Sheriff Chandler frowned strangely, as if he didn't understand Colonel Mel's excitement.
"Yes Colonel, I almost forgot to tell you that your wife is indeed pregnant." Sheriff Chandler said warmly.
Colonel Mel also seemed to realize his outrageousness. He took a deep breath and tried to restrain the expression on his face.
"This... This is really good." He lowered his head and looked at Mrs. Mel in his arms. Although his face had regained his usual calm, there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
Evan stood behind and frowned, as if he had seen such an expression somewhere, he turned his head to look at Duke Wilson, and then suddenly froze, yes, he has indeed seen such an expression, he He couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth.
Duke Wilson noticed the change in his expression and gave him a strange look. Evan shook his head gently, turned his face and continued to see the scene in front of him.
Mrs. Mel also looked back at Colonel Mel, but there were tears in her eyes, as if she had a lot of grievances to tell.
The interaction between this husband and wife completely stunned Sheriff Chandler. He didn't understand why Mrs. Mel, who had been betrayed, still treated Colonel Mel so tenderly, and he didn't understand either, Colonel Mel. If you care so much about how Mrs. Mel would do such a thing.
Evan's expression was very flat, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, watching the two weeping in the hallway embracing each other.
After a long time, Mrs. Mel's mood finally calmed down, and the two of them approached the living room. Colonel Mel's face was still embarrassed, but Mrs. Mel was like a happy bird at this time. , instructing the butler and servants to serve Colonel Mel food and black tea.
Sheriff Chandler's face has always been ugly. Mrs. Mel's behavior is like saying that he abused Colonel Mel in the police station. abuse.
And Colonel Mel stood up straight the moment he saw Duke Wilson, and he seemed to be a little nervous.
"President... Lord Duke." His voice was not as loud as usual, but rather hoarse.
Duke Wilson nodded coldly and said nothing, which was also one of the conditions for him to watch.
After everyone sat down in the living room, Sheriff Chandler couldn't wait to open the topic.
"Colonel Mel, look at your current situation, you already have a child who needs your support, I know you must be hiding something, but it's the Jedi for you now, if you don't say it again, Your child will be an orphan, are you willing to cause such a result?"
Sheriff Chandler said it painstakingly, but when he said orphans, Mrs. Mel couldn't help shivering and hugged Colonel Mel's arm tightly.
Colonel Mel patted the back of Mrs. Mel's hand a little embarrassedly, and nodded slightly to Sheriff Chandler: "I know your kindness, it's just me..."
"Oh, Charlie!" Mrs. Mel looked up at Colonel Mel's face in pain and whispered, "Just tell me everything you know, I'm really... really scared..."
Colonel Mel looked down at Mrs. Mel, who was completely different from usual at this time, like a young girl who was coquettish to her lover, with brisk tenderness around her eyes and brows.
"I understand." He patted Mrs. Mel's hair, and when he raised his head again, his expression became firm.
"Sheriff Chandler." He pursed his lips, as if he had made a huge determination: "I didn't want to say these words at first, but at this time I feel compelled to say it, but these things are somewhat involved. To the secrets of Lord Wilson, and now Lord Wilson is here, I want to ask your permission."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Duke Wilson expectantly. Duke Wilson frowned slightly, glanced at Sheriff Chandler with a slightly curious look, and then stared at Colonel Mel's eyes. Could he really To tell what he did to himself
No, he wouldn't be so stupid. If he said those things, he would still die, and now that he has been riding a tiger, this idiot Mel has thrown the problem on the bright side! Especially... especially... He glanced at Evan, who was sitting beside him with clear eyes.
Duke Wilson was very angry in his heart, but under such circumstances, he must not be angry, otherwise he would not be able to confirm some kind of conjecture, and he endured the pressure and angered.
"Just say what you want to say. There is nothing more important than your life now." Duke Wilson clenched his fists and said indifferently.
Colonel Mel smiled at the Duke, then turned to look at Sheriff Chandler again, and said warmly, "Since the Duke has agreed, then I will tell you about it."
Seeing this place, Evan felt a little coldness in his heart. He twisted the corners of his clothes with his fingertips, forcing himself to listen to Colonel Mel's words.
"You keep asking me if I have concealed something." Colonel Mel's tone was slightly low, as if with a special emotion: "It's not that I want to conceal it, it's that I don't want to think about it in that place. Now it seems that I have to say all these things.”
Having said that, he looked at Evan, as if there was no sign, so he looked straight at him.
Evan's heart jumped, and a bad premonition came up immediately.
"Pastor Bruce, you have always been an upright and noble gentleman in Delan Lier. I admire you very much, and I am very grateful for your help to me, but..." He pondered for a moment.
Evan frowned slightly, but there was absolutely no good words behind it.
"But I have to say." Colonel Mayer finally spoke up. "Your disguise is really good."
He was so straightforward that everyone was taken aback by his words. Duke Wilson's reaction was even more intense. He stood up directly from the sofa and looked at Mel viciously without concealing it at all.
Looking at him like this, Mel couldn't help but waved his hand with a smile: "Lord Duke, don't worry, you will have time to react when you finish listening to me."
Duke Wilson's expression was not relieved because of this. He looked at Mel coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person, but Mel still looked gentle, as if he had no feelings.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
At this moment, a warm hand pressed against the back of the duke's hand, the duke's body trembled slightly, and then a gentle voice came from behind.
"Charles, don't get excited, I'm sure Colonel Mel will take responsibility for what he said."
Evan's eyes were still as gentle and compassionate as before. He looked at Colonel Mel, as if he was looking at a naughty child, without the slightest impatience, just patience and calm.
Colonel Mel couldn't help moving the corners of his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
On Duke Wilson's side, he was softened by Evan's words for a long time. He was led by Evan to sit on the sofa obediently, and his face was much lighter than before.
Sheriff Chandler seemed to be relieved as if he had escaped. He couldn't help but glance at Evan. He hadn't noticed before that Evan had such a great influence on Duke Wilson.
"Of course, Pastor Bruce, I will take responsibility for my words," Colonel Meyer said dryly.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke again: "Although Pastor Bruce seems to be a noble and pure teaching staff, no matter what you do with Arya (said When he said this, Dr. Hester, who had come over for a follow-up consultation, couldn't help but raised his head.) Or in return to the respectable Mr. Ferd, I feel that you are someone who deserves my attention. When everyone is on the opposite side of you, it seems to be so vulnerable, you don't even need to take a shot, others will help you solve all the difficulties, maybe once or twice I will feel nothing, but it has always been In this way, it made me understand that you are not as innocent and harmless as you have shown."
When he said this long paragraph, Mel kept staring at Evan's eyes, as if he was looking at a prey, his expression cautious and sharp.
Evan's expression didn't change at all, he was still so kind and gentle, when Mel said the last sentence, he couldn't help but smile: "In fact, it's not just you, sometimes I myself thank God. The generosity of me has allowed me to escape these misfortunes."
Colonel Mel couldn't help laughing sarcastically: "Oh, my dear pastor, this has nothing to do with God. You are here today, and it is entirely the result of your own efforts."
The sarcasm was so sharp that Sheriff Chandler couldn't help frowning: "Colonel Mel, Pastor Bruce has done a lot of work in your case this time, how can you slander him so much, this time we are If you want to find the murderer, please stop talking about irrelevant topics."
Sheriff Chandler's words finally turned Mel's face straight, he looked straight at Evan, and his tone was very firm: "You have been asking me again before, who can know the relationship between me and Eliza, So I will tell you today that in the process of my relationship with Eliza, I almost exhausted all my means to prevent this relationship from being known, and everyone sitting here, I am afraid that even the Duke does not know , but there is one person you have been ignoring all the time, and that is Pastor Bruce! I swear to God, the only one who knows about this is Pastor Bruce!"
This paragraph of Mel's words shocked almost everyone. He was right. Of all the people present, it was true that only Evan was hinted at their relationship before this, but... But no one ever Think of Evan in this matter, which is really...
"Nonsense!" Duke Wilson finally couldn't stand Mel's slander of Evan, and stood up abruptly from the sofa: "How dare you! How dare you!" He pointed at Mel with trembling fingers, his eyes widening. Red, as if he was already in a hurry.
Mel still looked leisurely, he glanced at Sheriff Chandler with a livid face and Evan who looked calm, and continued: "I never doubted Pastor Bruce before, but, a few days ago I When I heard that Mr. Reverend had asked someone to visit Eliza at the convent where Eliza was, I understood that you are not someone you can trust because you never told anyone about this from beginning to end thing!"
Evan's eyes finally turned cold at this time. Mel was right. Before he left, he did ask his enthusiastic cook, Mrs. Haydn, to visit Eliza at the abbey. Speaking of which, it was just him. His ridiculous sympathy was at work, and he completely forgot about it afterward, but at this time it became a weapon to attack him.
"Our venerable, noble priest, from beginning to end, he just wanted to climb up the Duke and make the Duke his personal possession, so Edson and I and the innocent Arya , can't exist, we all have to disappear, so everyone who is close to the Duke, no matter who, except Pastor Bruce, is haunted by bad luck, if it's just one, it's fine, then so many people, can't explain the problem ?"
Mel stood up from the sofa as if he had gained some strength at this time, looking straight at Evan, his eyes full of anger.
Evan looked at him, but his heart was calm. He even had time to think about this matter, and finally revealed a flaw.
He slowly stood up from the sofa. This living room, which seemed warm and peaceful at first, finally turned into a battlefield at this time.
"Although what you said is a bit far-fetched, it also has some truth." Evan said calmly: "But I want to ask you, when the poor Mother Eliza died, I was not in Delan Lier, How did I do it?"
When Evan said these words, he suddenly noticed that Colonel Mel's mouth showed a faint smile, which was so weak, but it made Evan's heart cool.
