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

    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

    This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta

    The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w

    He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her

    In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.

    “Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”

    “Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about...

    As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi

    Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an

    Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
