My Mute Wife

Chapter 148 – Under the Same Roof



“Ma’am, you have this injury on your body.”

The maid waited on Lexie to bathe and saw the scrapes on her body that were so shocking.

Those are the wounds left in L City, these days without proper care, multiple infections and inflammation.

Lexie, however, seemed unconcerned, lying in the tub, staring up at the overhead light.

The light from the wall lamp overhead shone brightly and dimly in front of her eyes, and the dizziness soon came over her, and all the things in the past six months seemed to be playing like a movie in her head.

In the beginning, she was forced to marry Alan for Edith in order to cure her grandmother, but she was entangled with Alan, which led to the murder of her grandmother.

The cycle of cause and effect, in the end the basket is empty.

Lexie came out of the shower and the maid helped her to lie down on the bed, “Madam, you have a good rest, the young master has just gone out, I don’t know if he will come back tonight.”

At that, Lexie pulled the covers on herself and lay down, not wanting to know where Alan was going.

Seeing this, the maid sighed, closed the door and went out.

The other side.

Edith turned around immediately at the sound of the limo’s engine, “Alan.”

Alan was dressed in a pitch-black suit that almost blended in with the darkness of the night.

“Where’s the stuff?”

Edith gritted her teeth, “I have the stuff with me, but Alan, don’t you think you should give me an explanation? These days for your matter I also what to go east and west, you come out instead to see Lexie.”

“If you really can’t let her go so much, why on earth did you get engaged to me?”

“Because you’re Edith.”

Alan’s eyes rippled, “From the beginning, the person I want to marry is you, not her.”

Edith was stunned.

“If you don’t want to marry me, it’s not too late to backtrack.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Edith suddenly panicked, “Of course I’d like to marry you, but Lexie …”

“No buts, to blame you should blame your father, should not let Lexie marry for you to the Howard family, I Alan touched the woman, this life is my woman, divorced also.”

A cold sentence fell, blown into Edith’s ears by the cold wind, and her heart jolted.

She is not stupid, from the beginning she knew very well, Alan looked at herself a few points, look at her identity background and a few points.

If she were not Peter’s daughter, not the sole heir of the Mitchell Group, Alan would not even look at herself.

But she didn’t understand why he didn’t want the Mitchell family when there were so many families in J City that were right for him, and what her father had said was stirring in her head.

“I can give you the stuff, but I want the wedding date to be moved up and for us to finish the marriage as soon as possible.”

Alan was in no hurry to agree and suddenly questioned coldly, “The night of our engagement party, the people at the southern suburban villa were the ones you sent over, right?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The sunken cold gaze became more and more compelling in the moonlight.

Edith shuddered violently and hastily denied, “Of course not, I have a grudge against Lexie again, she is still my sister, how could I possibly lay such a cruel hand on her.”

“You can’t lay a hand that hard, but Lennox can.”

The people sent to the villa in the southern suburbs are indeed not the batch hired by Edith, she is a thousand-year-old girl with her hands in her clothes, what channels can she have to find those vicious fighters, but a group of hooligans from three religions and nine streams.

But someone took advantage of her hand and changed a group of people over, and the ones sent over were all outlaws who were there to take Lexie’s life.

Edith blushed, “Alan, are you suspecting me of working with Lennox?”

“I absolutely did not!”

“Really? Absolutely not, so how did you escape unharmed from Lennox’s grasp?”

Lennox caught Edith at the hospital and released her that night, words from her own mouth.

Edith was speechless.

“Alan, you can’t accuse me wrongly, I definitely don’t have any intention to harm you,” Edith fumbled around and fished out an envelope from her bag, “This contains all the recorded evidence that he ordered the kidnapping of Lexie’s grandma, I’ll give this to you, you can just hand it to the police to verify, he This life will have to spend in jail.”

“If I really colluded with him, why did I keep this evidence?”

Alan took the envelope, long slender fingers bony, “around me, a lot of things that should not interfere, I hope you know the score yourself.”

“What I dislike most is being betrayed, as well as threatened.”

Edith shivered as the river breeze blew by.

The following day.

Lexie was forced up by the maid for breakfast, and when the wheelchair was pushed downstairs, Alan was there.

Lexie’s empty eyes without a ripple, she no longer cared about this person, grandma died, she no longer had any attachment to this world.

“Madam, sir came back early this morning to have breakfast with you, afraid that you would be too bored alone.”

The maid helped Alan with a good word, pushing the wheelchair to the table and adjusting it to make it easier for Lexie to eat.

Lexie was so impassive and motionless that if she wasn’t still breathing, everyone there would have thought it was a corpse.

The maid looked at Lexie in this state and was a bit scared, especially in front of Alan, she didn’t dare to be reckless, afraid that she would be dismissed for not taking care of Lexie.

The Howard family pays really well, and she can’t afford to leave here.

After waiting for a long time, so long that the maid felt her feet were standing numb, Alan finally moved.

This woman! Is she planning to protest in this way?

Alan grabbed her hand and questioned, “Are you trying to force me with a hunger strike? Do you think I will compromise?”

Lexie’s empty eyes finally have a hint of focus, anyway, can not break free, also can not afford to struggle, calm gaze cold to chill people.

[What do you think? Should I have an appetite when I see you? You murderer!

What makes a murderer think he should joyfully accompany him to dinner?

Alan’s face immediately sank and he violently shook her off.

Lexie fell back in her chair, the pain making her pretty features all screwed up.

Alan’s hands pressed against the back of the chair and the table, locking Lexie in a circle formed by her body, pressing down a shadow, “Don’t challenge my patience, you’re not going anywhere today until you finish what’s on your plate!”

Dropping these words, he gave her a cold look and sat back in his seat, “Rose, pour the wife another glass of juice, feed her, and if you don’t finish each meal, you leave the Howard family for me.”

The maid on the side had long been stunned and nodded her head busily, “Yes, I’m on my way.”

Lexie’s shoulders trembled violently, anger and humiliation churning in her chest, this man, who would not let her go, could not even get rid of death.

Alan said, “I have plenty of time to spend with you today, you can’t finish eating I’ll sit here and wait, let someone heat it up if it’s cold, reheat it if it’s too much, as long as you don’t eat it, I’ll have someone force it into your mouth, or you want to get a nutritional shot. As long as you want to keep seeing me like this, I have plenty of time.”

A stalemate in silence passed for an unknown amount of time.

Under the man’s gaze, Lexie finally gave up. She shakily picked up her knife and fork, gripping it hard and slicing viciously at the bacon on her plate.

Alan then narrowed his gaze and picked up the newspaper at his side to read while sipping his coffee.

“I’ll be back for dinner with you every day from now on, so be prepared.”

Lexie’s hand slicing the bread trembled violently and clenched her teeth fiercely.

She will live to avenge her mother and grandmother, the Mitchell family and the Howard family, and I won’t spare any of them!
