Sheriff Chandler felt like it was Christmas, he had everything he wanted, he sent Laura away excitedly, and pretended to call a few people in to ask questions, and then his face Leaving Lawrence's house happily.

Mrs. Lawrence looked at Sheriff Chandler's elated back, with a haze in her eyes. She looked back at Laura, whose face was as white as a quail, with a bit of anger in her eyes.

Sheriff Chandler went straight to the church as soon as he left Lawrence's house. He wanted to give Evan the good news, but he didn't want to be told by Dean George that Evan went to the Duke's house.

Evan was picked up by a carriage sent by Duke Wilson, and the reason for the invitation was also very fair. Lord Edward wanted to see Reverend Bruce.

Evan was sitting in the car thinking about this extraordinary invitation. He was very unsure. The last incident had drawn a gulf between him and Duke Wilson. This sudden invitation was even more so. Leave him clueless.

The person who came to invite Evan was Butler Chris, who sat across from Evan with a stern face and said nothing.

Evan watched him hesitate, and finally gave up communication. You must know that the housekeeper at this time is very loyal to the master's feelings, especially those who have served the Bruce family for generations like housekeeper Chris.

In the sound of the carriage, they finally arrived at Cornwall Manor, still as gorgeous and calm as when Evan first came. Butler Chris opened the door for him and welcomed him in from the carriage.

Evan stepped on the floor of Cornwall Castle again, surrounded by delicate and bright, off-white European-style spiral staircase, with a faint soft light in the setting sun.

Duke Wilson walked down the stairs. He was wearing casual clothes today, his white shirt was slightly messy, and his originally smooth black hair was now a little messy. He was holding a book in his hand. When he saw Evan , slightly surprised in his eyes.

Evan couldn't help squinting his eyes. He had never realized so clearly at this moment that the man in front of him was so charming, with a delicate and flawless appearance, as handsome as he came out of a painting. , but the slight coldness in his light brown eyes is daunting.

Unfortunately, these people did not include Evan.

"Lord Duke." Evan saluted him respectfully, as if the moment of daze just didn't happen at all.

"Pastor Bruce, why are you here?" Duke Wilson said in a strange tone.

Evan raised his head and looked at the Duke in surprise: "Didn't you ask Butler Chris to invite me? I heard that Lord Edward wants to see me."

Just as he was talking, Butler Chris just came in.

"Chris, what the hell is going on?" The Duke frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke." Butler Chris was still expressionless: "Lord Edward's spirit has not been very uplifted these days. I heard that it was because I really wanted to see Pastor Bruce, so I took over Pastor Bruce on my own initiative. ."

Evan couldn't believe that Steward Chris, who had always followed the rules, would do such a deceitful thing. Duke Wilson was afraid to be angry.

"You...why didn't you tell me earlier." Duke Wilson just frowned: "Let you lead Pastor Bruce up."

Evan was very surprised. He glanced at Duke Wilson, but found that although he frowned, there was no displeasure in his eyes.

Evan pursed his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth drew an arc, and now he can understand the duke.

Evan walked into Edward's room, which was still the same as last time. It was clean and spacious. Edward was sitting on the carpet playing with a small wooden horse. He raised his head when he heard someone coming in. When he saw it was Evan, his eyes lit up immediately. stand up.

"Pastor Bruce!" He ran to Evan, a small hand gently pulled the hem of Pastor Evan's robe, with a clear smile in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Evan looked at these twinkling eyes, and his heart was also very comfortable. It seemed that his repeated actions were not in vain.

Evan lowered his body and squatted in front of Edward and said with a smile, "I'll come to see you, Lord Edward."

"Just call me Edward, you don't need to call me Lord." Edward said shyly, with a hint of shyness on his face.

Evan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Edward became happy when he heard this, and took Evan's hand to play the Trojan horse with him. Evan smiled at Edward, but thought to himself, it seems that Edward is much more cheerful than last time. .

Evan is not a child, of course, he is not interested in any small wooden horses and carriages, so after dealing with it for a while, he is a little tired. At this moment, there is a clear knock on the door.

Edward was still playing with the Trojan horse on the ground, but at this time he stood up immediately and ran to the door. Evan looked surprised and also stood up.

Edward quickly opened the door, then threw himself into the arms of the person outside the door, shouting, "Arya! You're finally here!"

Evan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The person outside the door was indeed Arya. She was wearing a long light blue dress today. Her brown curly hair was tied with a long beige belt, with a touch of playfulness. She smiled and carried Edward into the room. , but was obviously startled when he saw Evan, and then smiled again: "Pastor Bruce, why are you here?"

Evan was madly wary of the woman in front of him, wishing to snatch Edward in her arms, but he still said gently on his face, "It was Butler Chris who invited me over."

Edward broke free from Arya's arms, walked to Evan's side, pulled the corner of his robe, and said to Arya, "Mr. Pastor came to see me, I've been wanting to see him these days, but I didn't expect to see him. He's coming today!"

Poor little Edward had never enjoyed a gentle fatherly love, and Evan just filled the gap in his wounded heart.

Arya listened with a soft smile on her face: "Pastor Bruce is a noble person. If you can get along with him, you will definitely learn a lot."

These words she said seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, but Evan couldn't help sneering in her heart, this Miss Alia really couldn't get rid of it.

"Miss Arya has won the prize. I just came to visit Edward today, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Arya." The look in Evan's eyes was a little cold.

But Arya didn't notice it at all, but smiled shyly: "I did something very sorry to Lord Edward before, so this time I came here to ask Lord Edward's forgiveness."

Edward looked at Arya with some doubts: "What did you do, Arya? Why I don't know."

Alia was a little ashamed for a while: "You fell into the water by the lake before, because I didn't take good care of you, I'm really sorry."

Edward smiled: "I insisted on going to the lake, and it has nothing to do with Miss Arya."

Arya looked at Edward very moved and whispered, "You are really a kind person, I am ashamed of what I have done."

Evan's eyes suddenly had a bit of haze. It seemed that Edward's relationship with Arya was much better than he imagined. What he did with his life was easily resolved by Arya. Before The Duke said that he didn't want to see Arya again, and I'm afraid that it has expired now.

Evan is unwilling to stay in this place any longer. He needs to think of a way to completely cut off the relationship between these two people. Only in this way can he completely expel Arya from the game.

Evan nodded slightly: "Lord Edward, since Miss Arya is here, I will leave first, there are still many things to do in the church."

When Edward heard this, he felt a little reluctant for a while. He gently pulled the corner of Evan's robe and whispered, "Can't you stay a little longer? I want to hear you read the Bible for me."

Edward's attachment attitude finally made Evan feel better, he smiled and stroked the top of Edward's hair, and said warmly: "I'll read it for you next time, Mrs. Sanders is away these few days, and the one in the church It's too complicated."

Edward is a reasonable child. Hearing this, he stopped bothering and nodded seriously: "Okay, but you must come over next time."

Evan nodded with a smile, turned and walked out.

Evan walked down the stairs, only to find Duke Wilson and Dr. Hester sitting downstairs talking, and seeing Evan coming down, Duke Wilson was a little surprised.

"Pastor Bruce? Are you leaving?"

Evan smiled reservedly: "It's getting late, I should say goodbye."

"But Edward..." Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a complicated look.

Evan just smiled: "With Miss Arya here, I think Lord Lord will recover soon."

Speaking of Arya, Duke Wilson's expression became uncomfortable for a moment, and then he said, "Alia and Edward have always had a good relationship, and they can indeed be of great help."

The smile in Evan's eyes grew colder, and it seemed that Duke Wilson had a great change in Arya.

Evan nodded slightly at Duke Wilson and was about to leave, but Doctor Hester suddenly stopped Evan.

"Pastor Bruce." Dr. Hester had a strange smile on his face: "Why did you leave in such a hurry, Alia has suffered a lot of mental torment these days, you are a priest, and I tooI would like to ask you to help Arya get out of her slump."

The smile on Evan's face stagnated for a moment, and he asked him to help Arya. Why did he kill him without saying anything, but in order to maintain the image of a good priest, Evan was about to agree, but Duke Wilson took a step ahead..

"Pastor Bruce still has a lot to do in church, so let this venerable pastor serve God."

Duke Wilson's tone was a little stiff, and the original smile on Evan's face froze. What does Duke Wilson mean?
