Erin exchanged a look with Narda before asking,"Grandma asked Luke Huxley to go shopping with her today. I just went along to have fun. What about you? Why are you alone?"
Narda sighed deeply and replied, "My parents have a date, and as for my uncle..." She hesitated, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "You know it too. Our families are not on good terms, and my cousins dislike spending time with me."
As Narda spoke, she cast small glances at Luke Huxley, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness. She had a way with words, easily portraying herself as sad and lonely, subtly hinting at the strained relationship with her family.

“Is there any reason to blame me?" Dexie sighed deeply. Seeing this, Erin thought Dexie was about to apologize."I believe I may have treated you so well in the past that you cannot understand your position."Dexie said. Dexie reached out her hand, pinched Erin's finger, and moved it away from her face."I dislike people pointing fingers at me. I am always ready to teach a lesson to those who are as rude as you. Would you like me to continue?" Dexie spoke in an indifferent tone. Erin's face turned pale upon hearing Dexie's words, feeling the pain in her finger. Dexie pinched Erin's index finger, causing Erin to feel as though her finger bone was about to break, even though Dexie did not seem to exert much force. "Dexie, release her now. How dare you do that to me? I will inform Luke Huxley," Erin exclaimed. "Will you tell Luke Huxley?" Dexie raised her eyebrows slightly. Erin thought Dexie must be afraid. Ignoring the pain, Erin repeated, "Dexie, I will tell Luke Huxley that you

Old Mrs. Dawson sensed a hint of disdain in Narda's tone towards the other girls. Her eyelids fluttered slightly as she spoke up."Everyone naturally finds themselves drawn to attractive individuals. It's natural for a guy to ask for a lovely girl's phone number. Why do you think they aren't reserved? What's wrong with a girl acting that way?"Narda glanced at old Mrs. Dawson, who responded in a gentle tone with no offense. Although Narda felt uneasy, she hesitated to express her displeasure in front of the older adults."Grandma, that's not what I meant. I'm concerned that the girl might feel embarrassed if Luke Huxley approaches her," Narda explained. "You know Luke's temperament..."With a helpless look, Narda turned to Luke Huxley and shrugged her shoulders.She implied she was Luke Huxley's girlfriend, and he would only have eyes for her, ignoring the friendly advances of other girls.Old Mrs. Dawson continued to smile affectionately. She said nothing, but silently agreed with Nar

Upon hearing Old Mrs. Dawson's words, Luke Huxley's expression worsened. Without hesitation, he stood up and headed towards the bathroom, quickening his pace. Seeing this, Old Mrs. Dawson sighed heavily, thinking to herself that her grandson might not be as incurable as she had previously thought. Despite Luke Huxley's rudeness towards other girls, he still cared for his ex-wife, Dexie. However, was it too late to worry about Dexie at that moment? Luke Huxley was determined not to let Erin cause trouble for Dexie. As he approached the bathroom door, he overheard Dexie's relative speaking to Erin. "Erin, can you stop behaving so foolishly? No one takes Luke Huxley seriously. In my eyes, he's just a piece of garbage. I regret marrying him once and won't make the same mistake again. I've already been through enough. I won't repeat the same mistake. I'm not a fly that always hovers around garbage." Luke Huxley was left speechless at Dexie's comparison of him to garbage. Erin, shocked

After a few steps, Dexie turned to look at Luke Huxley and was a little surprised to see that he was staring at her. However, she did not want to understand why he had that reaction. "Please tell your cousin that we are now divorced and that I no longer have any interest in you," she said."Tell her to stop spouting nonsense in front of me. I used to put up with her for a time, not because she is a good person. I'm not. In fact, I have a terrible character. I will not put up with her attitude anymore. If you still insist on doing the same things, don't blame me for not holding back just because we had a past." Dexie was ready to leave after that, but she heard a scoff from the man, and she stopped. "A past? Did you really love me?" Luke Huxley paused and approached the lady, resting his eyes on her face showing no emotions. "Seeing you accepting the divorce without thinking twice made me wonder if you really think we had a past or not." Dexie could hear hints of bitterness and u

Shortly after Dexie and Roy arrived at the restaurant and were seated at their table, they noticed the waiter escorting old Mrs. Dawson, Erin, and Narda towards them. Narda was walking in Dexie's direction.Despite Dexie's unhappy marriage to Luke Huxley, she held no ill feelings towards old Mrs. Dawson, who had not wronged her. Dexie, a member of the younger generation, stood up and politely greeted old Mrs. Dawson."Mrs. Dawson, Dexie, it's been a while since we last met," Dexie said."It has been. How are you?" Mrs. Dawson replied."Doing well," Dexie answered."It's a relief to hear," Mrs. Dawson said.The conversation fell into an awkward silence, and both women felt uncomfortable. Before Mrs. Dawson could leave, Erin interjected with a mocking remark."Dexie, everything's your fault. Luke Huxley wouldn't have left if you weren't here!"Her anger from the earlier confrontation with Dexie in the bathroom fuelled Erin's words.She was confident that Dexie wouldn't retaliate in front

However, old Mrs. Dawson had completely lost her appetite and was ready to go."I'm sorry I bothered you."She even apologized to Dexie before she left. "Don't worry, Mrs. Dawson."Narda had no choice but to go with old Mrs. Dawson. She would rather be with the older woman than with Erin.. Naturally, she was pleased that Erin hated Dexie, but Luke Huxley's cousin was too dumb to realize that there would be times when she would have to keep her hatred to herself. Aside from that, Narda was also surprised to hear old Mrs. Dawson bring Erin's grandmother into the picture. She harbored a deep-seated hatred for her husband's second spouse's family. The only reason nothing big had happened between the two wives was that old Mrs. Dawson didn't think it was worth arguing with her second wife. Narda was also worried that since old Mrs. Dawson had shown clear disdain towards the second wife, she might hate her too for being Erin's friend. Her heart couldn't help but sink when she thought of

Dexie detested the idea of eating her food next to the shameless man, fearing it would affect her appetite."Dexie, what are your plans from now on?" After a brief pause, Old Mrs. Dawson abruptly inquired.Many people had asked her the same question, and Dexie had no intention of hiding it from the public."I just secured a teaching job. I'm going to work after the vacation.""A teacher, huh? That's good. I'm sure the kids will love you," Old Mrs. Dawson nodded. However, she assumed Dexie was going to be a preschool teacher, which made sense since Dexie had recently graduated from high school.Dexie was unaware that Old Mrs. Dawson had misunderstood her actual job, as it didn't seem odd for someone as old as her to refer to university students as children.Luke Huxley was surprised that Dexie

“Mr. Dawson, do you need anything?""No, nothing," Dexie replied, feeling speechless."Then why would you call me at this hour? Don't you know I was about to get to the excellent part?" She scolded herself silently."Well, if you need anything, then I'll hang up now," Luke Huxley said.Dexie, surprised by his response, mentioned she was reading a novel.Luke Huxley was shocked to discover that she valued reading a novel over talking to him. He felt a pang of hurt at her apparent indifference."I have something to tell you. Can you give me some time?"Luke Huxley inquired, seeking a reason to carry on the conversation.Dexie couldn't understand why Luke Huxley, who had never wanted to talk to her during their marriage, was suddenly reaching out after their divorce.&nbs

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.

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,
