My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 37

It was only after Lexie left from the study that Alan lifted the cup of tea in his hand and took a sip.

Oolong tea's fragrance was rich, a light creamy aftertaste, and the house's smoky aroma mixed together, giving a calming effect. Listening to the sound of the door closing next door, Alan actually went a bit off.

After Lexie took care of Grandma in the hospital for a few days, Grandma recovered well.

This afternoon, Lexie was shopping at the store near the hospital, and when she went out, she saw a figure in a suit on the roadside bowing slightly towards her, "Miss Mitchell, Mr. Stanley wants to see you."

The person who came was none other than Mr. Stanley's personal butler, and it was Mr. Stanley who wanted to see her.

Since Alan took over the Howard Group, Mr. Stanley has retired, and had rarely appeared in J City all these years. He would only go to a suburban villa in J City for summer vacation every year.

Other than this time, even the people of the Howard family couldn't see him.

When she got into the car, the scenery in the window receded all the way back, and Lexie clutched her fingers uneasily.

Perhaps seeing Lexie's nervousness, the butler on the passenger seat comforted her, "Miss Mitchell, don’t be nervous, after all, you're married to Mr. Alan, so you should meet the elders of the family."

Lexie pursed her lips and nodded politely.

At this time, inside the summer resort on the outskirts.

"I haven't seen you for long, Tina, you are a big girl now."

Diana sized up Tina Howard and praised her.

Tina Howard is Alan's cousin and his eldest uncle's only daughter, who has been pampered since childhood, so she has developed a foul temper, but is very good at pleasing Mr. Stanley.

Tina sat next to Mr. Stanley and said with a smile, "Mrs. Stewart, you look younger."

Diana sighed, "No way, I've grown a lot of gray hair from worry."

"What's wrong?" Tina blinked, "What else could be bothering you, Mrs. Stewart? Let Grandpa know, and he can help you."

"According to Alan's character and family background, it's impossible for him to marry a mute. If you knew about this matter in the first place, you surely wouldn't have agreed to it, right?"

On the chair, Mr. Stanley had a beard, a majestic and righteous look, polite but cold, "Alan has his own idea since he was young, since he made the decision, he naturally has his reasons. The eldest young lady of the Mitchell family may have a mute disease, but perhaps she has some strengths."

Mr. Stanley had carried out investigation, so he knew that Lexie had a master degree. Although she did not inherited the family business, she had a decent and stable job, and she was a modest person.

At least it was a famous family's daughter, she was better than those who coveted the Howard family’s business.

"Strengths?" Diana frowned, "I'm too ashamed to say it out, it's okay to make a scene in our own family, but the family’s scandal is on the news."

"The news?" Without waiting for Mr. Stanley to say anything, Tina was the first to open her mouth, "I heard about that matter too, wasn't it all settled by cousin?"

"What news?" Mr. Stanley's brow furrowed.

"You don't know?" Tina immediately held out her phone, "This, I wanted to tell you earlier, but it has been clarified before I could, so I didn't bring it to disturb you."

Seeing that Tina said the things about Lexie, Diana simply quietly drank tea at the side, waiting to see this good show.

As expected, as soon as Mr. Stanley saw the news content, his face sank, "Nonsense, this is joking with the Howard family's reputation."

Tina comforted, "Grandpa, don't be angry, it has been clarified? No matter what the truth is, Cousin will definitely take care of it."
