The chess pieces were made of jade, and the chessboard was carved from a fine white jade that was very smooth and pleasant. Danny was still young, so even though he wasintelligent, playing chess was still difficult. Dexie sat with him on the carpet nextto Luke and played chess. Danny was quiet and didn't talk much while playing. At first, he was unfamiliar with the game, but after tworounds, he could tie with Dexie, and after two more rounds, he gained a slight advantage, surprising Dexie and making her even more interested. Luke also got distracted while working, but his speed was much faster than usual as he remembered Dexie's "apology" gift. When he finished, he massaged his eyebrows and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw two people sitting cross-legged and barefoot on the carpet next to the chair playing chess attentively. This touching scene made Luke's heart feel a burst of sweetness. "Alright, it's late, so go to bed." Luke looked at the time and waited for the two to fi
The good thing about this place was the fast service. After waiting less than half an hour, the waiter invited Dexie in. There were three to four busy waiters in the restaurant and a person at the cash register. They were all young, with no elderly in sight. Dexie frowned and felt a bit disappointed.Dexie ordered a seafood pasta dish with two sides and slowly started eating. When she was halfway through her meal, a middle-aged lady, around fifty years old and well-dressed, entered the restaurant. Some of the restaurant staff greeted her.Dexie also looked up and saw the woman who entered was all smiling and friendly. She kindly greeted all the restaurant's customers and seemed very familiar with them.Dexie felt nervous and tried to find clues in the woman's face to see if there was any resemblance to her because, after all, the chances of this woman being her mother were now the highest.She was a new guest and looked at the woman unabashedly. She was so focused on evaluating the wo
After hesitating for a moment, Dexie took a deep breath and said to Sherry, “Mrs. Thompson, I saw your information at the hospital. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find you here. I know it may not be easy for you to tell me, and I understand if you have difficulties, but... this is very important to me. If it’s convenient for you to share more, please tell me, okay?”“There isn’t much to say. I do not know why there is a record of my birth 18 years ago, but you are mistaken. Please, just go back. I have nothing to say,” replied Sherry.After Sherry finished speaking, she stood up. There was no unusual expression on her normally kind face, and she even seemed angry as she turned around and walked away.Watching her leave, Dexie couldn’t help but sigh. This shouldn’t be the case. Sherry was hiding something. If she hadn’t gone there to give birth eighteen years ago, there wouldn’t have been such a record. But if she went there, why was she denying it now? What was she hiding? If
Dexie and Luke couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. "Didn't Danny and Amelia go to the Old Residence?" Dexie was reluctant to let Danny go there, especially after what happened last time when he fell in the mountains. She had been trying to find evidence but had found nothing. However, if Victor Huxley wanted to see his grandson, she couldn't stop him. If Ava were smart, she wouldn't have let anything happen to him when Danny went to the Old Residence. But how come Danny was home?After getting out of the car and asking the bodyguard to park it, Dexie impatiently asked, "What's going on? Where is Danny?" Amelia's eyes were shifty, but she dared not respond to Dexie. Instead, she said with some difficulty, "Madam, Danny is still waiting for you and Mr. Luke to return. He won't sleep, even though it's too late." As Dexie entered the house, she said, "Didn't he go to the Old Residence?" Amelia replied, "Danny went to dinner, and Mr. Huxley wanted h
Luke had a grim expression on his face as he furrowed his brow and contemplated for a moment before telling Dexie, "That day... it wasn't actually my people who found Danny. Didn't they send many bodyguards to look for him that night? The family used all they could, and even you went out to search for him."Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, then what?"Luke fell silent for a moment before sighing and telling Dexie, "At that moment, the first one to find Danny was a bodyguard brought from the old mansion."Dexie couldn't help but ask, "The bodyguard brought from the old mansion... is he one of yours?""Of course not." Luke's handsome face grew even darker as he pondered for a moment and said, "I have records and have investigated all the bodyguards from the old mansion. That bodyguard... is not my father's people, but Ava's. At that moment, I was too anxious and thought no matter how audacious she was, she wouldn't dare touch Danny, and if my father found out, he wouldn't forgive her.""But
Leonardo nodded and said, "Speed up! You'll be fired if you can't catch up.""Yes..."After the car moved away a bit, Dexie continued without finding a suitable car wash tunnel. A few minutes later, she was followed by a black Rolls-Royce. Frowning, she slowed down, and the car behind her also slowed down. She sped up, and the other car sped up too. She made a turn, and the other party followed suit. She turned onto the coastal road, then stopped, and surprisingly, the other party also stopped. She frowned. Was that prince chasing her? What... What did he want?That boy didn't seem like a ruthless person, so he wouldn't want her to have a car accident, right? He was still in the car, so how could he do such a thing? Dexie thought, he probably just wanted to follow her and scare her, right?With this in mind, Dexie took a deep breath, no longer hesitated and drove off.Although this was her second-hand car, it was repaired when she bought it, and Derrick found an acquaintance to make m
“Delicious food?” Danny froze, his eyes lighting up.He had autism and didn’t like to have contact with strangers. Even when he was eating food from outside, it was always delivered to him, and he had never really gone out to eat, so even Luke looked at Dexie with some surprise.Dexie nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I asked Jessebelle. She said Danny needs to be taken to public places more often by people he trusts, and he should take things slowly.”Luke thought about it. When the time came, he would send some more bodyguards, so he nodded and they both looked at Danny together.Danny seemed a little excited but still incredulous and said, “Can I?”“Of course, you can,” Dexie nodded.Danny nodded and smiled, “Yes! I want to go eat delicious food.”Luke and Dexie looked at each other. They rarely saw Danny so happy.After taking a shower, the three of them slept together that night. Danny had to squeeze in the middle, and under Luke’s disgusted gaze, he turned to Dexie and dropped asle
When Dexie finished speaking, she took a deep breath and looked at Sherry, then said, “Sherry, I will not hide from you. In fact, I used to be a maid. The information recorded is not mine, but my boss’s. I went to investigate. Over the years, with those two setbacks, maybe someone is specifically trying to destroy the information, but I don’t know if the other party left it intentionally or wanted to destroy this information.”When Dexie heard this, her expression turned grim.Sherry continued, “I’m not done yet. Don’t worry just yet. I really can’t have children and I don’t have any, so you can’t find out anything. But now I suspect you are the child born to my master and was exchanged with the dead baby of the Williams family.”Dexie’s expression was somber. Sherry’s words were really what she had in mind as well.Sherry fell silent for a while and told Dexie, “My boss had a distinguished identity. When she gave birth, it wasn’t convenient to keep a record of the file, so she used m
This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta
The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w
He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her
In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.
“Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”
“Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about... Quenti
As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi
Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an
Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
