My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 38

Mr. Stanley's words left Lexie with no way to argue.

The entire family knew that the person Alan was going to marry at first was Edith, but the one who was sent into the Howard family on the wedding night was her, a mute.

Not waiting for Lexie to answer.

"Yes," Diana immediately spoke, "I heard that someone was intimidating her own sister, saying that our family is a tiger and wolf's nest, and that Alan looks ugly and has a bad character, and then make a generous appearance to marry into our family for her sister ......"

Lexie's face changed.

[I didn't say those words.]

"You are still arguing," Diana wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mr. Stanley.

"Alright, there's no need to say more about what's already true," Mr. Stanley looked at Lexie, his gaze slightly sunken like Alan's, causing Lexie to shudder.

"Miss Mitchell, since it was a misunderstanding in the first place, why don't we settle it properly? You and Alan are indeed inappropriate to be together."

Lexie squeezed her fingers tightly and looked at Mr. Stanley in surprise.

Mr. Stanley said in a deep voice, "Not many people knew about this marriage, it's good for both families to stop the damage in time. We will give you some compensation, and the marriage will be called off."

Lexie looked at the people present, some gloating and some standing by.

She dreamed of leaving the Howard family, leaving Alan, but if she just left, would Peter let her go? Would Alan let her go? The result was imaginable.

She shook her head against the overwhelming pressure.

Mr. Stanley's face sank, "You don't want to? Even the proper young lady of the Mitchell family is not good enough for our family, not to mention that you are an illegitimate daughter, for the Howard family ......"

The words 'illegitimate daughter' fell on Lexie's ears with the sting of a needle.

Her nails almost pinched into her palm.

"Grandpa," a cold voice came through the door, breaking the frozen air of the room.

Lexie jerked her head up, and saw Alan striding across the threshold, in a tailored black suit, his tall figure wrapped in a chill.

"Alan, you are here," Mr. Stanley looked faint, "just in time to get the divorce out of the way in front of you."

"Grandpa," Alan glanced at Lexie, "Lexie is my legitimate wife, marriage is not a child's play, and I haven't considered divorce."

"Nonsense," Mr. Stanley's face sank and his tone heaved, "You were marrying the Mitchell family's second young lady, and they sent a ..."

"Grandpa!"

Before the word 'mute' could be fully uttered, it was interrupted by Alan's voice, "I never said that it was the second young lady of the Mitchell family that I was going to marry."

At the drop of a word, the entire room was silent.

Lexie was also stunned and looked at Alan in amazement.

"I'm marrying the Mitchell family's daughter, never naming Edith," Alan's words confirmed that what they had just heard was correct.

Mr. Stanley looked puzzled, "Are you saying that it was Lexie that you wanted to marry in the first place?"

Alan didn't say anything, and this tacit attitude made Diana crazy.

"Alan, you can't be childish, how could you possibly be willing to marry a mute ......"

"Aunt, you probably don't know me very well."

Alan glanced at Diana, the chill in his gaze causing Diana to shut her mouth.

He hadn't planned to bring Lexie here at all, and today grandpa suddenly called Lexie here in advance, so he knew whose idea it was.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.
