"You... you..." Duke Wilson was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Evan looked at his embarrassed and excited eyes, his eyes soft like a lake, and whispered: "I told you before that love is the most wonderful thing in this world, and none of us can predict it. Where did he come from and where did he go, I never underestimate the power of love, and I will not easily judge the right or wrong of love."
Evan said the most high-sounding words, which may be the most basic understanding of people in his era, but for the Duke in such an era, it was not a thunderbolt, which made him a little stunned.
He doesn't mind such feelings.
This was unbelievable for Duke Wilson.
He looked straight at Evan and was speechless for a while.
Evan looked at Duke Wilson's dazed look, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he had a puzzled look on his face: "Lord Duke? What's the matter with you?"
Duke Wilson suddenly reacted, and his expression was a little embarrassed for a while. He turned his face and glanced out the window, his eyes wandering and said: "No... It's all right."
Evan looked at him like this, and his heart was even more happy. Although the duke looked indifferent, this awkward character was quite interesting.
"That's good, but I don't know what this has to do with Rael?" Evan immediately brought the topic to business.
Duke Wilson didn't react at first, but after a few minutes, he understood what Evan meant, and his expression became a little contemptuous.
"You don't know yet, the reason why Johnson dares to embezzle so much property is for this Rael, Rael is a vain and willful young man, Mr. Johnson has to spend in order to hang his young lover. Naturally, he has more money, he is just a lawyer and earns only four or five hundred pounds a year, how can he satisfy someone like Rael with a high heart."
Evan looked at Duke Wilson in surprise: "Mr. Johnson is so confused?"
Duke Wilson curled his lips with some disdain: "Johnson looked shrewd, but he was dazzled by beauty. That kid Rael was just a high-level courtesan, but he regarded him as a treasure. No wonder he was abandoned in the end. I heard that he I wanted to run away with Rael with my check, but never thought Rael didn't want to entangle with someone like him who had no money and no status, so even rejecting him ended up leading to Johnson's death."
Duke Wilson said clearly, but Evan couldn't help frowning: "So what is the cause of Mr. Johnson's death?"
Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, but he still brought the tea bowl beside the bed to Evan first, watched him take a sip, and then said: "Sheriff Chandler is very concerned about this matter. Pay attention, you also know that Sheriff Chandler is a very upright person. When such a thing happens, he is also very contemptuous. In addition, Mr. Johnson died after arguing with Mr. Rael, so Sheriff Chandler turned his attention to Rael."
Listening to Duke Wilson's words, Evan couldn't help but let out a wry smile. This is really what Sheriff Chandler can do.
"Does Mr. Sheriff have any evidence?" Evan asked tentatively.
Duke Wilson wrinkled his nose and looked a little unsightly: "At that time, Mr. Johnson had an argument with Rael, and he may have said some extreme words, which were seen by eyewitnesses..."
Duke Wilson didn't say anything later, but Evan could also think of the follow-up. Although Sheriff Chandler is very upright, but because he is so upright, sometimes he is a little pedantic.
"Has Sheriff Chandler detained that Mr. Rael?" Evan asked unintentionally.
Duke Wilson didn't care, and replied casually: "Of course, Sheriff Chandler arrested him immediately, and now I'm afraid the interrogation has already begun."
Evan pursed his lips, and he had expected this result.
Duke Wilson secretly glanced at Evan at this time. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the autumn sun was shining on his face, making him more gentle and holy. He looked at Evan with his eyes down and his long eyelashes. A shadow was cast under his eyelashes, and Duke Wilson suddenly felt a little turbulent for some reason.
At this moment, Evan suddenly raised his head, Duke Wilson was startled, he turned his head quickly, and did not dare to look at him again.
Evan was also stunned by Duke Wilson's actions. He glanced at the unnatural Duke. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, but he was secretly delighted and whispered: " That's good, I hope Mr. Sheriff can find out about this matter."
Duke Wilson smiled stiffly, and also echoed a few words, but he was still a little unnatural, and the atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward.
In the end, Duke Wilson couldn't sit still, so he said goodbye. Watching Duke Wilson walk away, Evan's heart was 80% settled at once, so he rushed to Duke Wilson's performance in the past few days. His plan has been realized. Eighty percent.
Evan lowered his eyebrows, looked at Rael's extremely beautiful face in the newspaper, and sneered. He really did not see this man wrong. He really is an idiot. With this IQ, I am afraid that even Mrs. Johnson can't play it. Dare to learn from others to calculate family wealth, it is really too long.
Evan's life became very peaceful after that. Sheriff Chandler was stumped by the Johnson case and couldn't make time to pay attention to Evan. Mrs. Sanders was even more annoyed by the church thing and wanted to change. With eight actions, the honest assistant priest was obviously unable to adapt to a cathedral like Derain Real, and many things were handled by Mrs. Sanders.
Because of the busy relationship between these two people who have the best relationship with Evan, Evan's days at Cornwall Manor have been clean. He usually reads books, chats with the Duke, and then pays attention to the progress of the case. , the other Evans basically don't even have to ask.
But it is such a life, but it is broken by one person.
On the afternoon when Evan could get out of bed and walk around, the people sent by the church finally came.
He was brought directly to Cornwall Manor by Mrs. Sanders. At that time, Evan was drinking afternoon tea in the garden, and Duke Wilson was sitting opposite Evan, talking to him with a smile. Led by Mrs Sanders and a valet, they walked along the rose bush towards Evan and Duke Wilson.
Evan squinted at the person who came. The man was very tall, almost a foot taller than Mrs. Sanders. He looked only about thirty years old, and his appearance was very ordinary, but the temperament between his eyebrows was very refined. , does seem to be a normal gentleman.
But Evan looked at this man, and his heart suddenly fell.
When he took over this body before, he also accepted the memory of this body. If Evan remembered correctly, Evan knew this man.
Sure enough, after the visitor came forward, he first saluted Duke Wilson, then turned to look at Evan, smiling very gently: "Bruce, when I first heard this name, I guessed it was. You, I didn't expect it to be true."
Evan looked at this person and couldn't really laugh. If he remembered correctly, there was absolutely no good relationship between this person and the original owner.
"Senior Ferde, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still the same as before."
Evan's words were polite and restrained, and there were hardly any excess emotions overflowing, but even so, Duke Wilson, who was sitting beside him, suddenly seemed to be touched by something, and the string in his heart suddenly tensed. .
He straightened his back, and looked at the mild-mannered Ferd with a bit of alertness, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Fuld still looked at Evan with a smile, and whispered, "Junior Bruce, you are very different from before."
Evan's heart sank, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Really, after all, it has been so long."
Fuld looked at Evan with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Yeah, it's really been too long."
"How long?" Duke Wilson asked immediately, unwilling to be excluded from between the two.
Ford was stunned by the Duke's question for a while, and then looked at Duke Wilson, who was sitting on the side with a wary expression. He raised his eyebrows, as if he knew something, and curled the corners of his lips sarcastically. , whispered: "Maybe it's been eight years, Lord Duke." After that, he glanced at Evan again: "What do you think? Junior Brother Bruce?"
Evan tried his best to maintain his expression and nodded slightly: "It seems so, your memory is very good."
Just now, he quickly sorted out his memories. This Verde indeed played a large part in the life of the original owner. When Evan was still in public school, he met this senior, and Verde was an earl. The youngest son of the family, with an outstanding family background, is even more influential in school, and Evan is just the son of a squire, how can he compare to Ferd.
So he used his little cleverness to get involved with this nobleman, but he didn't expect that this person had some kind of indescribable affection for Evan. The original owner was a straight and straight man, naturally impossible In response to this feeling, on the contrary, he was terrified, and immediately fled the senior, and trampled his feelings severely, said a lot of terrible things, and spread the matter out. I don't know, but I also know that the result will not be very good.
Duke Wilson couldn't stand the look that Ferd looked at Evan. He always felt that something in Evan that he couldn't grasp began to spread, and he hated this feeling very much.
"Mr. Ferd, are you sent by the church to handle the church's accounts?" Duke Wilson, regardless of the undercurrent between the two, immediately opened up the topic simply and rudely.
Fuld took a look at Duke Wilson, smiled meaningfully, and whispered: "Yes, this is the purpose of my visit, but I heard from Mrs. Sanders that the culprit in this matter has been determined. ?"
The person he asked was Evan, but Duke Wilson didn't give Evan any chance to speak, and immediately said: "It is indeed found, but he is also dead."
Fuld was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Sanders didn't have time to tell him about it.
