Dexie laughed a little uncomfortable as she thought about how not only did she misunderstand,. When she saw the clothes in her room, she felt like they belonged to Danny’s biological mother and it hurt her heart. She hadn’t even worn those clothes yet.
As her imagination ran wild, Luke reached out and grabbed her. With a slight force, he pulled her towards him. She lost her balance and fell onto Luke’s leg.
“What? Were you jealous of that?” Luke squeezed her chin and asked with a smile on his face.
Dexie whiffled her head. She blushed profusely and stuttered as she said, “I, I wouldn’t get jealous over something so trivial. I’m not that boring!”
“Really?” Luke arched his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.

Luke didnโt respond to Dexie, but he looked at her with a serious expression in his eyes.โMissing in action,โ he said.โWhatโs wrong?โ she asked.โHave you ever thought about how much dowry you will get after marrying me?โ Luke asked seriously.โDowry?โ Dexie froze, staring at Luke in shock.Luke nodded and continued, โSince you donโt like the Jones family, why do you have to try? It would be more beneficial to use the dowry I gave you to establish your own company in an industry you enjoy and are familiar with. Wouldnโt it feel beneficial to be your own boss?โDexie was even more surprised when she heard this. โBut... Luke, if you give me the dowry, I will also have to do it.โLuke nodded slowly and said, โSince you donโt like the people from the Jones family, wouldnโt it be nicer to be your own boss? Being the owner of the continentโs largest restaurant chain would make the Huxley family rich.โโWhatโs the rush? We can get married after you graduate. The Huxley family considers thi

โJessebelle, why? Is it so serious?" Dexie was surprised and couldnโt help lowering her voice.โYes, itโs severe,โ Jessebelle said solemnly.โDexie, this is important. Although we have been friends for many years, I must warn you that this concerns the lives of many people.โDexie nodded and told Jessebelle, โWait a moment; I will close the door of the room.โWith that, she closed the door and shut the window. Then, she sat on the sofa and whispered into the phone, โJessebelle, donโt worry. I wonโt tell anyone, not even Luke or my parents, so you can calmly tell me.โโOkay.โ Jessebelle took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before telling Dexie, โDexie, the Claire family is connected to Dannyโs biological mother.โโWhat?โ Dexie was even more surprised and said, โDannyโs biological mother?โโWell, this matter is complicated and related to a family secret, so I canโt tell you too much, but the death of Dannyโs biological mother almost certainly has something to do with Luke.

Dexie was even more surprised and said, โBoth of them ran away?โAlthough it was the 21st century, people had the freedom to pursue their love and marriage: political marriages had never ceased to exist. Family background was more important than anything else. Wealthy families had instilled this value in their children from an early age, and they understood the dire consequences of deviating, which prevented them from fleeing hastily.Running away meant giving up the right to inheritance. Who would break ties with their immensely rich family for the sake of whimsical love? Because he was powerful enough, Luke could afford to go against the Huxley family.The idea of Lukeโs determination and perseverance filled Dexie with pain. On the other end of the phone, Jessebelle continued and said, โThey ran away and disappeared from everyoneโs sight for two full years. Only two years later, I found Lukeโs older brother and my cousin.โDexie was surprised when she heard this. After a long time,

Dexie was shocked and asked Jessebelle on the phone with shock.โDo you want me to help you investigate this matter?โJessebelle nodded, and her tone became increasingly solemn as she said, โYes, Dexie, this is not just for me but also for you.โDexie couldnโt help but ask, โJessebelle, do you want me to find out the truth?โโDexie, this is very dangerous, but Luke has sincere feelings for you now, so all you have to do is pay more attention. If you can find any clues, that would be best; if you canโt find any, donโt risk it. If Luke goes downhill, no one can afford to resist his anger!โJessebelleโs tone was solemn, and when she said this, she sounded scared and apprehensive. โDexie, this matter is very dangerous. Donโt be hasty and let nature take its course. Itโs just that you are in the Greco familyโs house now; Luke trusts you, and Danny likes you so much, so itโs easier for you to investigate the truth than for me.โDexie remained silent.

"Ah, Luke, no, I can do it myself." Dexie hurriedly turned off the water, but by the time she did, Luke had already made the call."Hello, is this the principal?" Holding his phone, he spoke as he walked away. It seemed like the other person had already answered the call."Oh, so the situation is like this... I wonder if there is a first-year student named Dexie Hansley in your school. Yes, yes, it's her."Luke winked at Dexie, then sat at the dining table and said solemnly, "Oh, nothing, she... She's my wife, um, yes, she's married; she is."Dexie looked at Luke in surprise and wondered how he could reveal such things so easily.This made her think of what Jessebelle had told her. He didn't seem concerned at all about his affairs being known. Instead, it seemed like he wanted as many people as possible to know.He looked at Dexie and saw Dexie's anxious expression. He shook his head slightly, as if to express that it didn't matter.Feeling a little helpless, Dexie frowned, but she co

Dexie regained her senses and said quickly, โIโll be out soon.โ Jessebelle lowered her voice and whispered, โHurry. Iโll wait for you.โAfter Dexie hung up the phone, Gavin said, โMaโam, let me explain how to drive it. Five minutes will be enough. It wonโt take much of your time.โDexie asked, โGavin, is this... Did Luke buy this for me?โGavin, who had overheard Lukeโs words, chuckled and replied, โWhat do you think, maโam?โโI see,โ she said, feeling touched. He always took her words seriously, even her casual remarks.โMaโam, Mr. Huxley has never cared so much about any woman. You are the only one he truly cares for. Mr. Huxley loves you, but he struggles to express it, so please be understanding. He may appear cold on the surface, but he genuinely likes you,โ Gavin said earnestly in defense of Luke.Luke was so emotionally disoriented that Gavin couldnโt help but want to help him. Although he had never had a girlfriend, he had seen many romantic dramas!โGavin, please call me by m

Jessebelle looked around cautiously and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she said solemnly, โDexie, I found out from my grandmother today that my cousin left a box.โWith a perplexed expression, Dexie furrowed her brow and asked, โA box?โโYes,โ Jessebelle approached Dexie with an increasingly serious expression and said in a low voice, โIf we find the box, we can uncover the truth.โโHow did Mrs. Claire find out?โ Dexie asked.Jessebelle lowered her voice and said, โWhen my cousin and Lukeโs older brother had just returned, she left the box and told my grandmother.โDexie couldnโt help but ask, โWhere is that box right now?โโThe box is still at the Huxley familyโs house.โ Looking at Dexie, Jessebelleโs expression was very solemn as she said, โItโs at Barrington Manor of the Huxley family.โโBarrington Manor?โ Remembering something, Dexie furrowed her brow slightly.She had once gone to the Huxley family to deliver wine, and it was with Luke at Barrington Ma

Dexieโs family looked back. It was indeed Bleanor. Dario and Jocelyn followed her. They probably also came out today to buy New Yearโs gifts. They were dressed in glamorous designer clothes. Compared to Dario and Jocelyn, Dexieโs parents, Howard and Tara, looked very shabby.Dexie felt uncomfortable. She frowned as she looked at Dario and Jocelyn and said, โDad, Mom.โNo matter what, they had raised her for so many years. Howard and Jocelyn seemed to have guessed their identities and awkwardly greeted them. They didnโt know what to do.Eric was no longer smiling at this moment. He stood to the side coldly looking at Paloma.Paloma timidly shouted, โDad, Mom, brother.โThe two elders nodded, but Eric seemed cold and very unhappy.โDexie, I havenโt seen you in a long time. My parents missed you a lot. What happened last time... was my fault. Now that things have been resolved, how about we reconcile?โ He pulled Dexie affectionately.Dexie pushed Palomaโs hand away and said, โReally? Yo

This matter was troublesome.โAre they in the restaurant right now?โ Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.โYes, they are in the restaurant,โ Eric quickly said, โIf this matter is not resolved, Iโm afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.โโI know. Keep them occupied, and Iโll come soon.โDexie 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 not be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, their only option was to proceed cautiously and attempt to delay the process. 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 arr

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?

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, Williamโs 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, โMiss Hansley, youโre not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?โUpon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, โYou probably havenโt 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. Wouldnโt that be counterproductive? Youโre joking, but that joke isnโt funny.โAfter 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, โAlright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.

โDexie, whatโs the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?โEric was confused and said, โThere are already several units in the store.โโThatโs not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they donโt take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. Thereโs 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,โ Dexie told Eric.โDexie, what do you want to do?โ 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.Dexieโs voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, โEric, I have already thought of a solution, so donโt be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.โโHave you already figured out what to do?โ

โDid you just find out?โ Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, โYes, I just found out, so Iโm telling you.โDexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, โWith 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.โโAlthough my father doesnโt agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldnโt be so bad.โ Lukeโs tone of voice cooled.โSo when are you going to tell your father?โ Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, โNot 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.โSo thatโs how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, โWhat about...

As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldnโt be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexieโs mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, โYou can say it now, right?โLuke said with a serious face, โI feel like there wasnโt enough sincerity.โ Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, โYouโre playing with me.โLuke laughed and said, โLetting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?โDexie was defenseless and said, โSo, what do you want?โLuke calmly said, โJust a kiss on the lips.โUpon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, โLuke, you, you... rascal...โHowever, Luke acted pitifully as he said, โGod, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Donโt you think Iโm pitiful?โWhen he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgiv

Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrinaโs eyes, and couldnโt help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, โI never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.โSabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, โDexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you canโt reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so Iโm afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.โDexie smiled and said, โThereโs nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. Iโm thrilled, and I wonโt tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and donโt expose yourself.โAfter Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrinaโs tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, โDo you mind if I use this to fix momโs makeup?โ Sabrina quickly took Dexieโs hand and said, โSilly girl, why would mom mind?โDexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrinaโs tear marks, before smiling and

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 of
