Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    This man did not know what kind of person he was, and the duke suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by his side, with a hint of coldness and sadness.

    "Yes, is it?" The Duke couldn't help laughing. In his subconscious, he always paid great attention to the image in front of Evan. He wrapped himself with layers of illusions, but he It is impossible to imagine what would have happened if Evan knew his true dark heart.

    Duke Wilson felt a suffocation and wanted to flee the place immediately.

    "You have a good rest, I'll go out first, and a servant will come in to serve you later." Duke Wilson said this, he didn't dare to look at Evan's eyes at all, He turned around and ran away.

    Looking at Duke Wilson's slightly embarrassed figure, Evan frowned slightly, is there anything wrong with what he just said?

    Afterwards, a valet from Cornwall Manor came in. This person should be a senior valet by the Duke's side. Evan had seen him by the Duke's side.

    "Mr. Pastor." The servant's face basically did not show any expression, he nodded slightly, and stood in front of Evan: "I am Thomas, the servant of the Duke, and I will be responsible for the past few days. You serve."

    Evan nodded, but his heart sank, what does Duke mean? Did your own words just make the Duke misunderstand something?

    Evan felt a little regretful in his heart, his words just wanted to make fun of a few words, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.

    "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Duke, please tell Lord Duke, I want to ask him to tell my servant about my injury and let him take care of me, don't bother Your lord the duke."

    Evan doesn't like a stranger acting on his left or right. It took a lot of effort to accept Tom before, and now he doesn't want to, and has no need to adapt to another person.

    Thomas frowned as if offended, with some disagreement in his eyes, but he still bowed respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Pastor."

    Thomas turned and left the room.

    The Duke did things very quickly. Half an hour later, Tom, Evan's servant, came to Cornwall Manor. He walked in excitedly and looked at Evan covered in bandages. Lying on the bed, there was a little panic in his eyes.

    "Oh my God, Pastor Bruce, what's the matter with you? They said you were hurt, and it was so bad!"

    Tom was like a little boy, hurried to Evan's side, trying to see something from him.

    The valet next to him who led Tom in pouted slightly, and seemed to despise such an unprofessional valet, but he still respected Evan's attitude.

    "Sir, if you need anything else, just ring the bell, we will meet all your needs."

    Evan still felt a little strange when he heard this sentence, he frowned and asked, "What about the Duke?"

    The Duke would rather send a valet to pass the word than come to see him himself, which made Evan very uncomfortable.

    "Your Excellency the Duke is now dealing with official business and has no way to come and visit you. He asked me to apologize to you." The servant was still meticulous in his words.

    Evan's eyebrows eased a little, it wasn't intentional.

    "So it is." Evan nodded: "If so, I wonder if I have the honor to meet the Duke tonight?"

    Even so, Evan still hopes to have an excuse to see the Duke again, otherwise if there is any misunderstanding, he will not be able to cry.

    The valet frowned and said in a low voice, "The Duke is now meeting with Mr. Johnson. After the end, I will report back to the Lord."

    Mr. Johnson? Evan's heart moved, Mr. Johnson was meeting with Duke Wilson? In that case, he had to talk to Duke Wilson.

    After the footman left, Evan fell into deep thought. He knew that Mr. Johnson was Duke Wilson's lawyer, but he never thought about it before, since Mr. Johnson had something to do with the church's finances Concealing, then does he have this problem with Duke Wilson as well.

    Tom didn't know Evan's worries, he still looked at Evan with a very exaggerated expression, and whispered: "Mr. Pastor, do you want to tell Mrs. Sanders, tomorrow What about the Mass?"

    Listening to Tom talking about this, Evan also came back to his senses, he is like this now, not to mention mass, even getting up is very difficult, it seems that the church needs an acting pastor to preside over.

    "Let the assistant priest do the Mass instead of me first, and someone from the diocese will come over in a few days."

    Evan's assistant pastor is a just graduated kid named Rooney, who is very simple and honest, and runs behind Evan on weekdays.

    Tom also had an impression of this assistant pastor, but it was not a good impression. He grinned in surprise, and finally agreed.

    When this matter was resolved, Evan sent Tom out. He needed to be alone and think about how to talk to the Duke about this matter.

    When it was about to have dinner, the Duke finally came to Evan's ward again. Looking at Evan who was about to prepare for dinner, the Duke's face was slightly embarrassed.

    "I'm sorry to disturb your meal." The Duke's tone was still polite and restrained, but his expression was different from before.

    Evan was puzzled, but he didn't show any expression on his face, he just smiled and said: "The Duke is too polite, I'm very happy that you can come here."

    Evan decided to change his strategy of being indifferent before, and the current Duke still needs some encouragement.

    As expected, the Duke heard this sentence, his expression suddenly brightened, he clenched his fist a little excitedly, looked at Evan, the originally pale cheeks were slightly flushed.

    "Really? Do you really think so?" His tone was slightly sharp.

    Evan nodded with a smile, and said warmly: "Thanks to your care this time, my injuries can be healed little by little. My gratitude to you cannot be described in words."

    Hearing this sentence, the Duke's originally excited expression eased, but he still looked at Evan with some joy, as if he was looking at some treasure.

    Evan pretended not to see the duke's expression, and continued: "My lord, I want to talk to you about the church property."

    Speaking of this, the Duke's expression immediately became solemn, he frowned and said, "Have you found the culprit?"

    Evan sighed and nodded: "To tell you the truth, I am really heartbroken about this."

    Listening to Evan talking about this, the Duke looked at him with a softer look.

    "A merciful person like you naturally cannot understand the idea of ​​a greedy person, but please don't forgive him easily, a person who dares to steal the church's money has fallen to the point of hopelessness. "

    Duke Wilson's language was sonorous and powerful, but Evan felt a little uncomfortable. Duke Wilson looked at him so highly, but he didn't know that in this place, the most greedy person was actually him.

      The adults will respond."

    Duke Wilson nodded in agreement and said, "You are doing the right thing, but I don't know who this person is?"

    Evan hesitated for a moment, but Duke Wilson immediately said: "I know you are an upright person, and you don't want to speak ill of others, and you don't want the reputation of the church to be damaged, but you Trust me, I will never spread this out."

    Evan listened to him say this, nodded hesitantly, paused for a moment, and then said: "That person is Mr. Johnson."

    As soon as Evan said these words, Duke Wilson's entire complexion changed, first a little surprised, and then his face darkened.

    "Are you telling the truth?" Duke Wilson's tone was stern.

    Evan couldn't help but stunned: "Sir, is there any problem?"

    Duke Wilson bit his lip and didn't say it right away.

    Evan couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Lord Duke, I can tell you the other way around what you just said, in this case, you can also trust me, I will use my reputation Guarantee, absolutely will not spread the matter."

    "No, it's not that I don't trust you." Listening to Evan's words, Duke Wilson immediately defended: "I'm just afraid to make you worry more."

    "Lord Duke, you are overthinking it." Evan smiled and looked at Duke Wilson: "My courage is not so small."

     Duke Wilson sighed when he saw that he insisted on doing so: "Since you want to know, then I will tell you, I just gave Mr. Johnson a large sum of money, ask him to help me Resolve legal issues regarding my textile factory."

    "What?" Evan looked at the Duke in surprise: "Did Mr. Johnson ask you for it?"

    Duke Wilson nodded, but he was already on death row for Johnson.

    He didn't really trust what he said, but today Evan's words disturbed his mind, and Johnson kept talking about it in his ear, he In order to get rid of this trouble, I rashly wrote a check.

    Duke Wilson's eyes tightened. Although he didn't care about such a small amount of money, he felt a deep shame for Johnson to deceive this matter. He would never let this person go. .

    "I really didn't expect it." Evan didn't know Duke Wilson's mind, but sighed aside: "Mr. Johnson is so bold, even you dare to deceive."

    He's already startled, Johnson still dares to deceive the Duke, does that mean that Johnson still has a backer?

    Evan was already three-point sure about his guess, and immediately said: "Lord Duke, please go and control Mr. Johnson immediately, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall."

    Duke Wilson frowned: "What do you mean?"

    Evan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I confronted him before, he tried to deceive me to sell the church's land, I realized his bad intentions, but my The reaction was a bit extreme, and he was only afraid that he knew my guess."

    The valet looked at the fiery Duke in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Sir, Mr. Johnson has just left."

    Duke Wilson's face immediately turned ugly.
