My Mute Wife

“Clean the place up and serve a cup of tea.”

After Diana left, Lexie fished the phone out from inside the sink.

It was definitely not going to turn back on since it had been soaked.

She didn’t expect Edith to dare to be so reckless in the Howard’s house.

Thinking of the way Edith just pampered Alan, Lexie suddenly had some heartache, not because of Alan, but she had watched Edith like this for long.

Whatever she wanted, all she had to do was to pout and she had everything.

And she …

Forget it, every man has his fate.

Lexie set her phone aside, gathered the broken porcelain pieces inside the trash can, then refilled the snacks and made tea and sent it to the living room.

At this moment, the maid had already helped Edith treat the wound on her hand.

The wound wasn’t really big at all, just a small cut from the broken porcelain, and it had stopped bleeding when it was bandaged, yet she still looked teary-eyed.

“Alan, it hurts, did you not bandage it properly?”

Alan held her hand and looked at it carefully, saying faintly, “It’s not a big deal, if you’re not sure, have someone take you to the hospital.”

“Could it get infected? It might need a tetanus shot.”

Hearing this from Edith, Lexie even wanted to laugh.

Edith was a medical student, but made the pretense of being ignorant.

“Lexie, what are you still standing there for?” Diana saw Lexie come out and said in a bad mood, “You’re dummy and clumsy, why don’t you hurry over and apologize to Edith?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Lexie was stunned.

She didn’t do anything, so why should she apologize?

After setting down her snacks and tea, she silently stepped aside.

Diana didn’t relent, “Did you hear me? Are you deaf?”

“Forget it, Mrs. Stewart,” Edith leaned over Alan and made a generous face, “My sister shouldn’t have meant it.”

Hearing that, Diana held Edith’s hand, “You are too kind, no wonder you are bullied by some heartless people. If only are you are Alan’s wife.”

Hearing that, the servants of the Howard family all had a strange look on their faces.

Lexie clenched her fingers in secret, embarrassed.

The most important reason for her lack of status in the Howard family was Diana’s attitude towards her.

“It’s late, I’m coming back to get some things and I have to go to the office later, so I gotta take my leave.”

Alan’s voice interrupted their conversations. He stood up from the sofa, glancing at Lexie, “You come upstairs with me.”

Lexie was stunned and looked at Alan in surprise.

Was he helping her out?

Watching the two go upstairs, Diana’s face sank, indignantly saying, “This mute really has some tricks, making Alan protect her so much!”

Edith didn’t think so, “Mrs. Stewart, Alan is just taking pity on her, if he really protects her, why didn’t he refute what you said?”

In her opinion, Alan not only didn’t protect Lexie, but also disgusted her, and probably he was to scold Lexie for making her get injured.

When she thought of how Alan had just cared for herself, Edith was smug.

On the other side, Alan closed the study door.

Lexie took out the paper and pen she had with her and wrote a line and handed it to him to read.

[Thank you for helping me out just now.]

Alan glanced at it and snorted coldly, “You’re thinking too much.”

Lexie faintly stared.

“What was that about in the kitchen just now?”

[I didn’t do anything]

“How did Edith’s hand get hurt? What were you arguing about?” Alan’s gaze was stern as he looked coldly at Lexie, “Did Peter tell you to come to me again to find something?”

[No]

Lexie hurriedly shook her head, [Edith…]

The words on the book were not finished, and Lexie suddenly stopped writing, hesitating for a while, not knowing whether to write on or not.

“Keep writing,” Alan pressed abruptly closer, his cold, deep voice pressing down from overhead, as if even the tip of the pen had been filled with lead, pressing on the book.

Lexie could only write on, [Edith asked me to divorce you, she wants to marry to you.]

This was the truth, and even if she didn’t say it, the entire family could see what was on Edith’s mind.

“You don’t want to?”

Alan’s voice rang in his ears.

Lexie was suddenly startled, not knowing how to reply for a moment.

It wasn’t a matter of whether she wanted to or not, and it wasn’t even her own will to marry into this family in the first place.

“What? Peter regrets it so soon?” Alan snorted, “Your family is really shameless, marrying daughter as casually as selling cabbages.”

With the insulting words fell on her ears, although they stung, Lexie was used to them.

What she was suspicious of was Alan’s tone, which didn’t take Edith seriously.

He seemed to loathe the Mitchell family.

But if he loathed the Mitchell family, why did he have to ask to marry Edith in the first place, and still cared for her in front of others?

Alan didn’t continue and looked at her coldly, “I have something to tell you.”

Lexie showed a puzzled look.

“You haven’t been back to your family since you’ve been married, have you?”

Hearing that, Lexie’s heart stuttered as she nodded carefully, though the Mitchell family was really not worthy of her family.

“I’m free tomorrow to accompany you to go back.”

Lexie cast a surprised look towards Alan.

What did he want to accompany her back to the Mitchell family for?

Seeing her hesitation, Alan’s gaze sank, “What? Not willing?”

Lexie shook her head in a hurry.

She just did not understand.

Looking at the woman with this mute look, Alan impatiently waved his hand, “Alright, there’s nothing else, you can go out.”

Lexie nodded and heard Alan’s voice from behind her as she walked to the door.

“I told you to be act properly, I didn’t mean you should be tolerant. You are my wife, and you should know what should do and what shouldn’t do.”

Lexie’s movement to close the door paused slightly, nodded and exited.

Once the door closed, Alan took a seat behind his desk.

After his slender finger slid twice on the phone and tapped on a software icon that was not available on the market, Edith’s voice came from inside, sarcastic and mean, and just different from she was just now.

From the first day Lexie married into the family, her phone was monitored.

He knew exactly who she was talking to, what they said, what was newly recorded on her phone.

However, the move that Lexie recorded her talking to her own sister was really something Alan hadn’t expected.

He had really underestimated this mute.

“Myles Lawrence is back to the country …”

Edith’s threatening voice came from the phone’s speaker, and Alan’s brows frowned slightly.

Myles Lawrence?

Alan snorted coldly.

These two sisters of the Mitchell family were both tough nuts.

On the trip to the Mitchell family, he wanted to see for himself what that old fox, Peter, had in mind.
