Star Dome Railway: Give the man you love a home

Chapter 811 Jeppard x Original Heroine 21

After Xuexi ran out of the room, she rushed back to Shiluwa's room. Although her room was next to Shiluwa's, she still liked to sleep with Shiluwa.

After packing up, Xuexi collapsed on the bed. The scene of exposing her identity in front of Jeppard today kept appearing in her mind, making her toss and turn and unable to fall asleep.

Xuexi was playing with her cell phone out of boredom. Time passed by, but Shiluwa never came back.

Her curiosity grew, and she was curious about what Shiluwa and Jeppard were talking about.

So Xuexi got up, put on her clothes, slipped out of the room like a ghost, and tiptoed downstairs.

When she noticed Shiluwa and Jeppard chatting in a secluded corner, she crouched down and approached quietly.

Xuexi hid under the corner of the cabinet, pricked up her ears, and wanted to hear what they were talking about.

Shiluwa and Jeppard naturally noticed Xuexi's movements, especially Jeppard, whose eyes had already caught sight of her figure when Xuexi sneaked downstairs.

Knowing that Xuexi was listening, Xiluwa calmly changed the subject and asked a question that she had asked Jeppard before: "Have you ever done anything to let Xuexi down?"

On Jeppard's side, the moment he realized that Xuexi's true identity was Shirley, Jeppard also instantly understood why Shirley had avoided him for the past two years.

It was not only because Shirley, who was a wanted criminal at the time, was afraid of being caught by him, the garrison officer, but more importantly, Shirley must have misunderstood what happened that day.

So he honestly told everything that had happened in the past and his own mistakes.

Once, when Shirley asked Jeppard this question, Jeppard always thought that Shirley was dead and that it was meaningless to talk about these things.

However, now that Shirley was right in front of him, he had to explain to her exactly what happened that day.

"I'm sorry to her. I just recently found out the truth about that incident, and about that day two years ago in the hospital..."

Jeppard's tone was low and sincere, and very serious, as if every word contained regret and self-blame.

He recounted in detail what happened in the hospital that day and what happened to Shirley's grandmother. It seemed that he was confiding in Shirley, but in fact he was more apologizing to Shirley.

Xuexi listened quietly in the corner, and gradually, the fog in her heart began to dissipate. It turned out that this was what happened that day, and her grandmother's death had nothing to do with Jeppard.

Her grandmother had an unexpected emergency that day, and Jeppard, who was leading people to look for Shirley at the time, heard the news.

So Jeppard rushed to the hospital and saw Shirley's grandmother for the last time.

Recalling what happened in the past, Xuexi became absent-minded as she listened. When she came to her senses again, Shiluwa and Jeppard were no longer there.

Xuexi tiptoed out from under the cabinet, and as soon as she turned around and raised her head, she met Jeppard's gaze unexpectedly.

Xuexi looked away, not panicking even though she was caught eavesdropping. She walked straight past Jeppard and headed towards the refrigerator as if nothing had happened.

"Lily, do you really want to hide from me forever?" Jeppard followed closely behind. His eyes looking at Xuexi were cold on the surface, but there seemed to be deep affection hidden in his eyes.
