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
At that moment, the black Maybach slowly pulled out of the hospital. Warry, who was driving, was the first to spot Dexie's trembling figure. Subconsciously, he pressed the brake and slowed down.He then turned to Luke Huxley, who was in the back seat, "Mr. Dawson, that's Mrs. Dawson over there. Should we... pick her up?"Luke Huxley, with deep and unfathomable eyes, glanced through the windshield at the frail woman on the side of the road. After a moment of hesitation, he decisively responded, "No!""You're so cold towards her. Maybe that's why she divorced you. It's probably best for her to stay away from you."Warry thought to himself."She seems fine then," he replied.Although he agreed verbally, he maintained a slow speed as they approached Dexie. However, he did not hear Luke Huxley instruct him to stop."Why do you have to hold on to your pride?" he thought, inwa
“Mr. Dawson, why are you here?"Roy looked at Luke Huxley and raised an eyebrow. He handed the umbrella to Dexie and asked her to hold it. Then he took off his pink suit and draped it over her, right in front of Luke Huxley.It was unclear if Dexie did it intentionally to provoke him. She thought to herself, "Oh, it's freezing here! Couldn't this have waited until I got in the car?"At that moment, Luke Huxley's expression worsened as he saw Dexie not objecting to what Roy was doing for her."We haven't even gone through the formalities, and now you can't even wait to meet this man?"His jaw clenched with anger, and he spoke without thinking.This made Warry feel sorry for him, thinking, "Oh, God, do you think you can win back your wife's heart with just this? Maybe you should give up and stay sing
Dexie gave Roy a sidelong glance and finished the soup in her bowl. She then got up and approached him. "Good. Undress then."Roy didn't dare to do it, thinking, "She was just joking. No need to take it seriously."In the end, the two chatted and laughed for a while. When he saw that she was not affected by her divorce, he felt completely relieved and left her apartment.After he left, she cleaned the dishes and returned to the bedroom. She didn't think about her divorce until she finished her bath.Luke Huxley finally signed the divorce agreement, which meant that her past trauma would no longer be repeated, but she still felt a little lost in her heart.That was probably because she was used to waiting and expecting Luke Huxley in both lives. Now that she no longer had him by her side, she couldn't adjust immediately.Maybe things would be okay after a wh
