My Marriage to a Mute Girl
Chapter 4 Which One is More Important
After doing house chores all morning and with a dry throat, Lexie intended to pour herself some water to drink, and when she passed by the corner of the stairs, she happened to hear two maids talking about her secretly.
"I heard that that Edith is a foreign doctoral graduate, not only good-looking, but also especially good at dancing, last year also won J City White Swan dance championship."
"Yes, look at this one, she is a mute and timid. She married into the family even without a wedding, what a shame."
"Although Mr. Alan has a scar on his face, but he is very capable, rich and powerful, how can he take a mute as his wife?"
"That's right, I've heard that people who can't talk like that are third class disabled."
Lexie's gaze flickered slightly.
She wasn't actually born a mute, but when a fire damaged her throat at the age of ten, her father couldn't afford to spend a lot of money to send her abroad for treatment.
As a child she didn't understand the reason, but later she realized that she had not grown up with her father company, but was picked up later.
So these comments could not have any effect on Lexie, she smiled unconcernedly and when she was just about to turn around to leave, an icy and sharp voice appeared outside.
"Who gave you permission to gossip about the Howard family's affairs?"
The two maids jerked back and saw that Alan, whose face was full of ice and whose gaze could freeze people to death, was staring at them with narrowed eyes.
