Guidebook for the Dark Duke

it had been swept by the wind and his clothes were also somewhat wrinkled.
It looked like he came after 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, “Go on.” His tone was very cold, 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 in the past few days to the Duke but this time he didn’t dare make random speculations like the last time, and he honestly reported all the objective facts he had investigated to the Duke.

Duke Wilson was still frowning at first, but the expression on his face gradually softened a lot in the end.
Ederson’s expression looked a little weird.
To be honest, in his investigation this time, even he felt a little weird.
He still couldn’t see through the relationship between Ford and Bruce.
Back then, the two friends declared that Ford was a despicable homosexual and spread the rumours, but the two were just purely jealous of Ford and it had nothing to do with Reverend Bruce.

And Ford’s father, the venerable earl, had also approached Reverend Bruce.
This matter was very secret at that time.
He found the earl’s private secretary from back then and it was only through some special means that he came to know about the meeting.
It’s just that, what was said in the past, only the earl and Reverend Bruce know.

And looking at the Duke’s reaction now, maybe the Duke also knows.

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 between his legs in order for him to be trusted again, but 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 said, “Okay, you did a good job this time.
You can go.”

Ederson instantly recovered, he bowed to the Duke, turned and left the hall.

After Ederson left, Duke Wilson also stood up.
Ederson’s investigation results were in line with Evan’s remarks.
Although he is leaving Cornwall Manor, he is still in Delanlier, Duke Wilson comforted himself.

Most importantly, Evan is still the same Evan.

******

The Duke’s good mood continued until the next morning and even Evan was very surprised to see the Duke’s bright appearance.
Does he not care about me leaving? Evan had this doubt, but when he saw Ederson’s respectful figure, Evan immediately knew what had caused it.
It seemed that the matter had been resolved and Duke Wilson had verified and accepted his words.
Evan smiled happily.
It’s time to completely solve the tricky character, Ford .

Evan left the next afternoon, and Duke Wilson took him back to the parsonage himself in a carriage.
The servants, Mrs Sanders and the assistant priest greeted Evan at the door of the cottage, especially Mrs.
Sanders, there was a rare soft color on her cold face.

“Reverend, welcome back.” Mrs Sanders said warmly, looking at Evan as he got off the carriage.

Evan walked to Mrs Sanders and nodded slightly, “My dear lady, I am flattered by your welcome.”

Duke Wilson sat in the carriage watching this scene, and for some reason felt a little dazzled.
After Evan got down from the carriage, he didn’t get down too, he just opened the carriage door and said in a low voice, “Reverend 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 go slowly.”

As Duke Wilson’s carriage left, Mrs Sanders’ brows were furrowed.

“Reverend Bruce.” Mrs Sanders’ tone was a little hesitant, “How were you at the duke’s Manor these past days?” Duke Wilson was so rude the last time, which surprised Mrs Sanders.

Evan naturally guessed what Mrs Sanders was thinking about and smiled, “My lady, please rest assured, I have been very happy in the duke’s Manor these past days.
But the duke is really busy at this time, that is why he left in a hurry.”

Mrs Sanders’ complexion was much better now.
She looked at Evan, who was pale, and sighed, “Your luck is really bad, you just went for an autumn hunt and you didn’t come back until early winter.
Next time, you must not go hunting again, it is too dangerous.”

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

Everyone crowded Evan into the cottage.
The cottage was well taken care of.
It didn’t look like no one lived there for a long time.
Evan looked at the things in the cottage and they were the same as before he left.
Having a servant is really good, he can go on trips with confidence in the future.

Mrs Haydn had already prepared a table of food and Evan praised her very much.
The smile on Mrs Haydn’s face almost didn’t stop.
This grumpy lady could turn soft in front of Evan.

Several people were enjoying their dinner happily.
At this time, Billy, the errand boy, suddenly came in.
Mrs Haydn’s face sank immediately.
“Reverend, that Mr Ford is here.”

Evan’s original soft expression finally sank at this moment.
