Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Evan returned to Derainer Church with a bunch of candles in the dark. Mrs. Sanders was away these days, and Dean George helped him to get up and down. At this time, he saw him hug When the candle came back, there was a happy look on his face.

    "Oh, Mr. Reverend, you came back with candles. I was just worried about not having enough candles, which is great."

    Evan couldn't laugh at this moment, he nodded stiffly at George, turned and entered the church.

    George looked at Evan's back and frowned for some unknown reason. He had never seen Pastor Bruce look so embarrassed.

    Evan entered the living room and collapsed on the chair. He hugged his head in annoyance. He completely offended Duke Wilson today.

    All the efforts made in the past are in vain today.

    Evan clenched his fist fiercely, and his mood was very low. He really did not expect that such a thing would happen today.

    Evan was very irritable in his heart. He was not sure what the Duke was thinking at this time. If he had turned black, then he would have absolutely no possibility to leave that place alive today. But he just let him go again. At that time, it showed that in fact, the Duke has not completely blackened now, and he still has a glimmer of hope.

    Evan raised his head from his arms. He had countless lovers in his last life, and he has rich experience in how to deal with different people. Since the duke is still a rational person, then With my own experience, I can definitely get him.

    Evan's mood finally improved, and the original depression was also dissipated a lot under the strong hint in his heart, he understood his image in the eyes of the Duke, then he will also Do your best to maintain that image until his doubts dissipate.

    Evan did a very good job in the evening prayer this afternoon, even George, who knew him well, looked at him a few more times and always felt something was wrong, but what was wrong? , but he couldn't say it.

    The next day was the day of John's burial. The cloud that haunted the whole of Derain Lier finally returned to dust on this day. As a small town priest, Evan must be He was going to show up to officiate the funeral, so Evan was extra careful that day. He chose his latest priest's robe and asked Mrs. Haydn to iron it several times before going out.

    Evan had just left the house, and before he had time to say goodbye to the servants at home, Sheriff Chandler's carriage stopped in front of Evan, he pulled Evan's arm with one hand and wanted to He took him to the carriage, and Evan stopped his movements in surprise and asked, "Sheriff, what's the matter with you?"

    Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with an uneven breath, and whispered: "A lady from London is here to attend Little John's funeral."

    Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler in surprise: "The one introduced by Mrs. Lawrence?"

     Sheriff Chandler nodded and added: "I believe that John's depravity that Amy said is definitely related to this lady, maybe this lady seduced John to do it. What a shameful thing, you know, the girls in London are different from ours."

    Evan suddenly couldn't help crying and laughing: "Sheriff, you worry too much, I believe that the lady who can make Mrs. Lawrence fancy is definitely not a lady from ordinary people, and won't do these things ."

    Evan actually wanted to tell the sheriff directly what he knew. Unfortunately, when Jimmy said this, he was in a state of confession. As a clergyman, he could not go against his profession moral.

    Sheriff Chandler touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said in frustration: "You are right, but..." His eyes suddenly lit up: "But since she came to attend the small John's funeral, does that mean that she still has some feelings for little John, so my reasoning is not unreasonable."

    Evan had no words to refute for a while, but he really didn't want to see an innocent woman caught in a rumor, especially when he knew all the truth.

    "Sheriff Chandler, I think you still need to handle this matter carefully." Evan chose his words carefully: "This matter is about the reputation of a lady, you can't do this Arbitrarily jumping to conclusions, Miss Arya was a good proof before."

    Speaking of Arya, Sheriff Chandler himself blushed, and Dr. Hester is still reluctant to talk to him.

    "You're right, I'm too eager, but this matter can't be resolved, it's really uncomfortable for me." Sheriff Chandler frowned. .

    Evan smiled lightly: "You are a very capable sheriff, this time John's death, in my opinion, is a tragedy, he did not have anything to kill The enemy, the living environment is also very simple, but he was found murdered in his bedroom. This is really incredible, but we may also think about it in a different way. In this world, there are not only people who can kill people Hate and love."

    Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with some vague understanding, and was speechless for a while. Amy's confession had made him focus on the Lawrence couple. Now Evan said this again, is it really...

     Sheriff Chandler was a little panicked. He always thought he was living in a quiet town, but he never thought that such a dirty thing would be exposed nakedly. , Sheriff Chandler was in disbelief for a moment.

     "Pastor... Pastor, your thoughts are too crazy." Sheriff Chandler said dryly.

    Evan just smiled slightly, the seeds of doubt have been planted, and only after the evidence can it take root and sprout.

    "Okay, I'm just talking about these things, you don't have to take it seriously, I still have a funeral to officiate today, if you have anything, please come back after the funeral Look for me." Evan got rid of Sheriff Chandler's restraint and walked towards Delan Lier Church.

    Evan's funeral was solemn and solemn. The Lawrence and his wife seemed to be drained of water, and they both looked like they were ten years older.

    Especially Mrs. Lawrence, she was almost grief-stricken. She was wearing a long black dress, which made her slender body even smaller. Although Mr. Lawrence looked at the spirit It was not good, but he still stood there with a straight waist, holding Mrs. Lawrence's hand tightly, letting her rest half of her body on her.

    Evan turned to look at a strange woman standing behind Mrs. Lawrence, she was also wearing a long black dress and a hat with black gauze on her head, covering She has half a face, but it can still be seen from the outline that this lady is very beautiful.

    Evan's eyes flashed slightly, it seems that this is the lady from London that Sheriff Chandler said.

    Evan stood quietly by the altar, waiting for the arrival of the town people.

    What he didn't expect was that Arya came too, she was wearing a dark green dress, with the hairband John gave her on her head, holding Hayes Dr. Te's arms came in.

    As soon as she came in, Mrs. Lawrence screamed: "Pastor! Get her out of here! I don't want this woman at my son's funeral!"

    Evan was taken aback, stepped forward in a hurry, stopped Mrs. Lawrence who wanted to beat someone, and said loudly: "Please calm down, God is above, do you want to Beating people in church?"

    Mrs. Lawrence was very weak originally, but when Evan stopped her, her momentum weakened.

    "My God!" Mrs. Lawrence cried and was tired to the ground: "My poor John likes this man so much, but what did he get in the end! Betrayal! Death!"

    Mr. Lawrence hurriedly lowered his body to help her, but Mrs. Lawrence opened his left hand.

    "You weak man!" She stared at Mr. Lawrence: "Your son was killed, but you dare not say a word, I am sure my little John is Killed by this bitch! Pastor Bruce, why doesn't God punish this vicious woman!"

    Mrs. Lawrence was almost hysterical, Mr. Lawrence's face was flushed, but at this time he was speechless.

    Doctor Hester on the side heard her insulting Arya and wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Arya, whose eyes were full of tears.

    "My dear lady, John is dead, I am very grateful for his feelings for me before, but... But a person's feelings cannot be exchanged, I have friendship with John, I regard him as my brother as a friend, but not her as a lover. My love cannot be maintained with gratitude, just like the pain in your heart cannot be treated with medicine. I do not regret the decision I made, and at the same time Please understand that I did not betray John, just to prevent him from being hurt in this unfair marriage contract. At the same time, I dare to swear to God that I did not kill John, if I have the slightest lie , let me go to **** after I die!"

    Alia's sonorous words instantly stunned the entire church, including Evan.

      Lord Arya naturally possesses both qualities.

    Mrs. Lawrence looked at Arya in disbelief, as if she was looking at a monster. Just as she was shaking her lips and trying to say something, a voice came from outside the door.

    "I heard...there should be a funeral."

    Duke Wilson!
