Chapter 121: family problems
"Ma'am?" Evan frowned at Mrs. Sanders: "Is it someone I know?"
Mrs. Sanders also seemed a little embarrassed, and whispered: "No... I haven't seen this lady before."
Evan probably had a guess in his heart and whispered: "I see, thank you."
Mrs. Sanders nodded stiffly, turned and went in.
Evan stood at the door, hesitating for a while, Duke Wilson couldn't help but have a lot of dark thoughts in his heart when he looked at him like this, but in the end he restrained the thoughts in his heart , said in a low voice, "I'll go in with you."
His words were very firm and did not give Evan any room to refute.
Evan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Charles, you might terrify my father."
Evan is telling the truth. Since the last time Duke Wilson picked him up from Bruce's house, old Bruce didn't dare to contact him for almost half a month. The courage to come is also because the Bruce family is really in a stormy situation now.
Duke Wilson snorted coldly: "If he dares to plot against you like that, he should know the consequences of such a plot."
Evan shook his head helplessly. He knew the character of the duke very well. I was afraid that this time old Bruce was going to go home empty-handed, and his own heart...
Evan pursed his lips, if he had some doubts before, but at this time he has completely put aside that idea, although an independent position will make him tempted, but To risk losing the duke, he would never do it.
Evan and Duke Wilson entered the church together, they passed the prayer hall, and went to the living room at the back, where old Bruce and the lady were sitting in the room where Evan was staying, His expression looked a little apprehensive.
Seeing Evan coming in, he stood up from the chair, but when he saw Duke Wilson following behind Evan, his eyes couldn't help but change greatly, and he couldn't help but step back One step, many bad thoughts poured out in my heart.
"Father." Evan nodded slightly at the old Bruce, and glanced at the overly young lady.
She still looks like a little girl, does old Bruce really want him to marry this woman? Evan couldn't help frowning.
"Evan." Old Bruce tried his best to control the timidity in his heart, nodded lightly, he couldn't help licking his dry lips, and then said: "I didn't expect you Here, my lord." He bowed to Duke Wilson and saluted.
Duke Wilson looked at old Bruce with a cold face, without saying a word, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
As if he didn't see it, he still didn't say a word.
Old Bruce was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only swallow his breath and continued: "Lord Duke, I have some personal words that I want to talk to Evan alone, I don't know if Fang is not. convenient?"
He didn't understand why the duke was so idle and was with Evan all the time.
Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, his knife-like gaze swept over the shy lady sitting in the corner, and said sarcastically: "What do you think? Honestly, I don't think I need to say it in private, why, I failed to put that Miss Victoria on Evan last time, and this time it's another person?"
As soon as Duke Wilson said these words, the lady who was sitting in the corner instantly turned pale, and she raised her head in horror to look at Duke Wilson, her expression full of humiliation.
Duke Wilson looked at her expression but just sneered: "What's wrong with this lady? Am I right? I've come all the way to Derain, I want to ask If I ask you, what was your idea?"
The lady didn't seem to think that she was swallowing her voice, she immediately stood up, and said loudly: "What idea did I play, my father gave the Bruce family a lot of money, only then To ensure that the entire Bruce Manor will not go bankrupt, the entire Bruce family should be grateful to me instead of insulting me!"
For such rude remarks, Duke Wilson just raised his eyebrows: "So you found a merchant's daughter for Evan?" Unknown emotions.
Old Bruce's heart suddenly lifted, and he quickly went to appease the lady: "Mary, sit down first, I believe that the Duke did not mean to insult you, besides, it is you and I don't think Duke Wilson will object to Evan's decision."
Old Bruce looked at Evan standing by the side with confidence. He believed that his previous letter had explained the current situation very well. As long as Evan was not crazy, He will definitely accept the conditions he puts forward. After all, in this era, a manor owner has a very attractive social status, which is completely different from a poor priest.
Evan listened to old Bruce's words, and twitched his lips slightly, he turned his head, looked at old Bruce's eyes full of anticipation, and whispered: "I'm so sorry, father, I didn't With the intention of getting married, I will dedicate my whole life to the church, I hope you can understand."
"What?" Old Bruce looked at Evan in astonishment, as if he was looking at a lunatic. William didn't want to give up the authority of the entire manor even though his time was short. He was also guaranteeing his rights to the entire manor. He couldn't believe that a person would be crazy enough to give up the inheritance of the manor.
"Are you crazy? If you don't inherit the manor, the Bruce manor will be taken back by the main family after I die, and you will get nothing!" In response to Duke Wilson's threat, he said loudly.
Evan smiled softly, and could not see any emotional changes: "I am very awake, this is my own decision, if it leads to any consequences, then I will not have any complain."
Old Bruce looked at Evan in disbelief, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Duke Wilson's expression was completely softened at this time. He looked at Evan with a firm look, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
He gave up the inheritance of the manor for himself. He knew very well the influence and wealth of a manor in this era, but he gave up all these for himself.
"What the **** are you doing?" The lady who saw her identity as the hostess of the manor flew away finally couldn't help it: "You thought I promised before!" She looked angrily To the pale old Bruce: "We paid so much money, not for charity!"
Old Bruce is now on the verge of collapse, and Mary's words have hit him even more, he almost frantically looked at Evan, and rushed to his body Before holding his shoulder, he said loudly: "You can't treat me like this, you must inherit the Bruce Manor! You must marry Mary! Otherwise, the entire Bruce family will be destroyed!"
Evan looked straight at old Bruce and stopped Duke Wilson who wanted to come to help. He grabbed old Bruce's arm and ripped him off his body. Seeing old Bruce smiled coldly, he said coldly, "I'm so sorry, I don't care at all."
His smile was so cold and abrupt that old Bruce was stunned for a moment. He stared at Evan blankly, as if he never knew his son.
Evan shook off old Bruce's hands in disgust, turned and walked to Duke Wilson's side, whispering: "I want to leave this place, let's go."
Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a burning look, as if he had discovered a new world. Although he had seen Evan's indifference hidden under a gentle appearance before, he had never seen it so intuitively. Having seen this kind of performance from him, now that he has seen it, he just feels... just excited, so excited that his blood is boiling.
"Okay." He restrained his inner excitement, only uttered this word, and the whole person trembled slightly.
The two of them walked out one after the other, leaving only old Bruce and the Mary looking at each other.
When they got into the carriage again, Duke Wilson couldn't wait to pounce on Evan's mouth.
Evan looked slightly surprised at the person who was clinging to him, trying to kiss him with trembling lips, and then couldn't help but smile again, put his arms around his waist, and turned the guest to the host. , kissed him.
Evan's kisses are always rude and full of control, Duke Wilson is not his opponent at all, and he falls softly into Evan's arms with two or three strokes.
Evan sucked his lips and tongue until he blushed and was a little breathless, and then let him go, but he still held him in his arms and whispered: " What’s wrong with you?"
Duke Wilson leaned lazily on Evan's shoulder, he hugged Evan's waist tightly, rubbed his chest with a contented face, and whispered: "I think Can't I kiss you?"
Evan couldn't help but smile: "Of course, in this world, only you can."
Evan's words suddenly came out of his mouth for some reason. After Evan finished speaking, he couldn't help but paused. Is this a promise? Evan was a little stunned. In his last life, he had never had such an experience, and he had never made such a promise to anyone even in a show.
Duke Wilson also raised his head from Evan's shoulders, he looked straight at Evan, with an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, he leaned into Evan's ear, All the ambiguous breaths sprayed on Evan's ears, and he whispered: "In my whole life, only you can treat me like that."
Duke Wilson didn't say how to treat him, but after Evan heard this sentence again, the whole person suddenly became restless, he knew exactly what Duke Wilson meant, and that night Madness and feeling suddenly flooded into his mind.
Evan looked at the road ahead through the window, and suddenly felt for the first time that it was so far from Delan Lier Church to Cornwall Manor.
