Guidebook for the Dark Duke
Chapter 22: bow down and confess
Sheriff Chandler saw this situation and knew that there was definitely a problem, and he would not agree to Mrs. Sanders' request, he immediately said: "Okay, no problem, But don't forget what you promised to say before."
As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Lawrence's face turned pale, but Mrs. Sanders remained expressionless: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise."
Sheriff Chandler nodded with satisfaction, nodded to several police officers, and walked out of the church, Evan followed him out, although Mrs. Sanders did not Such a request, but Evan will still wink.
No one knows what Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Lawrence said. Evan and Sheriff Chandler stayed at the church door for about an hour. Mrs. came out, followed by Mrs. Lawrence, whose face was even more ugly.
Mrs. Sanders barely glanced at Mrs. Lawrence, turned and walked to Mr. Chandler's side. Mr. Chandler hurriedly held her right hand and took care of her with a worried look.
Sheriff Chandler looked at Mrs Sanders excitedly and said, "Madam, what you promised should be fulfilled at this time."
Mrs. Sanders nodded and was about to open her mouth, but Mrs. Lawrence suddenly said, "I did it."
Her language was cold and short, without a trace of emotion.
It's completely different from the usual dramatic she.
Sheriff Chandler was stunned for a while: "What did you say?" he asked.
"I did it," Mrs. Lawrence looked at Sheriff Chandler, her eyes calm: "It was indeed me who killed John, Sheriff Chandler."
Sheriff Chandler instantly put a smile on his face, ignored Mrs. Sanders, and walked directly to Mrs. Lawrence: "You finally pleaded guilty, to be honest, it is only me The evidence I have is enough to send you to the gallows, but out of respect for your husband, I am still willing to let you admit it yourself, so please forgive me, why did you do such a thing? John It's your son!"
Mrs. Lawrence's face twitched for a moment: "He is not my son."
Superintendent Chandler looked at Mrs. Lawrence in amazement.
"He did not follow my advice to get engaged to Miss Catherine, and repeatedly went against my will. When I was arguing with him, I missed the result." Mrs. Lawrence's face did not waver in the ear After saying these words, she almost seemed a little cold, and Mrs. Sanders was crying and slumped in Mr. Chandler's arms.
Sheriff Chandler looked at this strange scene, very smart and didn't say anything, some secrets, let it keep a secret attitude, this town can no longer withstand any blow .
Sheriff Chandler finally left with an indifferent Mrs. Lawrence.
Looking at their backs, Evan's expression was a little unbelievable: "How can she..."
Mrs. Sanders sneered: "There are too many bad things done, and of course there will be a day when I can't bear it. God blesses Delan Lille, and at the same time will not let this vicious woman go ."
Evan looked back at Mrs. Sanders in surprise. He had never seen Mrs. Sanders with such mean words. It seems that a mother's love for her child will indeed change a people.
Evan has long speculated about Mrs. Sanders' secret, the weeping in front of the Virgin after the banquet at Lawrence's house, the disease she suffered after John's death, the loss she said Evan suspected that the little John, who was favored by the Lawrence and his wife, was related to Mrs. Sanders. Now it seems that he is indeed right. Mrs. Sanders is little John's biological mother.
As for Mrs. Lawrence…
Looking in the direction where Sheriff Chandler was leaving, Evan sighed, if a woman knew that her husband was unfaithful to her, she would do anything, even if she raised her own so long child.
Mrs. Sanders was helped away by Mr. Chandler again, and Evan also turned around and entered the church. He also had many emotions in his heart for today's events.
The news of Mrs. Lawrence's confession spread the next day, and the entire town of Delanlier was caught in the whirlpool of rumors. At this time, the Lawrence family stood on the cusp of the storm.
At this time, Evan welcomed Mr. Lawrence's visit. He was not as bright as before. His hair was already gray at this time, and the whole person looked like he was ten years older, and his eyes were full of mourning.
He was already short, and now he was completely stooped. He looked at Evan and whispered: "Pastor Bruce, Sheriff Chandler no longer sees me at all, can you Can't tell him for me, Mary she...she..." Mr. Lawrence was almost speechless, he buried his face in his hands, and big, cloudy tears ran down his fingers.
Evan looked at Mr. Lawrence, really didn't know what to say, and finally he sighed and whispered: "You go back first, Sheriff Chandler knows what to do ."
Mr. Lawrence bowed his head, not looking at Evan at all, only a faint sob.
Evan closed his mouth in embarrassment. After a long time, Mr. Lawrence finally raised his head with a trace of tears on his face. He looked at Evan with some despair, and suddenly said: "Is God? Will keep Mary out, won't it, Reverend Bruce?" Mary was Mrs. Lawrence's name.
Evan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "The merciful God will not reject any lost soul."
Mr. Lawrence seemed to have seized a chance and clasped Evan's hands tightly: "Mr. Pastor, is what you said true?"
Evan frowned and wanted to pull out his hand, but in the end he did nothing and nodded.
Mr. Lawrence relaxed, he nodded to Evan gratefully, and left the church.
Looking at the back of Mr. Lawrence, Evan frowned slightly and said nothing.
He said something that changed Duke Wilson's attitude.
Just before Evan could take action, Dr. Hester invited Evan to his house the next morning.
Evan was very surprised. Although he had an intersection with Dr. Hester before, he did not have any deep friendship. Dr. Hester's sudden invitation made many thoughts in his heart.
Although Evan was full of thoughts, he still arrived at Dr. Hester's house on time. Dr. Hester was very happy with Evan's arrival. He even took out a silver Cutlery to entertain Evan.
Evan was a little flattered. The bottle of red wine he brought at random seemed to be inferior.
Dr. Hester was not surprised at all, he welcomed Evan in with a very enthusiastic attitude, and Alia also walked out of the living room, dressed very formally, wearing a light green The skirt, which made her white skin and lips red, became more and more attractive.
Seeing Evan coming in, Arya bowed very reservedly, Evan smiled and nodded, the relationship between the two is really gentle.
Dr. Hester stood on the side and smiled very happily, he stretched out his hand towards Evan: "Pastor Bruce, please sit down, it's great that you can come today, Ellie Ya has been looking forward to your arrival." After speaking, she felt something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Of course, and me."
Evan's original smile suddenly froze. He is not a stunned young man, he can even be regarded as a battle-hardened man. If Dr. Hester's words can be considered explicit, he He'd be a fool if he couldn't hear the overtones.
Alia lowered her head with a flushed face, gently tugged at the corner of Dr. Hester's shirt, and whispered, "Father, it's time to invite Pastor Bruce to dinner."
Dr. Hester laughed more and more happily: "Pastor Bruce, I'm really sorry, or what Arya said, please sit down, Arya has prepared a very rich meal today. dinner."
Evan looked at Dr. Hester and sat down slowly. He now finally understands the meaning of Dr. Hester's weird smile at that time. He wanted to match himself and Arya.
Evan thinks this is a bit absurd, but at the same time, he is also a little bit happy. Is this what Dr. Hester said to Duke Wilson that day? If so, if Duke Wilson insisted on letting him go, does it mean that he did not agree with himself and Arya either.
Evan suddenly felt that Dr. Hester was too cute.
The dinner was carefully prepared, Dr. Hester kept trying to adjust the atmosphere before Evan and Arya, but Evan was obviously inattentive, and Arya did not Not much cooperation, even if Dr. Hester tried his best, he could not make the relationship between the two people half-hearted.
The last three people finished their meal without embarrassment. Dr. Hester was obviously annoyed and sent Evan out of the house, but Evan was full of relief, and he walked out of Hayes briskly From Dr. Te's house, he quickly had new ideas about his future plans.
Looking at today's situation, Alia is a little reluctant. In fact, this is normal. This book was originally about the relationship between Alia and the duke. I'm afraid that these two people will have a beginning and an end, and looking at the expressions of Arya when she faced the duke a few times before, it can be seen that she only has feelings for the duke in her heart.
Evan was walking in the darkness, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, across the cold night, like a loner walking between black and white, he looked at the road ahead , but there was no slight fluctuation in his heart. Even if he had feelings, he would never give up the golden backer of the Duke no matter what.
