But in cut moment , it felt less like a burden and more like a key a key that unlocked a flood of memories , memories that came rushing back all at once .
He remembered how unfairly he had treated Elaine Because manca liked Finley , he never stopped to thank .
He just assumed , since Bianca had feelings for him and Finley reciprocated , it was only natural for him to step in .
He genuinely thought Flaise shouldnt cause trouble over a man , especially if it upset him and his mother .
He had preswired Elaine , subtly forcing her to step aside for Bianca , to to give up Finley Its just one man , night ? But he never considered that , from the very beginning , Elaine had already given up so much too much to even count .
At first , Elaine hadnt obeyed his plan .
She had argued , protested , calling him unfair .
And in return , he labeled her as cold , selfish .
He said it was no wonder no one in the family liked her , that she was always competing with Bianca , always trying to prove herself superior Elaine , Bianca is so kind .
Why are you so narrow minded ? Elaine , you will never be as good as Bianca .
Those words , those accusations , had echoed in Showns mind like thunder , each one striking harder than the last Then , when Kingsley announced his intention to marry Elaine , to make her his fiancée , Shawn had arrogantly thought that Flaine was using Kingsleys name to suppress Bunca .

Our bond is broken .
The pain in Shawns temples had surged .

But there was nothing more he could do .
He had to comfort himself with the idea that maybe things werent as bad as he feared .
When faced with Tuckers accusations , Shawn could only shout , Tucker , why didnt you say any of this sooner .
Why didnt I say it soon ? Tucker had given a hollow laugh , weak and empty .
Because , Shawn , Im just like you .
Were brothers , so were the same .
Self righteous .
But whats the point of saying any of this now ? Elaine no longer cares about us .
From now on , we can only regret and repent in a world without Elaine .
This is your punishment .
And mine .
Tucker had murmured these words , then suddenly laughed again , bitterly .
Elaine , if she knew how much we regretted , shed probably find it disgusting , right ? Honestly , we dont deserve any of it .
But maybe she doesnt care at all .
After all , in this family , she had long since given up on all of us For days , Tucker had been locked in his room , wrestling with a single question : Elaine was our sister .
But what did we ever do for her ? Ever since her return , had she ever spent a single happy day in this house ! Now , thinking about it , Tucker had felt disgusted with himself , How could they treat their own sister this way ? If we her own family , were so cruel to her .

The busy pace of his life had worked wonders .
