Duke Wilson trembled as if he had been electrocuted. The name came out of Evan's mouth. I don't know if it was his delusion, but it always had a lingering meaning, making him feel like he was soaked in warm water. Yes, for a while, the whole person could not tell the difference between east, west and northwest.
He stared blankly at Evan, not knowing what to say.
Evan looked at him and smiled: "What's wrong with you?"
Duke Wilson reacted instantly, and the expression on his face became a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips, and there was a trace of discomfort in his expression.
"It's okay, my friend..." He paused slightly: "Evan."
When the name was called out, the firmness in his tone shocked Evan, but Evan still had a gentle look on his face, he smiled softly: "You call my name like this, so that I always It's a strange feeling."
Duke Wilson clenched his fists and said solemnly, "It's fine if you don't feel offended."
Evan smiled: "It's my honor to form a friendship with you."
Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and turned to: "How are you doing today?"
Evan smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I have a very good life. Sheriff Chandler came today, and with his company, I am not alone today."
"Sheriff Chandler has come?" Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect the sheriff to take advantage of this today.
"What did he tell you?" Duke Wilson was very worried that Evan would be dragged into this troublesome incident.
Evan looked stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What else could it be, but it's just this case. Sheriff Chandler doesn't have any clues, so he came to me to sort out the clues."
Duke Wilson showed a trace of disagreement in his eyes, but when he turned to look at Evan, he had a tender expression on his face: "You are not in good health now, I am afraid this kind of thing will affect your recovery, next If he comes again next time, you can also refuse."
He believes that the reason why Evan met with Sheriff Chandler was because he was soft-hearted and did not know how to reject others.
Evan smirked inwardly. He really didn't want to destroy his image, so he met Sheriff Chandler, but he also paid a certain amount of attention to this matter. For him, the world had a layer of estrangement. Yes, he first has to grasp all the things that go wrong.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health now, and I still have the energy to meet my old friends." Evan paused slightly when he said this: "It's just..."
"Just?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan in surprise.
"It's just that I'm a little worried about what's going on in the church." Evan smiled reluctantly, and a look of sadness flashed across his face.
"The church thing?" Duke Wilson frowned. "Is there something wrong with the church?"
Evan smiled wryly: "I didn't know it before, but when Sheriff Chandler came today, I just heard that the young assistant pastor didn't seem to be doing very well when he was doing mass on Sunday. I am very concerned about whether the Gospel of God can be spread well."
It's Chandler again! Duke Wilson thought fiercely in his heart, how could this man bring up such a thing at such a time.
"Don't worry." Duke Wilson smiled reluctantly: "This should be a joke by Sheriff Chandler. I haven't heard any complaints about this in the past few days. Your injury is important, if you don't take care of it. If you are hurt, you will be helpless even if you go."
Evan's brows were still worried, but he didn't say any more. He reluctantly nodded and said in a low voice, "I just hope my injury can heal as soon as possible."
Hearing Evan's words, Duke Wilson's heart was very complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that Evan's injury would heal immediately and get rid of the pain, but he also did not want Evan to leave Cornwall Manor.
In the end, Duke Wilson could only nod his head, his expression a little stiff.
Evan secretly felt a bit of joy in his heart. When Duke Wilson faced his feelings, he was simply like a blank piece of paper, and he could easily see his thoughts clearly.
It wasn't until the last time for lunch that Evan went to the dining room with the Duke.
After lunch, the Duke sent Evan upstairs. He originally wanted to send Evan into his own room, but after going upstairs, Evan raised an objection.
"Charles." He always had an ambiguous tone when he called the name, low and soft, which made Duke Wilson's heart skip a beat.
"I don't want to go back to my room, I want to read a book." He looked at Duke Wilson with sincere and pure eyes, and Wilson's throbbing heart suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"You... what book do you want to read?" Duke Wilson said in a slightly uneven tone.
Evan seemed to have not noticed, and smiled gently: "I don't know if you can visit your study. I have always heard that your study is the place with the most abundant books in the entire Derain."
Duke Wilson's heart beat so fast, as if there was a ticking clock, Duke Wilson only felt that his heart was about to explode.
"Okay...Okay..." He said two good words in a row, but his tone was a little dry and a little flustered.
Evan chuckled in his heart, Duke Wilson, what an interesting person.
Duke Wilson helped Evan into his own study. Evan looked at this solemn and elegant study, and couldn't help but admire for a while. There are indeed a lot of books in the collection, even more than the books in the church. The accumulation of nobles for generations has actually deeper than the church.
"Sure enough, you have a rich collection of books. You are really a learned person." Evan said with admiration.
Duke Wilson was secretly delighted for some reason. He held back the slightly raised corner of his mouth and said solemnly, "You have won the prize. These books are all left by our ancestors. I have only read one-tenth of them. I don't know what book you are interested in? I can get it for you."
The bookshelf on that floor is very high, and Evan's current physical condition is definitely not suitable for picking it up in person.
Evan couldn't help but smile and said warmly: "The bibliography about the church is just fine, thank you."
Duke Wilson patted Evan's shoulder stiffly, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't have to be between you and me."
After he finished speaking, he went to get the book. Looking at Duke Wilson's awkward back, Evan couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth. This person is really interesting.
Duke Wilson took the book back. Due to Evan's body, he deliberately chose a relatively thin and small book. After a few brief introductions, he helped Evan to the back of the desk opposite his desk. Whispered: "You don't want to go back to the room, just read here."
Evan looked up at the Duke's slightly uncomfortable expression, and smiled: "Okay, thank you."
The Duke waved his hand and walked to his desk. Evan could see a thick stack of parchment on his desk. He knew that the Duke had a lot of business to handle, so he didn't bother him and looked at him quietly. book.
In such a quiet afternoon, the gentle sunlight spilled into the study through the French windows on the balcony, and the comforting face was facing the window, and the gentle autumn sunlight covered him.
His pale blond hair looked exceptionally dazzling in the sun, and his azure blue eyes were like a lake, silent and warm.
Duke Wilson was sitting behind the desk, most of him was shrouded in shadows, he looked straight at Evan, like a weirdo who was walking alone in a corner, looking at the warmest sunshine in the world.
Duke Wilson's stunned look was finally awakened by a sudden knock on the door. He stood up abruptly from behind the table, and the harsh sound of dragging the chair made Evan couldn't help but turn his head.
"Sir? What's the matter with you?" Evan looked at the duke suspiciously.
The duke's expression was a little complicated, he threw a low 'nothing' and hurried to the door, and suddenly opened the door.
He was breathing rapidly, as if something in the room was preventing him from breathing.
The person at the door was startled by his appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Duke, what's the matter with you?"
Duke Wilson pursed his lips tightly, looked at Ederson, and said in a low voice, "Come here in five minutes." Edson came over in person, and there must be no good thing.
Ederson probed the room with some doubts, but unfortunately he didn't see anything. He chuckled in a low voice: "Okay, no matter what you say."
Ederson left, but Duke Wilson had to turn to face Evan.
Duke Wilson took a deep breath, and then he mustered up the courage to look at Evan. Evan looked at Duke Wilson curiously, and his eyes were full of exploration.
Duke Wilson couldn't help but curl up in his heart. He had a lot of things, and he couldn't completely spread it out in front of Evan. For this person in front of him, he didn't dare to spread out his dark side at all.
"Evan." His voice trembled slightly: "I still have things to deal with, you go back to your room first."
Evan frowned when he saw Duke Wilson tilting his head, his expression seemed a little innocent, what happened to Duke Wilson? Evan, who was outside the door just now, could see clearly that it was the unfamiliar gentleman today, the Duke's staff named Edson. Do they have any secret matters to discuss
The first thing Evan thought of was about the capital. Evan had the urge to ask, but in the end he restrained his thoughts, stood up slowly with the book in his arms, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb you, farewell."
Evan walked from the desk to the door step by step. Duke Wilson was standing there, unable to move at all. He watched Evan walk to his side, and then passed him, and he subconsciously held it back. Breathing, until Evan opened the door and walked out, Duke Wilson began to take a deep breath.
Duke Wilson was finally able to move at this time. He walked to the desk with heavy steps, and collapsed on the chair. He lay down on the back of the chair, covering his eyes with the back of his hands. I just thought he was going crazy.
How could he have such thoughts, such filthy thoughts...
Duke Wilson fell into a feeling of self-loathing. He always thought that his feelings for that person should be pure and without any impurities, but at this time, he realized that his evil thoughts were like a Like a poisonous snake, it grabbed his heart.
Duke Wilson couldn't help groaning, he felt that he was a little unable to face Evan.
After a long silence, the knock on the door rang again, but this time Duke Wilson did not stand up to open the door, but said in a low voice, "Come in."
The next moment, the door opened, and Ederson's mediocre face appeared behind the door.
