Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 113 - Between Husband and Wife

“Are you sure you want to go there, Charles? I don’t want you to get too involved in this matter. The city is full of storms now. If you go again, I’m afraid there will be some bad rumors.” Evan put down his heart for Duke Wilson and his many thoughts, and then asked with some worry.

Duke Wilson looked at his worried face and smiled, his tone was much gentler, “Don’t worry, Chandler didn’t dare to do this blatantly, I will be careful.”

Evan breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on his face did not lessen. He looked straight at Duke Wilson, thinking about this case and felt a little shaken in his heart.

But in the end he just sighed. This matter is actually just a preliminary conjecture of his own and evidence is still needed to prove it, otherwise everything is empty talk.

The two of them got intimate in the living room for a while, and then Duke Wilson left. His Manor has been unsettled for the past few days. Because of this matter, Duke Wilson has many things to re-arrange.

After seeing off Duke Wilson, Evan went to work as usual, but because of these cases, fewer and fewer people came to the church these days, so Evan’s work was much easier than before.

Just after the afternoon prayers, Evan finished all his work and he returned to the priest’s hut after finishing his evening prayer alone.

But as soon as he went back, Sheriff Chandler came over and he looked a little unhappy.

“Reverend, do you know?”

This unfinished sentence made Evan feel a little amused, “What did you say?”

Sheriff Chandler sat down on the sofa, a little discouraged, and took off the hat on his head.

“Don’t you know? Duke Wilson asked to participate in tomorrow’s interrogation. Our director has already agreed, and also promised that this matter will be done in secret.” Evan knew that Duke Wilson would definitely achieve his goal through some means, but unexpectedly, he would skip Sheriff Chandler and go directly to the director of the police station.

“Oh, don’t you think this is bad?” Evan asked with a look of doubt, as if he’s just hearing this for the first time.

Sheriff Chandler scratched his head, looking troubled.

“It’s not like that.” He muttered, “I respect Duke Wilson very much but he is too involved in this matter. I don’t want him to be involved any more. It’s not good for anyone.”

Evan actually understood what Sheriff Chandler meant, this is the same concept as modern people in power who try not to get involved in cases related to themselves, but unfortunately in this privileged society, this cannot be achieved.

“You don’t have to worry so much. Duke Wilson is a noble gentleman. He will not disturb your case. Maybe he is just worried about the progress of this case. You just need to solve this case.” Evan reassured him because at this juncture, he did not want to see conflicts between the Duke and Sheriff Chandler.

Sheriff Chandler nodded helplessly. This matter is now a foregone conclusion, and no matter how inappropriate he feels it is, he cannot change it.

“Well, maybe you’re right. I think with the Duke around, Mel might be able to say more things.”

Evan nodded with a smile, but his heart was calm. Maybe tomorrow, he would be able to get an answer to the thoughts in his mind.

After sending Sheriff Chandler away, Evan had a good night’s sleep. Since this incident happened, this is the first time that Evan has slept so peacefully. Perhaps it is because he has sufficient confidence in his guess, Evan felt that this matter was not far from the truth.

Early the next morning, Evan had just finished his breakfast when a carriage stopped at his door. Tom came in to report the news in surprise, but Evan already knew who it was. Adjusting his collar, he went out.

When Evan just walked out, he found that it was snowing outside and there was a slight chill in the air. Evan tightened the cloak on his body and directly got into the carriage parked at the door.

As soon as he entered the carriage, there was a rush of warmth and Evan couldn’t help shivering, but he only felt that his whole body was much warmer.

Before he could speak, he was dragged by a pair of warm hands and into a warm embrace.

Evan smiled, stroked the back of the black head leaning against his neck, and whispered, “What’s wrong with you?”

He didn’t speak but sucked a small piece of skin on Evan’s neck, which made Evan feel a little flustered, and the hands holding his waist tightened.

“Okay Charles, we’re in the carriage.” Evan whispered, enduring the commotion in his heart.

But Duke Wilson laughed and said in a low voice, “Weren’t we also in the carriage last time?”

His words were low and ambiguous and Evan’s heart trembled, almost unable to hold back.

“You still said last time, last time I…” Evan’s voice trembled slightly, and he sounded a little guilty.

But Duke Wilson immediately interrupted his words. He raised his head from Evan’s shoulder, pressed against Evan’s forehead, looked into Evan’s eyes and said very seriously, “Evan, don’t feel guilty, I voluntarily did it. I love you, I am willing to give you everything I have and as long as you stay by my side, you can do whatever you want.” His words are so simple, but also so serious,

Evan looked into his eyes and didn’t know what to say for a while. He just felt a warm flow in his heart, and the hesitation and anxiety he felt completely dissipated at this moment. For the first time, Evan thought, I may be crazy.

“Oh, Charles!” Evan whispered, and then sealed Duke Wilson’s lips.

This person’s lips are so soft, completely different from him. As soon as Evan kissed him, he opened his mouth obediently, allowing Evan to ravage in his mouth and Evan’s kiss was different from his own. It is also completely different, it is almost a kind of sadistic toughness, not allowing him the slightest leeway, sucking his lips and tongue, licking his mouth, not letting go of every corner of his mouth, making him feel like he has no way to retreat. He can only respond with his lips and tongue, he can only breathe with his rhythm.

Until the end when the kiss finally ended, Duke Wilson was absent-minded, panting heavily and the silver-white liquid drew an arc as they separated with a lewd breath. Duke Wilson laid his head on Evan’s shoulder as he panted, but there was a look of firm possessive desire in his eyes.

This person belongs to him, and he will not let go even if he dies this time.

The two remained silent for a long time. Only then did Duke Wilson recover from the lustful kiss just now. He hugged Evan’s waist and looked up at Evan. His beautifully shaped chin and fair neck made him feel a little dazed, and he leaned forward and kissed Evan’s chin and said, “Evan, you must not leave me.”

Evan stretched out his hand and stroked the back of his neck, like he was comforting a small animal, he smiled softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t.” I will lock you by my side forever so that you have no room to retreat, Evan looked at the white snow falling outside the window as such a strong and terrifying desire arose in his heart.

Duke Wilson leaned on Evan’s shoulder again, with a sweet wish in his heart.

The two of them finally got to Colonel Mel’s manor before the agreed time. Because they were afraid of being seen, their carriage this time was very low-key, with no emblem and flag, and there was no sign of them after entering Colonel Mel’s manor. Heading directly towards the manor, they entered the living room as they were invited in by the butler.

When he first entered the living room, Evan couldn’t believe that this place was the place he had been to a few days ago. The furniture was neat and new, the fireplace was warm and the furnishings were warm. A reluctant but still smiling manservant.

This is completely different from the bleak and sad appearance from a few days ago. Evan laughed when he saw this. It seems that Mrs Mel still has a deep affection for Colonel Mel. Evan thought very meaningfully.

A moment later, Mrs Mel came down from upstairs. At this moment, the unkempt and unlovely woman from a few days ago was gone, she looked much gentler with a soft face, soft brown curly hair tied up lightly, and wearing a light yellow cashmere shawl.

“My lord, Mr Priest.” She nodded to Evan and Duke Wilson.

Evan returned a salute with a smile, but Duke Wilson just nodded stiffly, with no expression on his face.

Evan sighed in his heart and pinched the back of his hand out of sight. This person is always so capricious, now almost everyone who knows about Mrs Mel’s situation will sympathize with her. If Duke Wilson is too unreasonable, I’m afraid it will cause people’s dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, the old butler standing beside him was frowning.

It was just Evan’s painstaking efforts but Duke Wilson didn’t pay attention to it. He even glared at Evan, but there was an unconcealable tenderness in that look. Evan knew very well that he might have misunderstood.

The eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two didn’t last long when there was another noise outside, and Mrs Mel walked towards the door almost anxiously. She didn’t even care about her current pregnancy situation and directly trotted towards the door.

Duke Wilson’s brows furrowed deeper, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mrs Mel.

Evan stood there without moving, but kept observing the movement at the door.

Finally, when Mrs Mel was a step away from the door, the door was opened and when Colonel Mel’s pale and thin face appeared outside the door, tears flowed from Mrs Mel’s eyes.

“Oh, Charlie!” she screamed and rushed at Colonel Mel.

When Colonel Mel saw Mrs Mel, his eyes loosened a bit, almost with a hint of tenderness but the next moment, he returned to the dead silence from before, watching Mrs Mel throw herself into his arms, holding onto his body and crying bitterly. But there was no expression on his face, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Sheriff Chandler came in from behind. He frowned and looked at the weird couple, and said in a low voice, “Okay, ma’am, you are still pregnant, so crying like this is not good for the child.”

“What!” Colonel Mel’s eyes widened immediately, with an obvious look of ecstasy, “She’s pregnant!?”
