Chapter 20: heroine power
Sheriff Chandler felt like he was celebrating Christmas, he had everything he wanted, he sent Laura away excitedly, and pretended to call a few more people He came in to ask questions, and then left Lawrence's house with a contented expression on his face.
Mrs. Lawrence looked at Sheriff Chandler's cheerful back, a haze appeared in her eyes, she looked back at Laura, whose face was as white as a quail with fright, and there was a bit of anger in her eyes.
**
Sheriff Chandler went straight to the church as soon as he left Lawrence's house. He wanted to give Evan the good news, but he didn't want to be told by Dean George that Evan went to the Duke's mansion.
Evan was picked up by a carriage sent by Duke Wilson, and the reason for the invitation was also very fair. Lord Edward wanted to see Reverend Bruce.
Evan was sitting in the car thinking about this extraordinary invitation, and he was very unconvinced. What happened last time has drawn a gap in the relationship between him and Duke Wilson. This sudden invitation made him even more clueless.
The person who came to invite Evan was Butler Chris, who sat across from Evan with a stern face and said nothing.
Evan watched him hesitate, and finally gave up communication. You must know that the housekeeper at this time is very loyal to the master's feelings, especially for generations like the housekeeper Chris The man who served the Bruce family.
In the sound of the carriage, they finally arrived at the Cornwall Manor, still as gorgeous and calm as when Evan first came, Chris butler opened the door for him and took him from The carriage came in.
Evan stepped on the floor of Cornwall Castle once again, surrounded by delicate and bright, off-white European-style spiral staircase, with a faint soft light in the setting sun.
Duke Wilson walked down the stairs. He was wearing casual clothes today. His white shirt was slightly messy. This book, when I saw Evan, there was a little surprise in his eyes.
Evan couldn't help squinting his eyes, he had never realized so clearly like this moment, the man in front of him was so charming, delicate and flawless appearance, handsome like It's like walking out of the painting, but the coldness in his light brown eyes is daunting.
Unfortunately, these people do not include Evan.
"Your Majesty." Evan saluted him respectfully, as if the moment of daze just didn't happen at all.
"Pastor Bruce, why are you here?" Duke Wilson said a little strangely.
Evan raised his head and looked at the Duke in surprise: "Didn't you ask Butler Chris to invite me? I heard that Lord Edward wanted to see me."
Just as he was talking, Butler Chris came in.
"Chris, what the **** is going on?" The Duke frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke." Butler Chris was still expressionless: "Lord Edward's spirit has not been very cheered these days. I heard that it was because I really wanted to see Pastor Bruce. He took over Pastor Bruce on his own initiative."
Evan couldn't believe that the well-behaved butler Chris would do such a deceitful thing, Duke Wilson was afraid to be angry.
"You...why didn't you tell me earlier." Duke Wilson just frowned: "Let you take Pastor Bruce up."
Evan was very surprised. He glanced at Duke Wilson, but found that although he frowned, there was no displeasure in his eyes.
Evan pursed his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth drew an arc, and now he understood the duke.
Evan walked into Edward's room. It was as clean and spacious as last time. Edward was sitting on the carpet and playing with a small wooden horse. It was Evan, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Pastor Bruce!" He ran to Evan, a small hand gently pulled the hem of Evan's robe, with a clear smile in his eyes: "Why are you here? ."
Evan looked at these twinkling eyes, and his heart was also very comfortable. It seemed that his repeated actions were not in vain.
Evan lowered his body and half-squatted in front of Edward, smiled and said, "I'll come to see you, Lord Edward."
"You can just call me Edward, don't call me Lord." Edward said shyly, with a hint of shyness on his face.
Evan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Edward became happy when he heard this, and took Evan's hand to play the Trojan horse with him. Evan smiled and dealt with Edward, but he thought to himself, it seems that the current Edward, It is much more cheerful than last time.
Evan is not a child, of course, he is not interested in any small Trojan horses and carriages, so after dealing with it for a while, he is a little tired. At this moment, there is a crisp knock on the door. Voice.
Edward was playing with the Trojan horse on the ground, but he stood up immediately and ran to the door. Evan was surprised and stood up.
Edward quickly opened the door, then threw himself into the arms of the person outside the door, shouting: "Arya! You are finally here!"
Evan's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the sea.
He carried Edward into the room, but was obviously startled when he saw Evan, then smiled and said, "Pastor Bruce, why are you here?"
Evan was madly vigilant against the woman in front of her, and wished to **** Edward from her arms, but he still said gently, "It was Butler Chris who asked me to come here."
Edward got out of Arya's arms, walked to Evan, pulled the horn of his robe, and said to Arya: "Mr. Pastor came to see me, I am here. I've been wanting to see him for a few days, but I didn't expect him to come today!"
Poor little Edward has never enjoyed a gentle fatherly love, and Evan just fills the gap in his wounded heart.
Alia listened with a soft smile on her face: "Pastor Bruce is a noble person, you will definitely learn a lot if you can get along with him."
The words she said seemed to come from the bottom of my heart, but Evan couldn't help sneering in his heart, this Miss Alia, really can't get rid of it.
"Miss Arya has won the prize. I just came to visit Edward today. I didn't expect to meet Miss Arya." The look in Evan's eyes was a little cold.
But Arya didn't notice it at all, but smiled shyly: "I did something very sorry to Lord Edward before, so this time I came here to ask Lord Edward's forgiveness. "
Edward looked at Arya with some doubts: "What did you do, Arya? Why I don't know."
Alia was a little ashamed for a while: "I didn't take good care of you before you fell into the water by the lake, I'm really sorry."
Edward smiled: "I insisted on going to the lake, and it has nothing to do with Miss Arya."
Alia looked at Edward very moved and whispered: "You are really a kind person, I am ashamed of what I have done."
Evan's eyes suddenly became a little hazy. It seems that Edward and Arya's relationship is much better than he imagined. It was resolved so easily. The Duke said before that he didn't want to see Arya again, but I'm afraid that it has now expired.
Evan is not willing to stay in this place any longer, he needs to find a way to completely cut off the relationship between these two people, only in this way can he completely expel Arya from the game.
Evan nodded slightly: "Lord Edward, since Miss Arya is here, I will leave first, there are still many things to do in the church."
When Edward heard this sentence, he felt a little reluctant for a while. He gently pulled the corner of Evan's robe and whispered: "Can't you stay for a while? I want Hear you read the Bible for me."
Edward's attitude of attachment finally made Evan feel a little better, he smiled and stroked Edward's top of hair, and said warmly: "I'll read it for you next time, these few days Mrs Des is not here, things are too complicated in the church."
Edward is a reasonable child. When he heard this, he no longer bothered and nodded seriously: "Okay, but you must come over next time."
Evan nodded with a smile, turned and walked out.
Evan went down the stairs, but found Duke Wilson and Dr. Hester sitting downstairs talking something, and seeing Evan coming down, Duke Wilson was a little surprised.
"Pastor Bruce? Are you leaving?"
Evan smiled reservedly: "It's getting late, I should say goodbye."
"But Edward..." Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a complicated expression.
Evan just smiled: "With Miss Arya here, I think Lord Lord will recover soon."
Speaking of Arya, Duke Wilson's expression became uncomfortable for a moment, and then he said: "Alia and Edward have always had a good relationship, which can indeed be of great help."
The smile in Evan's eyes became colder and colder. It seems that Duke Wilson has greatly improved Alia.
Evan nodded slightly at Duke Wilson and was about to leave, but Dr. Hester suddenly stopped Evan.
"Pastor Bruce." Dr. Hester had a strange smile on his face: "Why did you leave in such a hurry, Alia has suffered a lot of spiritual torture these days, You are a pastor, and I would like to ask you to help Arya get out of her slump."
The smile on Evan's face stagnated for a moment, let him help Arya, why did he kill him without saying anything, but in order to maintain the image of a good priest, Evan was about to agree, who Zhi was one step ahead of Duke Wilson.
"Pastor Bruce has a lot to do in the church, so let this venerable pastor serve God."
Duke Wilson's tone was a little stiff, and the original smile on Evan's face froze. What does Duke Wilson mean?
