Chapter 48: relationship between the two
After Evan's confession, Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a much softer expression, he couldn't help walking to Evan and whispered: "If it is as you said If so, 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 get involved in this matter. You, I will personally explain to him the entanglement between me and Mr. Ferd. I just thought that if I was accused by Mr. Ferd, I don't want you to have a bad impression of me. It's 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: "You Don't worry, I have complete confidence in your character."
Duke Wilson didn't have any embarrassment when he said this, even if he had doubted Evan before, but he didn't mind saying something when he could obviously win Evan's favor lie.
Evan twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard it. Of course he knew that the duke had a heart for him before, but he was not stupid enough to break through this matter. What he hoped most was to keep Duke Wilson was fond of 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 joy, he coughed a few times , said in a low voice, "It's so late, and your health is not good, so you should take a rest."
Evan nodded: "You have been busy all day, so take a rest."
After speaking, she 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 the future will depend on his fate. I just hope that what the original owner did back then was secret enough.
Evan didn't sleep well that night, he couldn't fall back asleep at 5 am, he didn't force himself to sleep, got up directly, and didn't call the servant in, but He dressed himself, took the book the Duke gave him earlier, and went to the balcony.
Horizon, the emotions agitated in his heart, can't stop overflowing, this world, since he is here, he must not 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 still a young man and looked a little cramped. Seeing that Evan was already up, the expression on his face became even more anxious. : "You... I'm really sorry, I didn't get up early and 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."
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 seems that he has 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, put on a formal suit jacket, and then walked 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, which 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 right, today It's Colonel Mel's birthday, he threw a birthday party and invited almost the whole town, and he worked under my father before, and I want to give him a face."
Colonel Meyer? 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.
"That's the case, then do I need to go?" 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 talking 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 completely healthy. How will you go this time?" Duke Wilson was afraid that his arbitrary actions would frighten Evan, so he could only asked tentatively.
Evan smiled slightly: "Colonel Mel is a parishioner and is usually very friendly to the church. It would be rude if I didn't go."
Although Duke Wilson was a little reluctant, he also understood that Evan still had to live in Derain, and some things could not be avoided.
"You are right, then you can go with me. Colonel Mel has always treated you with great respect. If you go, he will welcome you." Duke Wilson Looking at Evan with some relief.
Evan curled his lips, but he couldn't understand Duke Wilson's strange feelings.
The two of them had breakfast, Duke Wilson went to the study to deal with business, and Evan continued his unfinished book downstairs, but although he seemed to be reading, he In fact, he was thinking about Duke Wilson.
Duke Wilson is a very emotional person in Evan's view. Although he looks very cold and arrogant on the surface, most of the time he does things, he relies on One's own likes and dislikes, for example, when it comes to people who like or dislike, the desire to live and the desire 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 an emotional person, you never know what he is going to do next, 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 came downstairs, already wearing a black coat and holding Evan's .
Evan met Wei Wei for a while, that coat was his favorite and the one he wore most often. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Evan's eyes.
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, he was suddenly a little uncertain at this time, who Duke Wilson took him.
When Evan raised his head again, he turned into 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 thoughtfulness, but I think I can still get up by myself."
Duke Wilson seemed to suddenly realize his rudeness. The man in front of him was a gentleman, and his appearance was obviously understanding of a 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 flustered look, 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 not dissatisfied.
"I'm so rude today." He said again embarrassedly.
Evan changed the topic 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 went out with Evan, the carriage was waiting outside the door, Evan first got on the carriage as a guest, 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, looking like he was looking at the Bible in his hand, but his heart was already in a mess, he hadn’t thought about how Duke Wilson viewed him before , but today, Duke Wilson's subconscious action proves that Duke Wilson still treats him in a weak position.
Evan was a little irritable for a while. He has not 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 was really When looking at him in this way, Evan hesitated a little. He had been a top all his life in his last life. Could it be that he would 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 Mayer was just a poor military officer when he retired, but he made a very successful investment and got a large amount of property, which he used in Derain Lille bought a large piece of land, as well as the city castle, and now Colonel Mel is a prestigious squire in Derain Lille.
Duke Wilson's carriage was very conspicuous all over Derain, so as soon as they entered Colonel Mel's site, they were treated differently, the carriage did not even stop, directly Go through the gate towards the castle.
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.
Yours was hurt, God bless you, and you're back to good health."
Evan didn't have much interaction with Colonel Mel, so he just smiled reservedly: "Thank you for your concern."
Duke Wilson frowned as he watched the gentle conversation between the two, and whispered, "Let's go first, Mr. Reverend is still a little weak."
Colonel Mel seemed to come back to his senses, and immediately said: "I was negligent, please come in, Sheriff Chandler has just come over, I once I heard that you have a very good relationship with the sheriff, so I can have a good chat this time."
Evan brows slightly, Sheriff Chandler is here too?
