Chapter 56: so scheming
Alia couldn't say a word, she almost stumbled and ran out of the room, she couldn't believe that the child in front of her was the one who used to be so close to herself That child, that innocent and innocent little boy in his own eyes.
Alia leaned against the wall of the corridor panting heavily, so it seemed that the pure person was only herself, she was really naive!
Alia's worldview completely collapsed at this moment, she suddenly found that the world is not as simple as she imagined, the pastor who should be kind and kind, in the mouths of others, is a The thoughtful villain, the young child who was supposed to be innocent and pure, was so terrifying, Alia clenched her fists tightly in front of her chest, she was suddenly a little confused now, what should she do after that?
"Miss Arya?" Suddenly a gentle male voice came from Arya's side.
Alia turned her head suddenly as if she was burned by something, and Evan's gentle smile suddenly appeared in front of Alia's eyes.
Her heart jumped, and her whole body became a little nervous.
"B... Pastor Bruce?"
Evan looked at her like this, secretly groaned in his heart, and said softly: "Miss Arya, why are you here?"
As a guest of Cornwall Manor, it is not polite to walk around the manor at will.
Of course Arya could hear Evan's implication, and her face immediately flushed, and she whispered: "I...I want to borrow the bathroom."
Such an excuse is not very appropriate in this day and age, but Arya can think of this at a time like this.
Evan did not make any embarrassing expressions, just smiled and said: "Then I have to ask you to walk forward, the time for the dinner is coming, you too Come down quickly."
Alia bit her lower lip, her shame and disdain for Evan twisted into a ball in her heart, but in the end she could only nod her head without saying a word.
Evan looked at Arya's bowed head and sneered in his heart, Little Edward in the original was not a simple child, he was sensitive and dark, but all his feelings at that time All are pinned on the gentle Arya. For Arya, he has done a lot of terrible things, but now it is different. Arya has no chance to have further intimate contact with little Edward like in the original book. This Instead, it was replaced by him, and it is not surprising that there are today's results.
Evan stood there with a cold expression and watched Arya walk stiffly into the lady's washroom. Ferd got along very well with the Hester father and daughter at Delan Lille Church Mrs. Sanders had told him long ago that after going through the previous incident, this ruthless and serious lady had turned his senses over a hundred and eighty degrees, and Ferd had such deep feelings for him. Malicious, he is not a fool, naturally he will not let him act at will, and it is still on his own territory.
Evan's mouth evoked a sneer, Ferd wanted to choose a puppet with good control, then he would give him a surprise, let him feel it, Arya How easy is this puppet to control?
Evan went downstairs, he saw Duke Wilson standing among the guests from a distance, and the surrounding admiration was endless, but the expression on the Duke's face was very flat, only when he saw At that moment, Evan's eyes lit up, he stood out from the crowd, walked up to Evan, and said warmly, "You are finally here."
Evan looked up at the Duke and smiled softly: "Lord Duke."
The people around saw Evan coming down, and they all gathered around to greet Evan. Now Evan and Duke Wilson are the reds, plus his identity as a priest, in the eyes of these people, His status was higher.
Colonel Mel is a faithful believer of Duke Wilson, he smiled and nodded at Evan: "Mr. Reverend, last time you said goodbye, your face looks much better now, your How is your body now?"
Evan smiled politely: "Thank you for your concern, my health is much better."
Colonel Mel gave Duke Wilson a meaningful look, and suddenly said, "Then when will I hear your Mass?"
Evan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I'll be back at Deran Lille Church this weekend, you and your wife are welcome to come to worship."
When Evan's voice fell, Duke Wilson stiffened. He looked at Evan in disbelief and whispered, "You want to leave?"
Of course he wants to leave, and now he lives in Cornwall Manor.
"My lord, my body has recovered. I am very grateful for your care these days, but serving God is my duty. I have been lazy these days. Things in the church are very complicated. Mrs Sanders cannot be left alone."
Evan's language is gentle and polite, and his words are well-founded. Duke Wilson couldn't find anything to refute for a while.
"But you..." The Duke opened his mouth with a complicated expression as if planning a murder.
Before the Duke had time to say anything, Butler Chris came over and whispered, "Sir, it's time for the dinner."
Duke Wilson's face was very ugly. Butler Chris was startled, and he couldn't say what he said later.
"Take Edward out of the room and take the guests to dinner." The Duke said in a stiff tone.
Butler Chris nodded immediately, and didn't dare to say anything about the game he had arranged before, so he quickly retreated.
Butler Chris turned away, and Evan had already turned his head to chat with Colonel Mel. Colonel Mel is a well-informed man. His previous military experience made him His understanding of the world is obviously much deeper than that of other squires, and Evan did not violate the harmony when chatting with him.
It's just the admiration for the last Duke Wilson revealed in the words of Colonel Mel, which made Evan feel a little sour, and he used almost all the words of praise he knew. On the one who appeared, it was as if he was **** himself who came to the world, and the image was tall and somewhat false.
Evan is of course not stupid enough to question these words that have been glorified in many layers, but just smiled and listened to his praise for the duke's outstanding military ability.
At this moment, Evan felt the hot eyes behind him, he pursed his lips, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, he didn't need to look back to know whose eyes were, but this time he To disappoint Duke Wilson, so many days of close contact is obviously enough. He still has to carry out his tactic if he wants to, until Duke Wilson speaks.
Butler Chris gently tapped the glass in his hand and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to invite you to dinner on behalf of Lord Wilson."
He stretched his arm in the direction of the castle restaurant, with a respectful and humble expression.
People in the hall began to walk towards the restaurant one after another, but Duke Wilson was still standing there, Evan was about to leave with Colonel Mel, but the Duke suddenly spoke up : "Pastor Bruce!"
Evan turned his head in surprise, Duke Wilson's expression was a little gloomy: "Please stay, I have something to tell you."
Evan was a little surprised, but still nodded, but Colonel Mel, who was with him, smiled strangely, turned and left.
"Lord Duke?" Evan asked tentatively.
Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a heavy expression, pursed his lips and said, "Are you really going to leave?"
Evan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "My body has fully recovered, and of course I can't rely on you all the time."
The change in Evan's expression was seen by Duke Wilson, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he didn't have the slightest nostalgia at all.
"Evan!"
Evan was taken aback: "What's the matter with you?" He looked at Duke Wilson in surprise.
The duke was so angry that he wanted to die, but he didn't dare to say anything. He clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Evan, don't go!" With the clear voice of a young child, the figure of a child hit Evan's arms directly like a small cannonball.
Evan was hit and staggered, but he still hugged the child who was holding his waist tightly with both hands, Evan caressed the back of the child in his arms, dumbfounded. Softly: "Lord Edward, what's wrong with you?"
Edward's behavior finally eased the anger in Duke Wilson's heart. He suddenly realized that it was good to have such a sticky child.
"Pastor." Duke Wilson cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Look, Edward has no mother since he was a child, and is so dependent on you, please take Edward's face, Don't leave."
Evan stroked Edward's back, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His patience for so many days was really not in vain.
, especially now that Mr. Ferd is still alive, I can't ignore his strength, and I ask for your understanding, but please rest assured that if I have time, I will definitely come to visit you and Lord Edward, this is my promise ."
Although this result is what I want to see, but I can't change my decision because of this. He must stay in this place in the future, but he can't stay in this form.
Edward held Evan's arm slightly tighter, he raised his head, looked at Evan with a very pure and innocent look, and whispered: "What are you saying is true? ? You can't lie to me!"
The power is still too small now. He has heard about the power of the church when he was five years old. Now, whether it is him or his powerful father, all Powerless.
Duke Wilson's face was ashen, he also understood Evan's implication at this time, and now Ferd is eyeing Evan, if there are any bad rumors, I'm afraid he can't keep Evan Wen, the public opinion of the society is enough for him to live rather than die.
"Of course I won't lie to you." Evan stroked Edward's hair very gently, and said softly: "Lord, today is your birthday, everyone is in the restaurant Waiting for you, or don't make everyone wait for a long time."
Edward nodded obediently, let go of the arm that bound Evan, and gently held his hand, he turned and looked at the ugly Duke Wilson, his expression was a little shy He smiled and whispered, "Father, let's go in together."
Duke Wilson suddenly came back to his senses, and was stunned when he saw Evan holding Edward, but Edward walked up to Duke Wilson very boldly and held His hand took him and Evan and walked towards the restaurant together.
