Semua Bab Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me: Bab 21 - Bab 30

“Why are you so quiet now? Are you finally realizing that your little tricks won't work on me?" Luke taunted, not realizing the depth of Dexie's emotions. Dexie's heart sank as she realized that Luke's perception of her was so shallow. She had been nothing more than a source of amusement for him during their marriage. The memory of his indifference after her accident in her previous life stung her deeply. Feeling a mix of hurt and anger, Dexie mustered the courage to speak up. "Luke, you may see me as a joke, but I am more than that. I deserve respect and love, not just your amusement." Luke's expression shifted as he registered the pain in Dexie's eyes. For the first time, he saw beyond her playful facade and realized the depth of her feelings. Guilt washed over him as he realized how he had neglected her emotional needs. As Dexie's words lingered in the air, a new understanding dawned on Luke. He had underestimated her all this time, but now he was determined to make amends and

“No..." When Luke Huxley was about to say "no need," he suddenly changed his mind and said in a deep voice, "It's up to you." After that, he hung up the phone. His face darkened even more. "Dexie Hansley, how dare you act however you want?" Luke Huxley spoke angrily."Why did you bring that ungrateful woman home last night? Why did she call Winswood Home to ask him about her injury?" Watching her distance herself from him, Luke Huxley realized he didn't even care about whether he cared about her. After a while, he still felt angry. He was angrier than when his grandfather forced him to marry Dexie. At this moment, Luke Huxley did not realize that he, a man who had always remained composed, would lose his temper easily whenever it came to things related to Dexie in recent days. After some time, Luke Huxley pinched his forehead irritably. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, trying to push thoughts of Dexie out of his mind. Just then, his cell phone rang, alerting hi

Upon hearing this, Dexie sneered, and the ridicule in her eyes was unmistakable. She was determined to become an illegitimate daughter with our family's money. My father is becoming more and more successful. Roy shuddered at the coldness in her tone.In the next moment, Dexie added, "There's no way Rodel would work only at the Hansley Corporation. You should investigate again. Let's see if he has other properties. Find out everything you can and report back to me.""Okay. I'll go to the lab soon. While I'm gone, keep an eye out.""No problem. I've got it covered."When Luke Huxley returned to Winswood Home, it was still early. Hansley had noticed that he had been coming home early in the past few days, which surprised him.She had been working here for over a year, and it was rare to see Mr. Dawson return home so early. However, since Mrs. Dawson moved away, he had come home early several times.Was it true what Mrs. Dawson had mentioned about him hating her so much that she rarely ca

Is there nothing else we can talk about besides the divorce? It had never occurred to her that he would waste his time talking nonsense with Dexie. He had always been too busy for that. "What else is there? It took you a year to find a topic to talk about other than divorce!" He asked with a grimace, her words dripping with sarcasm. She made him choke on her words. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a sound. After all, he had never said more than a word to her this entire year.The fact that he had been forced to marry her always made him lose control and vent his anger on her. He thought that after her grandfather passed away, he could get rid of Dexie. But now, he realizes that letting her go wasn't that simple. His heart would break if she moved away. Faced with Dexie's question, Luke Huxley couldn't say a word. He had always waited for Luke Huxley to talk to him, hoping he would say one more word. It could have made his day. But he no longer had the same expectat

“Miss, please learn the rules of driving before arguing with others. You are making a fool of yourself," Dexie said impatiently. Narda didn't take Dexie's words seriously and assumed it was just Dexie being bossy. She hit the back of the car, refusing to admit her hidden hostility towards Dexie and her intention to cause trouble. As Narda recalled Luke Huxley's concern over photos of Dexie with another man, she felt a surge of jealousy, intensifying her hatred for Dexie. Believing she was Luke Huxley's true love, Narda felt superior to Dexie. “You are the one who is wrong here. Are you so stupid not to realize that?" Narda said with a sarcastic smile, her words dripping with contempt and malice. Dexie felt her anger rising at Narda's words. In the past, Narda had played pranks on Luke Huxley because Dexie had refused to divorce him. Dexie had made many foolish decisions out of concern for Luke Huxley, and now she realized she could have handled things differently. Pushing aside h
