Ferd actually came, Evan did not expect this.
"Where did you see Mr. Ferd?" Evan asked, frowning.
Billy looked a little uneasy because of Evan's expression, rubbed the corners of his clothes, and said with a twinkle in his eyes: "I... I was just taking care of flowers in the back garden, and just happened to see Mr. Ferd just walking through the forest. Middle path, he is heading towards the hut."
Evan doesn't believe too much in Billy's words. Billy is so old, it's the time to be naughty, if he can take care of the garden, it's better to say that he goes to the garden to catch bugs, which can convince him.
"Okay, I see, you did a good job." Evan still liked Billy's cleverness, even if he was naughty, Evan could endure it.
Hearing Evan say this, a smile finally appeared on Billy's face. As a host, Evan is very generous. Since he said this, he might have a reward.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Reverend." Billy smiled and took off his hat, not even seeing Mrs. Haydn's angry eyes.
Evan nodded, and Billy backed out.
After Billy left, Mrs. Haydn said apologetically, "Mr. Pastor, I'm so sorry, Billy is so uncultured."
Evan shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Madam, Billy is a lively young man, and I like him very much."
Seeing that Evan didn't mind Billy's recklessness, Mrs. Hayden was relieved. It was not easy for their family to find such a job, and there were not many good customers like Evan.
Mrs. Hayden left the dining table and went to the kitchen, and Mrs. Sanders looked at Evan with a worried expression: "Pastor Bruce..."
Evan raised his hand to stop Mrs. Sanders' question, and said warmly, "Madam, don't worry, it's alright."
Before, he asked Mrs. Sanders to spy on Ferd for him, using the excuse of being afraid of Ferd's bad intentions. Now that Ferd came to him as soon as he came back, Mrs. Sanders was inevitably worried.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the servant Tom walked in and said in a low voice, "Mr. Reverend, Mr. Ferd is here."
Evan nodded: "Please come in, Mr. Ferd."
After a while, Ferd followed Tom into the living room of Evan's hut. He looked at Evan with a very calm expression, as if the one who instigated Arya to provoke Evan and Edward was not him.
"Pastor Bruce, it's great to see you recover." Verde was very mild.
Evan nodded politely: "Please sit down."
The two sat down in the living room, but fell into awkward silence for a while.
Evan didn't want to speak first. Who knows what Fuld's idea was this time, he didn't want to get into Fuld's trap.
Seeing that Evan didn't say a word, Ferd couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he didn't see it before, he was actually such a cautious person.
"Pastor Bruce, how have you been at the duke's mansion these days?" Finally, Ferd was the first to speak.
Evan did not expect that he would ask this, so he raised his eyebrows: "Very well, the Duke is a very hospitable gentleman."
"Hospitality?" Ferd looked at Evan almost sarcastically: "Your words are really interesting, but in my opinion, the Duke is not hospitable, but pays great attention to you."
Evan clenched his fist lightly, and he knew that the undercurrent between him and Duke Wilson was turbulent, and it was absolutely impossible to hide it from Ferd.
"The Duke and I are indeed good friends." Evan's face was still calm, and there was no embarrassment to be exposed.
Seeing that he was so indifferent, Ferd couldn't help but feel more and more hatred in his heart. He treated himself so ruthlessly back then, and now he is here to seduce the duke, how shameless!
"Humph!" Ferd completely tore off his disguise. He strode up to Evan and looked at Evan condescendingly: "Bruce! You don't need to play with me! What kind of person are you, No one in this world knows better than me!"
Evan looked up at Ferd, the anger on his face was so clear, the hatred in his eyes could almost swallow people.
"Ford, what happened back then has passed. I have done very bad things. Now I sincerely ask for your forgiveness."
Evan knew that this matter had to be resolved, but he did not expect that Ferd would choose today, but in any case, he would go on with this matter according to his own plan.
Ferd was a little surprised when he heard Evan's words, but when he looked at Evan's sincere eyes, he was a little dazed, he still remembered what happened when he and Evan were in public school , that was probably the best time in his life, but it also became his worst nightmare in the days to come.
Ferd's softened heart suddenly hardened again. He looked at Evan and smiled grimly: "Forgive?" He seemed to understand the meaning of the word: "You let me forgive you?"
"Hahaha!" He laughed loudly: "Do you know how I came here in the past few years?" He looked straight at Evan.
Evan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong with Felder.
"I'll tell you what I've been through in the past few years, and then think about it again, can I forgive you." Ferd said softly, he slowly sat opposite Evan, with an extremely cold gaze Look at Evan.
"At that time, you rejected me severely, and then left the public school. At that time, it was like the end of the world for me. But the most painful thing is more than that..." Glancing at Evan.
"The rumor spread to the entire public school in an instant. I became the target of public criticism. The school administrator asked me to drop out of school. My father wanted to cut ties with me." , like a sharp sword, stabbed Evan fiercely.
"Until the end, I didn't know that these pains were actually caused by you, the person I thought about day and night." When Ford said this, there was a mockery in his tone, which also implied With a deep self-loathing, it seems that he is very disgusted with the past self.
Listening to his words, Evan didn't know what to say for a while. To be honest, Evan also felt a little inappropriate about what the original owner did. Although it was also a scheming, the original owner's method, It's really a bit rude. After all, Ferde didn't do anything to feel sorry for him. On the contrary, he was very good to the original owner. Now that this result has been caused, Evan is actually very innocent.
"Ford..." Evan seemed to speak with difficulty. Although he disagreed with the original owner's approach, it had nothing to do with himself, and he couldn't take the blame.
"I know your hatred for me, and I regret what I did back then. I..." Evan stopped talking and looked very complicated.
Seeing Evan like this, Ferd frowned. He thought that Evan would try his best to deny it, or try to whitewash himself, but the way he is now is really beyond his expectations.
"Huh! You don't need to pretend to be a ghost." Although Ferd doubted Evan's attitude in his heart, he still wouldn't give up his hatred for Evan for so many years: "What you did is so cruel, I will never let it go. Yours." Fuld looked at Evan with a cold smile in his eyes.
Evan sighed deeply, and he glanced at Ferd with deep meaning in his eyes.
"I know your hatred for me, but please stay sensible and don't do anything drastic. After all, everyone else is innocent."
Ferd smiled contemptuously at Evan, stood up and walked to the door, and then couldn't help turning his head to look at Evan, and whispered: "You don't need to play this kindness in front of me. The drama, your viciousness and shallowness, no one knows better than me."
After saying that, Ferd turned and left the room.
Evan sat in the same place, and his original painful face suddenly became unpredictable. He looked at the direction of Ferd's departure, and his mind was full of thoughts. Why did Ferd come today? He will never aim at nothing, and it is absolutely impossible for this provocation to be caused by his selfishness. Ferd must have other tricks, and he must not relax his vigilance.
But thinking of Duke Wilson, Evan's heart was relieved again, as long as the Duke was there, everything would be no problem.
**
After Ferd left Evan's cabin, the originally excited mood gradually calmed down. He did not expect that he would be so excited before, but when he faced Evan, when he saw that he was so kind and peaceful When he expresses people outside, the hatred in his heart can't stop overflowing.
He can't accept that the person who ruthlessly abandoned him and designed to frame him would have a better life, and seduced a more powerful person. This is something he can't imagine. In his mind, this person should be To fall into the mortal world, and then rot and stink in a sewer, instead of appearing in front of people's eyes like it is now.
Ferd clenched his fist tightly.
Since the duke likes his purity and kindness, he will let the duke know what kind of vicious heart lies behind the face of Bruce's angel.
There was a hint of coldness on the corner of Ferd's mouth. The person he was looking for was about to come, and Bruce's good days were coming to an end.
Ferd left Evan's hut along the tree-lined path. The warm countryside scenery around him could not shake his icy heart. The softness in his heart had long since been sent to the monastery by his father to forcibly cure his despicableness. When he was gay, he was already buried, and now there is only the flame of revenge in Ferd's heart.

After Ferd left, Mrs. Sanders knocked on the door and walked into the living room. Evan was still sitting there, and Mrs. Sanders looked at his worried face.
"Pastor Bruce, are you all right?"
Evan pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm fine, I made you worry."
Mrs. Sanders couldn't laugh at all, she could see that things were not very harmonious between Evan and Ferd.
"What happened to you and Mr. Ferde? Why are you so arguing?" In the living room just now, Ferde's high-pitched rebuke was faintly heard. Although he couldn't hear the words, his attitude was still very sharp. clear.
Evan didn't answer this question, he just gave a wry smile. He had a hunch that Ferde's actions were just in the past few days.
