After Evan's confession, Duke Wilson's expression was obviously softened when he looked at Evan. He couldn't help walking to Evan and whispered: "If it's what you said, then in this matter, There is nothing wrong with you, please leave this matter to me, and I will give Mr. Ferd an explanation."
After listening to Evan, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he still had a worried look on his face, and whispered: "No, I don't want to involve you in this matter, Mr. Ferd and I are not involved. I will explain the previous entanglement to him personally, I just think, if I am accused by Mr. Ferd, I don't want you to have a bad impression of me, this is very important to me."
Duke Wilson looked straight at Evan, the beating of his heart was deafening, what did he mean by this sentence? Did he take his relationship with him so seriously? Duke Wilson felt an ecstasy in his heart.
Duke Wilson's hand couldn't help but tremble a little, he clenched his fist tightly, hid his face in the shadows, tried his best to keep a very calm voice, and said, "Don't worry, I treat you well. Total trust."
Duke Wilson didn't have any embarrassment when he said this, even though he had suspected Evan before, but he didn't mind telling lies when he could obviously win Evan's favor.
Hearing this, Evan twitched his lips slightly. Of course, he knew that the Duke had a heart for him before, but he was not stupid enough to break the matter. What he hoped most was to maintain Duke Wilson's goodwill towards him.
Just as the two of them stood facing each other with their own thoughts, the bell downstairs broke the silence between them, Duke Wilson finally woke up from his joy, he coughed a few times, and whispered: "The time is so It's late, and your health is not good, so you should rest."
Evan nodded: "You have been busy all day, so take a rest."
After saying that, he turned and went back to the room.
When Evan returned to the room, he leaned against the door limply, and finally sat down on the ground along the door.
Today, his plan finally took the first step. Duke Wilson's preconceived ideas finally laid the cornerstone, and his fate will depend on the future. I only hope that what the original owner did back then was sufficiently secretive.
Evan didn't sleep peacefully that night. He couldn't fall asleep again at five o'clock in the morning. He didn't force himself to sleep. The book that the duke gave him before, went to the balcony.
The air in the morning is very fresh. Evan is wearing a coat, but he still feels a little cold. At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and it is still a little gray outside. Evan looks at the distant horizon, and the emotion in his heart stops. It kept overflowing, in this world, since he came, he could never be defeated so easily.
Evan sat on the balcony for a long time, until the servants were up, and his door was knocked.
Evan closed the book on his lap and whispered, "Come in."
The man who came in was really a manservant who served him. The manservant was a young man and looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that Evan was already up, the expression on his face became even more anxious: "You... I'm so sorry, I I didn't get up early, and I didn't serve you well."
Evan waved his hand indifferently and said in a low voice, "I can't sleep a little today, I just woke up early, and it has nothing to do with you."
The manservant sighed with relief and said, "I see, Mr. Pastor, breakfast is ready, please go downstairs to eat."
Evan raised his eyebrows, and if he went downstairs to eat, it means that the duke was there, and the duke did not leave prematurely today. It seemed that he had eliminated the estrangement with himself.
"Okay, I'll come down soon, you go down first." Evan lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face, said warmly.
The valet bowed, turned and left.
Evan walked into the room from the balcony, put down the book in his hand, and put on a formal suit jacket before walking downstairs.
When Evan went downstairs, Duke Wilson was already sitting at the dining table. He was wearing a very formal three-piece brown striped suit, and a smoky gray dark-patterned tie made him look very heroic.
Evan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Are you going out today?"
Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, which was almost his rare warmth. He pointed to the seat beside him and said softly: "You guessed it, today is Colonel Mel's birthday, he Held a birthday party and invited almost the whole town, he worked under my father before, I want to give him a face."
Colonel Mel? Evan thought of the mild-mannered middle-aged man, who was a rare officer in the town and had been in contact with him a few times before.
"So that's the case, then do I need to go there?" Evan is the pastor of the town, and it is impossible for Colonel Mel to not invite Evan.
Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning when he heard him talk about this. What he disliked the most was Evan's contact with others, and he didn't want to see him smile at anyone other than himself.
"Colonel Mel did send you an invitation, but your health is not yet fully recovered. How will you go this time?" Duke Wilson asked tentatively for fear that Evan would be frightened by his arbitrariness.
Evan smiled slightly: "Colonel Mel is a parishioner of the diocese, and he is usually very friendly to the church. It would be rude for me not to go."
Although Duke Wilson was a little reluctant, he also understood that Evan still had to live in Delanlier, and some things could not be avoided.
"What you said is very true, then you can go with me. Colonel Mel has always respected you very much. If you go, he will welcome you." Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some relief.
Evan twitched the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't understand Duke Wilson's strange feelings.
The two of them had breakfast, Duke Wilson went to the study to handle business, and Evan continued downstairs with his unfinished book, but although he seemed to be reading, he was actually thinking about Duke Wilson. people.
In Evan's view, Duke Wilson is a very emotional person. Although he looks very cold and arrogant on the surface, most of the time he does things, he relies on his own likes and dislikes. Or when he hates people, love wants to live and evil wants to die. Evan has seen this kind of thing a lot in the past life, and he has basically managed to get along well in this life, but sometimes it is still dangerous, because Emotional people, you never know what he will do next time, so Evan secretly made up his mind that he must be more vigilant about Duke Wilson in the future, but such a passive thing cannot happen this time.
After Duke Wilson finished dealing with the matter, it was also the time that Colonel Mel had invited. The Duke walked downstairs, already wearing a black coat and holding Evan's in his hand.
Evan met Wei Wei for a while, and that coat was his favorite and the one he wore most often, and Evan's eyes suddenly flashed with bright and dim light.
Duke Wilson walked up to Evan, bowed slightly, and stretched out his arm towards Evan: "It's time."
Evan looked at the arm in front of him, squinted his eyes slightly, and immediately lowered his head. At this moment, he was suddenly a little uncertain about who Duke Wilson took him to be.
When Evan raised his head again, he became the gentle priest again. He didn't take the Duke's arm, but stood up a little slowly, and said warmly, "Thank you for your consideration, but I think I can still get up on my own."
Duke Wilson seemed to suddenly realize his rudeness. The man in front of him was a gentleman, and his expression clearly understood the lady, and his face instantly became a little helpless.
"No... No..." Duke Wilson stammered and waved his hand: "I'm just afraid that you will open the wound, and there is no other meaning."
Seeing Duke Wilson's panicked appearance, Evan slightly hooked the corner of his mouth: "I know what you mean, you don't have to worry."
Duke Wilson carefully looked at Evan's expression, and he was relieved to see that he was indeed not dissatisfied.
"I'm so rude today." He said again embarrassedly.
Evan changed the subject this time and said with a smile: "The time has come, let's go first."
Duke Wilson was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and walked out with Evan. The carriage was waiting outside the door. As a guest, Evan got into the carriage first, and then the Duke came up.
The two walked towards Colonel Mel's manor amid the sound of hoofs.
Evan leaned against the carriage window and looked like he was looking at the Bible in his hand. In fact, his heart was already in a mess. He had never thought about how Duke Wilson viewed him before, but today, Duke Wilson's kind The subconscious action proved that Duke Wilson still regarded him in a weak position.
Evan was a little irritable for a while. He hadn't experienced this feeling of being regarded as weak for a long time. He showed weakness before, which was also a gesture he made deliberately, but when he knew that the Duke really treated him like this, Evan But he was a little hesitant. He had been a top all his life in the past life. Could it be that he will capsize in the gutter in this life.
Evan's ideas did not lead to any substantial progress, and their carriage soon reached Colonel Mel's castle.
Colonel Mel was just a poor military officer when he retired, but he made a very successful investment and got a large amount of property, and he used these assets to buy a large piece of Delan Lier The land, and the castle, and Colonel Mel is now a prestigious squire in Dranlier.
Duke Wilson's carriage was very conspicuous throughout Derain, so as soon as they entered Colonel Mel's site, they were treated differently. The carriage didn't even stop, and went straight through the gate towards the castle. go.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the castle, and Colonel Mel came out to meet him. Duke Wilson got out of the car first, and Evan followed.
Colonel Mel was surprised for a moment when he saw Evan, but then put on a very friendly smile and said warmly: "Mr. Pastor, I didn't expect you to come here, I heard that you were injured, God bless you. , thank you for your recovery."
Evan and Colonel Mel didn't have much interaction, so he just smiled reservedly: "Thank you for your concern."
Duke Wilson frowned as he watched the gentle conversation between the two, and said in a low voice, "Let's go first, Mr. Reverend's body is still a little weak."
Colonel Mel seemed to have come back to his senses, and immediately said: "I was negligent, please come in quickly, Sheriff Chandler has just come over, I have heard that you have a very close relationship with the Sheriff. Well, this time we can have a good chat."
Evan's eyebrows moved slightly, and Sheriff Chandler came too
