Luke Huxley's heart ached for Dexie as she lamented her isolation and vulnerability, a result of her own father's betrayal. The more indifferent Dexie appeared, the deeper Luke Huxley felt the pain in his heart.
"As a grandmother, I will decide on the room arrangements. Give this room to Roxane, and I will have the servants prepare another one for you," Madam Domino continued.Dexie was not surprised by the behavior of the Domino family; therefore, it was not unusual for her to hear such statements."Just one room?" Everyone knew that Dexie's room was the best in the entire villa, with superior lighting and a scenic view outside the window."After you forcefully took over my room, do you still want to act as a mediator in front of me?" Luke Huxley asked rudely.Before Dexie could respond, someone intervened."This house belongs to Dexie. How can someone from the Domino family intervene in decisions?" Luke Huxley retorTonight, after being defeated countless times, Rodel finally felt calm.He continued to console himself, "Forget it. Let her be. I'll teach her a lesson someday."Roxane, who had been attacked all night, was forced to leave Dexie's room after being harassed by her. What else was Dexie planning to do?In the end, Roxane couldn't take it anymore, "Dexie, I'm thin and weak. Do you think I can sleep until your bed collapses? I have moved as you wish. Why do you have to make things worse? Aren't you going too far?"Dexie had planned to stop making trouble. However, since Roxane, an illegitimate daughter, she still wanted to create more trouble, so they couldn't blame her for being tough. She glanced sideways at the distressed Roxane and smiled, "First, this room belongs to you. You were the one who took charge while I was away. It is natural that you move now. Secondly..."She stopped deliberately and looked at Roxane, her
Luke Huxley was taken aback by Dexie's strong reaction, though he understood her feelings. Her response still left him feeling unsettled."Luke Huxley, are you kidding me?"Dexie exclaimed, her expression haughty as she clenched her fists.Luke Huxley was surprised by the coldness he felt emanating from her. He had been trying to suppress his fear of this moment, but it was resurfacing.Despite his unease, he maintained a hint of arrogance in his tone."I'm not kidding. It's just suddenly too troublesome for me to go through with the divorce. I'm fine with things as they are," he said, feeling a twinge of guilt for no apparent reason and avoiding her piercing gaze.Dexie sneered, "Really? Well, I'm not okay with that. Luke Huxley, why should I cooperate with you when you want a divorce? And now that you've changed your mind, am I supposed to just follow your whims?"Luke Huxley furrowed his brow at her question
She had been trying to get his attention for a year, and now she was telling him thatshe was leaving him?There was anger, confusion, but more panic and helplessness in his heart.He wanted to grab her hand, but she quickly distanced herself from him, walking towards the door, "Mr. Dawson, please leave. This is my house. Even if we are not divorced yet, I still hope you can keep some distance."Her words were powerful and merciless. "Because I hate you to the bones when I see you!!!""Hate"?The girl who looked at him with adoring eyes and blushed when he saw her now said she hated him?Luke Huxley left Dominos in a terrible mood.He took out his phone and called Simon, "Simon, come have a drink with me."They did not meet at the Woodlands Clubhouse, but at another high-end bar on top of the tallest building in the city.It was an open-air, light music bar, where the scenery was extremely beautiful.Many people enjoyed coming h
Salomon was taken aback by Luke Huxley's words. He then recalled that after Narda's father, Nathaniel Tisdon, lost the fight for his family's assets, Narda sought help from Luke Huxley. However, he refused to assist them, leading totheir breakup. Salomon believed that Luke Huxley may not have truly loved her. Nevertheless, he was surprised by the hurtful words and indifference displayed by Luke towards Narda. Narda, too, was taken aback by Luke's cold behavior and apparent desire to distance himself from her. She wondered if he harbored such strong animosity towards her. With tears in her eyes, she asked Luke if he still held a grudge for their past breakup. She tried to explain that her actions were impulsive and not intentional, but Luke's impatient and cold demeanor cut her off. He dismissed her concerns, stating that she was overthinking the situation. His indifferent gaze and cold attitude made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with her, leaving Narda struggli
Narda glared down with resentment in her eyes. Dexie followed the waiter to the table Marilyn had reserved, but she hadn't arrived yet."Here is your table, Miss Hansley," the waiter said."Okay," Dexie replied.After the waiter left, she received a call from Marilyn."Dexie, have you arrived? There's a traffic jam on the road. I'll be there a few minutes later.""Well, I'm not in a hurry. Take your time," Dexie reassured her.As she hung up the phone, she looked up and noticed Luke Huxley's table from where she was sitting. Even though there was a distance between their tables, she could see them clearly. Narda was holding a bottle of beer and sitting next to Luke Huxley, chatting with him with a smile. Solomon blocked Dexie's line of sight, preventing her from seeing Luke Huxley's expression clearly.However, she could sense that her girlfriend, whom she had waited for three years, had returned to him.
Simon was left speechless by Sam's question. He gave him a meaningful look but didn't respond. Narda's expression became even more unpleasant than before, indicating her displeasure. Simon could see that Dexie had influenced Luke Huxley's behavior, which was becoming increasingly obvious to him.Narda had never witnessed Luke Huxley so upset before. Dexie showed concern, triggering a sense of crisis in Narda, causing her to clench her fists involuntarily. The veins on the back of her hand bulged, reflecting her intense anger. Simon, observing her closely, frowned and decided to distance himself from her, using an excuse to leave the situation. He suggested that the others continue drinking while he checked on Luke Huxley. Despite his dislike for Narda, he felt it would be too embarrassing to continue embarrassing her. As expected, Dexie had a strong impact on Luke Huxley, occupying his thoughts since they first met at the bar. Luke was so preoccupied with Dexie that he didn't e
The last sentence struck Luke Huxley's heart like a heavy hammer, catching him off guard and leaving him feeling more confused. If he treated Marilyn the same way he treated Dexie, she would divorce him in less than a day. Dexie had done a remarkable job of putting up with him for a year. Her words were sincere, but Luke Huxley didn't realize how powerful they were to him.He used to have delusional ideas that Dexie was playing rough with him in the last days, thinking she liked him so much and was pretending to be cold towards him. No one would tell him the truth that she was leaving him, just like Simon did. She was leaving him because she had given up on him.He had treated her coldly, which made her desperate. Emotional abuse is still abuse. Don't think you haven't hurt her.As Luke Huxley fell into silence, Simon delivered another hard blow. Not caring how her words might make Luke Huxley feel, he let him contemplate her words. Luke Huxley stood still
Narda could sense the tension and realized she needed to step back. Offending her future sister-in-law was not an option. She needed to earn Marilyn's trust to secure her support for her marriage to Marilyn's brother in the future.Marilyn seemed indifferent to Narda's inner thoughts. Upon hearing Narda's words, Marilyn simply smiled and replied, "Really? Then you must be too busy to think about me." Narda was at a loss for words and concealed her disappointment.She couldn't help but feel that Dexie had influenced Marilyn. Narda had observed Dexie engaging in a lengthy conversation with Marilyn earlier, leading her to suspect that Dexie had manipulated the situation to her advantage. The more Narda dwelled on it, the more convinced she became that Dexie had spoken ill of her to Marilyn. Her animosity towards Dexie intensified.Narda was certain that Dexie must have said something to Marilyn, as evidenced by Marilyn's immediate hostility toward
