"Ma'am?" Evan frowned at Mrs. Sanders: "Is it someone I know?"
Mrs. Sanders also seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "No... I haven't seen this lady before."
Evan probably had a guess in his heart and whispered: "I see, thank you."
Mrs. Sanders nodded stiffly and turned to go in.
Evan stood at the door and hesitated for a while. Duke Wilson couldn't help but have many dark thoughts in his heart when he looked at him like this, but in the end he restrained the thoughts in his heart and whispered: "I and I You go in together."
His words were very firm and did not give Evan any room to refute.
Evan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Charles, you might frighten my father."
Evan is telling the truth. Since the last time Duke Wilson picked him up from Bruce's house, old Bruce didn't dare to contact him for almost half a month. The home is really in a stormy situation right now.
Duke Wilson snorted coldly with some disdain: "If he dares to plot against you like that, he should know the consequences of such a plot."
Evan shook his head helplessly. He knew the duke's character very well. I was afraid that this time old Bruce was going to return empty-handed, and his own heart...
Evan pursed his lips. If he said that he would have some doubts before, he has completely put aside that thought at this time. Although an independent position will make him tempted, if he wants to risk losing the duke , he would never do it.
Evan and Duke Wilson entered the church together. They passed through the prayer hall and went to the living room at the back. Old Bruce and the lady were sitting in the room where Evan usually stayed, looking a little uneasy.
Seeing Evan coming in, he stood up from the chair, but when he saw Duke Wilson following behind Evan, his eyes changed greatly, he couldn't help but take a step back, with a lot of bad thoughts in his heart Ideas poured out.
"Father." Evan nodded slightly at the old Bruce, and glanced at the overly young lady.
She still looks like a little girl, does old Bruce really want him to marry this woman? Evan couldn't help frowning.
"Evan." Old Bruce tried his best to control the timidity in his heart, nodded lightly, he couldn't help licking his dry lips, and then said: "I didn't expect you to come, Lord Duke." He Bent down at Duke Wilson and saluted.
Duke Wilson looked at Old Bruce with a cold face, without saying a word, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Old Bruce's cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead. He kept winking at Evan who was standing beside him, hoping he could do something, but Evan seemed to have not seen it. Not a word.
Old Bruce was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only swallow his anger and continued: "Lord Duke, I have some personal words that I want to talk to Evan alone. I don't know if it is convenient?"
He didn't understand why the Duke was so idle and was with Evan all the time.
Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, his knife-like gaze swept across the shy lady sitting in the corner, and said sarcastically, "Your thoughts are so straightforward, I don't think you need to be private. I said, why, I failed to put that Miss Victoria on Evan last time, and this time it was another person?"
As soon as Duke Wilson said these words, the lady who was sitting in the corner instantly turned pale. She raised her head in horror and looked at Duke Wilson, her expression full of humiliation.
Duke Wilson looked at her expression but just sneered: "What's wrong with this lady? Am I right? I came all the way to Delanlier, but I want to ask you, what exactly did you do? What's the idea?"
The lady didn't seem to think that she was swallowing her voice, she immediately stood up and said loudly: "What idea did I play? My father gave the Bruce family a lot of money to protect the entire Bruce Manor from bankruptcy. The whole Bruce family should be grateful to me, not insult me!"
In response to such rude remarks, Duke Wilson just raised his eyebrows: "So you found a merchant's daughter for Evan?" He looked at old Bruce with a half-smile, with unknown emotions brewing in his eyes.
Old Bruce's heart suddenly picked up, and he hurriedly went to appease the lady: "Mary, sit down first, I believe that the Duke did not mean to insult you, besides this is a matter between you and Evan, I I don't think Duke Wilson would object to Evan's decision."
Old Bruce looked at Evan standing by the side with confidence. He believed that his previous letter had already explained the current situation very well. As long as Evan was not crazy, he would definitely accept the conditions he proposed. , after all, in this era, a manor owner is a very attractive social position, which is a world away from a poor priest.
After listening to old Bruce's words, Evan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He turned his head, looked at old Bruce with expectant eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm so sorry, father, I have no plans to get married, I will be in my whole life. Dedicated to the church, I hope you understand."
"What?" Old Bruce looked at Evan in shock, as if he was looking at a lunatic. William didn't want to give up the authority of the entire manor even if his time was short. He couldn't believe that a person would be crazy enough to give up the inheritance of the manor.
"Are you crazy? If you don't inherit the manor, Bruce's manor will be taken back by the main family after I die, and you won't get anything!" Old Bruce had long forgotten Duke Wilson's threat at this time, and said loudly road.
Evan smiled softly, and could not see any emotional changes: "I am very awake, and this is also a decision I made by myself. If there are any consequences, then I will not have any complaints."
Old Bruce looked at Evan in disbelief, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
But Duke Wilson's expression softened completely at this time. He looked at Evan with a firm look, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
He gave up the inheritance of the manor for himself. He was very aware of the influence and wealth of a manor owner in this era, but he gave up all these for himself.
"What the hell are you doing?" The lady who saw her identity as the hostess of the manor flew away finally couldn't help it: "You thought I promised before!" She looked angrily at the pale old Bruce: "We don't give so much money to charity!"
Old Bruce is now on the verge of collapse, and Mary's words have hit him even more. He almost frantically looked at Evan next to him, rushed to him, and held his shoulders, Loudly said: "You can't treat me like this, you must inherit the Bruce Manor! You must marry Mary! Otherwise, the entire Bruce family will be destroyed!"
Evan looked straight at old Bruce and stopped Duke Wilson who wanted to come forward to help. He grabbed old Bruce's arm and pulled him off his body. He looked at old Bruce with a cold smile. He smiled and said coldly, "I'm so sorry, I don't care at all."
His smile was so cold and abrupt that Old Bruce was stunned for a moment. He stared at Evan blankly, as if he had never known his son.
Evan shook off old Bruce's hands in annoyance, turned and walked to Duke Wilson's side, and said in a low voice, "I want to leave this place, let's go."
Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a burning look, as if he had discovered a new world. Although he had seen Evan's indifference hidden under a gentle appearance before, he had never seen his performance so intuitively. Now Seeing it, he just felt... just excited, so excited that his blood was boiling.
"Okay." He restrained his inner excitement, only uttered this word, and the whole person trembled slightly.
The two of them walked out one after the other, leaving only old Bruce and the Mary looking at each other.
When they got into the carriage again, Duke Wilson couldn't wait to pounce on it and blocked Evan's mouth.
Evan looked slightly surprised at the person who was close to him, trying to kiss him with trembling lips, and then couldn't help but smile again, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned against the guest, and kissed him.
Evan's kisses have always been rude and full of control. Duke Wilson is not his opponent at all, and he fell softly into Evan's arms with two or three strokes.
Evan sucked his lips and tongue until he blushed and was a little breathless, and then let him go, but he still held him in his arms and whispered: "What's wrong with you?"
Duke Wilson leaned lazily on Evan's shoulder, he hugged Evan's waist tightly, rubbed his chest with a contented face, and whispered, "Can't I kiss you?"
Evan couldn't help but smile: "Of course, in this world, only you can."
For some reason, Evan's words suddenly came out of his mouth. After Evan finished speaking, he couldn't help but paused. Is this a promise? Evan was a little stunned. In his last life, he had never had such an experience, and he had never made such a promise to anyone even in a show.
Duke Wilson also raised his head from Evan's shoulder. He looked straight at Evan, with a feeling that Evan could not understand in his eyes. He leaned into Evan's ear and sprayed all the ambiguous breaths on Evan. In his ear, he whispered, "In my whole life, only you can treat me like that."
Duke Wilson didn't say how to treat him, but after Evan heard this sentence again, the whole person suddenly became restless. He knew exactly what Duke Wilson meant, and the madness and feeling that night suddenly suddenly disappeared. flooded into his mind.
Evan looked at the road ahead through the window, and suddenly felt for the first time that it was so far from Delan Lier Church to Cornwall Manor.
