My Mute Wife

Lexie was carried into the car by Alan, like a dream, the pain in her knees could not be felt, and for the first time she felt that this man was not so cold and heartless as he seemed on the surface.

Sitting in the car, Lexie looked at him, [Why are you helping me?]

For the question she had just asked in the principal’s office, Alan hadn’t answered her yet.

Going to all the trouble to set this up for her didn’t seem like something Alan would be able to do.

Alan frowned at her gesture, and even though he couldn’t read the sign language, he could see what she meant from Lexie’s grateful gaze.

“You don’t have to thank me, I’m not doing it for you.”

Alan’s tone was as cold as his face, “I’m checking out this matter just for the sake of the Howard family, since you have married into the Howard family, you are a member of the Howard family, better keep your peace and we’ll be fine with each other, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude if you cause trouble like this again.”

The cold voice rang out in the carriage, instantly dousing the warmth somewhere in Lexie’s heart.

How could Alan possibly bother for herself?

Thinking about how he treated her last night, Lexie couldn’t help but shiver and shudder.

If something like this happened again, Alan would definitely kick her out.

There were no words all the way.

After sending Lexie back to home, Alan didn’t stop and directly asked his driver to take him to the company.

The car sped down the city’s arterial roads.

“Mr. Alan, the school has taken care of it, there won’t be any more rumors about that incident back then, and the media has all withdrawn their articles in preparation for an apology.”

Alan leaned in the back seat and closed his eyes, his features reflected on the car window glass, looking more and more cold and stern, “After so many years, this thing was still rehashed, I’m afraid that a gym teacher is not so capable.”

“Are you saying that there is a push behind this?”

“Check it out.”

“Okay.”

“…”

The next morning, the news of the college gym teacher molesting female students rushed to the top of the hot search list, a number of victims jointly voice their complaints, the original high on the hot search list about Mrs. Howard’s news was instantly covered, the network public opinion lopsided …

“The gym teacher has been transferred to the public security organs to deal with the progress of his repeated crimes over the years, our reporter will continue to follow up …”

On the TV’s big screen, the news reporter worded the day’s legal news.

“You really can’t trust the news nowadays, one statement on a day,” Diana turned off the TV in a bad mood, sitting on the living room sofa with her arms in her arms and sulking.

She originally thought she could rely on this news to drive away the mute who looked so repulsive, but she didn’t expect her to be wrongly accused, and what was even more unexpected to her was that Alan had personally led a clear investigation into the matter.

Diana frowned.

How could that be? Alan was brought up by her own hands, so how could he have a fancy on such a third-class crippled woman, but Alan had always kept Lexie in the Howard family, something she had never figured out.

“Madam, Miss Edith is here.”

The servant’s voice pulled back Diana’s thoughts.

“Edith is here,” Diana got up to greet Edith, “Why did you rush here early in the morning? Did you see the news?”

“News? What news?” Edith asked as she sat down on the sofa and looked at Diana in confusion.

“It’s that mute … news about your sister earlier, now it turns out it was framed, that gym teacher at your school was reported, and now he has been arrested.”

“What? How is that possible?”

“Didn’t you swear before that your sister and that gym teacher had been dating? How come things have reversed so badly, now I am afraid that Alan would say that I’m making a big deal out of it!”

Diana was clearly blaming Edith.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Edith was slightly stunned and made a surprised look, “Mrs. Stewart, that incident back then was a big deal at school, the whole school knew about it. How come Alan went to school and things all settled down?”

Hearing these words, Diana’s expression stalled.

“But the person who wrote the news is also really bold, knowing that my sister is now Mrs. Howard, he still dares to write these scripts. He is really not afraid of offending the Howard family.”

Edith’s words reminded Diana, and her mind suddenly jolted.

“You mean that Alan did it for the Howard family …”

Edith lowered her head and drank her tea, reluctantly pulling the corners of her mouth, taking the blame off herself, “Mrs. Stewart, just pretend nothing happened, my sister is Mrs. Howard now after all.”

Diana’s face turned pale.

With Lexie’s ‘antecedent’ of swindling Edith into marrying into the Howard family instead, she was convinced of Edith’s words, not to mention Alan’s attitude was indeed wrong, how could he go to great lengths for a mute girl’s innocence?

It must be for the Howard family’s dignity.

This fucking dumb girl!

Thinking of this, Diana put down her teacup and said in no good mood, “Marry, where is that mute? Doesn’t she know that there is a guest at home and she needs to greet. How can she be so rude?”

“I will get her now.”

At the moment, Lexie was resting in her bedroom.

Yesterday she was drenched in cold water, Alan has servant prepare the ginger soup, but she did not dare to drink it. She felt cold when she woke up in the morning and still wasshivering under her quilt.

The rude sound of the door opening woke Lexie from her nightmare, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Marry standing in the doorway.

Marry exclaimed, “Why are you still sleeping, Mrs. Howard?”

Lexie stretched out her hand from under the quilt and gestured breathlessly, [Is something wrong?]

“Stop gesturing, I can’t read,” Marry’s tone was full of disgust, “Madam told you to go down, Miss Edith is here.”

Edith was here?

Lexie’s heart sank, struggling, but still got up gritting her teeth.

The matter of high school was suddenly turned up, it must be attributed to Edith, after all, the person who wanted to drive her out of the Howard family the most nowadays was Edith.

The threat was unsuccessful, so now she must come for her revenge.

Despite her reluctance to dwell too much with Edith, Alan loathed the fact that she made troubles, so she had to deal with it carefully, at least not argue with Edith again.

Lexie changed into a plain white dress and went downstairs, her face pale, and her feet were weak when she went downstairs, and if she hadn’t been holding on to the handrail of the stairs, she was afraid that she could have rolled down if she hadn’t been careful.

“Sister, why don’t you look well?”

Edith looked up at her, making a false face of worry.

Diana gave Lexie a blank look, ”What is that look? You want your mother’s family to know that you’re not doing well in our family? Did you bring this on yourself?”

Lexie stood at the stairway, not even having the strength to retort.

“What are you doing standing there? Go get some refreshments. It is true that an illegal daughter has no hospitality, didn’t your mother teach you have to behave?”

Listening to Diana’s commanding words, Lexie silently clenched her fingers, but she could only hold back and nod, going to the kitchen.

Edith’s gaze flickered, “Mrs. Stewart, my sister doesn’t seem to be feeling well, I’ll go help her.”
