My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 76

Before Juliette could even finish her sentence, she felt a chill go down her spine as she experienced goosebumps.

Xyla had a frosty look on her face. She clenched her fists as hard as possible, and she didn’t even realize that her nails were already piercing through her flesh.

The scene of Sophia and Richard kissing each other at the pavilion last night kept replaying in her mind; she really wanted to slash Sophia into pieces every time she thought about the latter lying in Richard’s arms and calling him ‘hubby.’

After a while, she turned around and looked at Juliette impassively. Juliette was afraid to look up into her hawk-like eyes.

“Are you sure that’s what she said?” Xyla looked at Juliette coldly, looking as though she was about to kick Juliette if she said anything wrongly.

Juliette nodded immediately. “Yes, I’m sure of it—she said it herself. She even gave me a pocket-full of snacks so I wouldn’t tell anyone about this.”

She was sweating all over her back as she finished her sentence.

Xyla did not reply. The atmosphere became unusually dead and after about a minute, she finally said coldly, “Ha! It seems like the nails were not enough to teach her a lesson last time. You should head to your training first; don’t give her any trouble just so you don’t let the cat out of the bag. Meet me here after training at ten o’clock tonight.”

Juliette felt a sense of relief as she turned around and left.

She didn’t want to be Xyla’s accomplice, but her mother suffered from several heart attacks and required surgery. On the other hand, her father was working in Huff Technology; they were relying on the company’s sponsorship to fund her mother’s surgery. If she offended Xyla in any way, her whole family would be ruined.

Richard had stayed out all night thinking of ways to get Kayla out. Since Sophia refused to help, Kayla couldn’t clear off her allegations. In other words, his sister would definitely fail military training because of it and have a hard time graduating.

He kept thinking about it and came up with countless solutions, but all of his ideas were soon discarded by himself immediately.

The Fletchers! The Fletchers! If only he had a wider network of connections and knew someone from the Fletcher Family, the situation could be resolved. Unfortunately, he could only admire their presence from afar.

Since he was too engrossed with his own thoughts, he missed the time when the lights went off in the dormitory. Once the lights were off, the doors would be closed.

He didn’t make it in time to return to the dormitory, but Richard did not have to worry about getting his scores deducted because he was the student leader. Instead, he went to the infirmary and reported his ‘sickness’ in order to get a bed and slept through the night.

However, he did not expect to see Xyla crying as she came to get treated when he was about to leave the infirmary the next morning.

He felt bad when he looked at the way she cried and immediately went to comfort her. “What’s wrong, Xyla?”

When Xyla saw Richard coming out of the infirmary, her eyes dimmed for a split second, but it was quickly replaced with her pitiful tears. She showed him the wound on her hand and said aggrievedly, “I accidentally injured myself this morning.”

Richard accompanied Xyla as she got her wound treated before sending her off to the training ground. Xyla was so aggrieved that she kept holding onto his hand, unwilling to let go of him.

The two were acting lovey-dovey as they went to the field.

When it came to the couple’s mushy behavior, everyone was already accustomed to it. The marriage between the Harper Family and the Huff Family was bound to happen, and they had already released the news of their engagement to the public; it would probably be held after Kayla’s birthday dinner party.

There were many well-informed people in the camp. Last night, some students saw Richard going into the dormitory to look for Sophia before they went out together.

Richard and Sophia were both gone all night, and someone else saw a man dressed in his army uniform carrying Sophia into the infirmary; the man in his army uniform was a hundred percent Richard.
