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
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
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
“However, Mrs. Huxley spread these rumors,” Gavin said in a low voice as he approached Dexie.“Mrs. Huxley? Ava?” Dexie was surprised.Gavin nodded quickly and whispered, “Yes, it was her. The two brothers had an excellent relationship, and she is their stepmother. Although Mr. Victor Huxley adores her, she still doesn’t have any status in the Huxley family.” Her biological son worked in the Huxley family but didn’t hold a prominent position, so he wanted to an advantage of that opportunity.Upon hearing this, she realized it.As she listened to Gavin’s words, Dexie felt guilt and reproach in her heart, but...“Setting aside everything else... how do you explain this picture? Gavin, don’t lie to me about Luke.” Dexie looked at the photo again. Luke looked at Serena with such an affectionate expression and smiled so warmly. It didn’t seem like he had feelings for her.Gavin scratched his head and said, “Mrs. Huxley, how could I lie to you about such a thing? Mr. Huxley liked no woman.
Dexie looked at Gavin gratefully and said, “Gavin, this time... if I can reconcile with Luke, it will all be thanks to you.”Gavin was surprised, but then he laughed and scratched his head when she said, “Mrs. Huxley, have you thought of a way to persuade Mr. Huxley?”He seemed serene on the surface, but he was filled with joy inside. God knows how much he wanted the two of them to reconcile.Dexie nodded slightly and told Gavin, “Don’t tell him I know the truth and pretend that I know nothing. I will leave tomorrow. After I come back... I will apologize to him.”“Well, alright.” Gavin was already wondering how Dexie would apologize.Dexie went to the room where she had slept before, took a shower, and then lay down on the quilt. The more she thought about it, the more remorse she felt. Luke had been wonderful to her, but what about her? She was overwhelmed with guilt towards Luke! She didn’t trust Luke, but he was still willing to help her. Dexie sighed and told herself that from now
The woman said to Dexie, “Really? Miss Hansley... can you give me your phone number?”Seeing Dexie’s surprised expression, she laughed and said, “I think we have excellent chemistry. I have no other purpose.”Dexie smiled and said, “I didn’t mean to doubt you. Mrs. Jensen, this is my number.” As she spoke, her fingers quickly typed a series of numbers on the keyboard.Mrs. Jensen nodded, took her phone from her purse, entered Dexie’s phone number, then dialed it and said, “This is my number.”Dexie nodded and said, “Alright, Mrs. Jensen, I’ll leave first. I hope you stay healthy. I hope we can see each other again some other day.”The woman nodded and looked at Dexie with a joyful expression in her eyes as she said, “Alright, goodbye.”Dexie waved goodbye, and Mrs. Jensen also waved back. Her eyes remained fixed on Dexie after she had walked a distance.Much later, after Dexie had left, a bald man in a black suit appeared behind the woman. He had a stout figure and was around thirty y
