Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 20: The power of the heroine

Sheriff Chandler felt like it was Christmas. He had everything he wanted. He excitedly sent Laura away, and pretended to call in a few more people to ask questions, and then He left Lawrence's house with a contented expression on his face.

Mrs. Lawrence looked at Sheriff Chandler's elated back with a haze in her eyes. She looked back at Laura, whose face was as white as a quail, with a bit of anger in her eyes.

**

Sheriff Chandler went straight to the church as soon as he left the Lawrence house. He wanted to give Evan the good news, but he didn't want to be told by Dean George that Evan went to the Duke's house.

Evan was picked up by a carriage sent by Duke Wilson, and the reason for the invitation was very honest. Lord Edward wanted to see Reverend Bruce.

Evan was sitting in the car thinking about this extraordinary invitation, and he was very unsure. The last incident had drawn a gap in the relationship between him and Duke Wilson. This sudden invitation , which left him clueless.

The person who came to invite Evan was Butler Chris, who sat across from Evan with a stern face and said nothing.

Evan looked at him and hesitated, but finally gave up communication. You must know that the housekeeper at this time was very loyal to the master's feelings, especially for the Bruce family like the housekeeper Chris. people.

In the sound of the carriage, they finally arrived at Cornwall Manor, still as gorgeous and calm as when Evan first came. Chris Butler opened the door for him and welcomed him from the carriage. .

Evan stepped on the floor of Cornwall Castle once again, surrounded by delicate and bright, off-white European-style spiral staircase, with a faint soft light in the setting sun.

Duke Wilson walked down the stairs. He was wearing casual clothes today. His white shirt was slightly messy. His black hair, which was soft and smooth, was now a little disheveled. He was holding a book in his hand. When writing, there was a little surprise in his eyes.

Evan couldn't help squinting his eyes. He had never realized so clearly at this moment that the man in front of him was so charming, so delicate and flawless in appearance, handsome as if he had walked out of a painting It came out the same, but there was a slight coldness in his light brown eyes, which was daunting.

Unfortunately, these people do not include Evan.

"Lord Duke." Evan saluted him respectfully, as if the moment of daze had not happened at all.

"Pastor Bruce, why are you here?" Duke Wilson said in a strange tone.

Evan raised his head and looked at the Duke in surprise: "Didn't you ask Butler Chris to invite me? I heard that Lord Edward wanted to see me."

While speaking, Butler Chris just came in.

"Chris, what the **** is going on?" The Duke frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke." Butler Chris was still expressionless: "Lord Edward's spirit has not been very cheered these days. I heard that it was because I really wanted to see Pastor Bruce, so I decided to call Pastor Bruce on his own accord. Take it."

Evan couldn't believe that the well-behaved butler Chris would do such a deceitful thing, Duke Wilson was just afraid of getting angry.

"You...why didn't you tell me earlier." Duke Wilson just frowned: "Let you lead Pastor Bruce up."

Evan was very surprised. He glanced at Duke Wilson, but found that although he frowned, there was no displeasure in his eyes.

Evan pursed his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into an arc. Now he can understand the duke.

Evan walked into Edward's room. It was the same as last time, clean and spacious. Edward was sitting on the carpet playing with a small wooden horse. He raised his head when he heard someone coming in. Immediately lights up.

"Pastor Bruce!" He ran to Evan, a small hand gently pulled the hem of Evan's robe, with an obvious smile in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Evan looked at these twinkling eyes, and his heart was also very comfortable. It seemed that his repeated actions were not in vain.

Evan lowered his body and half-squatted in front of Edward, smiling: "I'll come to see you, Lord Edward."

"You can just call me Edward, you don't need to call me Lord." Edward said awkwardly, with a shy look on his face.

Evan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Edward became happy when he heard this, and took Evan's hand to play with him on a Trojan horse. Evan smiled and dealt with Edward, but he thought to himself, it seems that the current Edward is better than last time Much cheerful.

Evan is not a child, so of course he is not interested in small wooden horses and carriages, so after dealing with it for a while, he is a little tired. At this moment, there is a clear knock on the door.

Edward was still playing with the Trojan horse on the ground, but he immediately stood up and ran to the door. Evan was surprised and stood up as well.

Edward quickly opened the door, then threw himself into the arms of the person outside the door, shouting, "Arya! You're finally here!"

Evan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The person outside the door was indeed Arya. She was wearing a long light blue dress today. Her brown curly hair was tied with a long beige ribbon, with a playful touch. She smiled and hugged Edward inside After entering the house, he was obviously startled when he saw Evan, and then smiled again: "Pastor Bruce, why are you here?"

Evan was madly vigilant against the woman in front of him, wishing to **** Edward in her arms, but he still said gently on his face: "It was Butler Chris who invited me over."

Edward broke free from Arya's arms, walked to Evan's side, pulled the horn of his robe, and said to Arya, "Mr. Pastor came to see me, I've been wanting to see him these days. , I didn't expect him to come today!"

Poor little Edward, who has never enjoyed a gentle fatherly love, Evan just fills the gap in his wounded heart.

Alia listened with a soft smile on her face: "Pastor Bruce is a noble person. You will learn a lot by getting along with him."

The words she said seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, but Evan couldn't help sneering in her heart. This Miss Alia really couldn't get rid of it.

"Miss Arya has won the prize. I just came to visit Edward today. I didn't expect to meet Miss Arya." The look in Evan's eyes was a little cold.

But Arya didn't notice it at all, but smiled shyly: "I did something very sorry to Lord Edward before, so this time I came here to ask Lord Edward's forgiveness."

Edward looked at Arya suspiciously: "What did you do, Arya? Why I don't know."

Alia was a little ashamed for a while: "I didn't take good care of you before you fell into the water at the lake. I'm really sorry."

Edward smiled: "I insisted on going to the lake, and it has nothing to do with Miss Arya."

Alia looked at Edward very moved and whispered, "You are such a kind person, I am ashamed of what I have done."

Evan's eyes suddenly had a bit of haze. It seems that Edward's relationship with Arya is much better than he imagined. What he did with his life was easily resolved by Arya Well, what the Duke said before that he didn't want to see Arya again, I'm afraid it's already invalid now.

Evan doesn't want to stay in this place any longer. He needs to find a way to completely cut off the relationship between these two people. Only in this way can he completely expel Arya from the game.

Evan nodded slightly: "Lord Edward, since Miss Arya is here, I'll leave first, there are still many things to do in the church."

Edward felt reluctant for a while when he heard this. He gently pulled the corner of Evan's robe and whispered, "Can't you stay for a while? I want to hear you read it for me. The Bible."

Edward's attachment attitude finally made Evan feel better. He smiled and stroked the top of Edward's hair, and said warmly, "I'll read it for you next time. Mrs. Sanders is away these days. There's too much going on in the church."

Edward is a reasonable child. When he heard this, he no longer bothered and nodded seriously: "Okay, but you must come over next time."

Evan nodded with a smile, turned and walked out.

Evan went down the stairs, only to find Duke Wilson and Dr. Hester sitting downstairs talking, and seeing Evan coming down, Duke Wilson was a little surprised.

"Pastor Bruce? Are you leaving?"

Evan smiled reservedly: "It's getting late, I should say goodbye."

"But Edward..." Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a complicated expression.

Evan just smiled: "With Miss Arya here, I think Lord Lord will recover soon."

Speaking of Arya, Duke Wilson's expression was uncomfortable for a moment, and then he said: "Arya and Edward have always had a good relationship, and they can really help a lot."

The smile in Evan's eyes grew colder. It seems that Duke Wilson has made a big difference in Arya.

Evan nodded slightly at Duke Wilson and was about to leave, but Dr. Hester suddenly stopped Evan.

"Pastor Bruce." Dr. Hester had a strange smile on his face: "Why did you leave in such a hurry, Alia, she has suffered a lot of spiritual torture these days, you are a priest , I would also like to ask you to help Arya get out of her slump."

The smile on Evan's face stagnated for a moment, and he asked him to help Arya. Why didn't he say that he would kill him directly, but in order to maintain his image as a good priest, Evan was about to agree, but he was beaten by Duke Wilson. One step ahead.

"Pastor Bruce still has a lot to do in church, so let this venerable pastor serve God."

Duke Wilson's tone was a little stiff, and the original smile on Evan's face froze. What does Duke Wilson mean?
