Chapter 38 Is She the One You''re Marrying?
Mr. Stanley''s words left Lexie with no way to argue.
The entire family knew that the person n was going to marry at first was Edith, but the one who was
sent into the Howard family on the wedding night was her, a mute.
Not waiting for Lexie to answer.
"Yes," Diana immediately spoke, "I heard that someone was intimidating her own sister, saying that our
family is a tiger and wolf''s nest, and that n looks ugly and has a bad character, and then make a
generous appearance to marry into our family for her sister ......"
Lexie''s face changed.
[I didn''t say those words.]
"You are still arguing," Diana wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mr. Stanley.
"Alright, there''s no need to say more about what''s already true," Mr. Stanley looked at Lexie, his gaze
slightly sunken like n''s, causing Lexie to shudder.
"Miss Mitchell, since it was a misunderstanding in the first ce, why don''t we settle it properly? You
and n are indeed inappropriate to be together."
Lexie squeezed her fingers tightly and looked at Mr. Stanley in surprise.
Mr. Stanley said in a deep voice, "Not many people knew about this marriage, it''s good for both families
to stop the damage in time. We will give you somepensation, and the marriage will be called off."
Lexie looked at the people present, some gloating and some standing by.
She dreamed of leaving the Howard family, leaving n, but if she just left, would Peter let her go?
Would n let her go? The result was imaginable.
She shook her head against the overwhelming pressure.
Mr. Stanley''s face sank, "You don''t want to? Even the proper youngdy of the Mitchell family is not
good enough for our family, not to mention that you are an illegitimate daughter, for the Howard family
......"
The words ''illegitimate daughter'' fell on Lexie''s ears with the sting of a needle.
Her nails almost pinched into her palm.
"Grandpa," a cold voice came through the door, breaking the frozen air of the room.
Lexie jerked her head up, and saw n striding across the threshold, in a tailored ck suit, his tall
figure wrapped in a chill.
"n, you are here," Mr. Stanley looked faint, "just in time to get the divorce out of the way in front of
you."
"Grandpa," n nced at Lexie, "Lexie is my legitimate wife, marriage is not a child''s y, and I
haven''t considered divorce."
"Nonsense," Mr. Stanley''s face sank and his tone heaved, "You were marrying the Mitchell family''s
second youngdy, and they sent a ..."
"Grandpa!"
Before the word ''mute'' could be fully uttered, it was interrupted by n''s voice, "I never said that it was
the second youngdy of the Mitchell family that I was going to marry."
At the drop of a word, the entire room was silent.
Lexie was also stunned and looked at n in amazement.
"I''m marrying the Mitchell family''s daughter, never naming Edith," n''s words confirmed that what
they had just heard was correct.
Mr. Stanley looked puzzled, "Are you saying that it was Lexie that you wanted to marry in the first
ce?"
n didn''t say anything, and this tacit attitude made Diana crazy.
"n, you can''t be childish, how could you possibly be willing to marry a mute ......"
"Aunt, you probably don''t know me very well."
n nced at Diana, the chill in his gaze causing Diana to shut her mouth.
He hadn''t nned to bring Lexie here at all, and today grandpa suddenly called Lexie here in advance,
so he knew whose idea it was.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
n''s temper was on par with Mr. Stanley''s, the butler saw this and eased situation, "The dinner is
ready, why don''t we eat first?"
Mr. Stanley frowned, stood up on his crutches, and said lightly, "Let''s eat."
Lexie sighed in relief.
While eating, Lexie sat next to n, dressed inly but with dignity and generosity.
Seeing that n didn''t eat much, Lexie peeled the shrimp for him, leaving only a shrimp tail, which was
neatly ced on his te.
This scene fell in Mr. Stanley''s eyes.
Lexie had the rare atmosphere of a grand dame, if not a mute, it was not a bad idea to marry n.
After eating, n was called to the study by Mr. Stanley, and Lexie waited in the living room.
The maid served tea, and Diana talked to Tina.
"It''s been a while since I''ve seen you, Tina, and I heard that this time you areing back with the
intention of getting engaged?"
"Yes." Tina smiled.
"I heard that the other party is the eldest son of the Walsh family, young and talented, you are so lucky."
"Actually, I don''t want to get married so early," Tina seemed to avoid the engagement, and ncing at
Lexie at the corner of her eyes, she suddenly turned her words, "Hey, howe you and my brother
didn''t have a wedding?"
Lexie was drinking tea, she raised his head when she heard that, not knowing what to say.
Diana didn''t have a good mood and said, "Having a wedding is a joke for the Howard family? We can''t
afford that."
"That’s right."
Tina looked at Lexie, "Edith said that if I had told her earlier what kind of person my cousin was, maybe
it would have been her who married my cousin, not you."
Lexie was slightly stunned, not knowing what Tina meant by saying this.
"You peeled shrimp for my cousin, but my cousin didn’t even eat it, what is the point? What I despise
most is a woman who loves vanity and has no self-respect."
Tina did not speak in a loud voice, but that arrogant attitude was like stepping on people underfoot.
Lexie''s look grew awkward.
As they were talking, Tina''s cell phone rang, and Lexie was close enough to see the word ''Edith'' on the
caller ID, which was extraordinarily dazzling.
"Excuse me, I''ll take a call, Mrs. Stewart."
Tina took her phone and went out, and nced at Lexie with contempt as she was leaving, very
dismissive.
Diana slowly sipped tea, this trip was really not in vain, even if Lexie’s marriage temporarily could not
be withdrawn, but the cold attitude of the Howard family on her was enough for her to suffer.
She just didn''t believe it, in the long run, this mute would still be able to tough it out.
n was called into the study by Mr. Stanley.
Mr. Stanley said bluntly, "What exactly do you think of this marriage?"
n''s face was cold, "I won''t divorce Lexie for now."
"Why? I can see that you don''t like her, and if she were able-bodied, it is okay, she really doesn''t
deserve you."
"Grandpa, it doesn''t matter who I marry, as long as it''s the Mitchell family''s daughter."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Mr. Stanley was stunned and looked at n in surprise, only graduallying back to his senses after
a long time, "n, you''re not still holding a grudge over what happened back then, are you?"
Mentioning that year, coldness floated between n''s brows, his face sunken.
Mr. Stanley frowned, "I told you, that fire was an ident back then."
"It wasn''t an ident," n''s gaze was sure and cold, "The mountain fire was set by Peter to kill a
person."
