Chapter 12 2 Benjamin and Elijah rushed into the house and stood by Sebastian's side . 1 They looked at Catherine and Daniel excitedly and asked , " Grandma , Grandpa , did Mom really divorce Dad ? Is she not coming home anymore ? " Seeing the excitement in their eyes , Daniel and Catherine felt their heart grow cold . They remembered all the pain Eloise had suffered when she had been pregnant . They remembered how fragile Eloise had been when she pulled all- nighters to take care of the kids when they were sick . They remembered how Eloise had knelt before them and broken down in tears , how disappointed she had been toward her two children . Daniel and Catherine had also doted on the twins ever since they were babies . They had spent more time with the kids than Sebastian's parents had . But at that moment , they finally realized how much pain and despair Eloise had felt . Daniel's and Catherine's expressions turned cold for the first time as they stared at Benjamin and Elijah . " That's right . Your mom had do with you , either . " already divorced your dad , " Daniel said . " So from now on , she has nothing to do with the two of you . We'll have nothing to Catherine added , " Since you two like Iris so much , you can ask her to be your new mother . " Daniel and Catherine had never spoken to Benjamin and Elijah in such a harsh tone before , so the kids immediately threw a tantrum . " So what if we have nothing to do with each other ? " Benjamin retorted . Elijah chimed in , " Yeah ! Ms. Jones is so much better than Mom . We want her to become our new mom- " That's enough ! " Sebastian roared , cutting him off . At that moment , Iris rushed in and exclaimed , " Ben , Eli , you two shouldn't say things like that … " Daniel's and Catherine's anger immediately flared when they saw Iris , and their eyes turned red . Enraged , Catherine immediately chased them all out with a broom . " How dare you bring her to my home ! Get out ! Get out , all of you ! From now on , our family doesn't welcome any of you ! " The broom had hit Sebastian and Iris . Soon , the four of them were chased out of the Windsor residence , and the door was slammed in their faces . Iris was in so much pain that tears began to stream down her cheeks . However , her first instinct was to check on Sebastian . " Sebastian , are you hurt … " Sebastian suddenly took a step back and avoided her touch . His expression was slightly cold , and his gaze was sharp as he asked , " What are you all doing here ? " Iris ' hand froze midair , and she looked aggrieved . " I was picking Ben and Eli from school when they told me they missed their mom . So , I asked around for the Windsor residence , wanting to bring them over for a visit . " She quickly added , " They were just speaking out of spite earlier . Sebastian , don't be mad at them . They're still young , so we need to take our time to Meducate them . " Sebastian watched as Benjamin and Elijah quickly nodded in agreement . His suspicions subsided as he gave Iris a warning look . " The Windsor residence isn't somewhere you should be . " Then , he turned to the kids and said , " Eloise is your mother , and those people inside are your grandparents . You're not allowed to be so rude next time . " Sebastian had never been one to scold Benjamin and Elijah . Since he was always busy with work and spent little time at home , he always felt a little guilty toward them . . As the four of them headed down the stairs , Iris wanted to get in Sebastian's car with the two kids . い However , Sebastian stopped them and explained , " You three can take a cab back . There's still something that I need to do . " With that , he quickly got iniis car and drove off into the distance . He didn't even realize the dark expression Iris had on her face . Sebastian had been focused on arriving at the courthouse before their staff got off work . He had to verify if he and Eloise were still married or not . On his way there , his heart pounded rapidly . He clenched his hands so tightly that the veins in his arms were bulging . He couldn't explain the anxiety that was surging through his chest . He suddenly recalled that Eloise had been walking in the direction of the courthouse on the day of their car accident . The car came to a screeching halt as Sebastian parked his car at the entrance of the courthouse . He jumped out of the car and rushed in . After telling one of the staff his name , the staff nodded . " Yes , the divorce had already been processed . " As he spoke , he opened one of his drawers , took out a piece of paper , and handed it to him . The words " Divorce Certificate " printed at the top of the paper were like a stake piercing into Sebastian's heart . He suddenly stumbled back , looking slightly dazed . He was divorced , but how was that possible ? What on earth was Eloise thinking ? Eloise loved him so much , so how could she be willing to leave him and their kids ? Chapter 12 2/2 Something wasn't right . With teary eyes , Sebastian suddenly looked up and grabbed the staff by the collar . " Why did you issue this divorce certificate ? I've never signed my name on any papers . How could she file for divorce ? " His rage quickly shocked everyone in the lobby . Soon , someone came up to comfort him . " Sir , I'm going to need you to calm down . We only issue a document after processing all the relevant documents and going through the necessary procedures . " Noticing what had happened , the staff who had processed Eloise's case quickly looked through his folders . Then , he handed Sebastian a document . " Mr. Moore , this file contains all the documents that Ms. Windsor had submitted . Everything had been compiled and was within all the legal requirements . Sebastian opened the folder , and the first document that caught his eye was the divorce agreement . He froze momentarily before quickly flipping the agreement to the last page . His own signature was on the paper . Sebastian heaved heavily as his mind turned into a mess . NO Suppressing all the emotions running through his mind , he asked the staff when Eloise had submitted the divorce agreement and when she had collected the divorce certificate . After getting confirmation on the dates , Sebastian was able to confirm that Iris had been the one to get him to sign that agreement . At the time , she had claimed her dance club needed her family to sign a supporting letter . Sebastian's gaze darkened as he quickly turned to leave . サン
