Chapter 22 Sebastian and his sons didn't dare bother Eloise again . But that summer , they went to Regentwell Street every day just to catch a glimpse of her from a distance . That was enough for them . Eloise's days remained busy and fulfilling . All of her chain stores in Eidolen had opened and were running smoothly . As summer break came to an end , Eloise planned to return to Yarnell with Colin . Before leaving , she arranged to meet with Sebastian and his sons . She pushed a white envelope in front of Sebastian as she slowly said , " This is the child support for Benjamin and Elijah . " Whatever faint hope the three of them still held vanished instantly . Sebastian opened it , seeing a bank card inside . Benjamin stared at the card , then suddenly stood up , saying angrily , " I don't want your money ! If you don't want us anymore , then what's the point of pretending with this ? " Elijah bit his lip . He was heaving , his eyes shimmered with unshed tears . " Dad can take care of us . We don't need your money . Can't you just … " His voice trailed off , as he couldn't go on . Elijah wanted Eloise to change her mind about them . He wanted her to come see them more often , though he knew that wasn't going to happen . Sebastian pressed his lips tightly together , pulling Benjamin back into his seat upon seeing the coldness in Eloise's eyes . He then looked at her and pleaded , " Can you meet with them regularly ? We won't take much of your time . " Eloise shook her head . Her calm was chilling . " Living expenses and child support are my responsibility . You don't have to spend the money , but I must give it . I'm getting married . I'll have a new life . From now on , let's not interfere in each other's lives . " She then turned to Benjamin and Elijah . " I wish you both a peaceful life . " With that , Eloise stood and walked out of the cafe . The three were silent for a few seconds . Eloise's figure grew smaller and smaller as she approached the crosswalk . Suddenly , Benjamin and Elijah took off running toward her . Sebastian's heart jumped as he chased after them . A delivery truck blared its horn , speeding toward the teenagers who had dashed straight into the road . Sebastian's eyes widened in horror , his mind going blank . Acting on instinct , he rushed forward and shoved Benjamin and Elijah aside . He was sent flying . A pool of blood quickly formed beneath him . " Dad ! " Benjamin and Elijah's cries were heart - wrenching . Onlookers quickly gathered and rushed to help . Eloise froze at the sound . In the end , she turned back to help get Sebastian to the hospital . Sebastian was rushed into emergency surgery . After several hours , he was finally out of danger and wheeled out . Eloise paid the medical fees before turning to leave without a word . Brandon waited with Colin qutside the hospital , both of their faces looked pale and tense . When Eloise came out , Colin ran toward her and threw his arms tightly around her waist . Brandon studied her carefully . Concern filled his eyes , mixed with unease and caution . " Are you okay ? " Eloise held Colin's hand with her left and placed her right hand into Brandon's outstretched one . " I'm fine . Let's go , " she replied , smiling faintly . She had already informed the Moore family about what happened . What came next had nothing to do with her . She needed to return to Yarnell . Not only was Colin starting school soon , but she and Brandon had a wedding to plan . Two days later , Sebastian woke up . His sons sat at his bedside , their eyes bloodshot . The moment they saw him open his eyes , their tears fell . Sebastian , however , was still a little dazed . While he was unconscious , he had a long dream . In the dream , Eloise hadn't divorced him . She had always been treating all three of them well . But they had constantly revolved their life around Iris , ignoring Eloise completely . They had abandoned her again and again to be with Iris . They had never truly cared about Eloise , nor had they ever seen Iris ' true nature . He even saw Eloise living alone in a nursing home , being abused by the caretakers . She called them over and over , but they were too busy with their own lives and work . They were also so busy with Iris that they never answered Eloise's calls . Sebastian remembered the tear Eloise shed before she died in that dream . His own tears then started to fall . Looking at his worried sons , he said slowly , " Ben , Eli , don't blame your mom . She didn't do anything wrong . We're the ones who did wrong . " His tears fell endlessly . With reddened eyes , Benjamin and Elijah nodded repeatedly . " Dad , we know we were wrong . We won't bother Mom anymore . " Three months later , in Yarnell , Eloise and Brandon held their wedding . Colin , dressed in a little suit , was the ring bearer . The entire Windsor family attended , smiling warmly from the audience . After the wedding , someone handed Eloise a letter containing apologies and wishes of happiness from Sebastian , Benjamin , and Elijah . Eloise glanced at it , took the lighter from Brandon's hand , and lit the envelope . The letter burned to ashes in no time . She looked at the man in front of her while listening to the laughter of Colin and the Windsor family in the distance . Eloise smiled happily . づく
