Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Duke Wilson led Edward and Evan to the door of the restaurant, but Evan let go of Edward's hand the moment he entered the door. Under such circumstances, it was a bit out of line for Evan to do so. up.

The people sitting in this room are not fools, and there are some things that cannot be done too much.

The moment Edward let go of Evan's hand, the smile on his face froze, but he concealed his difference very well. He almost didn't even lift his head, and walked into the hall with Duke Wilson, while Evan He paused for a moment, then walked in.

The birthday party this time was very successful. Although the people who came were all famous people in Delanele, none of them could match the status and status of Duke Wilson. Therefore, although it is only a young child's birthday, I would like to congratulate you all The person still looked happy, but he didn't write on his forehead to show that he was really happy.

But Duke Wilson's mood was not good. Evan's sudden announcement of leaving made him feel a little disturbed. He didn't want Evan to leave, but at the same time, he didn't have a good reason to let him stay. The mood made him feel very aggrieved.

Duke Wilson's mood also affected the attitudes of the people around him. They were cautious when talking to the Duke, for fear of poking at the Duke's pain point and suffering from it.

Evan didn't seem to see the Duke's expression, and he was still very relaxed. His seat was next to the Duke, and the other side happened to be Sheriff Chandler. The sheriff managed to crack the case this time, and he was very energetic. He kept talking to Evan about his experience and process of solving the case.

Evan listened to Sergeant Chandler's beaming words without hesitation, as if he was very interested, but he kept observing Duke Wilson from the corner of his eye. Seeing his sullen look, Evan couldn't help secretly happy, Duke Wilson Son, the original book is not such a patient person, it seems that his plan is about to succeed.

After the dinner, the Duke saw off all the guests, and Edward was taken back to his room by the servants. Before he left, he gave Duke Wilson a hesitant look, and finally left quietly without saying a word.

He is still in awe of his father until now. If it wasn't for Evan who comforted him when he was most vulnerable, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the courage to talk to Duke Wilson now.

Thinking of this, Edward's eyes couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Alia is definitely an uncertain factor. In Edward's view, Alia is not someone who can be easily bluffed. If she gives it a go, the consequences will be disastrous.

After Edward went upstairs, only Duke Wilson and Evan were left on the sofa downstairs. Duke Wilson looked at Evan deeply, until Evan's scalp felt a little numb, and he opened his mouth.

"Evan, as your friend, I regret your decision to leave, but please remember that the door of Cornwall Manor is always open for you."

No matter how reluctant Duke Wilson was, he had no second choice at this time, because he had no position to force Evan to stay.

Evan smiled softly, and said warmly: "I am very moved by your friendship, please rest assured that even if I leave the Cornwall Manor, my friendship with you will not change."

Duke Wilson hooked the corner of his mouth reluctantly. He is definitely not in a good mood now.

Evan exchanged a few more words with the Duke, and then went upstairs on the pretext of being sleepy. Today's day of entertainment had already made him a little tired, and the battle of wits with the Duke completely exhausted his energy. , let him hurt greatly.

Duke Wilson was sitting alone in the spacious hall, butler Chris couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Master Duke, it's getting late, do you want to rest?"

"You step back, I'm going to sit down for a while." Duke Wilson waved his hand coldly. He is now waiting for someone, and he is also waiting for a message.

Adelson sent someone back the day before yesterday, and the result he wanted would be tonight at the latest.

Butler Chris is a competent butler, and naturally he will not leave before everyone rests. He stands silently behind Duke Wilson, and has no plans to retreat.

Duke Wilson didn't take it seriously either. The Chris family had served the Duke's mansion for three generations. The old butler's loyalty was unquestionable.

An hour later, when the clock struck midnight, a servant hurried in and reported: "My lord, the gatekeeper said that there is a Mr. Edson asking to see."

The servant looked very embarrassed, he almost didn't dare to look at the Duke's expression, it was a very disgraceful thing to ask to see him in such a late night, not to mention bothering the Duke.

"He said...he has something important to see, and he has your letter in his hand..." The servant hurriedly argued, fearing that the Duke would be angry.

There was no expression on the Duke's face, and his tone was very calm: "Let him in."

The servant couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried out.

After a while, someone brought Edson in. At this time, Edson was no longer as chic as before. His hair was very messy, as if swept by a strong wind, and his clothes were also a little crumpled. It looked like he had traveled a long distance, his face was pale, and he seemed to have suffered a lot.

"Your Excellency." Edson's etiquette was still perfect.

Duke Wilson raised his hand: "Speak." His tone was very cold, but his slightly trembling hands hidden in his sleeves betrayed his true emotions.

Edson didn't see the Duke's hands, so he didn't understand the Duke's true emotions. He sorted out the thoughts in his mind and reported the results of his investigations in the past few days to the Duke, but this time he didn't dare to act like He made random guesses like last time, and he honestly reported all the objective facts he had investigated to the Duke.

Duke Wilson still frowned at the beginning, but the expression on his face gradually eased a lot in the end. Edson looked a little weird. To be honest, even he himself felt a little weird about his investigation this time. He still can't see through the relationship with Bruce. Back then, he publicized that Ferd was a despicable homosexual and a good friend of Bruce, but the two of them publicized this matter out of pure jealousy towards Ferd. , has nothing to do with Bruce.

And Ferd's father, the respectable Lord Earl, also sought Bruce. It's just that what was said back then, I'm afraid only the earl and Bruce know.

Just looking at the Duke's reaction now, maybe the Duke also knows.

A dark light flashed in Adelson's eyes. He clenched his fists to hide the unwillingness in his eyes. He lost the Duke's trust last time, and this time he can only be a man with his tail between his legs. If he is trusted, he wants to see who made him so embarrassed.

And Duke Wilson got the answer he wanted, he waved his hand at Edson with a soothing expression, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you did a good job this time, go down."

Edson came back to his senses in an instant, saluted the Duke, turned and left the hall.

After Adelson left, Duke Wilson also stood up. Adelson's investigation results were consistent with Evan's words, which couldn't be better. This even made the Duke walk out of the haze of Evan's imminent departure. Although he left the Cornwall manor, he was still in Delandrier, so Duke Wilson comforted himself.

Most importantly, Evan is still Evan.

**

The Duke's good mood lasted until the next morning. Even Evan was very surprised to see the Duke's bright appearance. Doesn't he care about his departure?Evan had doubts like this before, but when he saw Edson's respectful figure, Evan immediately knew that he wanted to go wrong. It seemed that the matter had been resolved, and Evan couldn't help but smile, and went on It's time to completely get rid of this tricky character, Ferd.

Evan left the next afternoon, and Duke Wilson personally took him back to the pastor's cottage in a carriage. The servants, Mrs. Sanders and the assistant priest greeted Evan in front of the cottage, especially Mrs. Sanders. , a rare softness appeared on her indifferent face.

"Mr. Pastor, welcome back." Mrs. Sanders looked at Evan who got out of the carriage, and said warmly.

Evan walked up to Mrs. Sanders and nodded slightly: "My dear madam, I am flattered by your welcome."

Duke Wilson sat in the carriage and watched this scene. For some reason, he felt it was a bit dazzling. He did not get out of the carriage, but opened the carriage door, and said in a low voice, "Pastor Bruce, then I will leave first."

Evan was a little surprised, but still maintained his etiquette: "Thank you very much for sending me back, please go slowly."

Duke Wilson's carriage left, but Mrs. Sanders frowned.

"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Sanders said with some hesitation in her tone, "How are you doing at the Duke's mansion these few days?"

Duke Wilson was so rude that Mrs. Sanders was a little unexpected.

Evan could naturally guess what Mrs. Sanders was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "My lady, please don't worry, I have been very happy at the Duke's mansion these few days, but this time the Duke is real Something happened, so I left in a hurry."

There is something going on there, I'm afraid I just don't want to say goodbye.

Mrs. Sanders' complexion improved a lot. He looked at Evan, who was pale, and couldn't help sighing: "Your luck is really too bad. It was just an autumn hunt, but you didn't wait until early winter." I finally came back, next time you must not go hunting again, it is too dangerous."

Evan nodded with a smile, but he thought to himself that there would be no such exciting hunting next time.

The crowd surrounded Evan and walked into the hut. The hut was well taken care of, and he didn't want to look like he hadn't lived in it for a long time. Evan looked at the things in the room, as if they were still the same as before he left. A servant is really good, you can use it with confidence in the future.

Mrs. Haydn had prepared a table of delicacies long ago, and Evan praised her face very much. The smile on Mrs. Haydn's face almost never stopped. This curmudgeon lady, in front of Evan, could so soft.

Several people were having dinner happily, at this moment, Billy, the errand boy, suddenly barged in, and Mrs. Haydn's face immediately sank. Before she could swear, Billy immediately opened his mouth like a cannonball: "Mr. Reverend, here comes Mr. Fielder."

Evan's originally gentle expression finally sank at this moment.
