"Dn, have you lost your mind?" Matthew looked at Dn in shock.


    They had nned to take Dn to apologize, but his willingness to do so was beyond surprising


    "Did those eightyshes knock the sense out of you, or did sitting in that cell for so long make you stupid!" Matthew asked with a hint of disdain.


    Sophie hesitated for a moment. "Dn, are you sure you are okay?"


    Dn had not expected such a big reaction from them over a simple statement. He rolled his eyes.


    Then Dn spoke about what he had been thinking during his time in prison. To be honest, the moment I hit Eliza that day, I regretted it. These past few days, Dn had repeatedly recalled the look in Eliza''s eyes from that day. It was unbearable to think about. Dn could not understand how, in such a short time, Eliza''s gaze toward him had turned into one of sheer hatred. Dn had gone to Saint Grace Nunnery simply to bring Eliza home, never expecting such an ext


    And then, Eliza had bitten bir so hard that it felt as if she wanted to tear his flesh apart. Of course, in the end, she seeded. She had t Chunk of his hand

    had taken an

    But either way, the thought had haunted him day and night, leaving him restless. Dn truly regretted everything now,


    Looking back, he realized that Benedict had been right all along. For the past six months, Dn had failed to control his temper,ying his hands on Fiza more than once. Perhaps that was why she feared him so much.


    Now that everything was clear to him, Dn felt he owed Eliza an apolloj

    Sophie sighed. "Hut Dn, Eliza has already cut ties with the Stonor family."


    "I know. She made a huge fuss about severing ties after she became a nun, Dn said, not yet grasping the full meaning of her words.


    Matthew spoke with a nk expression. "Dn, this time, it was not just her throwing a tantrum. Father has removed her name from the family tree. She is no longer a daughter of the Stonor family"


    Dn froze. His face went rigid, his eyes widening in disbelief. "What did

    Matthew repeated himself. Father erased her name from the family tree. If you do not believe me, go back and check for yourself. Hut for now, let us head to Saint Grace Nunnery. Once you apologize to Eliza, she will be out of our lives for good."


    "Shut up" Dn suddenly stood up inside the carriage, hinting his head on the roof with a loud thud but he ignored the pain.

    Matthew frowned. "So what? Star is an unruly disgrace who is unfit to be our sister, let alone a daughter of Duke''s estate
