My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 41

"Lexie?"

Tina called out to her in alarm.

Lexie subconsciously turned her head back, bumping into this kind of thing made her more embarrassed.

"You ...... don t misunderstand ...... " Tina’s face went pale.

Lexie didn't understand for a moment why she was so flustered, although it was embarrassing, she and Bob Walsh were already going to be engaged, and making love was not something unseemly.

But in the next second, she understood when she saw the man behind Tina.

He was not Bob Walsh.

[I'm here to get the wine.]

Lexie pretended to be calm and raised the wine in her hand.

She had never seen Bob nor did she know what he looked like, but she had just seen yesterday this man behind Tina in the Howard family’s summer resort on the outskirts.

If she remembered correctly, this man was the Howard family's driver.

"Lexie ...... no ...... cousin-in-law," Tina was clearly a bit overwhelmed at this moment, and couldn't even speak too well, "It isn’t what you think like that, we're just ......"

"She saw it."

A male voice came from behind Tina with a tone of certainty.

Lexie shivered coldly.

Tina gradually calmed down and looked at Lexie with a slowly sinking gaze, "You saw it?"

Lexie shook her head violently in denial.

"Don't pretend, you've seen it all, right?" Tina looked at the wine she was holding, "How long have you been here?"

Lexie took a step back, her face embarrassed, not knowing how to explain.

"Now that you've seen it, it's okay," Tina took a deep breath, her face grim, "If you dare to tell anyone, I can guarantee that you definitely won't be able to stay in J City."

Lexie hugged the red wine bottle tightly and nodded.

She certainly would not ask for trouble.

It wouldn't do her any good to tell anyone about Tina's personal affairs.

Watching Lexie leave from the wine cellar, Tina's hands still couldn't stop shaking and was soon held by the man behind her, a low voice fell into her ear, "Can she be trusted?"

Tina’s face was tense, "I have to, she is a mute and has a hard time in the Howard family, what can she say? Besides, what evidence does she have?"

The man's gaze sank.

Lexie ran out of the wine cellar in a panic, managed to get upstairs and run to an occupied area, and stumbled when she ran head-on into a waiter.

"Miss Lexie, are you all right?"

Lexie shook her head in panic and gradually eased up.

Listening to the sound of music in the distant room, Lexie handed the bottle of red wine to the waiter, [Please give this to Edith].

A piece of her dress was torn in the wine cellar.

Time was running out, and she still deal with what Alan had ordered her to do, and she would be taunted by Edith again if she went back.

The banquet hadn't officially started yet, and Peter was meeting his guests in the hall, so she had to take advantage of the gap to go to the study and find the safe that Alan had mentioned.

The winery was huge, and it was lucky that Peter's bedroom and study were on the third floor where the banquet was being held.

Following her memory, Lexie successfully found the location of the study.

There was a click, and when the door opened, she was greeted by the smell of soot in the house, but like the ashes of incense lit in a temple.

Lexie looked around and eventually found the source of the smell, the bookcase with the burnt out incense burner on the first tier, behind which the Bodhisattva of Medicine was worshipped.

The Mitchell family was a family of medicine, and it was traditional to worship the Bodhisattva of Medicine, and in this aspect, Peter was still very old-fashioned.
