Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 45 Ambiguity

Duke Wilson trembled as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. The name came out of Evan's mouth. I don't know if it was his illusion, but it always carried a lingering meaning, making him seem to be soaked in warm water Well, for a while, the whole person was a little confused to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

He stared at Evan blankly, not knowing what to say.

Evan looked at him and smiled: "What's wrong with you?"

Duke Wilson reacted in an instant, and his face became a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips, with a trace of discomfort in his expression.

"It's okay, my friend..." He paused slightly: "Evan."

When the name was called out, Evan was also taken aback by the firmness in his tone, but Evan still had a gentle look on his face, and he smiled softly: "You call my name like that, which makes me always It's a strange feeling."

Duke Wilson clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "It's good that you don't feel offended."

Evan smiled: "It is my honor to form a friendship with you."

Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to ask, "How are you doing today?"

Evan smiled: "Thank you for your concern. I am doing well. Sheriff Chandler came here today. With him by his company, I am not alone today."

"Has Sheriff Chandler come?" Duke Wilson couldn't help but frowned. He didn't expect the sheriff to take advantage of the loophole today.

"What did he tell you?" Duke Wilson was very worried that Evan would be dragged into this troublesome incident.

Evan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled again: "What else can it be, it's just this case, Sergeant Chandler doesn't have any clues, so come to me to sort out the clues."

When Duke Wilson heard this, there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes, but when he turned to look at Evan, he had a tender expression on his face: "You are not in good health now, and this kind of thing may affect your recovery. If he comes again next time, you can also refuse."

He believed that the reason why Evan met Sheriff Chandler was because he was soft-hearted and didn't know how to reject others.

Evan laughed secretly in his heart. He really didn't want to destroy his image, so he met Sheriff Chandler, but he also paid a certain amount of attention to this matter. Is there a layer of barriers in this world for him? In Yes, he must first grasp all the things that go wrong.

"Don't worry, I'm in good health now, and I still have the energy to see my old friends." Speaking of which, Evan paused slightly: "It's just..."

"Just?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan in surprise.

"It's just that I'm a little worried about things in the church." Evan smiled with some reluctance and a look of sadness flashed across his face.

"What about the church?" Duke Wilson frowned: "Is there something wrong with the church?"

Evan gave a wry smile: "I didn't know it before, but when Sheriff Chandler came today, I heard that the young assistant pastor didn't seem to be doing very well when he was attending mass on Sunday. I am very worried about whether the Gospel of God can be spread well."

It's Chandler again!Duke Wilson thought viciously in his heart, why does this person have so many things to mention at such a time.

"Don't worry." Duke Wilson smiled reluctantly: "This should be a joke made by Sheriff Chandler. I haven't heard any complaints about this in the past few days. Your injury is serious. If you don't heal If it hurts, I'm afraid I can't do anything even if I go."

Evan was still worried, but he didn't say any more. He reluctantly nodded and said in a low voice, "I just hope that my injury can heal as soon as possible."

Hearing Evan's words, Duke Wilson was very complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that Evan's injury would heal immediately and get rid of the pain, but he also didn't want Evan to leave the Cornwall Manor.

In the end, Duke Wilson could only nod his head, his expression a little stiff.

Evan secretly felt a little joy in his heart. When Duke Wilson faced his feelings, his innocence was like a blank sheet of paper, and he could easily see his thoughts clearly.

It was not until the last lunch that Evan went to the restaurant with the Duke.

After lunch, the Duke sent Evan upstairs. He originally wanted to send Evan into his own room, but after going upstairs, Evan raised objections.

"Charles." When he called out this name, he always had an ambiguous tone, low and soft, which made Duke Wilson's heart skip a beat.

"I don't want to go back to my room, I want to read a book." He looked at Duke Wilson with sincere and pure eyes, and Wilson's throbbing heart suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"You... what book do you want to read?" Duke Wilson spoke a little unevenly.

Evan, as if he hadn't noticed it, smiled gently: "I wonder if I can visit your study room. I've always heard that your study room is the place with the richest collection of books in the entire Delaneria."

Duke Wilson's heart beat fast, like a ticking clock, Duke Wilson only felt that his heart was about to explode.

"Okay...okay..." He said two good words in succession, but his tone was a little dry and flustered.

Evan secretly smiled in his heart, Duke Wilson is really an interesting person.

Duke Wilson helped Evan into his own study. Looking at this solemn and elegant study, Evan couldn't help admiring in his heart. There are indeed a lot of books, more than the books stored in the church. The accumulation of generations of nobles, unexpectedly Deeper than the church.

"Sure enough, you have a rich collection of books. You are really a knowledgeable person." Evan said in an appreciative tone.

For some reason, Duke Wilson was secretly pleased. He held back the corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "You are over-rewarded. These books are all left by our ancestors. I have only read one-tenth of them. I don't know what book you are interested in? I can get it for you."

The bookshelves on that floor are very high, and Evan's current physical condition is definitely not suitable for picking them up in person.

Evan couldn't help smiling, and said softly: "The bibliography about the church is fine, thank you."

Duke Wilson patted Evan's shoulder stiffly, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

After he finished speaking, he went to pick up the book. Seeing Duke Wilson's awkward back, Evan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. This man is really interesting.

Duke Wilson took the book back. Due to Evan's body, he deliberately chose a thinner and smaller book. After a few brief introductions, he helped Evan walk behind the desk opposite his desk. He whispered: "You don't want to go back to your room, just read a book here."

Evan looked up at the Duke with a slightly uncomfortable expression, and smiled: "Okay, thank you."

The Duke waved his hand and walked behind his desk. Evan could see a thick stack of parchment on his desk. He knew that the Duke had a lot of business to deal with, so he didn't bother him, and looked at it quietly. book.

In such a quiet afternoon, the gentle sunlight poured into the study through the French windows on the balcony, comfortingly facing the window, the gentle autumn sunlight covered his whole body.

His pale golden hair looked extremely dazzling under the sun, and his blue eyes, like a pool of lake water, seemed silent and warm.

Duke Wilson sat behind the desk, most of him was shrouded in shadows, he looked straight at Evan, like a strange man walking alone in the corner, looking at the warmest sunshine in the world.

Duke Wilson's blank stare was finally awakened by a hasty knock on the door. He stood up suddenly from behind the desk, and the harsh sound of dragging the chair made Evan turn his head.

"My lord? What's wrong with you?" Evan looked at the Duke suspiciously.

The Duke's expression was a bit complicated, and he said "nothing" in a low voice, then hurried to the door, and opened it abruptly.

He was breathing heavily, as if something in the room was preventing him from breathing.

The person at the door was startled by his appearance, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Duke Wilson pursed his lips tightly, looked at Edson, and said in a low voice, "Come back in five minutes." Edson came in person, and there must be no good.

Edson looked into the room with some doubts, but unfortunately saw nothing, he smiled softly: "Okay, no matter what you say."

Edson left, but Duke Wilson turned around to face Evan.

Duke Wilson took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to look at Evan. Evan looked at Duke Wilson with some curiosity, his eyes full of searching.

Duke Wilson couldn't help curling up in his heart. He had a lot of things that he couldn't completely spread out in front of Evan. For the person in front of him, he didn't dare to spread out his dark side at all.

"Evan." His voice trembled slightly: "I still have things to deal with, so go back to your room first."

Evan looked at Duke Wilson with his head tilted and frowned, with an innocent expression on his face. What happened to Duke Wilson?Evan, the person outside the door just now, saw very clearly that it was the strange gentleman today, the Duke's staff named Edson. Do they have any secret matters to discuss?

The first thing Evan thought of was about the royal capital. Evan couldn't help but want to ask, but in the end he suppressed his thoughts, stood up slowly holding the book, smiled and said: "In that case, then I won't bother you, and leave."

Evan walked towards the door step by step from the desk. Duke Wilson was standing there, unable to move at all. He watched Evan walk up to him, and then brushed past him, and he subconsciously stopped him. Breathing, until Evan opened the door and walked out, Duke Wilson began to breathe heavily.

Duke Wilson was finally able to move at this time. He dragged his heavy steps to the desk and collapsed on the chair. He lay down on the back of the chair and covered his eyes with the back of his hand. He just thought he was going crazy.

How could he have such thoughts, such filthy thoughts...

Duke Wilson fell into a mood of self-loathing. He always thought that his feelings for that person should be pure without any impurities, but at this moment, he realized that his evil thoughts were like a thread Like a poisonous snake, it grabbed his heart.

Duke Wilson couldn't help groaning, he felt that he couldn't face Evan anymore.

After a long silence, the knock on the door rang again, but this time Duke Wilson didn't stand up and go to open the door, but said in a low tone, "Come in."

The next moment, the door opened, and Edson's mediocre face appeared behind the door.
