Rachel Wood was badly hurt, but she still wanted to live with Sebastian Brenand, so they had to give her parents a valid reason.
They felt hurt and sympathized with what happened to their daughter, but they were also very pleased with how responsible Sebastian was.
He didn’t mind what happened to Rachel and still loved her deeply, sacrificing so much for her.
Her parents were very touched by his decision to leave the Brenand family.

As gratitude to his friends for their help, Sebastian and Rachel invited Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, Gary Lakes, Henry Armstrong, Georgie Clementine, Josh Batton, and Annabeth Cates to Dream Garden one evening for dinner.
Rachel’s parents had prepared a feast for them, and everyone had a great time dining together.
It was the first time her parents had met so many wealthy folks, so they were on their best behavior.
Everyone went home after the meal.
Stanley drove Xyla home carefully, showing her around as he knew how bored she had been at home lately.
She could finally relax now that everything was resolved.
Reaching for her husband's hand, their fingers interlocked. “Now that everything has returned to the way it was, I hope nothing will happen to any of us anymore,” Xyla said as she gazed at the night scenery ahead.
She hoped their family, as well as Sebastian and the others, would all be fine.
She didn’t know if others would go through a tough time, but she and Stanley’s lives were bound to be full of troubles.
Xyla was only saying these things to console herself.
Stanley frowned slightly. “Yeah.”
As their car passed a milk tea vendor, she looked eagerly at her husband. “Honey, can I have a cup of sundae? I haven’t had anything cold for a long while.”
Sharon Lindt had been very strict with her diet recently, not allowing her to eat whatever she wanted yet.
