Chapter 57: Findings
Duke Wilson led Edward and Evan to the door of the restaurant, but at the moment of entering the door, Evan let go of Edward's hand. In this case, for Evan That said, it's still a bit out of line.
The people sitting in this room are not fools, and some things cannot be done too much.
The moment Edward let go of Evan's hand, the smile on his face froze, but he concealed his differences very well, he hardly even raised his head, and followed Duke Wilson with him Walking into the hall, Evan paused for a moment before walking in.
On the birthday of the young child, everyone who congratulates still looks happy, except that they don't write on their foreheads to show that they are really happy.
But Duke Wilson's mood is not good. Evan's sudden announcement of departure made him a little upset. He didn't want Evan to leave, but at the same time there was no good reason. Being able to let him stay, such a tangled mood made him feel very aggrieved.
Duke Wilson's mood also affected the attitudes of the people around them. When they talked to the Duke, they were cautious, for fear of poking at the Duke's pain point and hurting themselves.
Evan didn't seem to see the Duke's expression, he was still very relaxed, his seat was next to the Duke, and the other side happened to be Sheriff Chandler. After the case, he was in high spirits, and kept talking to Evan about his experience and process of solving the case.
Evan listened to Sheriff Chandler's browsing words without hesitation, as if he was very interested, but he kept observing Duke Wilson from the corner of his eye, and saw his annoyed look, Evan couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart, Duke Wilson is not such a patient person in the original book, it seems that his plan is about to succeed.
After the dinner, the Duke sent all the guests away, and Edward was taken back to his room by the footman. Before he left, he gave Duke Wilson a hesitant look, but in the end he didn't speak. Quietly left.
He is still in awe of his father, if Evan hadn't comforted him when he was most vulnerable, I'm afraid he would not even have the courage to speak to Duke Wilson now There will be.
Fight, I'm afraid the consequences are unimaginable.
After Edward went upstairs, only Duke Wilson and Evan were left on the sofa downstairs. Duke Wilson looked at Evan deeply, and his scalp was numb when he saw Evan. He just opened his mouth.
"Evan, as your friend, I regret your decision to leave, but please remember that the door of Cornwall Manor is always open for you."
No matter how reluctant Duke Wilson is in his heart, he has no second choice at this time, because he has no position to force Evan to stay.
Evan chuckled softly and said warmly: "I am very moved by your friendship, please rest assured that even if I leave Cornwall Manor, my friendship with you will not change."
Duke Wilson reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, his current mood is definitely not a good one.
Evan chatted a few more times with the duke, and then went upstairs on the pretext of being sleepy. Today's entertainment had already made him a little tired, and then fighting the duke's wits and courage completely exhausted his energy. Energy, after this injury, his vitality was greatly damaged.
Duke Wilson sat alone in the wide hall. Butler Chris couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Lord Duke, it's getting late, do you want to rest?"
"You step back, I have to sit for a while." Duke Wilson waved his hand coldly, he is now waiting for someone, and also waiting for a message.
Adelson asked someone to send a message back the day before yesterday, and the result he wants will be tonight at the latest.
Butler Chris is a competent butler, and naturally he will not leave before everyone rests. He stood silently behind Duke Wilson and was not ready to retreat.
Duke Wilson didn't take it too seriously. The Chris family has served the Duke's mansion for three generations, and the loyalty of this old housekeeper is unquestionable.
An hour later, when the clock struck midnight, a servant hurried in and reported, "My lord, the gatekeeper said there was a Mr. Adelson who asked to see him."
"He said...he has something important to ask for, and he has your letter in his hand..." The servant was afraid that the Duke would be angry and quickly defended.
There was no expression on the Duke's face, and his tone was very calm: "Let him come in."
The servant couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and quickly backed out.
After a while, someone led Edson in. At this time, Ederson was no longer as handsome as before. His hair was very messy, as if he had been swept by a strong wind. His clothes were also a little wrinkled. At first glance, he had come from a long journey. His face was pale and he seemed to have suffered a lot.
"Your Majesty." Edson's etiquette was still perfect.
Duke Wilson raised his hand: "Speak." His tone was very cold, but his trembling hands hidden in his sleeves betrayed his true emotions.
Adelson didn't see the Duke's hands, so he didn't understand the Duke's true emotions, he sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and reported the results of his investigation in the past few days to the Duke It's just that this time he didn't dare to make random guesses like last time. He honestly reported all the objective facts he had investigated to the Duke.
Duke Wilson frowned at first, but in the end the expression on his face gradually eased a lot. Edson looked a little weird. To be honest, his investigation this time, even his own They all think it's a little weird. He still can't see through the relationship between Ferd and Bruce. Back then he preached that Ferd was a despicable homosexual and a friend of Bruce, but the two were purely jealous of Ferd. , which advertised the matter and had nothing to do with Bruce.
Folder's father, the venerable earl, had also approached Bruce. This matter was very secret. He found the earl's private secretary back then, and through some special Only then did I know about this matter, but what was said in the past, I am afraid that only the earl and Bruce knew.
Just looking at the Duke's reaction now, maybe the Duke also knows.
A dark light flashed in Ederson's eyes, he clenched his fist, and concealed the unwillingness in his eyes. He has become a man with his tail, and when he regains his trust in the future, he will have to see who made him so embarrassed.
Duke Wilson got the answer he wanted, he waved at Ederson with a soothing expression, and whispered: "Okay, you did a good job this time, let's go. ."
Adelson came back to his senses instantly, saluted the Duke, turned and left the hall.
After Ederson left, Duke Wilson also stood up, Edson's findings matched Evan's rhetoric, which couldn't be better, it even made the Duke from Evan about to leave He came out of the haze of , although he left Cornwall Manor, but he was still in Delan Lier, Duke Wilson so comforted himself.
The most important thing is that Evan is still the same Evan.
**
The duke's good mood continued until the next morning, even Evan was very surprised when he saw the duke's bright appearance, didn't he care about his departure? Evan once doubted this, but when he saw Edson's respectful figure, Evan immediately knew that he wanted to go wrong. It seemed that the matter had been resolved. Evan couldn't help but smile and accept. It's time to completely solve the tricky character of Foulder.
Evan left the next afternoon, and Duke Wilson took him back to the parsonage himself in a carriage. The servants, Mrs. Sanders and the assistant priest greeted him at the door of the cottage. Wen, especially Mrs. Sanders, showed a rare soft color on her indifferent face.
"Mr. Pastor, welcome back." Mrs. Sanders looked at Evan who got off the carriage and said warmly.
Evan walked to Mrs. Sanders and nodded slightly: "My dear lady, I am flattered by your welcome."
Duke Wilson sat in the carriage watching this scene, and for some reason felt a little dazzling, he did not get out, just opened the carriage door and whispered: "Pastor Bruce, then I will first left."
Evan was a little surprised, but still kept his etiquette: "Thank you very much for sending me back, please walk slowly."
Duke Wilson's carriage left, and Mrs. Sanders' eyebrows were furrowed.
"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Sanders's tone was a little hesitant: "How are you at the duke's palace these days?"
Duke Wilson was so rude that Mrs. Sanders was a little surprised.
Evan could naturally guess what Mrs. Sanders was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "My lady, please rest assured, I have been very happy at the duke's palace these days, It's just that the Duke has something to do this time, so he left in a hurry."
There's something going on there, I'm afraid I don't want to say goodbye.
Mrs. Sanders' complexion was much better. He looked at Evan, who was a little pale, and couldn't help sighing: "Your luck is really bad, but Once in autumn, you didn't come back until early winter, and next time you must never go hunting again, it's too dangerous."
Evan nodded with a smile, but thought to himself, the next time there will be no such exciting hunting.
It looks like his servants are really good, and they can be used with confidence in the future.
Mrs. Haydn had already prepared a table of delicious food, Evan praised her face very much, and the smile on Mrs. Haydn's face hardly stopped, this grumpy lady, That is, in front of Evan, can he be so gentle.
The cannon seemed to open its mouth: "Mr. Pastor, that Mr. Ferd is here."
Evan's original soft expression finally sank at this time.
