Chapter 75 - Subtle Atmosphere
Chapter 75 - Subtle Atmosphere
Not long after Evan was ready, there was a knock on his door. Evan stood there and didn’t move, but waited for Duke Wilson to knock a few more times. The sound became faster and faster. He could almost imagine how the person on the other side of the door had a look of anxiety. Evan slowly walked to the door and opened it.
“I’m really sorry, I was changing my clothes just now. I’m sorry for being so rude, Lord Duke.” With a slightly embarrassed smile on Evan’s face, he looked at Duke Wilson apologetically.
At this time, Duke Wilson was completely dumbfounded. He stared at Evan in a daze as his face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He’d never thought, he… He has never seen Evan looking like this before.
In the Duke’s heart, Evan is always abstinent and solemn, even his smile is usually a shallow smile. Now he looks this way…
The Duke swallowed, his gaze could hardly leave Evan’s neck and collarbone, so beautiful was the shape of his neck, he really…really…
“Lord Duke?” Evan was very satisfied with Duke Wilson’s reaction, but he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Duke Wilson jolted awake suddenly. He turned his face away in embarrassment and didn’t dare to look at Evan’s face.
“I…I’m fine.” Duke Wilson’s expression was dodgy, and his tone was also very guilty.
Evan didn’t see the differences in him, and continued to smile, “You’re fine, that’s good. Please come in.”
Duke Wilson walked in with his head down. Evan’s room was the same as the one he stayed in the last time he came. After he left, the Duke also came to this room, but Evan was not there at that time so even if he (DW) lives in this room, he would not feel the slightest emotional fluctuation, but now it is different. With Evan here, it feels like the surrounding air has become active, and his nose and lips seem to be filled with Evan’s breath.
“Lord Duke.” Evan suddenly walked up to Duke Wilson’s side, less than a foot from him.
Duke Wilson was startled. He subconsciously held his breath, but his eyes looked at Evan unconsciously. He was so close to him that he could almost see the drops of water falling from the tip of his hair and his cheeks. With that faint blush, Duke Wilson only felt a commotion in his heart, and his hands started shaking a bit.
“You…you, please say it.” Duke Wilson felt a slight dryness in his throat.
Looking at Duke Wilson behaving like this, Evan smiled in his heart, but he still had a serious look on his face and said softly, “Lord Duke, I told you about my family before, but now there has been a change in the situation and I want to ask for your help.”
Evan told the truth. When Reverend Robert was in Delanlier, he had told Evan that his brother was about to get married. Originally, Evan thought that his father would not invite him again. But he didn’t expect that just a few days ago, his father’s letter finally arrived. His father still didn’t forget his second son and wanted him to attend his brother’s wedding in London.
“Oh? What’s the matter?” Duke Wilson was still a little distracted at this time. His mind seemed to be attracted to Evan himself and he didn’t understand what he was saying at all.
Of course, Evan was very aware of Duke Wilson’s state at this time. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the Duke’s arm. The Duke was startled by this action and his whole body froze. He allowed Evan to pull himself to sit on the sofa, and Evan even sat beside him again.
“This story is not short, you should sit down and listen.” Evan said a rare sentence to ease the atmosphere, but it is a pity that the Duke’s senses were all dull now and he didn’t listen to what Evan said. The only thing he could feel was Evan’s hand on his arm.
That hand seemed to have a scorching heat that penetrated straight into his blood through his sleeves and skin, and then poured into his brain, making him almost unable to think at this time.
Evan may have seen that the Duke’s brain was stunned at this time, so he did not force him to say something but started talking on his own.
“My father is an old-fashioned gentleman and he hardly cares about me.” When Evan said this, he paused and recalled the memory of the original owner.
“Actually, I don’t even think he cares about my brother at all. The only thing he cares about is his property.” Evan sighed when he said this. In fact, the original owner was also a poor man. With such a family, there may be traces of selfishness in the future.
“Almost all my living expenses and tuition fees since I was a child were the funds that my mother left to me during her lifetime. It was originally kept by my father. When I was 20 years old, he handed over these things to me. I don’t have much money and I basically maintain my food and clothing.”
When he said this, Evan lowered his eyes, and Duke Wilson also woke up from the crashed state he was in at this time and looked at Evan. He saw that Evan looked slightly down and he couldn’t help frowning.
“But these are not the most important.” Evan continued, “The most important thing is that after my father handed me these properties, he told me that I should never expect to get a penny from him in the future and I should never step through the gates of the Bruce family in the future. All his property is absolutely not allowed to be divided, all I can have is these small things he already gave me.”
Evan said this with sympathy in his tone. When you think about it, the original owner was pitiful, and it was little wonder that he would turn so crazy after meeting such a heartless father.
And when Duke Wilson heard these words, his expression was so ugly that he almost looked like he wanted to kill someone. It was unforgivable that there was someone that treated Evan like this!
Duke Wilson clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t imagine how Evan, who was only twenty years old at the time, faced such a cruel thing. As long as he imagined it a little, he wanted to kill that old-fashioned and ruthless old man.
“Actually, it’s nothing.” Evan gave a wry smile before Duke Wilson offered his comfort, “I don’t actually have much interaction with him. And when he said such cruel words, although I felt uncomfortable in my heart, I didn’t feel the pain I imagined I would feel. Maybe because preparations had already been made as I grew up.”
Duke Wilson looked at Evan who was smiling and he hesitated. Even seemed to have been like this for what felt like forever and he didn’t need comfort or sympathy from others.
“If that’s the case, why did Mr Bruce invite you back to the wedding at this time?” Since he has done such a heartless thing, it is too weird to invite him to the wedding at this time. There is definitely a problem here.
“I think so too.” Evan said with a puzzled expression, “It stands to reason that my father is not a person who will take back his own words. He always says what he will do. It is precisely because of his iron grip and blood ties that the Bruce family has gotten this far. It’s a little bit unimaginable that he’s suddenly inviting me to London now.”
Although Evan said such words, his whole attention was completely on Duke Wilson and he moved closer to the Duke without a trace, until his arm was against the Duke’s and their thighs were only separated by a thin line.
Evan was very natural when he did this, and Duke Wilson didn’t see the slightest intention, but it was a torment for the Duke at this time. He had already prepared a careful answer and was about to answer, but that scorching heat from Evan’s body climbed up his (DW) body again. He couldn’t ignore the arm that was close to his arm, and he couldn’t control his eyes from looking at Evan’s exposed collarbone and white neck. That, and his arms can feel the tight waist and abdomen.
Duke Wilson was really on pins and needles at this time. He wanted to escape, but he couldn’t give up the temptation, but he also didn’t dare to go any further and do things that he might regret even more. Duke Wilson has never felt like this in his entire life. (If only you could go further, if only🤤🤤)
“Lord Duke? What’s the matter with you?” Evan looked at him with a look of doubt, as if he was puzzled.
Duke Wilson looked at Evan, his eyes were glued to his blue eyes and pale lips. Such a beautiful arc, he really couldn’t help but want to kiss them. (If only 😏)
Evan looked at the duke and saw through his little thoughts, but instead of retreating, he reached out and stroked his forehead, “Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?”
His move of leaning in almost glued his entire body onto the Duke’s. His body covered the Duke’s, their chests were close and they could smell each other’s breath. Duke Wilson was startled and wanted to move back, but Evan grabbed his arm.
“Don’t move. Lord Duke, let me see if you’re sick.”
“I…I’m not sick.” Duke Wilson stammered, “I think I need some fresh air.” He couldn’t bear it anymore. If he stays here, if he stays any longer, he will do something embarrassing.
Evan did not let him go, but frowned deeply, “Oh, your forehead is a little hot, is it really a fever?”
His palm was slightly cold, but in Duke Wilson’s senses, it seemed to be burning hot carbon with a scorching heat.
“I…I have to go.” Duke Wilson struggled to stand up from the sofa, trying to turn around and leave, but he brought down the unsuspecting Evan and he held onto Duke Wilson as he (E) fell over.
Duke Wilson tensed at this sudden action and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but he misestimated Evan’s weight and he was knocked to the ground as well.
The surrounding suddenly became quiet. Duke Wilson was stunned when he looked at Evan’s face in front of him. Now the two of them were stuck together with almost no gaps. It seemed to Duke Wilson that it was almost impossible for this to happen, but at this moment, he didn’t feel good, he only felt ashamed and angry!
Because…because of him…
“Lord Duke…” The embarrassment on Evan’s face at this time was obvious to the naked eye. He did not expect that Duke Wilson would be so excited and clinging to his thigh, just from such a small stimulus. Evan could feel the scorching heat from his (DW) lower body and as long as he is an adult male, it is impossible for him to be unaware of what it is.
Duke Wilson seemed to have only reacted at this time and he quickly pushed Evan away from him. He fled from Evan’s room without looking back, not even having the courage to look at Evan again.
This moment is definitely the most embarrassing and shameful moment in his entire life!
(Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
Duke Wilson got a boner! Oh God, I love this, he can’t hide at all now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
