Star Dome Railway: Give the man you love a home

Chapter 857 Jeppard x Original Heroine 67

Feeling the soft touch on her lips and looking at the look in Jeppard's eyes, Xuexi stood there in a daze. She could feel that something was very wrong with Jeppard.

"You...two of you..." After seeing what Jeppard did, the mother was so angry that she trembled all over and almost fell down. Fortunately, she was supported by her father in time.

When he saw Xuexi standing there in a daze, Jeppard was startled, thinking that he had scared her, so he quickly returned to his normal expression.

After letting go of Xuexi's lips, Jeppard looked at Xuexi very gently with an apology that weighed a thousand pounds, and then glanced at Shiluwa outside the door.

Then, receiving Jeppard's gaze, Shiluwa came in and picked up Xuexi, who was half lying on the ground. The door was slammed shut.

"Brother, you're like a different person..." After leaving the room, Xuexi came to her senses and jumped out of Shiluwa's arms.

The look in her eyes as she looked towards the study seemed filled with endless worry, just like the sky covered with dark clouds.

"Don't worry." Xiluwa comforted Xuexi softly, like a spring breeze, and then led Xuexi back to the room.

The light in the study was on all night, and for Xuexi in the room, this night seemed as long as a century.

Xuexi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. It was not until nearly four or five o'clock that she fell into a deep sleep like a tired bird.

Brian kept sticking to Shiluwa and refused to leave Shiluwa's room, so Xuexi slept alone tonight.

In the second half of the night, Jeppard and his father stood quietly on the training ground like two silent mountains.

It was said to be training, but in fact it was more like Jeppard was enduring the baptism of a storm alone, and he endured it silently without saying a word.

His father waved his fists, and the punches fell like raindrops, but Jeppard was like an indestructible iceberg, without any abnormality.

However, his father's hand was aching slightly, simply because Jeppard's physique was too strong.

The mother didn't see that Jeppard was lying, but the father did.

My father has always understood Jeppard's character. He knows very well that, like the straight and strong poplar, Jeppard is an extremely honest and reliable person and a tough officer.

So it was impossible for Jeppard to do that to Shirley when she was only seventeen years old, and it was even more impossible for him to wait until now after having a child to step forward and take responsibility.

When the father beat Jeppard, his heart was filled with regret. He regretted that he had not protected his daughter well and had no idea what had happened to her.

"It's my responsibility. I failed to protect her." Thinking of Xuexi's matter, Jeppard's cold and handsome ice-blue eyes seemed to be filled with regret and self-blame.

"Dad, use this to hit me." Jeppard did not resist at all and even took the initiative to hand the tool to his father.

"I'll talk to your mother." The father took the tools handed to him by Jeppard, beat Jeppard like a storm for a while, and finally put down the tools in his hand.

After returning home, Jeppard, with scars of varying sizes on his body, walked straight to the door of Xuexi's room.

Looking at the half-open door, Jeppard wanted to close the door for Xuexi, but through the crack in the door he saw that Xuexi's quilt in the room was scattered like a messy cloud, and the air conditioner was whirring.

Jeppard's steps were so light as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping spirit. He walked slowly into the room, pulling his clothes tightly together, for fear that the smell of blood from his body would disturb the dreamer.

Jeppard stared into Xuexi's ice-blue eyes. They were no longer as cold as before. The love surging in those eyes was like a surging ocean or a burning flame.

While gently covering Xuexi with the quilt, Jeppard turned off the air conditioner with the remote control. This series of actions was so gentle as if he was protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

"Sorry..." Looking at Xuexi's angelic sleeping face, Jeppard's cold and handsome eyes were filled with apology like a surging tide, and regret was surging in them.

"Lily, will you go with him, will you leave me?"

After a long while, Jeppard's voice finally escaped from his throat. The voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it seemed to be trembling slightly and could die out at any time.

When Xuexi woke up the next day, Jeppard was gone. Xuexi then took Brian and Shiluwa to see her father, but her mother avoided Xuexi and was unwilling to meet her.

Xuexi was already satisfied with this outcome. After all, her parents did not kick her out of the house, and that was enough.

Xuexi knew very well that Jeppard played a crucial role in all this.

However, it seemed as if Jeppard was deliberately avoiding Xuexi in order to hide something. In the next two days, Xuexi was unable to see Jeppard.
