Arya couldn't tell how she felt about the priest. When she first realized that Duke Wilson was different from him, she didn't take it seriously, but then more and more The signs made her gradually feel a little weird.
Arya's sixth sense made her realize that there was some kind of problem between the two people, and although Arya had lived in the small town of Delan Lier since she was a child, she was not really ignorant of the world. She had also heard of a special hobby of the gentlemen of the era, but she never imagined that the Duke Wilson, whom she respected, would have such a problem.
Arya's heart is very complicated. She was only guessing before, but Ferd's determination made it even more difficult for her to accept.
Arya bit her lower lip lightly, her expression unpredictable.
Dr. Hester saw that Arya was suddenly standing still, and hurriedly turned around and called her in a low voice: "Arya!"
Dr. Hester's expression was so serious that Arya herself was taken aback.
"Let's go." Dr. Hester's face was ashen, he thought Arya was going to do something unexpected again.
Seeing Dr. Hester so anxious, Arya nodded slightly and followed.
Arya and Dr. Hester came to the side hall where the guests were entertained. In the side hall, many local gentlemen from Derainlier also gathered, and the most conspicuous one was Chandler who was standing in the middle with a red face. Sheriff Chandler, the thorny case has finally been solved at this time. Sheriff Chandler has been very excited these days.
"Oh, my dear doctor, you are finally here." Sheriff Chandler, because of his great height, saw the Hesters and daughters walking in at a glance.
"And Miss Arya, I haven't seen you for a long time." Sheriff Chandler gave a very gentle salute.
Arya smiled a little bit nervously. She has been waiting for Edward's arrival, and only then will she have a chance.
It was Dr. Hester who chatted with Sheriff Chandler with great interest. Regarding this case, Dr. Hester obviously had many theories and wanted to communicate with Sheriff Chandler. It's bitter, but it's really hard to refuse, you must know that Dr. Hester is still very prestigious in Delanlier.
Dr. Hester was completely involved in this treacherous case, and it didn't take long for her to forget about Arya's existence. Arya secretly withdrew her hand from Dr. Hester's arm, holding the corner of her skirt towards He walked to Edward's room in his memory.
Because of the large number of people coming this time, no one noticed Alia's actions. She slipped to the second floor very smoothly, but stopped when she passed Evan's room. She was very curious. What kind of magic power does Mr. Wilson have to be favored by a cold gentleman like Duke Wilson.
Arya looked at the door with some hesitation, and finally left. Now is not the time to care about this matter. Edward is the most important thing. As long as she has control of Edward, Pastor Bruce will not pose a threat.
Arya confirmed her thoughts and walked directly to Edward's room on the third floor.
When Arya left completely, the door that was closed suddenly opened, and Evan's expressionless face appeared behind the door. He looked at Arya's tiptoe back with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As expected.
Arya quickly came to the door of Edward's room and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, a childish voice came from the door: "Who?" There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
Alia couldn't help but froze when she heard such an unfamiliar tone, and then reacted immediately, groaning in her heart, and hurriedly whispered: "It's me, Alia."
"Alia?" With a somewhat puzzled voice, the door was opened, and little Edward was wearing a suit and frowned at Arya.
Arya was relieved when she saw him. She knew that Edward hated being in close contact with other people except the Duke and Pastor Bruce, so if it was not out of necessity, there were usually few servants in his room.
"Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much." Arya said very sincerely.
Edward's impression of Arya is not bad. Although he has been estranged from not seeing each other in the past few days, he is still relatively close emotionally.
"Come in, Arya, it's great that you can come today." Edward's face immediately put on a pure smile.
Arya's expression was a little stiff. It seemed that even Edward was aware of the things she hated by the Duke.
Arya followed Edward into the room, and sat down again under Edward's warm reception, but looking at Edward's innocent face, she didn't know how to speak.
"Alia, do you have anything to do with me?" Although Edward was a child, the question he asked was to the core. Arya was the guest this time. At this time, she should not be in this place.
Arya took a look and glanced at Edward, his eyes were still innocent and pure, as if she didn't know how sharp the question she had just asked was.
"I... I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much, so I wanted to come and see you." Arya said with a dry smile.
This excuse is very ridiculous. Today is Edward's birthday, and he is the protagonist of the day. If she wants to see him, in ten minutes, I'm afraid that she doesn't want to see Edward.
But Edward didn't seem to realize that this excuse was so stupid, and still smiled innocently: "I miss you Arya very much too, you know, Evan read it to me a few days ago, you gave it to me before. The book that was given to me, but Evan said it was a bit advanced for me and not for my age."
When Arya heard these words, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. It was really abhorrent for someone like Pastor Bruce to criticize her taste, to slander her in front of a child.
"Lord Edward." Arya said very quickly: "Please don't believe what Pastor Bruce said, you are the only son of Duke Wilson, the knowledge reserve you need is far higher than that of a normal child, and that book is exactly you It should be read, you cannot lower your expectations by listening to the ridiculous words of Reverend Bruce, and you must always remember that you are an honorable lord."
Arya's remarks are full of irony, especially about Evan, her full of sarcasm, almost overflowing.
But Edward's face gradually turned cold with her words, but Arya didn't see such a change, he continued to say in a big way.
"Actually, what I want to tell you today is not only that, what I want to tell you is that you should also know that Mr. Verde, who came to Delanlier this time, has known Pastor Bruce before. He knows the pastor Bruce very well. According to him, the pastor Bruce is not as simple and kind as he appears. He is actually a very scheming person. He took this opportunity to recover and seduced Duke Wilson, Duke The Lord has developed feelings for him now, Lord, please stop such a terrible thing from happening, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the Duke will be ruined!"
Arya is like an upright warrior, looking at Edward with justice eyes, waiting for the child's reaction in her heart, or turning pale with fright and throwing herself into her arms for comfort, or immediately throwing Bruce away in anger. Evicted from Cornwall Manor.
No matter which result it is, Arya's heart is very happy.
It's just a pity that Edward didn't have any of the above reactions. He looked at Arya coldly without any expression on his face.
"This is what you want to say to me?" His tone was very cold, with a childish voice that looked a little weird.
Arya looked at Edward and couldn't help shivering. She had never seen Edward like this. Edward was always a weak and innocent child in her heart.
"I... I'm telling the truth." Arya's tone trembled slightly, and she suddenly found that things were not as simple as she thought.
"Huh! The truth?" Edward suddenly stood up from the chair, his short figure suddenly looked imposing at this moment.
"Miss Arya, you framed a gentleman in front of me with no evidence at all. You told me this is the truth? Then I ask you, if Pastor Bruce is as despicable as you say, what did he do? What?" Edward's eyes glowed with a dark light, looking very dangerous.
Arya looked at the child in front of her in disbelief. This was not the innocent child she knew before. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the child in front of her was a lord and a noble.
No nobleman in this world is pure.
"Love... Edward..." Arya looked at him and murmured. Of course she had no evidence. When she heard Ferd's suggestion on Bruce's personality, she didn't think about it at all, and subconsciously put this Things become facts, and at the same time pray for the approval of others.
Edward frowned, his tone was very cold: "Miss Arya, you should call me Lord Lord. Your behavior makes me very despised. The friendship between you and me will end here!"
When Arya heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of despair. Now, even Edward rejected her, which made her have no way out.
"Edward, no, my lord, listen to me, although I can't provide any evidence for Pastor Bruce's character, but I didn't lie about the matter between him and Duke Wilson. Now that the Duke has been attracted to him, This is absolutely true, you must believe me, the reputation of the Duke cannot be tarnished because of him, you must take action!"
Arya was not reconciled to being defeated like this, and made a final struggle before leaving.
Edward looked at Arya coldly and sneered: "Miss Arya, I don't think you have figured out the current situation! Why do you think I tried so hard to match you and Evan before? Of course it was because of me. Wanted Evan to stay with me, wouldn't it be better now that you told my father that he had feelings for him? He could stay in Cornwall forever, stay with me forever, that's great But it's a thing."
His expression was very cold, but his tone was very soft, which seemed very strange under such circumstances.
Arya was completely taken aback by him.
Looking at the stunned Arya, Edward leaned down gently and whispered in her ear: "By the way, Miss Arya, your words reminded me that this matter cannot be spread out, if I If I hear any news, then I think you did it, and what you need to pay is beyond my control."
Arya looked straight into Edward's eyes, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart. The child in front of him really doesn't look like a six-year-old child. He is simply a devil, a man who crawled out of hell. demon!
