2024-10-29 19:42:56Luke 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

In the end, the two went to the Civil Affairs Office and sat in front of a counter. The staff looked at the beautiful couple in front of them and felt sorry for them. "You guys," the staff member couldn't help but start."We have thought about it well, and this is the decision we have made," Dexie interrupted, sensing what the staff member meant.Bella felt there was no need to delay the divorce any longer.The staff member remained silent, shifting their gaze to the stiff-faced, silent man next to Dexie. The staff member felt this man seemed familiar but couldn't remember who he was."Have you two decided on a divorce?" Luke Huxley opened his mouth and said, "I-""Yeah," Dexie couldn't wait to speak, cutting off Luke Huxley's words.His somber gaze fell on her face, his eyes darkening.Then, she looked at the staff member with an unfriendl

As a result, people in his hometown believed that Rodel Domino, who had left town, had worked his way to becoming a multi-millionaire and could even afford private planes. Every year, when his family came to visit, the villagers praised and flattered them. This satisfied Mdm. Domino's vanity as a rural woman who did not think she could mix with the circle of rich ladies in the capital. Although the people in her hometown were still poor, she still wanted to go every Christmas. "Dexie, are you ready? It's time we got going," Rodel said as the servants collected the luggage and went downstairs. He noticed Dexie was still sitting on the couch, engrossed in her phone, so he reminded her of the time. Through the phone screen, he casually glanced at the well-dressed upstart in front of her. "Oh, I won't go this year." She knew these people didn't want her to accompany them at all. They were afraid that she would accidentally say something that would expose the fact that Rodel received m

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

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,
