Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 92: There is a hidden secret
William just came over to say hello to Evan, and then left with his new wife. Evan stood in the distance and always felt that something was wrong, but before he had time to think about it, old Bruce brought A group of old gentlemen came over and pointed at Evan with a smile: "This is my youngest son, Evan, who has been studying outside since he was a child, and is now a pastor."
Evan couldn't believe the unexpected pride on his face.
Of course the old gentlemen are not people who can't wink, and they immediately praised them. One said that old Bruce had given birth to a good son, and the other praised Evan for his talent. Evan stood in this group of people and was in a dilemma.
But old Bruce was not polite at all. He forced Evan to greet these people, and between the cups, Evan's glass of wine was also drained.
Even since he crossed over, he found that his body was not very good at drinking, so although it was just a glass of champagne, he was already a little dizzy, but old Bruce didn't want to let him go at all and continued to catch As he greeted everyone, Evan didn't know what was going on in his madness. After so many years, the father-son relationship between them was already a joke, and it was a bit ridiculous to come back again.
But in such a scene today, Evan couldn't help but refute, even if Evan was dissatisfied, nothing would happen on the day of William's wedding, which was not in line with his character.
After the last lap of the identification contest, Evan was already a little unstable, but old Bruce still didn't know what to do. He pulled Evan to Victoria's father and said with a smile: "Joe, this is my youngest son. ."
Victoria's father looked at Evan with some surprise. He was so similar to William that anyone seeing him for the first time was a shock.
"Oh, if I didn't know the inside story, I would think you gave birth to twins." Joe smiled and looked at Evan: "What a good guy, your brother is a noble gentleman, I think you are too Not bad, Peter, you really have given birth to a pair of good sons!" He said to old Bruce slightly enviously.
Old Bruce raised his chin proudly, and his mouth was indeed very modest: "Joe, don't worry, I know you only have one daughter, Victoria, and William will take good care of her, so don't worry. "
Old Joe has only one daughter, Victoria. As long as she is married to William, after Joe's hundred years, the entire family's property will belong to the Bruce family.
Evan suddenly had such a thought in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at old Bruce, his face was still gentle, so similar to when he was pretending, Evan couldn't help but fight a cold war, the Bruce family, He is really an egoist, even the person who has come through is the same.
Afterwards, the father and son talked to Joe about Evan's work, and when he learned that Evan was a pastor in Derain, Joe couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, this is such a coincidence, Duke Wilson. His fief is in Dranlier, and he has a beautiful castle there, do you know him?"
Evan didn't expect that this old gentleman knew Duke Wilson, but on second thought, Duke Wilson could be regarded as a member of the House of Lords, so it seemed that the Duke and him could be regarded as colleagues.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet the Duke's friend here. Yes, I know the Duke. He is a devout believer. In fact, I came to London this time with Duke Wilson. Yes." Evan looked at old Bruce while talking, not because he wanted to show how good his relationship with the duke was, he just hoped that he could use this to dispel some of old Bruce's thoughts.
As expected, as soon as Evan said these words, old Bruce's face changed. Evan couldn't help sneering in his heart. After he came, he told old Bruce his address, but he didn't expect him to even check it. He didn't have the energy to check where he lived, and it would be ridiculous to say that he really cared about himself.
"Oh, is this true?" Joe looked at Evan in surprise, then looked back at old Bruce, he had never heard old Bruce say that his youngest son had a close relationship with the duke .
Evan smiled softly: "It's true, the Duke is a generous gentleman." These words can only be stopped. If you say too much, you will be suspected of intentional .
Joe seems a little unbelievable. He has also experienced the character of the duke. If you say how generous he is, it is better to say how cold he is.
"I see." He looked at Evan and nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Duke Wilson and the priest had a very good relationship, so his marriage was really a surprise. .
But the old Bruce's mood at this time is not as easy as he shows. He wants to try his best to maintain a father image that is proud of his son, but after hearing that Evan has a close relationship with a duke, he He was a little confused in his heart. He kept saying that Evan and Joe ended this conversation, and immediately made an excuse to pull Evan into the corner. He frowned and looked at Evan's slightly flushed face, and said sharply. : "Why have you never told me about you and the Duke?"
Evan sneered in his heart, but had some doubts on his face: "Is this a very important thing? But you didn't ask before."
Evan's words blocked old Bruce half to death. Where did he have time to ask about Evan's friends? Since Evan graduated, they only corresponded almost once a year, which was the card sent by Christmas. , How did Evan live in Delan Lier, he didn't care at all, and he didn't want to care.
"I didn't ask you to tell me? You have to remember, I'm still your father! My wealth..." Old Bruce's angry words suddenly stopped, he suddenly remembered that he had originally had a relationship with William. Threats have no effect on Evan, since he would not have any of his property in the first place.
Old Bruce's face flushed red, and he glared at Evan, but didn't say a word.
"Okay, go get some rest now! You look like a shame for the Bruce family!" He looked at Evan's blushing face and unsteady body with some disgust, turned and left .
Watching old Bruce walk away, Evan's originally ignorant face finally showed a sneer. He really is a good father. He really brought his selfish character to the extreme. He didn't stop. Turn around and go upstairs.
William was standing on the dance floor, and Victoria, who was next to him, was dancing with Joe on the dance floor at this time, his eyes were always following his lovely fiancee, and there was a gentle smile on his lips.
Old Bruce walked up to William angrily, looking at Victoria and Joe in the middle of the dance floor with bad eyes.
William said in a low voice, "Father, is there something wrong?"
Old Bruce snorted coldly: "I think you should have heard about your brother's wide range of friends?"
Josh is notoriously big mouthed, and of all the anecdotes he's the worst offender.
William bowed his head and smiled, his expression gentle and calm: "Yes, Joe told me just now."
"What do you decide to do?" Old Bruce couldn't suppress his anger at all, and the Duke's close friend who came out of nowhere made him a little embarrassed: "Do you still decide to follow the original plan?"
William raised his head, but his eyes turned indifferent.
"Father, what kind of person do you think Evan is?" He suddenly asked a question.
"He..." Old Bruce couldn't help but waved his hand impatiently: "He's an idiot! Why are you asking this?"
William pursed his lips slightly and smiled at Victoria who waved at him: "Father, the Evan in your mind is still a seven-year-old Evan, but now Evan is twenty-four years old. He walked slowly to Victoria, who came off the dance floor: "Why did he say that he is friendly with Duke Wilson today? Because he has already sensed that we have a plan, father-" He suddenly turned his head to look at Old Bruce: "You were too eager."
As soon as he finished these words, Victoria ran over from a distance. He gently stretched out his arms, took Victoria into his arms, and said softly: "Are you tired, do you want to take a break? ?"
Victoria helped her forehead a little dizzily. For some reason, from just now, a feeling of powerlessness filled her whole body, and now it is indeed more and more uncomfortable.
"I...I think I need to rest." Victoria supported William's arm and said softly.
William looked at Victoria tenderly, raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair, and whispered slightly bewitchingly: "Then you should have a good rest, the dance will be over soon."
Victoria turned to glance at Joe, who was standing not far away, absent-mindedly, and nodded slowly.
"Okay, then I'm going to rest, but tonight you must remember not to let my dad leave, I have something to tell him."
A shadow flashed in William's eyes, but the next moment he returned to a gentle look, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, your father, I will definitely keep him."
After he finished speaking, William beckoned behind him, and a maid who had been standing silently behind him suddenly stepped forward, supported Victoria, who was slightly staggered, and walked towards the second floor. .
William stood there, watching Victoria stumbling to the second floor, with a very complicated look in his eyes, old Bruce stepped forward and patted his shoulder, with a trace of pain in his eyes, what did he want to say, William He suddenly raised his hand, stopped his words, and said in a low voice, "Father, you don't need to say anything. There must be no mistake in tonight's affairs."
Old Bruce sighed and nodded.
William returned to his normal state and walked towards Joe not far away.
"William?" Joe looked at William, who was alone, in surprise: "Where's Victoria? Didn't she find you?"
William smiled at Joe and said warmly: "Victoria felt a little uncomfortable and went upstairs. He asked me to tell you that if you want to go home, you'd better leave early. Not safe."
Speaking of this Joe also smiled: "Thanks to her for thinking about this, I was already a little tired and was about to leave."
"Oh, what a coincidence, then let me take you out." William said politely, and he has always respected this father-in-law.
Joe nodded to the son-in-law with satisfaction, and patted his shoulder with a smile: "I'll leave Victoria to you now, you have to treat her well." For this son-in-law, Qiao basically still Very satisfied.
William nodded meekly and sent Joe out respectfully.
