Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan drove towards the Cornwall Manor in Duke Wilson's carriage. The goodbye this time made both of them a little cautious, after all, they hadn't seen each other for two weeks.

Duke Wilson was very dissatisfied with this situation. While looking at Evan's expression from the corner of his eye, he thought about how to talk to Evan.

But Evan kept his eyes closed all the time, so until the carriage arrived at the Cornwall Manor, Duke Wilson couldn't find a chance to talk to Evan, and Duke Wilson couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Although Evan half-closed his eyes, he had a panoramic view of Duke Wilson's movements. There was a secret smile on the corner of his mouth. Although he made up his mind to let Duke Wilson speak first, he still had to cast some bait.

So when Duke Wilson was about to get out of the car full of annoyance, Evan suddenly said, "My lord, thank you very much for this incident."

Duke Wilson was overjoyed, and turned his head to look at Evan, but he showed restraint on his face, pursed his lips tightly and said: "You are too polite, you are not wrong in the first place."

Evan suddenly smiled, leaned forward and grabbed Duke Wilson's hand, the Duke couldn't help but tremble, but Evan seemed not to notice, still looking at Duke Wilson very sincerely, He said softly: "But without you, even if I am innocent today, I am afraid I will not be able to escape being framed."

Duke Wilson had no reaction at this time, he couldn't help trembling, he never thought...never thought...

"Your Excellency!" Chris Butler's sudden voice freed the two of them from their current predicament.

Duke Wilson reacted immediately. He pulled his hand out of Evan's hand suddenly, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "You are too polite, let's get out of the carriage." After speaking, he turned over and got out of the carriage.

Evan looked at his empty palm, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Duke is really innocent in this regard.

When Evan got out of the carriage, Duke Wilson was nowhere to be seen. Butler Chris smiled at Evan awkwardly at the door: "Mr. Pastor, the Duke has already gone to the living room, and Pastor Robert is waiting there."

Evan nodded indifferently, and followed Butler Chris towards the living room.

As soon as Evan entered the living room, he saw the Duke sitting beside Pastor Robert. Seeing him coming in, he averted his eyes unnaturally.

Evan didn't try to embarrass him deliberately, but walked towards Pastor Robert with a smile on his face.

"Pastor Robert, long time no see." Evan smiled very kindly.

Pastor Robert also stood up with a smile, with a joyful smile on his kind face: "Oh, little Evan, I didn't expect you to be a pastor here. It's great. When your father came to London a few days ago mentioned you to me."

"My father?" Evan's heart sank suddenly.

The father of the original owner was an old-fashioned gentleman with very old ideas, the owner of a small manor, but because of the primogeniture system, he was completely removed from the list of heirs. Apart from part of his mother's dowry, he was a Even in order to make up his mind, he even sent the original owner to study in a boarding school for nobles outside since he was a child. Although Evan has been in this world for two or three years, this father, except when he first came to Delanele Except for a letter from him, he has never contacted, let alone met.

"Yeah, Old Peter asked me about your recent situation. He should be relieved to see that everything is fine with you now." Pastor Robert smiled very kindly.

But Evan couldn't laugh at all. He didn't think his father was a person who cared about his recent situation. He developed well in the church in London back then, but because his brother would When he came to London to do business, his father was afraid that he would affect his brother's status, so he was transferred far away to Delan Lille. For such a character, he couldn't think of any reason why he didn't come to care about him.

"Yeah, is my father in good health? Maybe I haven't seen him for a long time." Although Evan was puzzled, he still did his best to be courteous.

Robert nodded: "Don't worry, old Peter is in good health. By the way, according to your father, your brother William seems to be getting married soon."

marry?Evan doesn't even know what his father looks like, let alone his titular brother.

"Oh? Really? This is new news." Evan said with a very calm expression.

It was only at this time that Pastor Robert realized that he had said something wrong, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. He had heard about the Bruce family before, but he did not expect to be so ruthless.

Duke Wilson, who was sitting aside with a stiff expression, frowned after hearing Evan's words. He had never paid attention to Evan's family, and he didn't expect such a problem.

"Pastor Robert." As if he noticed the difference in the surrounding atmosphere, Evan laughed again. He helped Pastor Robert sit down again, and said with a smile, "Did you come this time at the invitation of the Duke?"

Evan changed the topic in a timely manner, and it would be a bit disappointing to say these things at this time.

"Oh, of course." Pastor Robert was also very smart not to mention the embarrassment just now, and continued to smile: "My lord duke invited me to Delan Lille, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, it's really terrible. "

Evan pursed his lips and did not speak, but Pastor Robert continued to babble: "Speaking of which, Irina was a good child before, but it is surprising how she has become like this now. Fortunately, you are fine this time, otherwise I really don't know What serious consequences will it cause?"

Evan is still smiling, but his heart is as cold as ice. What else could happen? Quality is still very important, especially when he is a pastor of a church. If it is as planned by Ferd, I am afraid that the church will have no place for itself.

As Robert got older, he also became nagging. He pulled Evan back from his previous days in London to recall his youth. Evan had heard these stories eight hundred times, if not a thousand times, but this At that time, facing such Pastor Robert, he still listened patiently. After all, this nagging old man just saved himself.

When Pastor Robert finally finished the old story to his heart's content, Duke Wilson couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly got up to chase people away: "Mr. Pastor, you are weak and should not sit for a long time. You should go up and rest first."

Pastor Robert was a bit confused at first, but after being told by the Duke, he really felt his back was a little stiff, so he didn't care about any etiquette, and he followed Butler Chris upstairs, muttering.

The departure of Pastor Robert plunged the living room into an awkward silence again. The Duke was still arrogant just now, but now he was a little at a loss. The back of his hand seemed to still have the warmth of Evan's palm before. This kind of heat seemed to be contagious, rushing straight from the back of his hand to his heart through his blood vessels, making him a little restless for a while.

Evan knew very well the duke's tangled mood at this time, and he couldn't help but laugh a little, but in the end he opened his mouth very understandingly: "Mr. many."

Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief the moment Evan spoke, but couldn't help but frowned at this moment: "Speaking of this, I still want to ask you, is your relationship with your father very bad?"

Evan smiled bitterly: "It's not bad, but it's just that I haven't had much contact with it."

"Haven't had much contact with him?" The Duke looked at Evan with some surprise: "He is your father, haven't you guys had much contact with him?"

Evan paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Since I was eight years old, I was sent to a boarding school by my father. Until I became an assistant pastor at the age of 22, we met less than twice. Ten times, he gave me either a letter or a check, so I don't really know my father well."

Duke Wilson was really surprised at this time. He was the only son of the old Duke Wilson, and he was basically brought up by the old Duke Wilson. He never knew that there was such a strange father-son relationship in this world.

"Is what you said true? This is really unfortunate!" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some sympathy.

But Evan couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to sympathize with me like this. Anyway, I've grown up to this age. Although my father didn't fulfill his father's responsibilities, he also helped me a lot. Delan Lille is also because of my father, but I didn't expect that no one would tell me that my brother got married..."

Having said that, Evan's expression couldn't help but a little gloomy.

Duke Wilson also felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. He kept looking at the gentle and kind Evan, but he didn't expect that he would have so many sad things.

"You... don't be sad. Maybe the letter was blocked, so I couldn't tell you in time. After all, he is your own brother, and he will tell you no matter what." Very dissatisfied with the other two men in the Bruce family.

Evan forced a smile: "Maybe."

Seeing Evan's gloomy expression, Duke Wilson was not in a good mood, but such things are not the Duke's field of expertise, so he can only keep his mouth shut.

Afterwards, the two had lunch together at the manor. After lunch, Evan was about to go back, but the Duke suddenly proposed to go fishing with Evan. Evan refused, so he had to go with the Duke.

The place they went to was a lake belonging to the Cornwall Manor, which was rich in fish. Evan was very unskilled in this kind of thing, so he had to follow the example of Duke Wilson.

The two of them sat by the lake, there was a breeze blowing across the lake, raising faint ripples, and the sun shone through the clouds on the lake, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold, the entire lake was sparkling.

Sitting in such a place, Evan relaxed and didn't think about those intrigues, but was completely immersed in such a beautiful world.

But when he finally woke up from such a relaxed situation, he found that the sun had already set.

He turned his head to look at the slightly smiling face of Duke Wilson, and said an elegant tone between his well-shaped lips: "Pastor Bruce, it's getting late today, why don't you stay here."

Evan suddenly discovered that his estimation of Duke Wilson was still a bit wrong. This man is obviously a good player.
