All Chapters of Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

 “Mrs. Dawson and Luke Huxley, I didn't expect to meet you two here," he said, addressing Narda and Erin.    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.  

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

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

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

 “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
