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
It belonged to Jessebelle.She opened the message and read it. Jessebelle’s message said, “Dexie, did you fight with my brother?”Upon seeing this, Dexie remembered she had spoken harshly and fought with Noah when he called last night However, now was not the time to explain to Jessebelle.Dexie placed her phone in her bag and trailed Mr. Campbell to the file storage room.In the spacious room, there were countless shelves. Glass doors divided each shelf into several compartments. We placed folders between the glass doors, some of which had turned yellow.“Each shelf had seven levels. Mr. Campbell informed Dexie that the folders were well organized, with each folder prominently labeled with the date and location. Just search for them according to your birthdate or address, but since you were adopted, let’s search by your birthday.”Dexie nodded. Campbell thought for a moment and said, “You should search the top shelf and the two bottom shelves. This requires flexibility and physical s
After Mr. Campbell said this, Dexie was also surprised. She felt uneasy and asked Mr. Campbell, who was puzzled, “What do you mean by...?”Mr. Campbell shook his head and said, “Maybe I’m just overthinking things, Dexie. Maybe God wants to help you reunite with your family. Despite the loss of many items in the fire that year, the document you seek remains intact.”With that, Mr. Campbell took the document from Dexie and reread it, then said, “No problem. Although the writing has become blurry, I should still be able to read it.”After he finished speaking, he handed it back to Dexie and said, “Look to see if there are any issues.”Dexie took it from Mr. Campbell and examined it carefully again. She thought it seemed like...Dexie said, “The last digit of the phone number looks strange.”Mr. Campbell looked and said, “It looks like a 3 or an 8. It could be a 5.”He hesitated for a moment, then told Dexie, “Take a picture of all the information. This document cannot be removed. As for
Dexie said, “Mom will be back soon. Go take a nap now. When you wake up, mom will be home, okay?”Danny laughed and promised Dexie he would obediently go to bed. After hanging up the call with Danny, Jessebelle’s call came in.Jessebelle asked, “Dexie, where are you?”“I went to gather information today. Jessebelle, I might have found my biological mother.” Dexie was eager to share the news with her best friend.Jessebelle was surprised to hear this and said, “Really? That’s great, Dexie. Your life has been so tumultuous, but now you can finally meet your biological parents.”Dexie said, “I actually want to know what happened back then. I don’t know if I’m just paranoid, but I still feel like my experience is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The incident involving the burst water pipes and the fire in the treatment room a few years ago struck me as highly suspicious.”Jessebelle said, “Dexie, can you meet me and my brother?”Dexie replied, “Right now? I have to go back to the
Dexie laughed, saying, “I almost believed what you said.”Jessebelle suppressed her laughter and tried to look serious as she said, “Maybe... you could even search among the Huxley family.”Jessebelle continued, “Perhaps you could be Mr. Huxley’s illegitimate daughter and Luke’s lost sister... how ironic it would be if the lovers turned out to be siblings.”Noah couldn’t help but ask, “Jessebelle, why are you so repugnant?” Noah couldn’t bear to hear more. Dexie, who was in the middle of drinking her coffee, almost spat it out, but then she swallowed hard and almost choked.Noah quickly handed her a glass of water and a napkin. He looked at Jessebelle and said, “Dexie searching for her parents is a serious matter, how can you make it sound so... scandalous?”Jessebelle chuckled twice and looked at Dexie with some concern when she said, “Dexie, are you okay? I was just kidding, don’t choke.”Dexie finally stopped coughing and took a few sips of water. She immediately looked at Jessebel
