My Marriage to a Mute Girl
Chapter 47 You Remembered?
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. "
