The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 285

The flowerpots, along with the soil and seedlings, were scattered at Sophie’s feet. As one of the seedlings nearly touched her, she instinctively stepped back, narrowly avoiding it.

Then, Dylan’s words hit her like a cold wave, and Sophie could no longer hide her expression. Her face immediately turned a shade of pure frustration.

“If Dylan doesn’t want to forgive me, then fine. I’ll leave.”

“Annie!”

Sophie raised her voice sharply, forcing down her anger. “Why are you still standing there? Get those seedlings picked up,

now!”

Annie hurried forward, carefully gathering the seedlings. “Lady Sophie, do you want the flowerpot and soil as well?”

“Why would I need that useless junk?” Sophie snapped. “Just go.”

Sophie shot Annie a furious glare, not even sparing Dylan a glance as she turned and stormed out.

Though Dylan had long seen through Sophie’s true nature, this was the first time she had truly revealed herself to him- unfiltered and completely unapologetic.

Or perhaps, it wasn’t that she was revealing anything new; it was just that she couldn’t hide it any longer, couldn’t suppress it anymore.

Dylan watched her leave, his expression unchanged. Once she was gone, he cast a glance at the scattered soil and fragments, then called for someone to clean up the mess before returning to his quarters.

Dylan had initially planned to leave. Had he not spotted that familiar figure on the street after leaving the Duke’s estate, he wouldn’t have learned what he did, and certainly wouldn’t have come back to this house.

One hour earlier, Dylan woke up later than Matthew. Maybe it was because he wasn’t hungry, or perhaps things were weighing on his mind, making him reluctant to wake.

After being knocked unconscious, he had remained out for a full day and night before regaining consciousness.
