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
“Yes, I did. I will note what you said. Mr. Dawson, if there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone." However, this time, before Luke Huxley could say anything, Dexie quickly hung up on him."The Hansley Corporation, huh?" she thought.Dexie had intended to let Rodel have the Hansley Corporation because he could always create another company. As for Rodel...She would claim everything she had gained by exploiting the Hansley family. She'd make it clear, with certainty, that she'd be nothing without the Hansley family.Didn't she want to pursue her true love?Didn't he feel humiliated for being a son-in-law?His actions were irreversible, so she had to accept them.Dexie put her phone aside. Her eyes were devoid of heat, and she had an impassive look on her face.Luke Huxley's expression instantly darkened when he heard the high-pitched ringing sound.The damn woman didn't take her words seriously. Could she discern that her father was an ungrateful and ruthless bastard?Since Dexie
Dexie gave Rodel a mock-painted look, as if it were the first time she had heard those scandalous words. However, Sarry did not want to give Dexie the opportunity to speak. Sarry immediately continued, “Isn’t it true? Your father is a man who kisses others. Isn’t that embarrassing enough for you?”At this moment, even Dexie wanted to give a thumbs up and congratulate Sarry on her satisfactory performance.“Shut your mouth!” Rodel roared fiercely. Sarry shuddered in shock and took two steps back, not daring to speak more. Rodel could no longer stand Sarry or her personal attacks. Why did she have to keep bringing up the topic he most wanted to avoid?“So... all this time, you’ve thought of your time as a son-in-law as an embarrassing past?” Dexie’s face hardened as she looked at Rodel mockingly. Rodel felt even guiltier once Dexie’s piercing gaze met his.“If you really considered it shameful, why did you marry my mother? Did Grandpa put a gun to your head and force you to do it? Or wer
Dexie didn't even take her father seriously, let alone the few others present."Dexie, you are too much!"Marcus couldn't help but point his finger at Dexie and roar.He absolutely hated this devil. He yearned for her immediate death, allowing him the chance to make a meaningful contribution by donating her heart to his sister.Dexie looked at him and noticed the malicious intent on his face. She then smiled and fixed her gaze on Marcus's finger pointing at her."Don't you want your finger anymore?" she asked.She spoke in a monotone voice, which seemed to intimidate Marcus. He retracted his hand immediately, trembling, his eyes still shining with anger.After that, Dexie crushed the finished snack pack into a ball and headed to the trash can before getting up from the couch.
