Dylan hurriedly explained in a panic, “No, Eliza! Since I’ve come to understand everything, I no longer dare to ask for your forgiveness. I know that these words are not enough to make up for the mistakes I made before, so I just want to ask you, can you give me a chance to make up for all the grievances you have suffered?”
Dylan looked at her with pleading eyes and asked, “Can 1, Eliza?”
“No.” Eliza shattered his delusions without hesitation.
Eliza shattered his delusions without hesitation.
Her eyes were cold and ruthless. “Why should I give you such a chance?”
She had pleaded countless times in her past, but no one had ever given her a chance.
“Don’t bother me anymore.” With those heartless words, Eliza stepped past him and left.
With those heartless words, Eliza stepped past him and left.
Dylan was left standing there alone, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, when he finally looked up, his face was already wet with tears.
He thought, ‘What should I do…?
‘What else can I do?‘
Unable to find any way to repair his relationship with Eliza, Dylan was lost.
He said, “Mother, if only you were still here.”
His mother was the best at coaxing Eliza. If she were still here, she would definitely be able to teach him how to win her
back.

Meanwhile, on the other side.
After leaving the Duke’s estate, Eliza boarded a carriage arranged for her by Nolan.
Sitting in the carriage, she closed her eyes, her face etched with exhaustion.
Just as she was about to take a short nap in the carriage, a tall figure suddenly entered.
Eliza opened her eyes and was startled. “Your Highness, why are you here?”
It was not that Nolan could not ride in the carriage, but Eliza was the only one in the carriage now. If Nolan got in and someone with ulterior motives saw them, it might damage Nolan’s reputation.
“Your … Your Highness, you’d better…” Eliza said with some embarrassment, wanting him to go down and ride a horse, or take another carriage, but before she could finish her words, Nolan suddenly asked her, “Does it hurt?”
Eliza was stunned.
She didn’t know what Nolan was asking.
After asking, he laughed at himself guiltily. “I’m so stupid. how could that kind of whip not hurt?”

She thought, ‘You’re talking about the whip of the Duke’s estate?‘
Eliza’s eyes flickered, and she fell silent as she reacted.
Nolan then said, “I’m sorry…”
Eliza, who had heard someone apologize to her for the second time today, opened her eyes wide in surprise.
She asked, “Why are you apologizing to me?”

Nolan’s voice was filled with remorse, “I should have stopped you that night, you should have seen the physician with such a serious injury.”
But he didn’t do anything at the time.
It wasn’t until the next day that he learned that Eliza, with such an injury on her back, had begged her way up to Saint Grace Nunnery for her life.
At that time, he was merely somewhat emotional about it, but now he just wanted to scold himself for being such a fool.
T
Seeing such an injury, he wondered how he could have been so indifferent.
For the first time, Nolan, who had never felt there was anything wrong with being indifferent, hated himself for being so cold.
If he had only held Eliza back then, perhaps he could have at least spared her some pain.
Nolan felt it was karma.
All the indifference he felt back then had now turned into heartache.
In the end, he could only y repeat those words to Eliza in a pathetic manner, “I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry…”
