Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 56: So scheming

Alia couldn't say a word. She almost stumbled and ran out of the house. She couldn't believe that the child in front of her was the one who used to be so close to her. He seems to be a simple and innocent little boy.

Alia leaned against the wall of the hallway panting heavily, so it seemed that she was the only one who was innocent, she was so naive!

Alia's worldview completely collapsed at this moment. She suddenly found that the world is not as simple as she thought. The pastor who was supposed to be kind and benevolent was a thoughtful villain in the mouths of others. , the young child who was supposed to be innocent and pure, was so terrifying, Alia clenched her fists tightly in front of her chest, she was suddenly a little confused now, what should she do after that?

"Miss Arya?" A gentle male voice suddenly came from beside Arya.

Alia turned her head suddenly as if she had been burned by something, and Evan's gentle smile suddenly appeared in front of Arya's eyes.

She felt a little nervous at the thought of her heart.

"B... Pastor Bruce?"

Evan looked at her like this, secretly groaning in his heart, and said softly: "Miss Arya, why are you here?"

As a guest of Cornwall Manor, it is not polite to walk around the manor at will.

Of course Arya could hear what Evan meant, her face flushed and she whispered, "I...I want to borrow the bathroom."

Such an excuse is not very appropriate in this day and age, but Arya can think of it at a time like this.

Evan didn't make any embarrassing expressions, just smiled and said: "Then I want to ask you to walk forward, the dinner time is coming, you have to come down quickly. "

Alia bit her lower lip, her shame and disdain for Evan twisted into a ball in her heart, but in the end she could only nod her head without saying a word.

Evan looked at Arya's bowed head and sneered in his heart. Little Edward in the original book was not a simple child. He was sensitive and dark, but all his feelings at that time were pinned on tenderness On Arya, he has done a lot of terrible things for Arya, but it is different now, Arya has no chance to have further intimate contact with little Edward like in the original book, this person has been replaced by It is not surprising that he has today's results.

Evan stood there with a cold expression, watching Arya walk stiffly into the lady's washroom, and the fact that Ferd got along well with the Hester father and daughter at Delane Lille Church. Sanders Madam had already told him that after going through the previous incident, this ruthless and serious lady had turned his senses over a hundred and eighty degrees. Ferd harbored such deep malice towards him, and he was not. Fool, naturally he won't let him act at will, and it's still on his own territory.

Evan's mouth evoked a sneer. Ferd wanted to choose a puppet with good control, so he would give him a surprise, let him feel it, Arya, this puppet, does it have What a control.

Evan went downstairs. He saw Duke Wilson standing among the guests from a distance, and the surrounding admiration was endless, but the expression on the Duke's face was very flat, only the moment he saw Evan , his eyes lit up, he stood out from the crowd, walked up to Evan, and said warmly, "You are finally here."

Evan looked up at the duke and smiled softly: "Lord Duke."

The people around saw Evan coming down, and they all gathered around to greet Evan. Now Evan He is a popular person around Duke Wilson, plus his status as a pastor, in the eyes of these people, his status is high a layer.

Colonel Mel is a loyal believer of Duke Wilson. He smiled and nodded at Evan: "Mr. Reverend, last time you said goodbye, your face looks much better now, how is your body now? "

Evan smiled politely: "Thank you for your concern, my health is much better."

Colonel Mel gave Duke Wilson a meaningful look, and suddenly said, "When will I be able to hear your Mass?"

Evan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I'll be back at Derain's Church this weekend. You and your wife are welcome to come to worship."

As soon as Evan's voice fell, Duke Wilson stiffened. He looked at Evan in disbelief and whispered, "You want to leave?"

Of course he's leaving. Now that he lives in Cornwall Manor, it's not a good thing to say.

"Sir Duke, my body has recovered. I am very grateful for your care these days, but serving God is my duty. I have been lazy these days. The church is very complicated. I can't stay with Sanders. Madam will handle it alone."

Evan's language is gentle and polite, and his words are well-founded. Duke Wilson could not find anything to refute for a while.

"But you..." The Duke opened his mouth with a complicated expression as if planning a murder.

Before the Duke could say anything, Butler Chris walked over and whispered, "Sir, it's time for the dinner."

Duke Wilson's face was very ugly. Butler Chris was taken aback, and he couldn't say what happened next.

"Take Edward out of the room and take the guests to dinner." The Duke said in a stiff tone.

Butler Chris nodded immediately, and didn't dare to say anything about the game that he had arranged before, so he quickly retreated.

When Butler Chris diverged, Evan had already turned his head and chatted with Colonel Mel. Colonel Mel was a well-informed man. His previous military experience gave him a good understanding of the world. Understand, obviously more profound than other squires, Evan and he chatted, but it did not violate the harmony.

It's just the admiration for the last Duke Wilson revealed by Colonel Mel's speech, which made Evan feel a little sour. He used almost all the praise language he knew in the current On the body, it seems that he is **** himself who came to the world, and the image is tall and somewhat false.

Evan certainly wasn't stupid enough to question these unknowingly glorified words, but just smiled and listened to his praise for the duke's outstanding military capabilities.

At this moment, Evan felt the burning gaze behind him. He pursed his lips, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't need to look back to know whose gaze was, but this time he wanted to disappoint Duke Wilson. Now, so many days of intimate contact is obviously enough, and his tactical tactic should be carried out without hesitation until Duke Wilson speaks.

Butler Chris gently tapped the glass in his hand and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to invite you to dinner on behalf of Lord Wilson."

He stretches his arm in the direction of the castle dining room, with a respectful and humble demeanor.

The people in the hall started to walk towards the restaurant one after another, but Duke Wilson was still standing there, Evan was about to leave with Colonel Mel, but the Duke suddenly said: "Pastor Bruce! "

Evan turned his head in surprise, Duke Wilson's expression was a little gloomy: "Please stay, I have something to tell you."

Evan was a little surprised, but still nodded, but Colonel Mel, who was with him, smiled strangely, turned and left.

"Lord Duke?" Evan asked tentatively.

Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a heavy expression, pursed his lips and said, "Are you really going to leave?"

Evan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "My body has fully recovered, and of course I can't rely on you all the time."

The change in Evan's expression was seen by Duke Wilson. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. He didn't have the slightest nostalgia at all.

"Evan!" he murmured in a somewhat angry voice.

Evan was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?" He looked at Duke Wilson with a look of surprise.

The duke was so angry that he was going to die, but he didn't dare to say anything. He clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Evan, don't go!" With the clear voice of a young child, the figure of a child slammed into Evan's arms like a small cannonball.

Evan was hit and staggered, but he still hugged the child who was holding his waist tightly with both hands. Evan caressed the back of the child in his arms and said softly: " Lord Edward, what's the matter with you?"

Edward's behavior finally eased the sullenness in Duke Wilson's heart. He suddenly realized that it was not bad to have such a sticky child.

"Pastor." Duke Wilson cleared his throat and whispered: "Look, Edward has no mother since he was a child, and he is so dependent on you, please take Edward's face and don't leave. "

Evan stroked Edward's back, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His patience for so many days was really not in vain.

"My lord, I am flattered by your friendship with Lord Edward, but my duty is to protect the glory of the Lord. As a priest, if I live in the mansion all the time, I am afraid it will be inconvenient, especially now that Foer Mr. De is still here, I can't ignore his strength, and I ask for your understanding, but please rest assured that if I have time, I will definitely come to visit you and Lord Edward, which is my promise."

Although I would like to see such a result, I cannot change my decision because of this. He will definitely stay in this place in the future, but he cannot stay in this form.

Edward held Evan's arm slightly tighter, he raised his head, looked at Evan with a very innocent look, and whispered: "Is what you said true? You can't lie to me !”

The power is still too small now. He had already heard about the power of the church when he was five years old, and now neither he nor his powerful father can do anything.

Duke Wilson's face was ashen. He also understood Evan's implication at this time. Now Ferd is eyeing Evan. If there are any bad rumors, I'm afraid he can't keep Evan and the public opinion of the society. It was enough for him to live rather than die.

"Of course I won't lie to you." Evan stroked the top of Edward's hair very gently, and said softly: "Lord, today is your birthday, everyone is waiting for you in the restaurant, or don't you? Keep you all waiting."

Edward nodded obediently, released the arm that bound Evan, and gently held his hand. He turned to look at the ugly Duke Wilson, smiled shyly, and lowered his voice. Voice: "Father, let's go in together."

Duke Wilson suddenly came back to his senses and was stunned when he saw Evan holding Edward, but Edward walked up to Duke Wilson very boldly, took his hand, and pulled Following him and Evan, they walked towards the restaurant together.

And this scene completely fell into the eyes of Arya, who had just come out of the bathroom. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and her jealousy bit her heart like a poisonous snake. .
