Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 57: Survey Results

Duke Wilson led Edward and Evan to the door of the restaurant, but at the moment of entering the door, Evan let go of Edward's hand. In this case, for Evan, doing this Still a bit out of line.

The people sitting in this room are not fools, and some things are still too much to do.

The moment Edward let go of Evan's hand, the smile on his face froze, but he concealed his difference very well. He almost didn't even lift his head and walked into the hall with Duke Wilson. And Evan paused for a moment before walking in.

This birthday party was very successful. Although all the people who came were celebrities from Derain Riel, no one could match the status and status of Duke Wilson, so although it was only a child's birthday, The congratulators still looked happy, but they didn't write on their foreheads to show that they were really happy.

But Duke Wilson's mood is not good. Evan's sudden announcement of leaving made him a little upset. He didn't want Evan to leave, but at the same time, there was no good reason for him to stay. , Such a tangled mood made him feel very aggrieved.

Duke Wilson's mood also affected the attitudes of those around him. They were cautious when talking to the Duke, for fear of poking at the Duke's pain point and hurting themselves.

Evan didn't seem to see the Duke's expression. He was still very relaxed. His seat was next to the Duke, and on the other side was Sheriff Chandler. The Sheriff finally solved the case this time. In high spirits, he kept talking to Evan about his experience and process of cracking the case.

Evan listened to Sheriff Chandler's frowning words without hesitation, as if he was very interested, but he kept observing Duke Wilson from the corner of his eye, and Evan couldn't help but secretly delighted when he saw him being annoyed. , Duke Wilson is not a very patient person in the original book, and it seems that his plan is about to succeed.

After the dinner, the Duke sent all the guests away, and Edward was taken back to his room by the footman. Before he left, he gave Duke Wilson a hesitant look, but in the end he did not speak and left quietly. .

He is still in awe of his father, and if Evan hadn't comforted him when he was most vulnerable, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the guts to speak to Duke Wilson now.

Thinking of this, Edward's eyes couldn't help being a little gloomy. Arya is definitely an uncertain factor. In Edward's opinion, Arya is not someone who can be easily fooled. If she lets go, she is afraid of the consequences. Incredible.

After Edward went upstairs, only Duke Wilson and Evan were left on the sofa downstairs. Duke Wilson looked at Evan deeply, until Evan looked a little numb, and then he opened mouth.

"Evan, as your friend, I regret your decision to leave, but please remember that the door to Cornwall Manor is always open for you."

No matter how reluctant Duke Wilson is in his heart, he has no second choice at this time, because he has no position to force Evan to stay.

Evan smiled softly and said warmly: "I am very touched by your friendship. Please rest assured that even if I leave Cornwall Manor, your friendship will not change."

Duke Wilson reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth. He was definitely not in a good mood right now.

Evan chatted a few more times with the duke, then went upstairs on the pretext of being sleepy. Today's day's entertainment had already made him a little tired. Fighting wits and courage with the duke completely exhausted his energy. Injuries hurt him greatly.

Duke Wilson was sitting alone in the spacious hall. Butler Chris couldn't help but ask for instructions: "My lord, it's getting late, do you want to rest?"

"You step back, I have to sit for a while." Duke Wilson waved his hand coldly. He is now waiting for someone, and he is also waiting for a message.

Adelson asked someone to send a message back the day before yesterday, and the result he wants will be tonight at the latest.

Butler Chris is a competent butler, and naturally he will not leave before everyone rests. He stood silently behind Duke Wilson and was not ready to retreat.

Duke Wilson didn't care either. The Chris family has served the Duke's mansion for three generations, and the loyalty of the old housekeeper is unquestionable.

An hour later, when the clock struck midnight, a servant hurried in and announced, "My lord, the gatekeeper said there was a Mr. Adelson who asked to see him."

The servant's expression was very embarrassed. He hardly dared to look at the Duke's expression. Asking for an appointment in such a late night was originally a very indecent thing, not to mention disturbing the Duke.

"He said... He has something important to ask for, and he has your letter in his hand..." The servant quickly defended, fearing that the Duke would be angry.

There was no expression on the Duke's face, and his tone was very calm: "Let him in."

The servant couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly backed out.

A few moments later, someone led Edson in. At this time, Edson was no longer as handsome as before. His hair was very messy, as if he had been swept by the wind, and his clothes were a little wrinkled. Yes, at first glance, he came from a long journey, his face was pale, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.

"Lord Duke." Ederson's etiquette was still perfect.

Duke Wilson raised his hand: "Speak." His tone was very indifferent, but his slightly trembling hands hidden in his sleeves betrayed his true emotions.

Ederson didn't see the Duke's hands, so he didn't understand the Duke's true emotions. He sorted out the thoughts in his head and reported the results of his investigation over the past few days to the Duke, but this time he He didn't dare to make random guesses like last time. He honestly reported all the objective facts he had investigated to the Duke.

Duke Wilson frowned at first, but the expression on his face gradually softened a lot in the end. Edson looked a little weird. To be honest, his investigation this time, even he himself felt a little weird. He still couldn't see through the relationship between Ferd and Bruce. Back then he declared that Ferd was a despicable **** person and a friend of Bruce's, but the two were purely jealous of Ferd, and that's why he preached This has nothing to do with Bruce.

And Ferd's father, the venerable earl, once approached Bruce. This matter was very secret. He found the earl's private secretary. Through some special means, he was able to Knowing this, it's just what was said back then, I'm afraid only the earl and Bruce know.

Just looking at the Duke's reaction now, maybe the Duke knows too.

A dim light flashed in Ederson's eyes. He clenched his fist and concealed the unwillingness in his eyes. The last time he lost the trust of the Duke, this time he could only be a man with his tail tucked. When he regains his trust in the future, he would have to see who made him so embarrassed.

And Duke Wilson got the answer he wanted. He waved at Ederson with a soothing expression and whispered: "Okay, you did a good job this time, let's go."

Ederson came back to his senses instantly, saluted the Duke, turned and left the hall.

After Ederson left, Duke Wilson also stood up, Ederson's findings matched Evan's words, which was simply too good, even allowing the Duke to walk away from the haze that Evan was about to leave When he came out, although he had left the Cornwall manor, he was still in Derain, Duke Wilson so comforted himself.

Most importantly, Evan is still the same Evan.

The duke's good mood continued until the next morning. Even Evan was very surprised to see the duke's bright appearance. Doesn't he care about his departure? Evan once doubted this, but when he saw Edson's respectful figure, Evan immediately knew that he wanted to go wrong. It seemed that the matter had been resolved. Evan couldn't help but smile and accept. It's time to completely solve the tricky character of Foulder.

Evan left the next afternoon, and Duke Wilson took him back to the parsonage himself in a carriage, where the servants, along with Mrs. Sanders and the assistant priest, greeted Evan at the door of the cottage, especially San Mrs. Des, her indifferent face showed a rare soft color.

"Mr. Pastor, welcome back." Mrs. Sanders said warmly, looking at Evan who got off the carriage.

Evan walked up to Mrs. Sanders and nodded slightly: "My dear lady, I am flattered by your welcome."

Duke Wilson was sitting in the carriage watching this scene. For some reason, he felt a little dazzling. He didn't get out of the carriage, but just opened the carriage door and whispered, "Pastor Bruce, then I'll leave first."

Evan was a little surprised, but still kept his etiquette: "Thank you very much for sending me back, please walk slowly."

Duke Wilson's carriage left, but Mrs. Sanders' eyebrows were furrowed.

"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Sanders said hesitantly: "How are you at the duke's palace these days?"

Duke Wilson was so disrespectful that Mrs. Sanders was a little surprised.

Evan could naturally guess what Mrs. Sanders was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "My lady, please rest assured, I have been very happy in the duke's mansion these days, but this time, the duke There really was something to do, so I left in a hurry."

There is something there, I'm afraid I don't want to say goodbye.

Mrs. Sanders' complexion was much better now. He looked at Evan, who was a little pale, and couldn't help sighing: "Your luck is really bad, it's just an autumn hunt, you But it didn't come back until early winter, and next time you must not go hunting, it's too dangerous."

Evan nodded with a smile, but thought to himself, the next time there will be no such exciting hunting.

Everyone crowded Evan into the hut. The hut was well taken care of. He didn't want to look like no one lived for a long time. Evan looked at the things in the house as if he was the same as before he left. These servants are really good and can be used with confidence in the future.

Mrs. Haydn had already prepared a table of delicious food, and Evan complimented her face very much. The smile on Mrs. Haydn's face hardly stopped. This grumpy lady, who is also in Evan In front of him, he can be so soft.

A few people were enjoying their dinner happily. At this time, Billy, the errand boy, suddenly broke in. Mrs. Haydn's face sank immediately. He said, "Mr. Pastor, that Mr. Ferd is here."

Evan's original soft expression finally sank at this time.
