William walked down the stairs, saw Evan standing there, and waved at him gently.
"Have you eaten? If you're done, accompany me to pick up the bride." He stood still a few steps away from Evan, and said to Evan with a gentle face, as if the two of them were Really close brothers.
Evan couldn't laugh at this time. He felt that the current situation was a little weird. Although he knew that he should be very similar to William before, he didn't know that the two of them were so similar.
"It's better for you and Hugh to go there." Old Bruce gave Evan a meaningful look: "Evan stays here and has to do things for me."
Hearing this, William couldn't help but smile, and the face that originally resembled Evan became more gentle.
"Alright then." He nodded at Evan and walked out.
And the young man Evan had just met also hurriedly chased out, and glanced at Evan again before leaving, maybe the two of them were really too similar.
After William and several of his friends left, the entire hall seemed a bit empty. Old Bruce walked over to Evan with complicated eyes.
"Go and help entertain the guests, today is your brother's big day, you have to be careful." Although he tried his best to say mild words, he still seemed a little stiff.
Evan nodded, since he came to Bruce's house, he had to make some kind of compromise.
The people who came today, Evan, basically didn't know him, but these people recognized him at a glance with the appearance he and William imagined. Fortunately, butler Ross was there to assist, otherwise Evan didn't know how to end it. .
As time went on, more and more people came, until finally the entire Bruce family's castle fell into laughter and laughter, and Evan saw a white carriage slowly passing along the wide boulevard in front of the castle. Come.
Old Bruce had already received the message, and he was blushing as he led the guests out of the house to welcome the bride and groom.
Evan also followed the bustling guests, but he didn't have much interest in the wedding and just hung around in a less conspicuous place.
After a short while, Evan heard fierce applause and cheers erupting from the front. He couldn't see what was going on, but he was generally clear that it should be the groom and the bride.
Then old Bruce's loud voice came over, and he praised William and Victoria's marriage with great affection, and then smiled and greeted Victoria's father.
After a while, the group walked towards the castle. Evan carefully glanced at Victoria who was wearing a white wedding dress, with brown hair and green eyes, and a slender figure. She was indeed a beauty.
Old Bruce and Victoria's father chatted happily, while William was very gentlemanly letting Victoria take his arm with a gentle smile on his face.
If the previous weird atmosphere was ignored, Evan had to sigh a match made in heaven, but it was too weird before, and Evan still had a bit of precaution in his heart at this time.
The wedding after that was very grand. They swore an oath to exchange rings in a local church, and then returned to the Bruce's castle to celebrate. Old Bruce seemed to have invited everyone he could. With a hundred people participating, if there are not enough servants for the whole scene, I am afraid it will get out of control.
But even in such a happy and exciting scene, there is still nothing to do with Evan. Since the weird meeting and conversation at the beginning, old Bruce and William seem to have almost forgotten his existence and never looked for him again. Evan He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To tell the truth, in this wedding, he would rather play a silent role than deal with the father and son anymore.
Evan was on pins and needles at the wedding, but Duke Wilson didn't give in much at this time. He was walking around the room almost impatiently. Old Bruce's unusual urging and invitation to Evan also made him suspicious, but Unlike Evan, who was sitting still, he immediately sent people to investigate the matter.
But until today, the person he sent out to find out the news has been gone for three days, but there is still no news, and today is the wedding, but he doesn't know why, and he always feels a little flustered.
Just as Duke Wilson was walking around the house almost a hundred times, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Duke Wilson quickly walked to the door and opened the door. Butler Chris's calm and old-fashioned face appeared outside the door.
"Lord Duke, Kevin asks to see you."
Kevin is really the man Duke Wilson sent out to investigate this matter.
"Let him in!" Duke Wilson said almost impatiently.
Butler Chris gave Duke Wilson a slightly surprised look, but he didn't say anything, turned and left.
After a while, a capable little man appeared at the other end of the stairs, Duke Wilson frowned at him, and whispered: "Come in!"
Kevin was startled by Duke Wilson standing at the door, and quickly walked in, bending over to salute.
"My lord, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"Don't talk nonsense! Tell me how you checked?" Duke Wilson asked immediately, impatient with the red tape.
Kevin couldn't help shaking. He didn't expect the Duke to take this matter so seriously. When he clearly ordered him, he just ordered it casually.
"Yes." He didn't dare to think any more, and immediately said: "I checked Mr. Bruce according to your instructions, and I didn't find anything special about him, but I found that Pastor Bruce's brother, Mr. William Bruce , was diagnosed with tuberculosis two months ago, and he is afraid that he will not live for two years."
Speaking of this, Kevin couldn't help shaking. Tuberculosis in this era is like death, and ordinary people have no room for resistance.
Duke Wilson was stunned when he heard the news. Evan's brother has tuberculosis? But today he...
Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning: "Does his fiancee know about his illness?"
When Kevin mentioned this, his expression became a little unnatural. He secretly glanced at Duke Wilson and said in a low voice: "He... he... he did this very secretly, and it took me a lot of effort to check it. When it came out, his fiancee should not know."
In Kevin's opinion, what the Bruce family did is really inauthentic, but he also knew very well that Pastor Bruce's position in Duke Wilson's heart, so his words were more euphemistic.
Duke Wilson's expression became more and more ugly. He had seen the invitation letter they sent to Evan before. He had seen the name of the bride. It was the daughter of a member of parliament who had a good relationship with him. The earl's younger brother, his wife is from a famous family, so the family is very wealthy, and he values this daughter very much. It is impossible for him to marry his daughter to a man who has tuberculosis.
Is Bruce trying to cheat? This was the first idea that popped into Duke Wilson's mind, and then he immediately rejected it. Even if he is married now, this matter will be discovered sooner or later. It is a bit of a loss to risk offending a member of parliament. .
Duke Wilson suddenly fell into contemplation, what does old Bruce want to do? Not only did he hide his eldest son's condition, but he also called Evan back in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Duke Wilson suddenly moved in his heart, Evan! He couldn't help but have a series of very terrible thoughts in his mind. Could it be that he wants to marry that woman to Evan
"Which Master Bruce is the person getting married today?" Duke Wilson clenched his fists tightly, his eyes terrifying.
For him, this thought was like the end of the world.
"Ah?" Kevin looked at Duke Wilson with some surprise. Isn't this obvious
"Yes, it's Master William Bruce." Although Duke Wilson's reaction was somewhat strange, Kevin replied obediently.
Duke Wilson was relieved to hear this answer, but he couldn't help but think badly: "Are you sure?"
Kevin felt more and more inexplicable: "Lord Duke, I watched Master William Bruce marry Miss Victoria and pick him up at home. Although he looks almost exactly the same as Pastor Bruce, Mr. Pastor is definitely not as weak as him." Wen said very confidently.
Duke Wilson suddenly turned his head to look at Kevin: "What did you say?" He stared at Kevin with a very rare panic in his eyes.
Kevin was startled and couldn't help but took a step back, but Duke Wilson pressed forward, grabbed his shoulders tightly, and asked fiercely, "Say it again!"
Kevin shivered with fear, he had never seen Duke Wilson so angry.
"I... I, I said that I saw William Bruce go to greet the bride, he... He looks exactly like Pastor Bruce!" Kevin finally grasped the point of what he said just now, and his expression changed instantly. pale, won't you...
Duke Wilson sucked in a breath and let go of the hands that were holding Kevin. William and Evan looked exactly the same. Just by saying this, Duke Wilson could think of many terrible things. Old Bruce is a man greedy for power. Man, he couldn't give up such a firm backer as Victoria's father, and he would do everything in his power to seize the marriage, Duke Wilson was quite sure of that.
So at this time, although he didn't know what old Bruce was going to do, the panic in his heart made him restless.
"Go get the car ready! I'm going to Bruce's house!" Duke Wilson's tone was very cold.
**
Evan sat in the living room and looked at William and Victoria in the middle of the dance floor, squinting slightly. After the afternoon buffet, there was a grand dance in the evening.
After the song ended, William took Victoria's hand and walked out of the dance floor, and it was time to leave, Evan thought, with a body like William's, I'm afraid it would be enough to dance a single dance.
But what Evan didn't expect was that William led Victoria and walked in his direction.
Evan frowned slightly, but stood up anyway.
"Brother William, Miss Victoria." He nodded slightly, with good etiquette.
William smiled at him very gently: "Victoria, this is my brother Evan."
Victoria couldn't help exclaiming the moment she saw Evan, he and William were so similar.
"Oh William, I didn't believe what you said before, it's amazing, Evan and you are so similar." Victoria couldn't help laughing.
William still nodded reservedly: "The Bruce family has always had a very obvious family imprint. Evan and I are the same mother, so naturally we look alike."
The first time Evan heard this statement, he couldn't help but glance at William, but William didn't look at Evan, but took out double the champagne and a glass of white water from the passing footman, and handed the champagne to him. After meeting Evan and Victoria, he smiled and said, "I can't drink, you don't mind."
Evan smiled very politely, touched a glass with him and Victoria lightly, and took a sip of wine.
