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
As he gazed at her cold yet beautiful face, memories of the past flooded his mind. He realized that their relationship lacked any sweetness, only his unrequited love and her aloofness. Perhaps, if there was even a small memory he could cherish, he would reconsider his feelings.Recalling the moment he embraced Narda in the hallway, his lingering affection for Luke Huxley faded away."Luke Huxley, it's been over a year. I'm tired," she confessed, looking down with a sigh. It was unusual for her to engage in a normal conversation with him."I know I played a part in this marriage. If I had refused when Grandpa forced us to marry, we wouldn't be in this situation. I don't hold you responsible for the things that have happened between us."She continued.Her words were surprisingly calm and composed, a stark contrast to the times she had beli
Luke Huxley scoffed. Before Dexie could respond, he snatched her phone and dialed a number.As soon as the call was answered, he demanded in a firm voice, "Bring me the divorce agreement."The person on the other end of the call seemed taken aback. "Divorce agreement?""What part of my words do you not understand?"Luke Huxley's expression was grim, clarifying that defying him would lead to trouble.The other party quickly agreed, and Luke Huxley ended the call. Turning back to Dexie, "Are you happy now?" he asked.Unfazed by his actions, Dexie replied,"Yes, I am thrilled. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Dawson," nodding calmly.She gazed at his stoic face with bloodshot eyes, a mix of emotions swirling within her. Soon after, Warry arrived with th
