My Mute Wife

After Joey came in and cleared the table, Lydia came in carrying a large suitcase.

Lexie thought it was another gadget she had bought, but instead she saw her carry an old record player out of the box and put it on the cabinet across the bed.

“The sound of an old record player can calm the mind. I heard Dr. Stewart say you have bad insomnia at night, try this.”

Lydia put the record on and the slow flowing music sounded as if it was covered with a heavy veil of history.

Lexie listened intently, and her heart really settled down a lot.

Lydia sat down on the edge of the bed, “How’s it going?”

[Thank you.]

“No need to be polite with me, I didn’t get this anyway, I’m just running errands.”

Lexie was slightly stunned.

The record player looks like it has been years, and does not look like old, this style of thing to now are pricey old antiques, the origin of this thing needless to say can also guess seven or eight points.

[Turn it off.]

Lexie tapped out three words on her phone screen, her gaze quickly darkening.

Lydia froze for a moment, knowing that she had lost her tongue, “Don’t, he also has good intentions, not that I am talking for him, Lexie, he is actually a very good person, just cold on the outside and hot on the inside, sometimes good intentions to do the wrong thing, more often than not he has a compelling reason to suffer.”

Lexie gripped her phone and looked extremely pale.

She couldn’t accept the comment that Myles’ leg was broken by him, Grandpa David was captured by him, and Edith was to be married by him, without anyone forcing him.

Alan is a profit-oriented, possessive scumbag.

“Sis, do you know how Alan got that scar on his face?”

[How did it come about?

“His parents died in an accident, the car accident in a family of three only one left him alive, from that day onwards, he had that extra scar on his face, that year he was ten years old.”

“From the age of ten until now, he has experienced being kidnapped, threatened, trafficked, all the fears you can imagine and can’t imagine those that have accompanied him for more than twenty years to date.”

“Did you know that his insomnia is particularly severe? To rely on drugs to maintain, but most of the time he simply did not dare to take the medicine, because afraid that once he fell asleep, wake up again do not know where.”

Lexie looked at Lydia in dismay, [How do you know all this?

Lydia took a deep breath, “Haven’t you always wondered how he and I met?”

[Hmm.]

“He experienced a fire when he was a child, and the fireman died trying to save him, and that fireman was my dad.”

The dismay in Lexie’s eyes deepened.

She didn’t expect it to be such a layer of relationship.

Lydia said, “my dad sacrificed the day I was just born, then I followed my mother alone, three years old when my mother also left, I became a dragging bottle that everyone dislikes, this relative live a few days, then go to that family live a few days, and then … Alan found me. ”

Even though Lydia’s tone was light, it was still easy to hear the darkness of those days.

Before Alan showed up, it was hard to think about how a little girl with no ability to take care of herself was pushed around by a bunch of cool-mouthed relatives.

No wonder …

Lexie suddenly understood why Lydia had so much dependence on Alan, and why Alan was so tolerant and doting towards her.

People who have redeemed each other in adversity are almost god-like to each other.

Lydia’s eyes were slightly red.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Lexie took her hand in hers and told her with the warmth of her palm that it was all over.

Lydia pulled the corner of her mouth, “Sister, I’m fine, then Alan paid for my schooling and sent me to piano lessons, I can do whatever I want, no one dares to bully me anymore.”

“I am happy, but he has been the same for so many years, no one around him really cares whether he is happy or not, light or not, everyone is using him, calculating him, including relatives, he is actually very good, just sitting in his position for a long time, many things are forced to do.”

Lexie fell silent.

Lydia held her hand tightly, “Sister, believe me, he will be a good father!”

Lexie’s brow furrowed tightly.

Lydia’s eyes were unmistakably sincere and seemed desperately eager to look forward to her approval.

Perhaps, indeed, he would be a good father, as she said.

The other side.

Alan and his assistant arrived at the restaurant early, waiting for the evening business meeting with a foreign couple.

Jack said, “Miss Hunt stayed over in the suburbs and said she was not going to go back to the city for the time being, you see this thing …”

“Let her go, her foot injury also did not heal, to there as a recuperation, the school side to do her delayed admission?”

“Already said hello to the school in advance.”

“Mr. Howard, in fact, you let Miss Hunt go there on purpose, right? In order to have more people to keep your wife company, you are not sure about other people, Miss Hunt is a bit willful, but she is cheerful and kind.”

Alan frowned, “Why are you talking so much today?”

Jack smiled sarcastically and closed his mouth.

Outside the door of the box, Edith, carrying her bag, had come happily to accompany Alan to negotiate with the foreign businessman, but she happened to hear these words just now, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared without a trace.

Alan really does care about Lexie.

It is also, after all, pregnant, no matter what can be mother to son.

But what if the child is gone?

A chill rose to Edith’s eyes at the thought.

On Saturday, the weather was sunny and breezy.

Kevin came to the suburbs first thing in the morning and examined Lexie.

“Still try to stay in bed, try not to get out of bed for more than an hour a day, to recuperate mainly, and also, to pay attention to a happy mood.”

[I’ll keep an eye on it.]

Speaking of mood, Kevin sighed silently in his heart.

Mood matters are not something that man can influence.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from outside and the piano sound came to an abrupt end.

Patrick’s voice came from the living room with some obvious sulking, “How many times have I told you not to play the piano here, just to show off that you know how to do it, right? My sister needs to recuperate, do you know what it means to recuperate, you’re making a lot of noise.”

Lydia immediately retorted, “Who is making noise? You don’t know anything, do you?”

“Anyway, you’re not allowed to play anymore, what the hell are you playing!”

“It’s called fetal education! Do you understand fetal education?”

“And teach you like that?”

Kevin saw a few rare smiles floating in the corners of Lexie’s eyes and inquired, “It seems like it’s a good thing they’re both here with you.”

Lexie touched the small of her back and leaned back on the bed with an extremely gentle look.

[Lydia is very kind and I hope my children can be like her in the future].

“By the way, you know today …”

Kevin wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Lexie met his gaze, [What’s wrong?
