Guidebook for the Dark Duke - Chapter 125

    The sky outside the train is a little gloomy, and the thick fog covers the whole of London, even in the brightly lit train station, the faces of the people around are blurred, everyone is in a hurry, right There is no interest in the things around him at all.

      He squeezed his cuff tightly and kept looking around.

    Such bizarre behavior is considered an anomaly in this place.

    The woman also noticed the approach of those few people, and she suddenly became nervous. She couldn’t help but take a step back, looking anxious.

    At this moment, a sallow complexion and a stout middle-aged woman came over. She waved her sturdy arms to disperse the group of people, and her mouth was not clean. swearing dirty words.

    The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the middle-aged woman made her a little uneasy.

    “Madam.” The woman greeted her flatteringly and said in a low voice, “Is this your first time in London? Those hooligans are very hateful. After staying here for a long time, do you want to find a place to live? We have the most reasonable price there, and you will be satisfied.”

    The woman frowned in disgust as she looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her, and in her light brown eyes, a gleam of contempt flashed.

    “I don’t need it, thank you.” She said stiffly.

    The middle-aged woman’s complexion changed instantly, she raised her fist in anger, and insulted her with swear words that a woman had never heard of in her life, the woman’s complexion became Pale white, almost wanted to run away.

    In the end, the middle-aged woman finally took a picture of the patrolman wandering around, cast a curse and turned away.

    A woman has never been so humiliated in her life. She stood trembling on the platform and almost fainted, but the people around her didn’t even look at her.

    The woman’s tears finally flowed down at this moment, down her delicate and graceful chin, and landed on her silk clothes, fainting a small shadow.

    She lifted her veil, revealing the slightly weak face behind the veil.

    This woman is Eliza who just escaped from Derain.

    Her hands tightly held a secret letter that Mel wrote to her before she left. This letter is now her life-saving straw.

    Elysa held back the grief in her heart and quickly left the platform. She didn’t know how long she could last in such a day.

    Meanwhile, it was a different scene for Duke Evan and Wilson in Dranlier.

    Although it is already winter, the whole castle has already lit the fireplace, and the warmth of the house is like spring.

      Hot black tea and pastries.

    Although things in the UK are terrible, afternoon tea is very rich, and a picky person like Evan is also satisfied.

    Although Duke Wilson seemed to be reading a book, most of his attention was on Evan, he secretly looked at his profile from the top of the book, looking at his serious appearance , Looking at his slight frown and the smile on the corner of his mouth, Duke Wilson suddenly felt very satisfied. Maybe this kind of life is what he has been pursuing, maybe as long as he has this person, no matter what else, He can compromise.

    Duke Wilson pinched the information just received. Eliza, who was supposed to take the Sapphire Cruise to the United States, did not catch it. The one who was caught was one of her maids. As for Eliza No one knows where Sarah went.

    Duke Wilson knew that with Mel’s wisdom, he would never really trust Eliza in his hands. He would definitely have other arrangements, but Duke Wilson was not reconciled. I am not reconciled that this woman escaped from the French Open like this, but looking at it now, it is Mel who is superior.

    Duke Wilson’s expression became indifferent, he looked down at the book in his hand, if there was anyone in this world who would make him give up revenge, then this person would only be Egypt Wen Li, that woman has completely disappeared, he doesn’t need to waste his life on this kind of thing, the most important thing to him now is the person in front of him.

    “Charles, this novel is really interesting, have you read Mr. Dickens’s work before?” Evan suddenly turned his head to look at Duke Wilson.

    The Duke was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “I haven’t read many novels, but this Mr. Dickens has heard of it.”

    Evan didn’t care when he heard it, and immediately and excitedly explained the plot of the novel to Duke Wilson.

    Duke Wilson didn’t listen carefully to what Evan was saying. He was completely attracted by the look on Evan’s face. His expression was so vivid that the Duke couldn’t help but want to kiss his cheeks.

    **

    Elysa looked at the huge photo in the newspaper with a satisfied smile on her face.

    Mel guessed right, Duke Wilson would not let them off easily.

    A woman on the Sapphire cruise ship was forcibly extradited, suspected of being related to a powerful person.

      No face was exposed, only a vague profile, no one could identify who that person was.

    But Eliza recognized it at a glance, that woman was her own maid, and because she was attracted by the money Mel invested, she became her stand-in.

    A smile appeared on Eliza’s mouth. Even Duke Wilson would not have guessed that she did not leave the UK, but hid in London, hiding in his under the eyelids.

    Elysa suddenly felt a pain in her heart when she thought of this. This is what Mel came up with. Even if he died, he was still thinking about her.

    Elysa wanted to cry, but found herself unable to shed a single tear at this time, she lived in the most luxurious apartment in London, ate the freshest vegetables and food, the surrounding environment Affluent and comfortable, she communicated with the people around her like a real noble lady, and Mel made the most thorough preparations for her before she came to London, including a completely hidden identity, which made her It was easy for him to integrate into such an environment, and it also made it easy for her to completely forget about the regrettable things that happened in that small village between the people around her touting each other’s admiration and complimenting each other.

    Elysa shook her head in a reserved manner, turned the newspaper in her hand, and turned to the next sensational news.

    **

    Time never stops and Christmas is just around the corner.

    In the small town of Delanlier, Christmas is a big thing, and Evan, as a country priest, this has become his responsibility, and the whole town is carnival. On the eve, Evan needed to prepare a large number of prayers and presiding speeches, which seemed to have become a custom in Deran Lier. Every pastor who came to Delan Lier had to accept the test of the Christmas carnival.

    Because old Bruce had left, Evan also returned to his priest’s cottage, although he was reluctant, but faced with the current social reality, this is what Evan had to do s Choice.

    Duke Wilson was a little curious about why old Bruce gave up so easily, but Evan knew very well that old Bruce probably would not give up the Bruce family manor easily, but he did not have it here. In order to hope, it is natural to find another method. As for what this method is, Evan is reluctant to guess, because he is very clear that it will be a very ugly process.

    Evan returned to his long-lost hut, and almost immediately, he was overwhelmed by mountain-like prayers and officiating speeches, almost every pastor of Delan Lier will have such Tests, so the prayers piled up every year are also a very considerable number.

    Evan looked at these old almanacs with some headache, and wanted to refuse, but looking at Mrs. Sanders’ serious face, he consciously swallowed what he wanted to say. The matter is also a big deal for him. After all, this kind of thing is about religion, and the bishop also attaches great importance to it.

    Evan complained in his heart, but he had to immerse himself in this vast ocean, but he ignored a newspaper placed in his hand, and a small piece of paper was sewn in the newspaper The local, simply reported the bankruptcy of a woman in the West End of London. This news is so common. In London, where the rich and powerful are full, this kind of thing is like a drop of water in the sea, quickly disappearing into the depths of the sea, and a trace of turbulence is gone. Did not bring it up.

    **

    Elysa protected her exposed belly, looking at the dirty and muddy road in front of her, and the numb and ragged people on both sides of the road, the stench that came from her made her a little nauseated.

    Before she came to this place, she despised this place so much, in her mind, this place was **** on earth, all the villains and tramps and gypsies in London, almost all Gather in this place.

    She never imagined that she would end up in this place one day.

    Elisa was held in Mel’s palm for too long, so long that she forgot that the money would run out.

    Full of discomfort, she turned down the simple little house that Mel rented for him, rejected an honest and honest housekeeper that Mel arranged for him, and returned Mei Er gave her the bank manager that she had arranged for a long time.

    Instead, she rented the most luxurious high-end apartment in the West End, hired expensive senior housekeepers, and bank managers of big banks used by nobles.

    And then in a shipwreck, she lost most of her investment, and the nobles who encouraged her to invest are still high-ranking nobles, but she lost all her property and was swept out by the landlord , the housekeeper resigned and left, and the polite bank manager also politely announced her bankruptcy.

    From this moment on, the people who played her friend role at the reception no longer knew her, she had no money except a little jewel left, and now, she She could only come to the East End of London, because she couldn’t afford any hotels except here.

    Eliza finally stepped into this sinful place after hesitating for a moment.

    Elysa was wearing silk clothes, the hat hill was full of lace, and the diamond ring on her hand did not fall off.

    As soon as she walked into the East District, she almost got everyone’s attention.

    But Eliza did not have such self-awareness. Her long life as a nun made her unable to endure self-restraint in any situation. All her vanity was accumulated at that time. Today, it is completely Erupted.

    Elysa didn’t know how to find a house in this place, she just simply thought that when she came to this place, there would be a lot of people, begging her to rent a house, She seemed to have forgotten the humiliation at the train station, and the contempt in her heart almost came out of the corner of her eyes.

    But unfortunately, no one paid her attention when she walked from the street to the end of the street. They just stared at her with strange eyes, but did not mean to say hello.

    Eliza endured the stench on the tip of her nose and wanted to take the initiative to ask, but at this moment, she suddenly saw the woman she had seen at the train station, her voice resounding in the sky and sturdy body, very conspicuous in the crowd.

    Elysa just hesitated for a moment, then immediately chased after her.

    **

    Evan changed into the priest’s robe, and he felt a little nervous. This is really unusual, and Evan even felt that his palms were sweating.

    This is really ridiculous, Evan told himself, he was just speaking in front of people, and he was so nervous that it was unnecessary.

    Just when Evan was fidgeting in the waiting room, suddenly the door of the room was pushed open, Evan looked back, but found that it was Edward, he was struggling Pushing open the door and walking in, the moment he saw Evan, he ran over with a smile.

    Evan leaned over and hugged him, and the nervousness just now finally dissipated.

    “Why are you here?” Evan asked softly, “Where’s the duke?”

    Little Edward crawled on Evan’s neck, wrinkled his nose and said, “I haven’t seen you for a long time outside, so I’m here to find you, my father is still waiting outside.”

    Evan was amused by his milky voice, but with a serious look, he couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, and whispered: “I’m going out soon, you Obediently go outside and wait, okay, if you run out in private, the Duke will be worried.”

    Edward pouted, and finally agreed reluctantly.

    Evan put him down, watched him approach the private room where the duke was, and then went back. After being disturbed like this, he suddenly found that his original nervous mood was much better .

    Evan couldn’t help laughing when he saw the words of prayer and host in his hand.

    **

    Elysa leaned against the wall with one hand, feeling a little anxious.

    She just came out to buy some bread, but when she got home, she found someone following her. It’s too bad that such a thing has happened now, Eliza was in a panic, she didn’t know how to deal with it, she could only quickly run towards her place, but at this time, her stomach The child in the house became angry and began to suffer severe pain.

    Eliza was afraid of hurting the fetus, so she didn’t dare to do any strenuous exercise, she could only walk slowly against the wall, but after this, the group of people was getting closer and closer to her .

    Elysa’s heart is full of despair, she doesn’t know why she is so miserable, and she has fallen to this point.

      On the side of her neck, Eliza couldn’t say anything.

    “Hand over all your money!” The man’s expression was like a wolf in the night, sharp and cold, and his low voice made Eliza tremble.

    “Please…” She looked at that person with a desolate expression, this was the only money she had to survive, and if all this was lost, then she really didn’t know how to survive.

    Unfortunately, that person did not have the heart of Mel’s pity, he just sneered, but the blade got closer to Eliza’s neck: “Hand over it! If you don’t want to die!”

    Elysa was so frightened by his savage tone that she could not stand still, she knew that this person was telling the truth.

    Elysa trembled and wanted to take out her wallet, but at this moment, she suddenly saw someone wearing police clothes walking by outside the alley, Eliza There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and I said loudly: “Police! Please help me…”

    Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill in her lower abdomen, Eliza looked at the unwavering indifference in horror, and followed the dirty wall in disbelief Slipped and sat down.

    The blood stained her silk dress red, and it merged into a stream on the muddy ground.

    She was speechless.

      , did not come in.

    Elysa seemed to hear a cheerful singing in her ear, mixed with the low voice of gypsies, which made her a little dazed for a while, she looked up, and the moonlight seemed to be unusually bright tonight.

    It’s Christmas!

    She thought like this, life slowly flowed from her body, and in the end she could hardly open her eyes, but she seemed to see Mel’s gentle smile in a trance, she stretched out She went out and tried to catch him, but a piece of coldness fell on her palm.

    It was snow. Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely thought that the first time she saw Mel, it was snowing.

    Elysa fell on the dirty floor of the alley, the mud spread over her white skin, she lay there, no one came to rescue her.

    **

    When Evan came out of the town assembly hall, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, he raised his head and looked at the sky, the silver brilliance of the moon, soft and bright, with white elves in the sky drift.

    It’s snowing.

    He couldn’t help laughing, it looked like a perfect Christmas this year.

    Little Edward ran out of the hall and charged straight towards Evan, with an innocent smile on his face, completely undisguised love and joy.

    Evan couldn’t help but look behind him, Duke Wilson in a black suit, standing at the door of the hall, light and darkness intersected on him, his expression was reserved and indifferent, When Evan looked over, he showed a smile, but it was gentle and heartbreaking.

    Evan hugged Edward, who rushed over, and walked towards the duke who was standing alone at the door.

    From now on, he is finally not alone.

Before we choose, we don’t know whether our choice is right or not. Wrong, but we can know whether our every choice is worthy of our hearts.
