Gavin brought a very sumptuous meal. Dexie sat with everyone at the small coffee table outside to eat, and after eating, at Lily's insistence, she went back to bed to lie down. Dexie was propped up on the hospital bed with a soft goose feather quilt cushioning her back. She reached out to touch her stomach, which had swollen from overeating, and thought with some distress, if this continued, how much weight would she gain?Luke made specific arrangements for tonight's meal to be sour and spicy. He ate slowly and, after suppressing the urge to vomit inside, dry heaved twice before being okay, and then ate more than anyone else. It's just a month. What to do..."What's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Luke went out after washing his hands and asked Dexie. Dexie shook her head and said, "No, it seems like I've gained weight." After saying that, she rubbed her belly sadly.After hearing what Dexie said, Danny took off his shoes and crawled cautiously next to Dexie. He then pressed his face agai
The next part of the sentence was an ellipsis without text. But no matter who saw those words, they naturally understood the implicit message that followed. Their expressions turned unpleasant."Twenty million? It would be impossible for the Hansley family to gather that much money in an hour." Dexie wondered if Paloma had offended someone or if someone was attacking her, but when she saw the news, Dexie suddenly understood something. This kidnapping was probably targeted at her. This happened when the relationship with the Hansley family was softening, and the Hansley family couldn't get the money, so Dexie, or more precisely, Luke, had to get the money. What was the purpose of the other party? Twenty million wasn't really a big deal for the Huxley family, and even if something really happened to Paloma, Dexie might not care."Dexie, help Mom." Lily also reacted immediately and reached out to grab Dexie's hand. Fear and anxiety were on her face as tears ran down, and she said, "Mom k
Dexie briefly mentioned, "He had a minor injury. Have there been many classes at school lately? Noah, has the shipping issue been resolved?"The brothers skillfully changed the subject, and Jessebelle chimed in, "There weren't many classes. I took notes for you, but considering your grades, studying at home might be the best option to avoid the hassle of going to class."Dexie nodded and turned to Noah, who remarked, "Everything has been sorted out. I heard you came up with the idea."Dexie smiled modestly, "I just mentioned it casually. Luke and his team came up with the solution."Noah acknowledged, "The idea is great. Despite a few important families having reduced shipping business, they can still share profits and only need to oversee and verify, resulting in increased profits compared to before."Dexie responded, "That's good."Luke was not inclined to discuss these matters with her and simply mentioned that the issue had been resolved so she could relax.They conversed over lun
“It’s better to be punished by my father than to leave someone who is devoted to my mother, and you know how alienated she is from me. I don’t like this feeling much...” Zoey’s tone was flirtatious, but the words she spoke sent shivers down people’s spines.“Understood.” Weston replied without asking further questions, then turned and left Zoey’s room.After he left, Zoey’s face, however, gradually showed a trace of coldness and distance.Weston... it’s better that you remain so devoted forever, or else...In the following two days, Derrick ran back and forth between Paloma and Dexie’s protections. He even understood that it was Paloma’s fault and how important Dexie was.As for Lily, she ran to see Dexie early in the morning and brought a lot of homemade food.After discovering Dexie’s preferences, she cooked many appetizing things and the frequency of Dexie’s vomiting decreased. Her health was gradually recovering, and the bleeding was decreasing, so she should be able to leave the
When Victor’s verdict was delivered, Dexie and Luke were astonished. They wondered why Victor would say such a thing. He appeared very stern, and his anger was also tinged with indifference. Ava showed no expression of surprise, showing that she had probably already thought about it for a long time and was waiting for Dexie to return to specifically say this.But why would he say that? Dexie thought Victor might ignore or even dislike this child in her womb, but she never expected him to be so reluctant, so what did he exactly mean by this?After all, this was also Luke’s child, and his first child as well. Why would he say something like that so bluntly?Luke’s face fell, and he coldly asked Victor, “Do you know what you’re saying?”As he spoke, he helped Dexie to the sofa on the other side and had no intention of hiding it from her. Dexie sat down and saw that Luke’s expression was very unpleasant, just like Victor’s. Father and son faced off as if they were jungle kings, and the ai
Only then did Sherry intervene and quickly opened the two containers of food in front of her to take the food outside, while telling Dexie, "Miss Dexie, Mrs. Jensen was in a hurry to see you and asked me to prepare the cakes at the last minute. I was very busy, but luckily there were people in the kitchen to help, so try them they are all things you like to eat.""Of course, thank you, Mrs. Thompson." Dexie took a bite of a mango pudding, which was sweet and delicious.After taking a bite, Sherry looked at her with teary eyes and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"From the moment Dexie entered, her eyes had been on Dexie's face, and although Sherry was a bit more polite with her and looked at her enthusiastically, it wasn't as obvious, and she was obviously holding back, but Sabrina really seemed strange.Dexie didn't know what was going on."Everything you prepared is delicious, but... I can't eat too much of this sweet mango. The doctor said that if you eat too much mango during p
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
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
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.
