My Mute Wife

the Howard family villa.

Diana cooked a special table and waited with Edith for Alan to come back for dinner.

“Edith, from now on we are a family, although only engaged, but the wedding date is also set, soon you will marry into the Howard family.”

“Mrs. Stewart, it’s not a sure thing.”

Edith blushed and immediately put down her dishes when she heard the door open outside, “Alan.”

Diana also followed, “Alan, look how virtuous Edith is, she just came over the day after her engagement and arranged this big table of dishes, all of which you like to eat.”

Alan looked cool, couldn’t see the slightest ripple, “I’ve eaten, you guys eat.”

The joy on Edith’s face instantly froze at the corners of her mouth.

Diana reassured, “It’s okay, Alan probably just ate out at a dinner party, Edith, we don’t care about him, we’ll eat by ourselves.”

Edith was pulled to the table and sat down, but the food tasted like wax.

Alan came back from nowhere, and she couldn’t have known better.

Kevin put the key in the foyer, “Nobody lives here all the time, so you can stay here for now, and if you need anything, feel free to tell me.”

Lexie nodded, [Thank you.

This house is still the previous Kevin intended to rent to grandma to live, at that time in order to avoid Alan’s opinion, she did not accept, did not expect to turn around, they still live in the house.

“Are you still not going to tell grandma about this? If you tell grandma, you can just move in with grandma.”

Lexie shook her head, [Grandma is old and has had too many things going on one after another lately, don’t want her to worry too much about me.

Kevin nodded thoughtfully.

“Then you can stay here in peace, it’s close to the hospital and to where grandma lives.”

[Well, thank you, Kevin.]

“It was the Howard family that wronged you, and I did it for my own peace of mind.”

Kevin suddenly remembered something, “I never understood why my cousin he had to marry the Mitchell family’s daughter, it’s not enough to marry you, but suddenly he wants to marry Edith, what the hell is he doing?”

[He has an axe to grind with Peter].

“Got a grudge?”

Kevin’s brow furrowed, “Do you know exactly what the reason is?”

[Not sure, he didn’t tell me.

Lexie held the hot water cup, her palm was scalding red, [the very first thing he wanted to marry was Edith, and now it’s kind of back on track].

With the baby gone, the last connection between her and Alan is gone, and whatever Alan wanted to marry Edith for, he now gets what he wants.

It’s time to let yourself go.

At night, the Howard Group’s president’s office is still lit.

“Mr. Howard, this is all the information you want on the Mitchell Group’s overseas transactions for the past three years, as well as Mrs. Howard’s entry and exit time information.”

“Well, what has Peter been up to lately?”

“Domestic investment has been tightened, but frequent contact with foreign countries, is this to expand overseas markets?”

“I’m afraid it’s not just a simple matter of expanding overseas,” Alan’s eyes floated a bit of chill, “he is so anxious to transfer assets to overseas secret accounts, I’m afraid he knows that the Bureau of Investigation is investigating the Mitchell Group pharmaceuticals, can not hide for a long time, in order to find their own The exit.”

“Peter seems to be going abroad at the end of this month to talk business.”

“He’s going in person?”

“Yes, our people planted in the Mitchell Group got the information, there should not be false.”

Alan was thoughtful, “This is news that the people in the Detective Bureau should be looking forward to knowing.”

“Find an opportunity to tell that deputy director without a trace.”

“Flora?”

“Hmm.”

Leveraging the power of the Mitchell Group, Flora is investigating the Mitchell Group, so she will do whatever it takes to keep Peter in the country and even in J City, never giving him any chance to escape.

Jack glanced at the time, “Mr. Howard, it’s late, don’t you want to go home and rest?”

“You go back, I’ll stay a little longer.”

Jack wanted to say something else, but looked at Alan was already flipping through the files, so he swallowed his words.

During this time he has been working overtime at the company and rarely goes home.

If this continues, the body is going to collapse ah.

After Jack left, Alan received a phone call.

“Hello?”

Kevin’s voice came over the phone, “Don’t worry, she’s already arranged to stay, my place is quite safe, usually the security guards don’t just let strangers in, and it’s close to the police station.”

“Thanks.”

“Hey,” Kevin knew he was about to hang up and called out sharply, “if you care about her so much, why don’t you go stay with her? You know she’s been in really bad shape lately, both physically and mentally.”

Alan frowned and hung up the phone after a moment of silence.

A week later, the Mitchell Group was again exposed to the problem of drug counterfeiting, and several subsidiaries were closed by the regulatory authority, and even Peter was called to ‘tea’.

In this situation, Edith did not even turn to Alan, but quietly left the country.

“Did you have someone follow?”

“It’s been arranged, on the same flight, and will follow the whole way.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Keep us posted if you have any news.”

“Yes, Mr. Howard, where are we going now?”

In the back seat of the car, Alan’s eyes were sullen and cold, “Go to the hospital.”

The autumn night is more sluggish than any other season, and the leaves of the sycamores on the streets of J City are gradually dyed yellow, and when the wind blows, they fall into the air and flutter with the speeding cars.

Renhe Hospital.

Lexie sorts and loads the medical waste and takes the disinfectant and sprays it down the hallway.

A tall figure suddenly stopped in front of her, with shiny black leather shoes.

“Who asked you to do this?”

A somber voice came from overhead, and Alan’s face was full of pouting.

Wearing a mask, a hospital cleaner’s outfit and a volunteer red vest, Lexie volunteered to work as a volunteer at Renhe Hospital and today is her third day on the job.

When she saw Alan, she frowned, [This is my own business, please move aside.

Alan was furious and grabbed her wrist, ignoring her struggle, and dragged her directly into the hallway, “You’re not living a good life, but you’re here to make a fool of yourself, is this the life you want to live?”

Lexie was scratched raw, beautiful eyebrows wrinkled into a ball, but clenched his teeth.

[I like this kind of day].

“What days? The days of cleaning the hallways, looking people in the face, and groveling to the scoundrels who come to see you?”

Lexie doesn’t say a word, avoiding his gaze.

“Have you made enough noise yet?”

Alan’s voice sank, “These days, I allow you to move out and not interfere in any of your affairs, is to allow you to adjust your emotions, but that is this does not mean you can do whatever you want!”

Lexie slowly lifted her head, a sour nose under the mask, her eyes soon turned red, floating a watery mist, [Did you forget that the child is gone, I no longer have any relationship with you].
