like that! His arrogant attitude made me frustrated and insecure," he thought. Feeling that he had said enough, Simon

"Marcus!""Marcus!""Marcus!"Sarry, Roxane, and Mrs. Domino screamed and rose from their chairs, while Rodel remained silent, his face red with anger."Why did you do that, Dexie? He's your brother!" Mrs. Domino screamed.Dexie stomped on Marcus's face as he turned to look at the others. Her eyes were full of malice, which scared them.They thought if they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't attack them.She glanced away, then looked at Marcus."Believe it or not, I can hit you as well as kill you." Her threat was forceful and implicit.She didn't know how she became so powerful as to leave him unable to move.It all happened so fast that he didn't see exactly how she crushed him.She felt hatred, shame, and anger at the same time.Without removing her foot from his face, Dexie slowly stood up and continued, "An animal may not behave. You should not speak if you don't know how to communicate with me.""Did you understand?"When Luke Huxley entered the house, the first thing he heard were
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 34
If Narda found out about Luke Huxley's actions, wouldn't she be worried about losing the three years she spent maintaining her chastity?Dexie shot him a disdainful look before saying emotionlessly, "Thank you, Mr. Dawson. Now you can have your hand back."Luke Huxley had become accustomed to Dexie's indifference. When listening to Dexie's words, he gently retracted his hand."Okay, I'll listen to you."Her mischievous smile made Dexie internally roll her eyes. Wouldn't her brash behavior be misinterpreted as if he were a loving husband and they were a loving couple in the eyes of an outsider?As Dexie expected, Roxane, who was sitting right in front of them, was filled with jealousy. Her eyes turned red when she noticed how Luke Huxley treated her and Dexie differently."Why wouldn't she take another look at me? I'm trying to please him, but he hasn't even told me a single word. Besides that, he even tried to make me seem embarrassed several times. But he cares a lot about Dexie. Why
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 35
Rodel and Sarry shared the same thoughts as Roxane.The Domino family already knew that Luke Huxley had filed for divorce with Dexie. However, they did not understand why she maintained this image of a good husband in front of them. Rodel guessed that Luke Huxley was doing it to show respect to him, his father-in-law.Regardless of what had happened, he was Dexie's father. Maybe Luke Huxley was worried that he would anger Rodel if he mistreated Dexie."If I vaguely hint to Luke Huxley that I don't care about his marriage to Dexie, will he pay a little more attention to Roxane?" As soon as he thought of this, Rodel immediately put on a loving smile."Luke Huxley, don't worry about her. Her grandfather has pampered Dexie since she was a child. How can you see, she is not only rude to you but also to her grandmother? Please forgive her."Although Rodel was apologizing to Luke Huxley on Dexie's behalf, his words strongly implied to Luke Huxley that D
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 36
Luke Huxley raised his eyebrows at Rodel, not believing a single word he said."What if Dexie upsets someone else? Are you worried that you cannot protect your daughter, or are you worried that I cannot protect my wife?" Rodel replied. Rodel was dumbfounded.At this moment, Luke Huxley was echoing every word Rodel said, preventing further resistance.Luke Huxley was never one to get hung up on a small matter like this.Did he change after spending time with Dexie? Luke Huxley was fed up with Rodel.Although he had only visited the Domino family home twice, Luke Huxley had been a personal witness to how Rodel treated Dexie.In the past, he cared little about these things. But after realizing how Dexie was being framed by her biological father and how her father shamelessly treated her to ruin her reputation for the sake of his illegitimate daughter, Luke Huxley's blood seethed with anger. His words had given Rodel a hard slap in the face. While Rodel was

“I'm just curious, but who gave you the right to touch my things?"Sarry's face turned pale as she trembled under Dexie's distant gaze. She stammered, "Dexie... I'm your mother. It's just a room, and it's better than leaving it empty and wasting space. I thought you wouldn't mind."Her words implied that Dexie was being stingy and mean. Seeing Sarry's shameless behavior, Dexie laughed angrily. Since she didn't want to reason at all, "First, let's make this clear. My mother is the eldest daughter of the Hansley family. Second, although this is just a room, it's my room. If I'm willing to give it to you, then you can use it. If you use it without my permission, it is considered theft. Do you understand me?" Dexie said."You." Despite her soft smile, Dexie was furious, "Is stealing one of the main teachings of the Todd family?" Hearing the commotion, those downstairs headed to the second floor, where they heard Dexie's humiliating commen

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

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,
