CH 107

“Ederson…does he have any trouble with Colonel Mel?” Evan asked tentatively.

Duke Wilson frowned slightly and nodded, “The relationship between the two of them is indeed not very good. This time, it was because of Ederson’s concealment that I didn’t know Mel’s situation in the first place, which led to the current passive situation.”

Evan’s heart moved when he heard this, it turned out that there was such a hidden secret in it.

“This is really inappropriate.” Evan sighed softly, but his eyes were always looking in the direction of Duke Wilson, paying attention to his every move.

Seeing Duke Wilson’s dignified look, Evan also had some thoughts in his mind. It seemed that the quarrel between Colonel Mel and Ederson was more serious than what he said.

“Charles.” Evan suddenly broke the tranquility between the two of them, “Who do you think did this?” He looked straight at Duke Wilson. The two of them tried their best to determine whether this matter was really done by Colonel Mel, but if it was really done by Colonel Mel, then Evan really wants to know the attitude of Duke Wilson, because for Evan, although he is selfish, he will not lose his conscience.

Duke Wilson was startled for a moment, and then gently curled the corners of his lips, “No matter who it is, as long as you find it out, I will believe it.” Duke Wilson looked at Evan. His words were not joking, it was from the heart. Evan was more important to him than any right-hand man. He valued the use of Colonel Mel but he was nothing compared to Evan. Duke Wilson felt very knowledgeable about Evan’s personality, he knew that for a noble and pure gentleman like Evan, it was impossible to help anyone get away with murder. (Poor Charles )

Hearing his words, Evan was moved in his heart. He stretched out his hand, caressing the side of Duke Wilson’s face. Looking at his clear and firm eyes, he couldn’t help but want to kiss him, but he couldn’t. With the situation at this time, Evan still suppressed the impulse in his heart, just smiled lightly and said, “I am very moved by your trust.”

Slightly tilting his head, Duke Wilson looked at him as he rubbed his face on his palm, pursed his lips and said, “Evan, only you can gain my unreserved trust in this world.”

Evan’s heart suddenly felt like it was hit hard by something, his fingertips flinched slightly and his heart ached. He looked at the person in front of him who trusted him unreservedly with complicated eyes, and was speechless for a moment. He should say something? Should he continue to hide his true personality like before? Or just muddle along like this until the day he finds out?

Yes, Evan never thought of exposing himself. For him, perhaps such an approach is more cruel.

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Evan’s hesitant expression, Duke Wilson asked with some doubt.

Evan came back to his senses suddenly, and smiled at him, “I’m fine, but this case is a little complicated.” Evan lowered his head and kissed his forehead as a cover-up, and then kissed his lips with his own. He put their foreheads together and the two of them breathed against each other.

“Charles.” His hand ran through Duke Wilson’s soft hair, and the tip of his nose could smell mint, “I like you very much.”

Duke Wilson was stiff all over, he looked at Evan with a slightly dull expression, as if he could not believe what he just heard.

This is the first time that Evan has said such clear words of love to him, it is so simple but it makes his heart surge.

“Oh!” He whispered nervously and the next moment he hugged Evan tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze him into his own flesh and blood, leaving no gaps.

“Evan, I love you, no one in this world loves you more than me.” He kissed Evan’s ears and neck with some excitement, like a child, reckless and willful without any care for the rules.

Evan stroked the back of his head with a smile and whispered, “Okay, my dear Charles, I betrayed my own beliefs for you and we are even.”

He said this almost in a joking manner, but Duke Wilson suddenly stopped his somewhat agitated actions. He slightly pushed Evan’s shoulder away, and looked at Evan with a serious expression. Evan felt a little guilty and secretly blamed himself for saying such frivolous words.

“No, Evan.” He looked at Evan with tenderness in his eyes, completely unlike his usual serious and indifferent appearance, “What I have done is simply not equal to your sacrifice.” He caressed Evan’s face absently as he stared into Evan’s eyes, fascinated, “You betrayed your belief and I just love you, I have not done enough. Evan, don’t worry, I will not let you down, I will let you live a life that is unattainable for everyone in the world.”

Seeing him like this, Evan’s body trembled slightly and he even felt a little cold in his heart. Duke Wilson, he really has never seen him in such a state before.

“Charles.” Evan looked down at Duke Wilson, forcing his expression to soften, “You don’t have to do anything, as long as you are by my side, it will be fine.”

That’s fine…

Confused, Duke Wilson looked at Evan. Is this all right? It never occurred to him that maybe there are people in this world who have such a simple idea.

Looking at his expression, Evan suddenly felt his heart soften for some reason. This man has never encountered true happiness in his life. His wife and father have left him. Their relationships were short-lived and pitiful, and the only son is also afraid of him. Before Evan appeared, no one could enter his heart and no one could make him soft. He was like a piece of cold ice. So unreasonable but also so pitiful.

“Charles.” He hugged Duke Wilson into his arms. How long has it been since he felt such a soft emotion in his heart, “I just want you.”

When he said this, Evan didn’t realize how gentle the expression on his face was at this moment. It’s not the kind of alienated gentleness he deliberately pretends to have on weekdays, but real gentleness with the warmest smile in the world.

Duke Wilson’s ears turned red, he hugged Evan’s waist and buried his hot cheeks in his arms. His heart was beating like crazy. Maybe he has really gone crazy, Duke Wilson murmured in his heart. At this moment, he just wants to be with this man in front of him forever.

The carriage wobbled towards the south of Delanlier, from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. Although this distance is long, it will always end. At the moment when Evan and Duke Wilson in the carriage were feeling different intense emotions, the carriage had already stopped outside the door of the church and the coachman reminded them in a low voice, “My lord, Reverend Bruce, we’ve arrived at the church.”

Duke Wilson was leaning on Evan’s shoulder. Raising his head, he glanced at Evan, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, “Can you go back with me?” There was a rare pleading note in his tone, and as for where to go, Evan is naturally very clear.

Evan laughed, he raised his hand and touched the top of his head and said softly, “Not today, tomorrow is Sunday, I want to give worship with the whole town, I can’t arrive too late. The previous few times I was late, Mrs Sanders warned me. If I am late again this time, she will get angry.”

When he heard this, Duke Wilson snorted a little unconvinced. For him, a powerless old woman could never threaten his power, but seeing Evan’s gentle smiling face, Duke Wilson swallowed the most evil thoughts in his heart, just leaned over and kissed the corner of Evan’s mouth quickly and said, “You must stay next time.”

Evan nodded, a little dumbfounded. When it comes to this kind of thing, Duke Wilson is really naive and cute.

Duke Wilson saw Evan off the carriage and then left. Before he left, he handed over an inconspicuous black box beside him to Evan, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes, “Evan, you have to take good care of yourself, this time is unusual, you have to be careful.”

Evan took the heavy box with some surprise and before he had time to be polite, Duke Wilson’s carriage left, and Evan watched the carriage leave.

Evan returned to the church. The box that Duke Wilson gave him was not locked. Evan just took a rough look and then opened the lid. The moment he saw what was inside, Evan was shocked.

This is a very beautiful antique pistol.

Of course, this is naturally the case in Evan’s view. If you look at it in this era, this pistol is a popular thing in this era. The handle is very exaggeratedly inlaid with gemstones and the silver-white barrel looks very beautiful, but it is the complete opposite of the modern black and cold version. This gun has a gentle atmosphere from this world.

Evan looked at the gun and fell into a long period of sluggishness. He knows about this gun. This was a gift from the old duke to Duke Wilson when he went to the battlefield. For the stern old duke, it might be the only gift given to Duke Wilson, but at this moment, this gift was lying quietly on Evan’s table, looking so peaceful, as if the blood and fighting it had experienced was just a passing memory.

Evan picked up the pistol, as if the warmth of the Duke’s body still remained on it. Evan sighed in comfort, as if he was a pervert with some kind of secret interest. He did not expect that Duke Wilson would give this thing to him, he doesn’t know whether his heart is more surprised than happy or more happy than surprised.

But no matter what, Evan suddenly felt at this moment that his feelings for Duke Wilson were gradually becoming more and more real, which was beyond his expectations. But at the same time, he is also very clear in his heart that he does not want to give up this relationship easily.

Then stick to it!

Evan picked up the gun. Looking at the floating clouds outside the window, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

When the Duke of Wilson returned to the Cornwall Manor, Butler Chris was waiting outside the castle. When he saw him coming back, he hurried up to greet him, “My Lord! Mr Kevin is waiting in the study. He said that he has something very important to report to you.”

Butler Chris’s expression was so anxious that even Duke Wilson couldn’t help frowning. He jumped out of the carriage neatly and walked towards the castle with big strides.
