Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 79 The Eve of the Storm

After dinner, Duke Wilson saw off Lord Oram, while Evan returned to his room. Evan attached great importance to Lord Oram's invitation.

He was very aware of a person like Lord Oram. Although such a person seemed amiable, if someone dared to underestimate him, he would definitely pay the price.

On the cusp of this storm, he actually wanted to hold a dance party. If he said that there was no purpose, he would never believe it.

Lord Oram definitely has a plan, and this plan is also related to King Richard.

Evan knew this very well in his heart, so he became more and more worried in his heart, because this plot did not clearly express in the original text, the only thing he knew was that the final winner was Prince George, but even so, let He was a little terrified, because the current situation had changed. Duke Wilson, who did not appear in London in the original book, came. Evan didn't know what kind of result such a change would cause.

Evan clenched his fists, and now he can only move at every step.

The next day, Edward was taken to London by Chris' housekeeper. His arrival eased the embarrassing relationship between Evan and Duke Wilson.

And Evan also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Edward has also come to London, the ending in the original book should also be changed, because in this state of mind, his attitude towards Edward has become more gentle.

Edward is a sensitive child. He also caught Evan's emotional changes and was very happy in his heart, so he liked being around Evan more and more.

Evan doesn't mind Edward being so close. After all, the atmosphere between him and the Duke is still a little awkward. Although it is much better than before, he still speaks dryly. Edward's arrival, after all It's because the atmosphere has been eased. In the past two days, the conversation between him and the Duke has become much smoother than before.

This afternoon, just after Evan comforted Edward to sleep, Duke Wilson came back.

Evan walked downstairs while watching Duke Wilson change his coat.

"Your Excellency the Duke." Evan looked at Duke Wilson who lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly said.

Duke Wilson was obviously taken aback, looked up and saw Evan.

"Didn't you rest?" Duke Wilson looked a little unnatural.

Evan's usual work and rest habits are very similar to his previous life. He always likes to take a nap after lunch, and Duke Wilson is well aware of this.

Evan smiled knowingly: "Lord Edward just fell asleep, I want to come down and have a glass of water."

"Oh, really." Without Edward's buffer in the middle, Duke Wilson's tone was still a little stiff.

"Tomorrow is the day when Lord Oram will hold a ball. Do I need to prepare anything?" Evan saw that Duke Wilson was uncomfortable, so he changed the subject, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Hearing Evan talk about this, Duke Wilson's expression became a little cautious, and he thought for a while and said, "When you go, don't wear a priest collar, you should change into an ordinary suit."

Evan couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why is this? Is there something wrong?" If he is not allowed to dress up as a priest, is there really any movement?Evan thought silently in his heart.

The corner of Duke Wilson's mouth twitched slightly, he bowed his head, and finally said: "It's nothing, I know that London is not very peaceful recently, I still ask you to be careful, after all, the identity of a religious person will cause groundless speculation."

Evan frowned. Although he couldn't tell the whole story, he could guess the meaning. I'm afraid there was a big move. If he, a religious person, was involved for no reason, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. After all, there is a church on it. If it succeeds, it’s okay, but if it fails, it will be difficult to end this matter.

"Okay, it's better for you to be considerate." Evan said this sincerely. At this time, he almost forgot that he still has the status of a religious person.

Duke Wilson raised the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't succeed. He just nodded, as if turning around and going upstairs.

Seeing the back of the Duke in a hurry to go upstairs, Evan suddenly didn't know which string was touched in his mind, and suddenly said: "Master Duke, we need to talk."

The back of the Duke, who was in a hurry, suddenly froze. He seemed to be immobilized by some spell, and he couldn't move a step. A huge roar began to ring in his ears, with desperate wailing.

Evan was also taken aback by his own words, but he also knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and since he had already spoken, it was impossible to take it back, so he immediately said: "About the last time, I Think, we need to have an open and honest talk."

Evan's tone was sincere and gentle, but Duke Wilson's face was ashen. He looked straight at the stairs in front of him, with despair in his eyes. Why couldn't he walk faster? He could escape with a little bit, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape his fate in the end. The dream of him and Evan living in harmony was finally about to be shattered at this moment.

"We..." He pursed his dry lips, and the word "we" came out of his mouth with a hint of bitterness: "Let's go to the study and talk." Duke Wilson's voice was soft and slow, as if Also with a trace of unwillingness.

Evan looked at his back that was stiff like a stone statue, and couldn't help feeling a little cute in his heart. Maybe he was the only one in this world who thought that this cold-faced duke had a cute side.

Evan followed the footsteps of Duke Wilson towards the second floor. Every step the Duke took was very heavy, as if the place he was going to was not a study, but hell on earth.

Evan followed behind him, almost sympathizing with him, maybe what he was going to say later would make him happier.

They entered the study room, the Duke sat behind the desk, and Evan sat on the sofa obediently. There was a table between them, and most of Duke Wilson's face was covered in shadows. Wen couldn't see the look on his face clearly either.

"Just say what you have to say." After a long silence, Duke Wilson finally spoke, with a slightly hoarse voice.

At this time, Evan was a little dumbfounded. Although he had done countless psychological constructions before, he didn't know what to say when he reached this critical moment.

"You..." After pondering for a long time, Evan finally spoke: "I understand your reaction that day very well."

After Evan uttered this sentence, he wished he could swallow his tongue. What kind of words were these, and they were no better than a rude villain.

Evan watched Duke Wilson turn his body a little restlessly, and immediately said: "This is a gift from God to us humans. All desires and reactions are pure and natural. You don't have to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. , I am still your closest friend, such things will not affect our friendship, please be sure of this."

Duke Wilson stood up suddenly from his chair, and Evan was taken aback by him, so he also stood up: "You...you..."

"Pastor Bruce!" Duke Wilson interrupted Evan suddenly. He came out from the shadows, his handsome face was cold: "Are you pretending to be confused?" He looked at Evan coldly.

Evan was stunned by his gaze. Duke Wilson had never treated him with such an attitude before, and had never said such rude words to her.

"What do you mean?" Evan pursed his lips, without any weakness in his expression, and looked at Duke Wilson in confusion.

Duke Wilson just looked straight at Evan for a long time, until Evan felt a little uncomfortable watching, he suddenly smiled to himself: "Oh, I'm such a fool." Forehead, like a child suddenly enlightened, he walked to Evan step by step, looked straight into Evan's eyes, the black eyes were full of caution, he slowly approached Evan's cheek, finally He stopped less than one centimeter away from Evan's cheek, and said word by word: "I only plan to say these words once, so please listen carefully, the reaction I had that day was not because of natural Desire, but I for you." He paused slightly: "For you, Pastor Bruce, I have desire, that is to say, I love you."

After saying these words, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the rumble in his ears continued, the clamor in his heart subsided at this time.

Maybe he has been waiting for such an opportunity to pour out all his feelings and emotions to him. He can't accept that this person in front of him will spend his life with another woman, and he can't accept that he can't have this person in his life. He may have been hesitant and afraid before, but when he looked at the person in front of him just now, he found that the only thing he wanted was him, and if he didn't say these words all his life, then his It is impossible to have this person in front of me in my whole life.

When Evan heard such words, he was stunned. It wasn't that he was acting dull on purpose, but he was really stunned. He knew this person's sensitivity and pride, so he made many excuses for Duke Wilson in advance, thinking that maybe This person would walk down the steps, but he never thought that this old antique from the feudal society would express his love to himself so clearly.

This is beyond Evan's imagination, and beyond the range of his response at this time. He has no idea what to do now is the right thing to do.

"I..." His voice was like a speck of dust, although it was small, it touched Duke Wilson's heartstrings.

"You don't have to give me an answer at this time." Looking at Evan who was still in a state of shock, Duke Wilson finally realized his inappropriate behavior, and immediately said: "You can think about this matter carefully, I know it's right for you. You are a very shocking thing, you need time to relax, but please believe that my love for you is absolutely pure and firm, this is the burst of emotion in my heart, it is definitely not my whim to you A lie."

Duke Wilson looked at Evan very sincerely. If the most hard-hearted person in the world saw Duke Wilson's eyes at this moment, he would be moved.

Evan was also a little confused for a while, and a panic suddenly appeared in his heart, as if something that was originally a solid foundation was touched, causing his heart to fluctuate.

"I...I need some time..." After throwing down such a sentence, Evan fled in despair.
