My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 23

"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?"

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]
