In the carriage back to Hasen City, Benedict sighed and said, “What a pity today. If the Prince Regent hadn’t come, maybe I could have had a good talk with Eliza
Matthew, who was applying medicine, said impatiently, “Haven’t you figured it out yet? Even if the Prince Regent hadn’t come today, Eliza wouldn’t have a good talk with us?
“Matthew is right. Benedict, you shouldn’t say these words again Anthony’s voice in the carriage was indifferent. “Especially
in front of
Benedict frowned“.. swrong with saying this in front of Sophie? Sophie is kind and has always loved her. Even if you tell her this, shes n’t mind.
Hearing these words, Matthew and Anthony felt for the first time that Benedict was dumb
Matthew didn’t hesitate to accuse him. “It’s because Sophie is kind that you shouldn’t say these things, Benedict. Eliza is not a good person at all. Even if you persuade her to come back, she will still cause trouble at home. What if she hurts Sophie again? It’s not like Eliza hasn’t done this before! What will you do then?”
Benedict fell silent. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “She shouldn’t…
“What do you mean ‘she shouldn’t? Don’t forget that Eliza pushed Sophie into the water. Two months ago, she even deliberately ruined Sophie’s gown to sabotage her coming–of–age ceremony!” The more Matthew spoke, the more agitated he became.
Now, when he recalled being beaten at Saint Grace Nunnery and having to beg Eliza for forgiveness, he felt an endless. humiliation welling up in his heart, and he hated Eliza even more.
He asked, “Dylan, don’t play dumb. Don’t tell me you really hope Eliza will come back?”
There were two carriages prepared by the Stonor family. Sophie and Gabriel took the other one, while Benedict and his three brothers rode in this one.
Dylan had been sitting by the window, staring outside silently ever since he got into the carriage.
He didn’t turn to look at the other three until Matthew called him. Then he slowly shook his head.
“Look, Benedict, even Dylan doesn’t want Eliza to come back. What else can y finished speaking. Dylan said, “No, I hope Eliza will come back…”
you say to persuade us?” As soon as Matthew
“What?” Matthew looked at Dylan in confusion. “Then why did you shake your head just now!”
Dylan paused for a moment before continuing. “I shook my head because I don’t know whether it’s better for Eliza to come back or not.
Besides Nolan, Dylan was the only other person who had seen the look in Eliza’s eyes at that time. He felt that he couldn’t understand Eliza anymore.
Eliza’s eyes made him feel an inexplicable panic time and time again.
Especially this time, Eliza’s eyes were clearly looking at Matthew, so he wondered why he felt scared.
It was as if all of them had done something unforgivable to Eliza. So he really didn’t know what to do.
Two hours later, the carriage finally returned to the Duke’s estate.
“Father, we’ll go back to our rooms first. You should get some rest. Exhausted both physically and mentally, the Stonor

Caleb walked up to them quickly and stood beside Sophie immediately. “Where did you guys go today” he asked curiously, “Why weren’t any of you in the estate all afternoon? You didn’t come back until it was dark.”

Only Sophie reply to him with a smile. “We went to Saint Grace Nunnery this afternoon to celebrate Eliza’s birthday”
As soon as Caleb heard Ehra’s name, his face immediately fell “Why did you go to celebrate her birthday!”
Not only us, but even the Prince Regent went, Sophie said casually
Caleb’s expression changed dramatically. “What Why is he everywhere? Doesn’t he have anything else to do as the dignified Prince Regent?”
As if he was always hanging around Eliza all day long.
Shut up.” Gabriel glared at him coldly. After being beaten so many times, haven’t you learned to control your mouth!”
Though he was rebuking Caleb, Manhew, who was standing beside them, felt a burning pain on his face again.
Caleb didn’t dare to argue back. He could only curl his lips and say, “All right. I understand. Uncle. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone outside hear about this”
Gabriel snorted coldly and didn’t bother with him anymore.
He said. “Get out of my sight when you’re done! Then, he went to his study
Seeing that he was so angry, Caleb tumed around and asked inexplicably. “What’s the matter? Who made Uncle unhappy today?”
Benedict naturally said. “No one
There was no need for Caleb to know After all, he was not part of the Duke’s estate.
But even though they didn’t say anything. Caleb noticed something “Wait a minute, Matthew, who hit you in the face? How did it get like this?”
Before Matthew could cover his face, saw it and laughed at him mercilessly.
Matthew’s face instantly darkened. “Shut up, what’s so funny?”
He thought. This idiot Wasn’t he beaten up too? How dare he laugh at me
Benedict rubbed his forehead helplessly and explained, “Father hit him”
Caleb’s laughter stopped abrupdy. He asked in disbelief. “Uncle hit you in the face?”
Gabriel could be really scary when he was angry, but he rarely put his hands on anyone, especially not his own son
Caleb couldn’t bring himself to laugh anymore. He frowned as he realized something was going on and asked. “What

“The Prince Regent?” The more Caleb thought about it, the stranger it seemed. “Why does he always have a problem with you guys! And every single time, it’s because of Eliza”
A random guess suddenly slipped out of his mouth. “Don’t tell me he’s fallen for Eliza
