Guidebook for the Dark Duke

William walked down the stairs, saw Evan standing there, and waved at him gently.

Evan said it was as if the two of them were really close brothers.

Evan couldn't laugh at this time. He felt that the current situation was a little strange. Although he knew that he should be very similar to William before, he didn't know that the two of them were so similar. level.

"It's better for you and Hugh to go there." Old Bruce gave Evan a meaningful look: "Evan stays here and has to do things for me."

When William heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and the face that originally resembled Evan became more and more gentle.

"Alright then." He nodded at Evan and walked out.

And the young man that Evan had just met also hurriedly chased out and glanced at Evan again before leaving. Maybe the two of them are really too similar.

After William and his friends left, the whole hall seemed a little empty, and old Bruce walked to Evan with complicated eyes.

"Go and help entertain the guests, today is your brother's big day, you have to be careful." Although he tried his best to say mild words, he still seemed a little stiff.

Evan nodded, since he came to Bruce's house, he must make some kind of compromise.

The people who came here today basically don’t know Evan, but these people recognized him at a glance with his and William’s extremely imaginary appearance. Fortunately, butler Ross was there to assist, otherwise Evan still doesn't know how it will end.

As time went on, more and more people came, until finally the entire Bruce family castle was in laughter and laughter, Evan saw a white carriage running along the front of the castle The wide boulevard came slowly.

Old Bruce received the message long ago, he blushed and led the guests out of the house to welcome the bride and groom.

Evan also followed the bustling guests, but he was not much interested in the wedding and just wandered in inconspicuous places.

After a short while, Evan heard fierce applause and cheers breaking out in front of him. He couldn't see what was going on, but he was generally clear that it should be the bridegroom and the bride.

Then the loud voice of old Bruce came over, he eloquently praised the marriage of William and Victoria, and then smiled and greeted Victoria's father.

After a while, the group walked towards the castle. Evan took a careful look at Victoria in a white wedding dress, with brown hair and green eyes, and a slender figure. She was indeed a beauty.

Old Bruce and Victoria's father chatted happily, while William was very gentle and let Victoria take his arm with a gentle smile on his face.

If you ignore the weird atmosphere before, Evan has to sigh a match made in heaven, but it was too weird before, and Evan still has a bit of precaution in his heart at this time.

The wedding after that was very grand, they swore and exchanged rings in a local church, and then went back to Bruce's castle to celebrate, old Bruce seemed to invite everyone he could Here, at least a hundred people will attend this wedding. If there are not enough servants, I am afraid it will get out of control.

Having never looked for him again, Evan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, in this wedding, he would rather play a silent role than deal with the father and son anymore.

Evan was on pins and needles at the wedding, but Duke Wilson didn't let up at this time. He was almost agitated and walked around the room. Old Bruce urged and invited Evan unusually. , also made him suspicious, but unlike Evan who was sitting still, he immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

.

Just as Duke Wilson was walking around the house almost a hundred times, there was a knock on the door.

Duke Wilson quickly walked to the door and opened the door. Butler Chris' calm and old-fashioned face appeared outside the door.

"Lord Duke, Kevin asks to see you."

Kevin is really the man Duke Wilson sent out to investigate this matter.

"Let him in!" Duke Wilson said almost impatiently.

Butler Chris gave Duke Wilson a slightly surprised look, but he didn't say anything, turned and left.

A short while later, a capable little man appeared at the other end of the stairs, Duke Wilson frowned at him, and whispered: "Come in!"

Kevin was taken aback by Duke Wilson who was standing at the door, so he walked in quickly and bowed to salute.

"My lord, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Don't talk nonsense! Tell me how you checked?" Duke Wilson asked immediately, impatient with the red tape.

Kevin couldn't help shaking. He didn't expect the Duke to take this matter so seriously. When he clearly ordered him, he just ordered it casually.

"Yes." He didn't dare to think any more, and immediately said: "I checked Mr. Bruce according to your instructions, and found nothing special about him, but found that Bruce The pastor's brother, Sir William Bruce, was diagnosed with tuberculosis two months ago, and he probably won't live more than two years."

Speaking of this, Kevin couldn't help shaking. Tuberculosis in this era is like death, and ordinary people have no room for resistance.

Duke Wilson was stunned when he heard the news. Evan's brother has tuberculosis? But today he...

Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning: "Does his fiancee know about his illness?"

Kevin looked a little unnatural when he talked about this, he secretly glanced at Duke Wilson, and said in a low voice: "He... It took a lot of work to find out, his fiancee should not know."

In Kevin's opinion, what the Bruce family did is really inappropriate, but he also knew very well that Pastor Bruce's position in Duke Wilson's heart, so his words were more euphemistic.

Duke Wilson's expression became more and more ugly. He had seen the invitation letter they sent to Evan before. He had seen the name of the bride, and it belonged to a member of parliament who had a good relationship with him. Daughter, that member is the younger brother of an earl, and his wife is from a famous family, so the family is very wealthy, and he values ​​this daughter very much. It is impossible for him to marry his daughter to a man with tuberculosis.

Is Bruce trying to cheat? This was the first idea that popped into Duke Wilson's mind, and then he immediately rejected it. Even if he is married now, this matter will be discovered sooner or later. It is a bit of a loss to risk offending a member of parliament. .

Duke Wilson suddenly fell into contemplation, what does old Bruce want to do? Not only did he hide his eldest son's condition, but he also called Evan back in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Duke Wilson suddenly moved, Evan! He couldn't help but have a series of very terrible thoughts in his mind. Could it be that he wants to marry that woman to Evan?

"Which master Bruce is marrying today?" Duke Wilson clenched his fists tightly, his eyes terrifying.

For him, this idea is like the end of the world.

"Huh?" Kevin looked at Duke Wilson in surprise. Isn't this obvious?

"Yes, it's Master William Bruce." Although Duke Wilson's reaction was somewhat strange, Kevin replied obediently.

Duke Wilson was relieved to hear this answer, but he couldn't help but think badly: "Are you sure?"

Kevin felt more and more inexplicable: "Lord Duke, I saw Master William Bruce pick him up at the home where he married Miss Victoria, although he looks almost exactly like Reverend Bruce, but Mr. Reverend is absolutely Not as weak as he is." Kevin said very confidently.

Duke Wilson suddenly turned his head to look at Kevin: "What did you say?" He stared at Kevin with a very rare panic in his eyes.

Kevin was startled and couldn't help but take a step back, but Duke Wilson pressed forward, grabbed his shoulders tightly, and asked fiercely: "You Say it again!"

Kevin shivered with fear, he had never seen Duke Wilson so angry.

"I...I, I said I saw William Bruce go to meet the bride, he...he looks exactly like Pastor Bruce!" Kevin finally caught what he said just now The key point, his expression also turned pale in an instant, wouldn't it...

Duke Wilson sucked in a breath of air and let go of the hands that were holding Kevin. William and Evan looked exactly the same. Just by saying this, Duke Wilson can think of many terrible things , Old Bruce is a man who is greedy for power. He can't give up such a firm backer as Victoria's father. He will do his best to seize this marriage. Duke Wilson is very sure of this.

So although he didn't know what old Bruce was going to do at this time, the panic in his heart made him restless.

"Go get the car! I'm going to Bruce's!" Duke Wilson's tone was very cold.

**

Evan sat in the living room, looking at William and Victoria in the middle of the dance floor, squinting slightly, after the afternoon buffet, there was a grand dance in the evening, old Bruce this time It's blood.

After the song ended, William took Victoria's hand and walked out of the dance floor, and it was time to leave, Evan thought, with William's body, even a single dance would be enough.

But what Evan did not expect was that William led Victoria and walked in his direction.

Evan frowned slightly, but stood up.

"Brother William, Miss Victoria." He nodded slightly, and the etiquette was perfect.

William smiled at him very gently: "Victoria, this is my brother Evan."

Victoria couldn't help exclaiming when she saw Evan, he and William were so similar.

"Oh William, I didn't believe what you said before, this is amazing, Evan and you are so similar." Victoria couldn't help laughing.

William still nodded reservedly: "The Bruce family has always had a very obvious family imprint. I and Evan are the same mother, so naturally we look alike."

The first time Evan heard this statement, he couldn't help but glance at William, but William did not look at Evan, but took out double the champagne from the passing footman With a glass of white water, he handed the champagne to Evan and Victoria, and said with a smile, "I can't drink, you don't mind."

Evan smiled very politely, touched a glass with him and Victoria, and took a sip.
