Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 121: Family problems
"Ma'am?" Evan frowned at Mrs. Sanders: "Is it someone I know?"
Mrs. Sanders also looked 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 and turned to go in.
Evan stood at the door and hesitated for a while. Duke Wilson couldn't help but have many dark thoughts in his heart when he looked at him like this, but in the end he restrained the thoughts in his heart and whispered: "I'll go in with you."
His words were firm and did not give Evan any room for rebuttal.
Evan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Charles, you might freak out 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. It's also because the Bruce family is really in a stormy situation right now.
Duke Wilson snorted coldly with some disdain: "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 duke's character very well. I was afraid that this time old Bruce was going to return empty-handed, and his own heart...
Evan pursed his lips. If he said that he would still have some doubts before, he has completely put aside that idea at this time. Although an independent position will make him tempted, if he wants to risk losing The Duke's risk, he would never do it.
Evan and Duke Wilson walked into the church together. They walked through the prayer hall and went to the living room at the back. Old Bruce and the lady were sitting in the room where Evan was staying, looking a little nervous. .
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, he couldn't help but take a step back, with a lot of heart in his heart Bad thoughts poured out.
"Father." Evan nodded slightly at the old Bruce, and his eyes swept over the overly young lady.
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 to come, Lord Duke ." 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.
Old Bruce's cold sweat kept streaming down his forehead. He kept winking at Evan who was standing beside him, hoping he could do something, but Evan didn't seem to see it. Yes, still speechless.
Old Bruce was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only swallow his voice and continued: "Lord Duke, I have some personal things I want to talk to Evan alone. I don't know if it's convenient?"
He doesn't understand why the Duke is so idle and is with Evan all the time.
Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, his knife-like eyes swept over the shy lady sitting in the corner, and said sarcastically: "Your thoughts are so straightforward, I think There's no need to say it in private, why, I couldn't 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 turned pale in an instant. She raised her head in horror and looked at Duke Wilson, her expression full of humiliation.
Duke Wilson looked at her expression but just sneered: "What's the matter, this lady? Am I right? I've come all the way to Dranlier, but I want to ask you, are you? What was the idea?"
The lady didn't seem to think that she was the one who swallowed her voice. She immediately stood up and said loudly: "What idea did I play? My father gave the Bruce family a lot of money to protect the entire Bruce Manor. As for bankruptcy, the entire Bruce family should be grateful to me instead of insulting me!"
In response to such rude remarks, Duke Wilson just raised his eyebrows: "So you found a merchant's daughter for Evan?" He looked at old Bruce with a half-smile, with unknown emotions brewing in his eyes.
Old Bruce's heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly went to appease the lady: "Mary, sit down first, I believe that the Duke did not mean to insult you, besides, this is between you and Evan. I don't think Duke Wilson would object to Evan's decision."
Old Bruce looked at Evan who was standing by the side with confidence. He believed that his previous letter had already explained the current situation very well. As long as Evan was not crazy, he would definitely accept what he said. The conditions put forward, after all, in this day and age, a manor owner is a very attractive social position, which is a world away from a poor priest.
Evan twitched the corners of his mouth after listening to the old Bruce's words. He turned his head and looked at the old Bruce with expectant eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm so sorry, father, I have no plans to get married. I will dedicate my whole life to the church, I hope you understand."
"What?" Old Bruce looked at Evan with astonishment, as if he was looking at a lunatic. William didn't want to give up the authority of the entire manor even if his time was short, and he was guaranteeing himself all his life. Regarding the 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 won't get anything!" Old Bruce had long forgotten Duke Wilson's threat at this time. , said loudly.
Evan smiled softly, not seeing any emotional change: "I'm very awake, and this is a decision I made myself. If it leads to any consequences, then I won't have any complaints."
Old Bruce looked at Evan in disbelief, too shocked to say a word.
Duke Wilson's expression softened completely 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 was very aware of the influence and wealth of a manor owner 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 at the pale face angrily. Old Bruce: "We don't give so much money 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, rushed to him and held him He raised his shoulders and 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 forward to help. He grabbed old Bruce's arm and pulled him off his body. He looked at old Bruce coldly He smiled coldly and said coldly, "I'm so sorry, I don't care at all."
His smile was so cold and so abrupt that Old Bruce was stunned for a moment. He stared at Evan blankly, as if he had never known 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 such an intuitive look at him. Performance, now that he has seen it, he just feels... just excited, so excited that his blood is boiling.
"Okay." He restrained his inner excitement and only spit out 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 it and blocked Evan's mouth.
Evan looked slightly surprised at the person who was close to him, trying to kiss him with trembling lips, and then couldn't help laughing. .
Evan's kisses were always rude and manipulative, Duke Wilson was no match for him at all, and fell softly into Evan's arms in two or three strokes.
Evan sucked his lips and tongue until his face was crimson, and he was a little breathless. Then he 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 want to kiss you, okay? ?"
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 shoulder. He looked straight at Evan, with a feeling that Evan could not understand in his eyes. He leaned into Evan's ear and sprayed all his ambiguous breaths. In Evan's ear, 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 the madness and feeling that night, suddenly It 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 Derain Riel Church to Cornwall Manor.
