My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 47

It was already dawn when Lexie woke up.

The man had left at some point, the sheets still warm. She tried to move, her body aching as if it had been crushed.

Lexie clutched the sheet and managed to sit up, and after a moment of dizziness, she looked at the light on the curtains with a stony expression and thought of what Alan said last night.

"Remember, once you're in the Howard family, I'm the only one who can decide when to tell you to get out."

Lexie clutched the sheet with a death grip.

Was she destined to be held in check all her life?

No, she had to change things, even if it was for Grandma's sake, she couldn't go on like this.

As she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.

Peter's voice rang out on the other end of the phone, very cold, "Go back home right now, I have something for you."

Looking at the hung-up call, Lexie frowned.

She knew Peter must blame her for what happened on the day of his birthday banquet.

Just as well, she had something to see him about.

When Lexie arrived home, the maid informed her that Peter was in the backyard.

"Like I said, I have a use for keeping her, not just the one role of keeping her by Alan's side."

"What use can she have? You've raised her for so many years, it is not fair for Edith."

Lexie walked to the door of the backyard and heard the sound of men talking from the courtyard through a screen.

It's Edith's uncle Asher Cooke.

Asher especially doted on Edith, his niece, and was now losing his temper with Peter, ''Peter! Don't forget, Edith's mother got depressed because of her! Are you going to let Edith repeat the same mistake?"

"This is absolutely impossible, Edith is my favorite daughter, otherwise I wouldn't have let Lexie marry into the Howard family for her, you know what kind of person Alan is. "

Hearing these words, Lexie's feet froze in place, and a cold wind swept through her heart.

Yes, everyone knew what kind of person Alan was. Knowing that to marry to Alan was a disaster, Peter still let her do it.

Asher said, "Since she had married into that family, break off relations with her, I do not want Edith to see her."

"That won't work, even if she married someone other than Alan, our relationship can't be broken."

"Why?"

"You forget, for that prescription, she's the only clue."

Lexie's heart stuttered.

She confirmed that she had heard correctly that Peter had said that she was the only clue to the prescription.

Lexie did not dare to listen more, in order to avoid alarming the two, so she walked back to the living room and wait, pondering the two people's conversation, and she felt there was something wrong.

It didn't take long for Peter to send Asher away, only to come out and see Lexie in the living room.

"When did you get back?" He looked odd.

Lexie explained calmly.

[It's been a while, the maid said you have a visitor, so I waited here.]

After explaining, she gave a nod towards Asher behind Peter as a greeting.

Asher coldly snorted and swept a contemptuous glance at her, not even saying a word, and walked straight away.

After sending him away, Peter only came back and sat down, and the maid came and served tea.

[Dad, what did you want me to come back for?]

"Edith has told me that you were the one who pushed her down at the party."
