Peter's voice was low, but it fell on Lexie's ears with a rumble.
What kind of person was Alan? Except for the vindictive sex on the wedding night, he looked at her with undisguised indifference, and Peter actually wanted her to carry his child?
This was a pipe dream.
[That's impossible] Lexie shook her head.
Peter said without changing his face, "Nothing is impossible, as long as you put this inside his tea, and try a few more times, let him have it without finding it out, you will get pregnant in the end."
Lexie was stunned.
Was that something a father would say to his daughter?
When she had first been taken back to the Mitchell family, she had had expectations for this father, longed for care from a father, but those expectations had all been dulled by the cold treatment day after day.
Even so, she had never thought that Peter would sell her to the Howard family as if she were a good, after all, she was his daughter.
[Dad, have you ever treated me as your daughter?] Lexie looked at Peter, trying to find a hint of warmth in his gaze.
"Of course you're my daughter, you're the eldest lady of the Mitchell family, so you should know that these are all your responsibilities. Lexie, as long as you give birth to Alan's child, then the Howard family will all be yours! I'm doing this for your own good."
Peter said his plans, the greed that could not be concealed in his eyes was like a pot of cold water, making Lexie's heart completely cooled down.
[I can't do it] Lexie refused.
Alan had already warned her, and she didn't want to take the risk.
Peter's face went grim, "You have to."
Lexie wanted to say something else, but the voices of Edith and Alan came from outside.
Peter quickly shoved the paper bag into Lexie's hand and pressed her hand, warning, "Don't forget that your grandma is still lying in the hospital."
The fatal weakness was in his hands, and even though Lexie was reluctant, she had to endure it.
"What are you talking about?" Alan's voice rang out behind him.
Lexie's back stiffened and she held the paper bag tightly and hid it in her sleeve.
"Nothing, Lexie hasn't come back for a long time, just a little chat," Peter straightened up and looked at Alan calmly, squeezing out a smile, "Lexie said she was well taken care of in the Howard family and was doing well."
"Is that so?" Alan gave Lexie a meaningful look.
When she met his gaze, Lexie suddenly felt heart weak and blushed.
"My Dad and my sister haven't seen each other for a long time, let them talk. Alan, let me show you upstairs," Edith disliked the way Alan was paying attention to Lexie, pulling his arm and shaking it.
"No need, Lexie will take me."
Hearing these words, Lexie's expression stalled and she looked at Alan in surprise.
"Alan ......," Edith shook Alan's hand.
"I said before I came that I wanted to see the place where Lexie lived before she got married," Alan drew his arm out and his cold gaze turned to Lexie, "Right, Lexie?"
He called out 'Lexie', causing Lexie to shiver.
What the hell was Alan up to?
Looking at the figure of Alan and Lexie going upstairs, Edith stomped her feet in anger.
"Edith, sit down," Peter's face sank as he watched his daughter like this.
Alan was really a tough nut, and he did not know what tricks he had made his daughter, who was spoiled since childhood, so obsessed with him.
At this rate, it was going to have troubles.
Lexie led Alan into her bedroom.
It was hard to get sunlight into the room for it faced north.
Closing the door to the room, Lexie looked resctriced and pulled out the chair in front of the desk, letting Alan sit.
