Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 54: The opportunity is coming

Alia is an unusual girl. She is very assertive in what she does. She is completely different from the girls who rely on men to survive in this era. After discussing with Ferd about Evan, she wants to The idea of ​​starting with Edward couldn't stop it any longer.

It's just that although Arya has this intention, the situation at this time does not allow her to do anything. Because of Duke Wilson's disgust for her, every time Dr. Hester visits Cornwall Manor, he dares not to do anything. Take Arya with him. Arya has repeatedly requested Dr. Hester, but in the end he was not allowed.

At the same time, the news of Sheriff Chandler's arrest of Mrs. Johnson spread in Delan Lier, and everyone was shocked. The woman looking for the result turned out to be the murderer of her husband.

Such contradictory facts made everyone unable to believe the result, and some people even wrote to Sheriff Chandler, asking him to investigate this matter thoroughly and not to wrong Mrs. Johnson.

But Sheriff Chandler was very confident and was not disturbed by these outside voices. In his opinion, what Mrs. Johnson had done before was just to push this matter into something she hated. Rael, make him responsible for his crimes.

Sheriff Chandler is so convinced of his conclusions that he doesn't care even if Mrs. Johnson yells at him in prison, the poor lady has never suffered such a crime since the day she was born , but now this dark prison is probably the best ending for her. Sheriff Chandler has sympathy for her, but he sincerely looks forward to the day when the court opens, not to say that he is not interested in sending Mrs. Johnson How enthusiastic the gallows was, but he sincerely hoped that this terrible thing would end soon.

Sheriff Chandler's urgent mood has not been satisfied. Yorkshire police officers are obviously extremely busy this fall. There have been several vicious fighting incidents in the county. Because of drought and disasters, Yorkshire's police officers The tenants and peasants suffered greatly. They lost their food and even their homes. These people gathered together and formed a large force, so that the officials of the whole Yorkshire were very busy, so there was not much. People will care about the little things about this little place in Derain.

It was at this time that Duke Wilson's invitation was delivered to Sheriff Chandler.

Lord Edward's birthday is coming, and the entire gentleman class of Dranlier has received the invitation of the Duke. Although Sheriff Chandler is not loved by the Duke, it is a pity that he is a friend of Pastor Bruce, Wilson. The Duke could only reluctantly sent him an invitation letter.

Sheriff Chandler didn't have much self-awareness. Although he was a little flattered by Duke Wilson's invitation, at the same time he took it for granted in his heart.

But unlike him, this invitation made a person ecstatic, and this person was of course Arya, who had been locked out for so long.

In Arya's view, this invitation is simply God's will. Her father, Dr. Hester, a typical old-fashioned gentleman, loves Arya very much, but he sticks to it. His bottom line is to never let Arya get involved in Duke Wilson's affairs, especially after he knows Arya's thoughts.

Whether Arya was crying and begging or trying to convince her, Dr. Hester was stubborn and never let go until this invitation came.

This invitation letter gave the stubborn and conservative Dr. Hester no room for refusal, because the invitation clearly stated that the invited people were Dr. Hester and Miss Arya.

As a lady specially invited by the Duke, Dr. Hester is a little embarrassed.

"Oh, my dear father." Arya was as happy as a lark. "That's very nice, Lord Edward is now five years old, which is a real joy."

Dr. Hester couldn't bear to see Arya like this. In fact, according to what he meant, he wanted to make Arya pretend to be sick and avoid this invitation because he was not sure whether Duke Wilson would What does Arya mean? He is very sure that Duke Wilson didn't like Arya before. This sudden invitation made Dr. Hester a little confused.

"My dear Arya." Dr. Hester was very cautious: "Your lord is still a child, and didn't you have a cold a few days ago? I think..." Dr. Hester stretched his tone. Like an ancient musical instrument: "I don't think you should go there, lest your lord get sick as well."

Alia's face gradually turned pale in Dr. Hester's words, she almost looked at Dr. Hester in disbelief: "Father! How can you say such a thing! My The cold has been cured, this is the diagnosis made by you, why do you stop me from going to Cornwall Manor again and again, is it that you do not trust me like this?"

Dr. Hester had never seen Arya look so angry, and she panicked for a while: "Oh, Arya, my lovely daughter, that's not what I meant." Incoherent: "I mean, of course I believe you, but this invitation is a bit strange, you know, Duke Wilson treats you..."

His tone became lower and lower, and finally looked at Arya with some embarrassment.

Alia's face quickly flushed red, she bit her lower lip, and her shame was twisting her heart like a poisonous tongue.

"I...know what you mean." Arya replied dryly: "I won't be more wishful thinking, but Lord Edward has been close to me since he was a child. This is his birthday, and he also invited Me, I don't want to disappoint him."

Dr. Hester looked at Arya with some concern. If it wasn't for a reason, he wouldn't want to put this cruel thing on the table, but Arya was his child after all, and he couldn't watch her walk into the abyss.

"Okay." Dr. Hester finally gave in, maybe Arya was right, this special invitation to her might just be because of the Lord's love for her: "Since you think so , then let's go together, just Arya." He looked straight into Arya's depressed eyes: "You must promise me, don't delusional things you can't get."

My own daughter understands that Aaliyah's unruly ideas are also different since she was a child. If she is a boy, she must have a bright future, but she is a girl. In such an era, such a girl is very dangerous.

Alia nodded helplessly. She did not agree with Dr. Hester's point of view. Although the Duke disliked her very much now, it was only because of Bruce. Under the deliberate guidance of Ford, Evan In her heart, she has become a hypocritical person.

No matter how different Arya is, she is just a little girl. When the person she likes hates her to the extreme, she will subconsciously excuse him. The Duke does not really hate him, but Just blinded by Pastor Bruce.

As long as she thought about it like this, the painful emotion that was tightly bound to her heart was finally relieved.

**

The time for Lord Edward's birthday party was set three days later. During these three days, Arya searched for everything Edward might be interested in, and finally chose Dr. Hester to bring back from London In her opinion, Edward is a smart and well-behaved child, and such a child likes books the most.

When the day finally came, Arya put on a gorgeous dress and set out with Dr. Hester on the carriage to Cornwall Manor.

Because of Dr. Hester, they were personally greeted by Butler Chris. When Butler Chris saw Arya, his expression was obviously taken aback. He glanced at him in surprise and smiled with a guilty conscience. Doctor Hester, his expression unchanged.

"Dr. Hester, Miss Arya, you are welcome. The Duke is welcoming guests in the hall at this time. Please come with me."

Butler Chris's politeness was indifferent, which obviously relieved Dr. Hester's mood. He was relieved that he was still a little nervous, and followed Butler Chris and walked towards the hall.

Alia, unaware of the change in her father, is eagerly looking forward to seeing Duke Wilson.

Alia saw Duke Wilson the moment she stepped into the castle hall. He was wearing a decent suit, standing in the center of the hall, with a decent and flat smile on his face, greeting every visitor.

His eyes slid down the crowd to Dr. Hester and his party. Arya tugged at the edge of her skirt a little excitedly, expecting a different look on his face.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed by the final result. Duke Wilson didn't have any special expression on his face, even more indifferent than before.

"Mr. Doctor, Miss Arya." Duke Wilson nodded calmly.

Dr. Hester is now a big deal, and it looks like Duke Wilson at least doesn't reject Arya's arrival.

"Lord Duke, thank you very much for your invitation. I hope Lord Edward grows up healthily." Dr. Hester bowed and saluted.

But Arya seemed to be stuck by something, and looked at Duke Wilson in a daze.

The Duke couldn't help frowning in disgust. Dr. Hester's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled Arya's hand. Arya then reacted and saluted together.

Duke Wilson gave Arya a very cold look and whispered: "You are too polite. You are the most sincere friend of Cornwall Manor. I hope this banquet will make you happy."

The Duke said the most mechanical welcome speech, and glanced at Butler Chris again, and Dr. Hester and Arya were quickly taken away.

Alia looked back at Duke Wilson with regret. He looked impatient, but when the next person stepped forward, he became the gentle and polite Duke again, and the one who looked Excited people who were about to cry, greeted and talked.

Alia felt a little disappointed in her heart for some reason. At this moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the second floor, she looked straight at the room where Evan lived. Today, she did not see that person.
