My Mute Wife

The first item that came up for entertainment news was the Howard Group.

The headline “Chairman of the Howard Group and the second young lady of the Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group walking together” has been pushed to the top of the entertainment hot list.

One of the most widely circulated reports, titled “Sisters vie for one husband”, had been fowarded in over 10, 000 times.

Lexie’s face turned white as she read it, and she didn’t even have the courage to turn down the page.

How could she explain if Grandma read this?

“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you,” Kevin’s voice came from one side, “Things haven’t gone too far, and by rights, my cousin should have already sent someone to suppress these news.”

[I can’t hide it from my grandma].

“You’re going to tell the truth?”

[This is the only way.]

Lexie lowered her head and looked at the blacked out phone screen, her fingers trembling slightly.

Soon they arrived at the place where grandma lived.

When she saw Lexie, her Grandma’s face changed.

“Grandma, I’m going downstairs to do some shopping and I’ll come back later.”

Kevin sent Lexie to the door and excused himself to leave first.

When the door closed, Grandma sat down on the sofa alone, took the remote control and turned on the TV, changing the channel all the time.

Lexie was confused for a moment, but went over and sat down.

[Grandma, are you angry with me?]

“How dare I be angry with you? I don’t even know about your marriage, and I don’t know what kind of person you married. I heard he is from the Howard Group, rich and powerful, and I couldn’t even inquire about it.”

Lexie was at a disadvantage, so she could only smile, [Grandma, you were hospitalized for surgery, so I didn’t tell you about it].

“Is that so? You’re admitting it?”

[I didn’t intend to hide it from you, but it happened so fast, so I didn’t know what to tell you.]

Grandma’s face was serious, “Tell me honestly, did Peter force you to marry him? What kind of person is Alan? I’ve heard that he’s ugly and has a bad temper.”

Seeing Lexie’s silence, Grandma immediately stood up in anger, “I’m going to find Peter right now, how can he do such unethical things!”

Lexie pulled her Grandma back, [No, he actually treats me quite well, although I didn’t marry him voluntarily at first, but he is not what is said.]

“If he is good to you, would he have an affair with Edith again?”

[It was a misunderstanding, Grandma, don’t believe the news reporters who write nonsense?]

Lexie flipped out her phone, finding the news from a few days ago.

[Look at this, he saved my life].

On the news, it was the image of Alan smashing the window, and through the car window, it could still faintly see Lexie’s side face.

The scene was so gruesome that Grandma turned white on her face with fear, “When did this happen?”

Lexie supported her Grandma and smoothed her back to comfort her.

[It’s over, don’t you worry about it, it’s over.]

“Show me if it hurts anywhere.”

[I’m fine, I’m fine now.]

“I didn’t know anything about such a big deal, I thought you were busy at work!”

The Grandma looked as if her heart was pounding, and said, “That Alan really treats you quite well?”

[Yes.] Lexie nodded with certainty.

Lest grandma didn’t believe her, she said, “He’s Kevin’s cousin, don’t you like Kevin a lot? Kevin is such a good person, can his cousin be a bad person?”

Hearing that, Grandma calmed down.

Lexie took the opportunity to give her a back and shoulder rub.

Grandma took her hand, “Lexie, don’t lie to me, if that Alan doesn’t treat you well, you don’t have to condescend to yourself, divorce is not a difficult matter.”

Lexie nodded.

Grandma left Kevin at home for dinner and asked him a bunch of questions, all about Alan.

It was hard to stay up until dinner was over and Grandma sent the two out.

“If you have time, it’s better for me to meet him and have him come by some time.”

Lexie answered vaguely and left in a hurry on the pretext that she had something to do at home.

“Fasten your seat belt.”

[Just now in front of grandma, thank you for speaking up for me.]

“You’re welcome,” Kevin held the steering wheel, “we’re kind of a family now, my cousin is actually not as insensitive as the rumors, and I’m being honest.”

[Is it also true that he fought for you when he was a child?]

“Yeah.”

Lexie was surprised, she thought Kevin was making up stories to trick her Grandma.

“I was not well when I was a child and grew slowly, I was always teased at school and had a nickname,” Kevin smiled towards Lexie.

“Then I was in primary school and my cousin was in sixth grade and once after school I was blocked near the school by senior pupils and my cousin came straight over at the time, guess what happened?”

Lexie shook her head.

“Then we were beaten half to death, all the money on both of us was robbed, and my cousin lost one of his shoes, and when we got home, the family was terrified and almost called the police.”

Thinking of the scene when he was a child, Kevin suddenly burst out laughing.

Lexie was astonished and found it hard to believe that the man Kevin said was protecting him was Alan, righteous and enthusiastic.

[But you don’t seem to be close to him].

“That was later, you must have seen the news, my cousin was abducted and sold when he was thirteen and was found a month later with that extra scar on his face and he became withdrawn.”

Lexie suddenly understood.

As night fell quietly, the lights at the entrance of the Howard family’s villa were bright, illuminating the way home.

When Alan’s car was almost at the door, he saw Lexie getting out of Kevin’s car from afar, and Kevin was talking and laughing with her, while she was also smiling.

At the sound of the engine, Lexie and Kevin looked back.

“Alan, you’re back.”

Alan’s gaze sank slightly, and after giving a nod, he entered the house with broad steps, without even looking at Lexie.

Lexie froze for a moment and took two steps after him to explain something, but realised that he didn’t turn around, he wouldn’t be able to see her movements at all.

“Come in.”

As soon as Alan came home, he went into the study.

Lexie came in with a tea tray and took the initiative to pour him some tea and put it on the desk.

Seeing her standing there, Alan raised his head and gave her a look, “Anything wrong?”

[Today grandma suddenly called Kevin, that’s why Kevin went to the library to look for me and we came back together].

“What’s the point of talking to me about this?”

Lexie pursed her lips, [I am afraid you would misunderstand.]

“Misunderstand what?” Alan’s eyes sank, “Misunderstanding that you and Kevin are having an affair?”

“Even if Kevin doesn’t have any relationship with the Howard family, he’s a medical doctor and the youngest chief physician of a tertiary hospital, do you think that he will like a mute?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lexie was stunned.

The word ‘mute’ fell on her ears, buzzing.

Alan’s sunken cold gaze was like two knives.
