Chapter 92: there is a secret
William just came over to say hello to Evan, and then left with his new wife, Evan stood in the distance, always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it , Old Bruce walked over with a group of old gentlemen, pointed at Evan with a smile, and said, "This is my youngest son, Evan, who has been studying outside since he was a child, and is now a pastor."
The unexpected pride on his face made Evan a little unbelievable.
Of course the old gentlemen are not people who can't wink, and they immediately praised them. One said that the old Bruce had given birth to a good son, the other praised Evan for his talent, and Evan stood in this group of people , there are some dilemmas.
But old Bruce was not polite at all, and forced Evan to chat with these people, and between the cups, Evan's glass of wine was also drained.
Even since he crossed over, he found that his body was not very good at drinking, so although it was just a glass of champagne, he was already a little dizzy, but old Bruce didn't want to let it go at all Passed him and continued to hold him to greet everyone. Evan didn't know what was going on in his madness. After so many years, the father-son relationship between them was already a joke, and it was a bit ridiculous to come here again.
But in such a scene today, Evan couldn't help but refute, even if Evan was dissatisfied, nothing would happen on the day of William's wedding, which was not in line with his character .
After the last lap of the identity contest, Evan was already a little unsteady, but old Bruce still didn't know what to do, he dragged Evan to Victoria's father and said with a smile: "Joe, this is It's my little son."
Victoria's father looked at Evan in surprise. He was so similar to William that anyone seeing him for the first time was a shock.
"Oh, if I didn't know the inside story, I would have thought you gave birth to a pair of twins." Joe smiled and looked at Evan: "What a good guy, your brother is a noble gentleman , I think you are not bad, Peter, you have really given birth to a pair of good sons!" He said to old Bruce slightly enviously.
Old Bruce raised his chin proudly, and his mouth was indeed very modest: "Joe, don't worry, I know you only have one daughter, Victoria, and William will definitely take good care of her, Don't worry."
Old Joe has only one daughter, Victoria. As long as she marries William, after Joe's hundred years, the entire family's property will belong to the Bruce family.
Evan suddenly had such an idea in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at old Bruce, his face was still gentle, so similar to when he was pretending, Evan couldn't help but hit The Cold War, the Bruce family, are really egoists, and even the person who came through is the same.
Afterwards, their father and son talked to Joe about Evan's work. When he found out that Evan was a pastor in Delane, Joe couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, this is really too much. Coincidentally, Duke Wilson's fief is in Dranlier, and he has a beautiful castle there, do you know him?"
Evan did not expect that this old gentleman knew Duke Wilson, but on second thought, Duke Wilson can be regarded as a member of the House of Lords, so it seems that the Duke and him can also be regarded as on a colleague.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet the Duke's friend here, yes, I know the Duke, he is a devout believer, in fact, this time I came to London, just With Duke Wilson." Evan looked at old Bruce as he spoke, not because he wanted to show how good his relationship with the duke was, he just hoped to use this to dispel some of old Bruce's thoughts.
As expected, as soon as Evan said this, old Bruce's face changed, and Evan couldn't help sneering in his heart. After he came, he told old Bruce his address, but he did not expect He didn't even have the energy to check where he lived. It would be ridiculous to say that he really cared about himself.
"Oh, is this true?" Joe looked at Evan with a look of surprise, then looked back at old Bruce, he had never heard old Bruce speak of his youngest son Has a strong relationship with the Duke.
Evan smiled lightly: "It's true, the Duke is a generous gentleman." These words can only be stopped. Suspected intentionally.
Joe seemed a little unbelievable. He had also experienced the character of the duke. If he said how generous he was, it would be better to say how cold he was.
"So it is." He looked at Evan and nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Duke Wilson and the priest had a very good relationship, so his marriage was real. A surprise came up.
But old Bruce's mood at this time was not as relaxed as he showed. He wanted to try his best to maintain the image of a father who was proud of his son, but when he heard that Evan was in a relationship with a duke After the secret words, his heart was a little confused. He kept saying that Evan and Joe ended this conversation, and immediately made an excuse to pull Evan into the corner. He frowned and saw that Evan was slightly red. With a stern look on his face, he said sharply, "Why have you never told me about you and the Duke?"
Evan sneered in his heart, but there was some doubt on his face: "Is this a very important thing? But you didn't ask before."
This sentence of Evan blocked old Bruce to death. Where did he have time to ask about Evan's friendship before, since Evan graduated, they only communicated almost once a year, which is Christmas The card sent by the festival, how Evan was doing in Delan Lier, he didn't care at all, and he didn't want to care.
"I didn't ask you to say it? You have to remember, I'm still your father! My wealth..." Old Bruce's angry words suddenly stopped, he suddenly remembered, The original threat to William had no effect on Evan, because he would not have any property of his own.
Old Bruce's face turned red, he glared at Evan, but he didn't say a word.
"Okay, go up and rest! You look like you've lost all the face of the Bruce family!" body, turned and left.
Watching old Bruce walk away, Evan's originally ignorant face finally showed a sneer, really a good father, he really brought his selfish character to the extreme, he Without stopping, he turned around and went upstairs.
William was standing on the dance floor. Victoria, who was next to him, was dancing with Joe in the middle of the dance floor.
Old Bruce walked to William angrily and looked at Victoria and Joe in the middle of the dance floor with bad eyes.
William's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered: "Father, is there something wrong?"
Old Bruce snorted coldly: "I think you should have heard about your brother's wide range of friends?"
Josh is famous for his big mouth, and he can't keep all the anecdotes.
William lowered his head and smiled, his expression gentle and calm: "Yes, Joe has just told me."
"What do you decide to do?" Old Bruce couldn't suppress his anger at all, and the Duke's close friend who was born out of nowhere made him a little embarrassed for a while: "Are you still determined to follow the original plan?"
William raised his head, but his eyes turned indifferent.
"Father, what kind of person do you think Evan is?" He suddenly asked a wrong question.
"He..." Old Bruce couldn't help but waved his hand impatiently: "He's an idiot! Why are you asking this?"
William pursed his lips slightly and smiled at Victoria who waved at him: "Father, the Evan in your mind is still a seven-year-old Evan, but now Evan is two years old. Fourteen years old." He walked slowly to Victoria, who came off the dance floor: "Why would he say today that he is on good terms with Duke Wilson? Because he has already sensed that we have a plan, father—" He suddenly Turning his head to look at old Bruce: "You were too eager before."
, do you want to take a break?"
Victoria helped her forehead a little dizzily. For some reason, from just now, a sense of powerlessness filled her whole body, and now it is indeed more and more uncomfortable.
"I... I think I need to rest." Victoria supported William's arm and said softly.
William looked at Victoria tenderly, raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair, and whispered slightly bewitched: "Then you should have a good rest, the dance will soon be over. ."
Victoria turned and glanced at Joe, who was standing not far away, and nodded slowly.
"Okay, then I'll go to rest, but tonight you must remember not to let my dad leave, I still have something to tell him."
A shadow flashed in William's eyes, but the next moment he returned to his gentle appearance, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, your father, I will definitely keep him. "
After he finished speaking, William beckoned behind him, and a maid who had been standing silently behind him suddenly stepped forward, supported Victoria who was slightly staggered, and supported her towards Go to the second floor.
William stood there, watching Victoria stumble to the second floor with a very complicated look in his eyes, old Bruce stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, with a trace of pain in his eyes, he wanted to After saying something, William suddenly raised his hand, stopped his words, and said in a low voice, "Father, there is no need to say anything, and there must be no mistake in tonight's affairs."
Old Bruce sighed and nodded.
William returned to a normal state and walked towards Joe not far away.
"William?" Joe looked at William alone in surprise: "Where's Victoria? Didn't she go to see you?"
William smiled at Joe and said warmly: "Victoria feels a little uncomfortable, she went upstairs, he asked me to tell you, if you want to go home, it is best to leave early, if If it's too late, I'm afraid it's not safe on the road."
Speaking of this Qiao also smiled: "Thanks for her being able to think of this, I was a little tired and was about to leave."
"Oh, what a coincidence, then let me take you out." William said politely, he has always respected this father-in-law.
Joe nodded with satisfaction to the son-in-law, smiled and patted his shoulder: "I'll leave Victoria to you now, you have to treat her well." For this son-in-law , Joe is basically still very satisfied.
William nodded meekly and sent Joe out very respectfully.
