Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Dr. Hester was much thinner than when Evan saw him last time, but when he saw Evan, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Bo... Pastor Bruce?" He curled his lips in embarrassment, "Why are you here?"

Evan didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and still smiled gently: "I came to visit Mrs. Mel at the request of Colonel Mel."

Hearing what Evan said, Dr. Hester nodded as if suddenly realizing: "I almost forgot that you have a very good relationship with Colonel Mel."

When it came to this point, Dr. Hester had a complicated expression on his face. He looked straight at Evan. He didn't know what kind of mood he had for Evan. He might have admired Evan before, but Since the incident with Aliya, he found that his mood had changed a little.

Maybe it was apologetic or a little guilty, but more of it was a psychological barrier.

Alia was his daughter after all, and Dr. Hester favored Alia psychologically, no matter what wrong she had done.

"Doctor Hester?" Evan looked at the dazed Dr. Hester and said with some doubts.

Dr. Hester came back to his senses. He lowered his head in embarrassment, muttered something in a low voice, and then walked over Evan towards Mrs. Mel on the bed.

Evan looked at the back of Dr. Hester and raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Dr. Hester was completely unfamiliar to him, but this had no effect on Evan. Turning around and slightly hooking the corners of his lips, he didn't say a word.

Hester walked up to Mrs. Mel, and first listened to her heartbeat with a stethoscope. His expression was slightly surprised, and he turned around and asked about Mrs. Mel's current situation.

The butler answered respectfully, speaking very carefully, and even Evan couldn't help being a little surprised. Now that Colonel Mel's house is in turmoil, the old butler is still so loyal. It seems that Colonel Mel has put a lot of money into it. effort.

Dr. Hester nodded after hearing this, and when he turned to look at Mrs. Mel, a smile had already been put on his face, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Madam, congratulations. If my judgment is correct, you should be pregnant." Dr. Hester's voice was steady without any ups and downs.

Evan was taken aback, and immediately looked at Mrs. Mel, wanting to see her reaction, after all, this incident was too overwhelming.

Mrs. Mel sat there blankly, looking at Dr. Hester with some doubts, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"You...you mean..." Her lips couldn't help trembling, like dead leaves on an autumn branch, as if they were about to wither in the next moment.

"Is what you said true? Am I really pregnant?" She grabbed Hester's sleeve urgently, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Dr. Hester was a little surprised by her excitement, and couldn't help shrinking his hands, but he was very firm in his mouth: "Madam, I'm [-]% sure, but you still need further examination."

"Okay, okay!" The excitement in Mrs. Mel's eyes suddenly burst out, almost crazy: "I will definitely cooperate with your inspection."

Child, Charlie's child was broken in her stomach. Mrs. Mel gently lowered her head, looked at her lower abdomen, and stretched out to stroke it. She was very careful, as if she was touching some rare treasure.

Evan looked at her current state and couldn't help frowning. Mrs. Mel was pregnant, and he clenched his fists tightly. Colonel Mel is still in prison, and Mrs. Mel is pregnant now, so I don't know Is it bad or good, and...

Evan couldn't help but sneered. Colonel Mel said how affectionately he felt about his feelings for Sister Elisa, but this isn't about having children with Mrs. Mel. discounted.

"Congratulations, ma'am." To the excited Mrs. Mel and the servants of the Mel family, Evan interjected at the right time: "If Colonel Mel knows the good news, he will be very happy."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mel's face changed immediately, her smile disappeared visibly to the naked eye, and her eyes were stained with fear.

"Oh, Charlie, he is now..." Mrs. Mel couldn't help lowering her head, but her eyes were red.

Evan pursed his lips, ignored the dissatisfied housekeeper and Dr. Hester, and continued: "I know you are very worried about the situation of Colonel Mel, but he is in jail at this time, so it is good for your children , please help me."

Hearing what Evan said, Mrs. Mel raised her head with some doubts. There were still crystal tears on her cheeks, and her brown eyes looked innocent and clear.

"Help you?" she murmured. "How can I help you?"

Seeing that she finally asked this question, Evan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are very useful. Although I want to clear up the grievances of Colonel Mel, Colonel Mel I don’t know if you have any doubts, but I have been unwilling to open my heart to me, and Colonel Mel still feels a little guilty towards you, so I hope you can have a good talk with Colonel Mel, so that he can best confess Some."

Evan had thought about it a long time ago, since Duke Wilson could not intervene in this matter, then the only person who could speak to Colonel Mel might be Mrs. Mel.

Mrs. Mel looked a little dazed. She didn't seem to understand what Evan was talking about. She looked at Evan with flustered eyes, but her hands were tightly pressed against her belly.

"You... Do you want me to go to the prison to find Charlie?" She was a little vague when she said this, and she seemed a little nervous.

Evan thought about her status as a pregnant woman, and pondered for a moment: "You are pregnant now, and I will try my best to get it from Sheriff Chandler so that you can see Colonel Mel at home."

Hearing what Evan said, Mrs. Mel seemed to be relieved, and the face of the housekeeper next to him also showed a bit of joy. Only Doctor Hester gave Evan a strange look. He didn't notice it before. , It turns out that Evan is also such a...a person who is good at observing.

Dr. Hester couldn't find an adjective for the feeling he had just now, but felt a little weird.

Mrs. Mel agreed to Evan's request, and Evan felt relieved. Now that Colonel Mel is refusing to speak, since Sergeant Chandler's rigid methods are not effective, he can only use Mrs. Mel. Soft policy.

Evan found Sheriff Chandler and explained his thoughts to him. Sheriff Chandler also hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Evan's request, and he and He made an appointment to let Colonel Mel out to meet Mrs. Mel in two days.

Evan got Sheriff Chandler out of the way, and returned to the DeLandlea Church. When he returned, it was already night, and Mrs. Sanders had already fallen asleep. He went in and changed into his robe, and then went to It is customary to go to evening prayers.

His career as a pastor in the past few years may have formed a habit. He has long been accustomed to praying in the morning and evening, and he has to do it every day, and it has never been interrupted for so many years.

Evan knelt down in front of the Jesus statue, looked at the aloof Jesus, and suddenly felt a little confused in his heart. Although he was a pastor, he had never believed in these vain things. He only believed in himself, but at this moment At this moment, in such a quiet night, the uneasiness and worries in his heart over the past year suddenly flooded towards him like a tide.

Evan slowly closed his eyes, and he silently recited the most ulterior worries in his heart word by word.

I hope the Duke never knows what I am.

When this line of words appeared in Evan's mind, he was surprised. Is this his greatest fear?Evan was a little confused. He looked at the icon bathed in the moonlight, his eyes blurred.

But the next moment, his gaze suddenly became sharper, and he stood up abruptly from the ground, staring at the statue, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was so!It was so!

He couldn't help but want to laugh, but because of the situation at this time, he had to stop his smile.

Now that he has made a breakthrough in this matter, other things are clearly unfolding in front of his eyes at this time. Evan lowered his head, and he clenched his fists. What is needed at the time is evidence, and we still have to be careful in this matter, otherwise it will fall short.

Evan's heart was surging at this time, as if the worries about himself and Duke Wilson just now had dissipated, he let out a long breath, with a determined expression on his face.

He also stopped praying, turned around and left the church with big strides.

Evan didn't sleep very well that night. The turning point of this case made him toss and turn. Now he needs evidence and time to prove his conjecture.

It wasn't until dawn that Evan fell asleep vaguely, but he closed his eyes just now, and was awakened by his servant Tom the next moment.

Tom's face was a little anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Pastor, the Duke is here."

The duke is here?This sentence completely woke up Evan, who was still a little confused.

He sat up suddenly from the bed, and the clothes that Tom had prepared a long time ago were quickly handed over. Evan put on the clothes by himself, but he was thinking in his heart, what is the purpose of Duke Wilson's visit? It's early, it doesn't look like his style of acting.

Evan packed himself up as quickly as possible, and walked downstairs.

He saw Duke Wilson at a glance. He was sitting at the dining table with a leisurely expression, as if he was not in a narrow and simple restaurant, but in some gorgeous castle.

He also saw Evan, and a smile quickly appeared in his cold eyes, and he stood up from the chair.

"Are you awake?" After saying this, he noticed the blackness in Evan's eyes, and his eyes sank: "Did you not rest?"

Evan's heart softened suddenly, he smiled and waved his hands: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, you come today..."

He turned around and glanced at Tom. A trace of grievance appeared on Tom's gossiping face, but in the end he left without turning his head. At this time, only Evan and Duke Wilson were left in the restaurant.

"What do you have? Charles?" Evan walked to Duke Wilson and whispered.

Duke Wilson couldn't help but put his arms around Evan. He pressed Evan's ear and whispered: "I heard that you are going to let Mel meet his wife, and I want to see it too."

Evan was taken aback for a moment, and broke away from Duke Wilson's grip a little bit. He looked at him carefully. They only agreed on this matter last night, and Duke Wilson actually found out today. It was really too fast.
