Chapter 13 By the time Sebastian returned home , Benjamin and Elijah were outside , playing ball in the backyard . Meanwhile , Iris was busy cooking in the kitchen . Upon seeing Sebastian , Iris coyly held out her hand and said , " Sebastian , I've hurt my hand . It still stings , so help me blow on it . " Sebastian glanced at the almost fully healed wound . For some inexplicable reason , he suddenly thought of Eloise . He remembered how Eloise would also often get hurt in the kitchen . Sometimes , she accidentally cut herself , while other times , she'd get splashed by the hot oil . When they first got married , Eloise had also asked him to blow on her wounds . However , he had merely pushed her hand away and said , " If you can't cook , then don't . " From that day onward , Eloise never came to him for such trivial things again . She would just quietly sit by herself as she tended to her wounds , but she'd never let it delay her from her cooking . Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his heart as guilt washed over him . It was at that moment that he finally realized how badly he had mistreated her . Sebastian coldly shoved Iris ' hand away and looked her in the eyes . He said coldly , " Did you purposely trick me into signing my divorce agreement with Eloise ? " Iris ' heart dropped as she bit her lip pitifully and answered , " Yes … " Tears streamed down her cheeks as e asked , " Sebastian , are you blaming me ? Ms. Windsor came to me , asking for my help . She said … " Iris glanced at him before continuing , " She said she doesn't want you and the kids . She also said a bunch of awful things . Sebastian , I had been so mad when I first heard her . I couldn't stand her slandering you like that . " I admit that I had selfish intentions in doing so . It's because I love you , and I want to be with you . I promise I'll take care of Ben and Eli as if they're my own . " She slowly inched closer before wrapping her arms around Sebastian's waist . With his face turned to the other side , Iris smiled victoriously . But then , her smile froze . Sebastian had forcefully pried her hands off and pushed her away . His gaze was unreadable , and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice . " Iris , I've never planned to divorce Eloise . " " Then what am I to you ? " Iris couldn't help but raise her voice , nearly allowing the mask she had to slip away . Sebastian stared at her . He wasn't sure what Iris was to him . She had been his first love and someone whom he had once loved with all of his heart . She was the one who had left her with a lot of unresolved feelings . When Iris had gone abroad , she continued to stay in contact with him , sending him mixed signals . He couldn't help but be drawn to her . However , he had never once planned on divorcing Eloise . Eloise was his wife and the mother of his children . She was someone he was destined to spend the rest of his life with . If Iris had wanted to stay by his side , he would have taken care of her . However , he would never marry her . Sebastian opened his mouth , but in the end , he just said , " I need some time to think . " Once Sebastian had returned to his room , Iris could no longer suppress the anger in her heart . She swept everything off the stove in a fit of fury . Benjamin and Elijah came running over . " Ms. Jones , are you alright ? " Iris quickly composed herself and pulled the boys over . " Ben , Eli , now that your mom and dad are divorced , there's no one to take care of you at home . " You two should talk to your dad - persuade him to marry me . Once I become new mom , I can make all your wishes come true . " Benjamin and Elijah immediately ran into Sebastian's room and began persuading him , Half an hour later , Sebastian came downstairs as he rubbed his temples . Iris had already served dinner , but Sebastian had no appetite . He looked at Tris and said , " Iris , Ben and Eli like you a lot . Thank you for all your hard work in taking care of them . From now on , you'll be fully responsible for their well - being . " Seeing that he was about to leave , Iris quickly ran after him . " Sebastian , then what are we ? " Sebastian didn't even turn as he said flatly , " Give me some time to think things through . I'll stay at the academy this month . " He proceeded to leave without hesitation , not noticing the growing hatred in Iris ' expression. Benjamin and Elijah were also oblivious to it as they cheered and sat down to eat . As soon as Sebastian drove off , Iris grabbed the tablecloth and flipped the table filled with food . The twins screamed in shock as Iris stared at them for a few seconds . Suddenly , she chuckled and asked , " You two don't want to go to school anymore , Chapter 13 right ? " Benjamin's and Elijah's eyes brightened as they nodded . 2/2 Iris took out a phone book and dialed their teacher's number . " Hello , I'm Benjamin Moore and Elijah Moore's guardian . Something came up at home , so they'll be taking a break from school for a while . " Benjamin and Elijah cheered excitedly , oblivious to the kind of life that awaited them next . e
