The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 419 419.Chapter 419 "That voice..."Dylan's brows furrowed slightly as he heard voices coming from outside..

He thought. What are they doing here?" Sophie said, "Dylan, open the door already!" Matthew said, "Con, Dylan, I know you're still awake! The lights are on. Just let Sophie andin!" Dylan had no intention of opening the door at first, but the racket outside was impossible to ignore.

This tof night was usually calm and quiet.

But tonight, the peaceful atmosphere had been completely ruined by their noise In the end, Dylan reluctantly went to open the door for them.

As the door creaked open, Dylan stood at the entrance, his brows furrowed in irritation as he stared at the two troublemakers outside.

"What are you two doing here at this hour? Shouldn't you be back at the Duke's estate?" Dylan asked, clearly annoyed "Hold on, Dylan! Let us in first, will you? We're completely wiped out. If I don't sit down soon, my legs are going to give out!" Sophie said, her voice full of exhaustion.

Without waiting for a response, Sophie and Matthew shoved past Dylan like they owned the place.

"Hey, you two," Dylan started to protest But before he could stop them, they had already pushed him aside.

By the tDylan closed the door and turned around, the two of them had already drained his teapot dry. "Dylan, got any more water? We're dying of thirst!" Matthew called out, wiping his mouth.

wood! Anything to eat? We've been walking for hours, and I'm starving!" Sophie chimed in, equally desperate.

It had taken Sophie and Matthew a grueling six hours to get there, and that was after shamelessly hitching a ride on a passing cart for part of the way.

Even with frequent stops to rest, the journey had left them utterly exhausted, parched, and starving.

Being tired was manageable, they could always stop to catch their breath, but the hunger and thirst were unbearable. They had nothing on them, no food, no water, and not even a single coin to buy anything.

They had no choice but to push through the discomfort, trudging on until they finally arrived at Dylan's place in the dead of night.

Luckily, Dylan hadn't gone to bed yet. The warm glow of candlelight from his hut stood out like a beacon in the pitch-black night.

Otherwise, with the darkness outside, they might never have found this tiny thatched hut at all.

"What's up with you two? Didn't you take a carriage here?" Dylan immediately noticed something was off.

They were clearly here for a reason, but they con foot and in such a sorry state, too.

As he spoke, he casually grabbed two rock-hard biscuits from the comer and handed them over. "Here, eat these." Sophie and Matthew stared at the biscuits in confusion.

"Are these even edible?" Sophie asked hesitantly.

She tried squeezing one, but it was cold and solid as a rock, completely unyielding.

Dylan caught the look of disdain on her face and said coldly, "If you don't want it, just put it down." He could always eat it himself later.

Matthew quietly tugged at Sophie's sleeve and shook his head slightly.

Reluctantly, Sophie said, "Sorry, Dylan. L... I'm not saying it's inedible. It's just so hard I'm worried I can't bite into it. Could I have something else instead?" "No." Dylan rejected her flatly. "This is all I've got. Eat it or leave it." Sophie couldn't hold back. Her face darkened Successfully unlocked! Matthew frowned at Dylan's tone and attitude. you" Sophie like that? She hasn't done anything Dylan shot him a cold glare. "Eat your biscuit and mind your own business. If you're not happy, you both can leave." Normally, Matthew would have walked away without hesitation.

But now, leaving wasn't an option.

Not only could he not leave, but he and Sophie had to shamelessly stick around.

If they failed this time, their father might truly never give them another chance.

So, for both his sake and Sophie's, Matthew had to endure it Matthew clenched his teeth, swallowed his pride, and finally spoke again, his tone subdued. Im sorry. Dylan. My attitude earlier was wrong. Please don't be mad at" Sophie, seeing Matthew's change in demeanor, quickly followed suit. She pressed her lips together and lowered her head." Dylan, it wasn't Matthew's fault. It's my fault for being too picky. I can eat it? To prove her point, she forced herself to ignore her disgust, closed her eyes, and took a fierce bite of the biscuit However, she nearly chipped a tooth. It was unbelievably hard.

Her teeth ached so much she was on the verge of tears, but she still managed to bite off a piece and swallow it, tears streaming down her face What Sophie didn't realize was that her exaggerated reaction only deepened Dylan's suspicion He thought, 'Sophie never used to touch stuff like this. How cshe actually ate it today?

Back when Sophie first returned to the Duke's estate, she would often drop subtle hints about how much hardship she had endured before. But whether she truly went through all that, none of them could say for sure.

Ever since she cback, their father and the rest of them had gone out of their way to make up for her, spoiling her with the finest delicacies.

And yet, today she had that biscuit Just moments ago, she was clearly disgusted by it.

Dylan narrowed his eyes slightly. "What's the deal with you two showing up so late tonight? What are you really here for?" Matthew paused for a beat before replying, "Nothing, really. It's just been a while since we've seen you, Dylan. We missed you, so we thought we'd drop by." Dylan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Matthew, I'm your twin brother. Do you really think I can't tell when you're lying through your teeth?" Matthew forced a smile. "Con, Dylan, don't be so harsh. Sophie and I really just wanted to check in on you, isn't that right, Sophie?" "Yeah, Matthew's absolutely right, Sophie chimed in.

Completely unaware that she'd already blown their cover, Sophie kept nodding along.

Dylan let out a sharp laugh. "Alright, you've seen me. Now get out. I won't stop you." Matthew quickly interjected, "Wait, Dylan! It's so dark outside now. Why don't you let us stay here for the night?"

"Oh, so you do realize how dark it is?" Dylan sneered. "If you knew that, why didn't you cduring the day? Do you really takefor a fool? Matthew, last chance. What's your real reason for coming here? If you don't spill, get out right now!" Matthew jumped to his feet, but Dylan's hand clamped down on his shoulder, making him wince in pain.

"Speak!" Dylan's gaze grew increasingly dangerous.

Seeing Matthew about to break, Sophie quickly blurted, "Alright, Dylan, we'll talk!" Subscribed 1 Likes FO 420 Chapt 420.Chapter 420
