she 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 hRelated chapters

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

“Where are you taking my wife?" Roy asked, his concern for Dexie's health evident. As he held her arms, he could feel the heat of her body searing through the layers of clothing."You're already divorced. I don't think Mr. Dawson needs to worry about where I'll take her," Roy replied as he lifted Dexie and left the hall.Luke Huxley was not about to let Roy take Dexie without a fight. He was already incensed when he saw Roy carrying Dexie in his arms as they exited the elevator.From his perspective, they appeared to be embracing intimately like lovers.Luke Huxley couldn't stand for such behavior. He confronted Roy as he carried Dexie, his anger clouding his judgment."Divorce?"Luke scoffed. "What's the rush? I haven't even signed the papers. Are you so eager to be the third wheel?" Roy had always known that Luke didn't pay much attention to Dexie during their marriage. Despite his cold and violent demea

Luke Huxley suddenly panicked, fearing that Dexie might misunderstand the situation if she saw him standing next to Narda. Without saying a word, he hurriedly approached Dexie."Dexie!" he called out.Narda, who had used the excuse of wanting to visit Dexie, saw her as well. Her real intention was for Dexie to see her with Luke Huxley, hoping to push Dexie away since Luke was not willing to file for divorce. She grabbed Luke Huxley's hand and looked at him with a serious expression, pleading, "Luke Huxley, I know she was wrong before. I'm sorry. I'm not asking to be together again, but I hope we can still be friends. Please stop being so cold to me."Narda continued, trying to gain sympathy, "I'm worried about Dexie's condition, so I came to check on her. I don't want to cause trouble for you. If you don't want me here, I'll leave.“But can you please stop being biased against me?"Luke Huxley was only with Narda because s

After a few seconds of silence, she tried to calm down. "Did you see what happened just now?"He didn't expect Luke Huxley to bring it up so blatantly. Was she trying to hint at a divorce?"Is something wrong with him?" She thought.He had been stuck for a while, and she refused to get a divorce, yet she gave him the impression that she was hinting about it through her brazen actions in front of him.It was the reason Dexie could think like that with the way Luke Huxley confirmed if he had seen them.After cursing under her breath, "Yes, I saw it. So?" she replied.Even though he had hoped she would see him, Luke Huxley was still quite an

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
