Chapter 56
Mathew was right.
As they hurriedly found a horse and rushed to Saint Grace Nunnery in a carriage, they saw a group of nuns surrounding Dylan with sticks in hand. glaring at him angrily.
“Eliza, come out! It’s me, Dylan. I’ve come to apologize. Eliza, please come out and see me, won’t you?” Dylan shouted desperately from outside the Saint Grace Nunnery.
Standing at the entrance of Saint Grace Nunnery, Mary spoke coldly. “Sir, if you wish to apologize, do so here. I will pass your apology on to Serenity
“No. 1
Dylan shook his head. “I want Eliza to come out and see me. Since I’m apologizing to her, I should do it face–to–face
“That’s unnecessary Mary immediately rejected him. “Your temper is unpredictable. To avoid a repeat of what happened last time, it’s better if you don’t meet Serenity.”
Dylan stood frozen, confused. “What do you mean, don’t meet her again?”
I’ve made myself perfectly clear. Serenity has severed ties with Duke’s estate. She has riothing to say to you anymore. After you apologize here, you should leave. Do not come back to Saint Grace Nunnery again.”
Dylan clenched his fists in anger, glaring at Mary. “Is this your
decision, or Eliza’s?”
“Does it matter if it’s my decision or Serenity’s?” Mary said dismissively.
Dylan became even more agitated. “Of course it matters. Eliza is my sister. Why won’t you let me see her!”
Mary met Dylan’s eyes, now bloodshot with emotion, and said calmly Tm Serenity’s mentor, the only family she has now!
bylan felt the absurdity of her words. “Shut up. You’re not Eliza’s only family. She’s my sister. I’m her family. The Stonor family is her family” “Unfortunately, that’s only what you think,” Mary said with a cold smile. “Yesterday, the Duke of Mowbay declared to all of Hasen City that Eliza has been disowned by the Stonor family”
Dylan ground his teeth. “T
that,”
“Even if Father and the others don’t accept Eliza, I will. I don’t care. Eliza is my sister, and no one can change t
“Your sister!” Mary found his words almost laughable. “Do you remember what you did to your own sister half a month ago? You beat her so badly she was seriously hurt. If this is how you treat your own sister, then Serenity certainly doesn’t need a brother like you.”
“To. That’s not it.” Dylan tried to explain, “I was just desperate that day. I only wanted to bring her home. I—
“Enough. You don’t have to explain anything to me,” Mary interrupted him coldly. “No matter how many excuses you make, they can’t cover up the fact that you hum Eliza”
Hearing Mary’s words, Dylan opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to defend hitself. His hands fell helplessly by his sides, and he looked unterly defeated. “You’re right, Reverend. It’s all my fault”

Dylan kept apologizing, and in the end, he couldn’t hold back his emotions any longer. He broke down, crying uncontrollably.
The runs surrounding him looked at each other, stunned. They hadn’t expected him to suddenly start do. They all turned to look at Mary.

Mary gave a subtle look, and the nuns immediately lowered their sticks, stepping back behind her. “I’ve heard your Serenay Mary said rully.
Even though Dylan looked so patiful, crying so painfully, Mary showed no sign of compassion. After speaking, she motioned for the door to be sipard, leaving Dylan alone outside to continue crying
Matthew found Dylan truly embarrassing. He stepped forward and kicked Dylan. “Dylan, you really don’t have to cry like this, do you?”
Matthew, slightly impatient, scratched his head. To this rally how badly you want to make things right with Elizar
Dylan continued crying, completely ignoring Matthew’s wor

Chapter 56
Beside them. Sophie was so furious she could practically bite through her silver teeth, thinking. He beat Eliza so badly, and now he comes here saying he’s figured it out and regrets it?
g. This i
idiot really regrets it? Has he lost his mind?

were Eliza, there’s no way I would ever forgive this fool. Too bad I’m not Eliza. I’m Sophie:
Sophie took a deep breath, suppressing her disgust, and approached Dylan to advise him. “Dylan, stop crying. Even if you keep crying here, it won’t help 1 think Elira probably doesn’t even know you’re here yet. If you really want to make things right, you’re better off waiting until you get back and thinking of a better planı.”
Most importantly, Sophie had to get Dylan out of there. She didn’t want him to embarrass himself any further.
Sophie was seriously embarrassed. If it weren’t for maintaining her innocent and kind image, she would’ve already left this fool behind and gone
home.
“Did you hear what Sophie said? Since you’ve already apologized, you should just go. Whatever you need to say can wait until later. Father, Benedict, and Anthony are still waiting for you at home.
“These past few days, Father and the rest of us have been running around for you. We are exhausted. Can’t you have a little sympathy for us?” Matthew said, growing more impatient as he spoke.
Finally. Matthew gave up o
completely.
Forget it. Do whatever you want. Now that you’ve come out, whether or not you go home is up to you. Sophie, come with me,” Matthew said, taking Sophie and walking away.
In the end, Dylan was left alone outside Saint Grace Nunnery. He sat there, crying continuously. He cried the entire day, and it wasn’t until it was nearly dark that he finally stopped.
Dylan looked back in confusion at the door that would never open again, a flash of disappointment crossing his face.
Finally, he felt utterly drained, slowly standing up, glancing back three times before leaving Saint Grace Nunnery.
“Is he gone!” Eliza asked.
“Yes” Mary nodded helplessly. “Who does your brother take after? He has such a bad temper and cries so easily.” Eliza replied indifferently, “Mary, you’re wrong. He’s no longer my brother.”
Mary paused for a moment, then laughed. “Right, right. You’re absolutely right.”
“Eliza has truly given up on the Stonor family completely, Mary thought to herself
