Guidebook for the Dark Duke

CH 89

Hey guys. So I’m going to upload a few chapters at the same time today. Enjoy!!!

The Duke of Rand was quickly sent away from London but Prince George’s benevolent behavior spread throughout London immediately. The citizens of London praised Prince George’s kindness and tolerance and he was on the way from being the crown prince to becoming the king. As a result, he did not encounter any obstacles, because with his current popularity, no one can stop him.

On the day Prince George was crowned, Evan was also invited. He stood in the first row of Westminster Abbey with Duke Wilson. Perhaps this is a bit uncommon for his identity, but Duke Wilson was there and no one dared to question it.

Evan watched the archbishop crowning Prince George and watched Prince George standing on the high platform to accept the obeisance of the people. For some reason, he felt a little excited. He has just witnessed history. This moment is just what he read in the book before, and now he can finally experience it in reality.

After Prince George’s coronation, they returned to Buckingham Palace and held a grand ball.

Prince George and his fiancée, a foreign princess, had a dance and then the people below also threw themselves into the dance. Some of them, although they did not stand firmly on Prince George’s side, but no one really took refuge with Rand, so these people enjoyed the glory bestowed upon them by King George with peace of mind. (Author wrote ‘Prince George’ but he’s already the king)

King George was sitting on the throne, looking at the people below, with a cold look in his eyes. Maybe he has stayed in the position of crown prince for so many years, which made these people think that they shouldn’t have any worries, but for now he’ll let them feel relaxed for a little longer.

Duke Wilson did not stay long at the ball. After Prince George finished the opening dance, he went up to greet him and left Buckingham Palace with Evan.

Evan actually doesn’t like this kind of occasion very much. Because of his status, he has always been incompatible with this kind of occasion, so he can breathe a sigh of relief by leaving earlier.

Evan and Duke Wilson went back to Duke Wilson’s villa in London in Duke Wilson’s carriage. The atmosphere in the carriage was very peaceful. Evan didn’t know what to say, but Duke Wilson kept looking at Evan with a gentle expression.

Evan felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

“You..” He finally said, “This time is really thanks to you.” Evan said in a stiff tone.

Duke Wilson still did not retract his gaze, but still looked straight at him and asked in a low voice, “What do you think about the previous incident?”

In such a life-threatening crisis, he suddenly realized that Evan had to be put under his wing, he really didn’t want what happened to them this time to happen again.

Evan was shocked by Duke Wilson’s directness and for a while, he didn’t know what to say.

“This matter.. I..” He gritted his teeth secretly. He really forgot about this matter, but he didn’t expect that Duke Wilson remembered it so clearly.

“Have you still not made a decision?” Duke Wilson’s expression became a little ambiguous. If Evan didn’t have any ideas about him, he would have rejected his words immediately he heard them, but after so long, there was still no response, which in itself must have shown his attitude.

“Since you haven’t decided yet, I won’t force you.” His tone suddenly became gentle, “Please rest assured, no matter what decision you make, I will not have any objections.” Looking at Evan tenderly, he chuckled in his heart. Since he didn’t refuse his favor now, does it mean that the day he accepts his feelings will come soon?

Evan didn’t know what he was thinking, but he sighed with relief. He was really afraid that Duke Wilson would want to get to the bottom of it. Although he had planned for a long time, now is not the time.

The two got along peacefully afterwards, and Duke Wilson kept asking Evan to say something, but Evan was not pretentious at this time and followed up with a few words.

When they finally returned to Duke Wilson’s villa, Butler Chris was waiting at the door early. Before they went to Lord Orlam’s villa for an adventure together, Butler Chris took little Edward to escape outside London secretly. Yesterday, they were picked up by Duke Wilson.

“Your Excellency the Duke.” He walked forward with a solemn expression, squinted at Evan from the corner of his eyes and said in a low voice, “Reverend Bruce’s letter has arrived.”

Evan’s expression changed, no one knew his address except Mrs Sanders and his father. The excuse he used to come to London this time was to attend his brother’s wedding, so when he came, he told his father where he lived.

Evan took the letter from Butler Chris and it was indeed from his father. Looking at it, Evan frowned involuntarily.

“When was this letter delivered?” He asked softly.

Butler Chris lowered his head slightly, “It was delivered early this morning, just after you and the Duke left.”

Evan nodded, opened the envelope and just read a line, his brows frowned .

Seeing this, Duke Wilson hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with you? Has something happened?”

Evan closed the letter with a hesitant expression.

“My brother’s wedding is three days from today and my father has invited me to it.”

The date of his brother’s wedding was actually stated in the last letter, but now his father sent another letter stating the date, which is really weird, as if he couldn’t wait, lest he forget. This is so rare in Evan’s life, because when he received his father’s letters before, it was not simply sending money, but also cold and almost exhorting. It was too much to take the trouble to tell him the date and place of the wedding, almost abnormal.

Duke Wilson didn’t understand his misgivings, and heaved a sigh of relief, “So it’s this, then you have to prepare well.”

Evan forced a smile and walked into the villa with Duke Wilson .

As soon as he entered, Edward rushed down from upstairs like a cannonball and shouted, “Evan! Evan! Look, this is a new toy my father bought for me. Is it good?”

Evan laughed, then he took him into his arms and took a closer look at the toy in his hand. It was a beautiful little train, the shell was studded with jewels and it looked very gorgeous.

“What a beautiful gift, you are such a lucky child.” Evan gently touched the top of his head and said warmly.

Edward blinked his beautiful big eyes, looked straight at Evan and generously stuffed his train into Evan’s hands, muttering, “If you like it, I will give this train to you. As long as I have it, I’ll give you whatever you like.”

Evan felt happy, he really didn’t waste his time and effort.

Duke Wilson stood aside and looked at them talking so harmoniously and smiled. The two people in front of him were the two people he cared about the most. Such a scene made him feel soft in his heart. It would be great if he could live like this all the time.

The three of them had a sumptuous dinner together. Edward seemed to be a little scared because of what happened that day and he has not gotten tired of being around Evan these days, eating with him. While eating, he also took care of Evan to eat, very careful while doing so.

After dinner, Edward was reluctantly taken upstairs by Butler Chris, while Evan sat in the living room with Duke Wilson and talked.

“Your father wants you to attend your brother’s wedding so urgently this time, is there anything he wants to tell you?” Duke Wilson knew something about Evan’s father’s attitude towards Evan before, so he was somewhat puzzled.

Evan took a sip of the sherry wine and said in a low voice, “I don’t know about this. This is the first time my father is so eagerly looking forward to my return home. Maybe there is something wrong with my brother.”

His father has only two sons, he and his elder brother. Although his elder brother was not considered a genius, he was still a very capable young man. His father has always valued him very much. On the contrary, no matter how smart Evan is, it can’t compare to the weight of the eldest son. His attitude has suddenly turned 180 degrees now. The only thing Evan can think about is this, unless there is really something wrong with his brother.

“Your brother?” Duke Wilson turned the cup in his hand thoughtfully. Maybe that’s it. Duke Wilson’s eyes flickered and his hand holding the cup tightened.

Sitting like this, he couldn’t think of any ins and outs. After drinking the wine in his glass, Evan said goodnight and went upstairs.

In the next few days, Evan made special preparations. He didn’t feel much before so he didn’t make special preparations for this matter, but this time his father was so serious and Evan didn’t want to really mess around. He couldn’t not dress up, so he went to the most practical tailor in London to order a suit and because of Duke Wilson, he greatly advanced the time for making the suit so that he could wear it on the wedding day.

The gifts for his brother and his new wife were a waste of his efforts. The things he had prepared before were obviously not good enough but Evan hadn’t experienced any sophistication in this world, so he didn’t know what to give. It was Duke Wilson who sorted that out for him.

The gift for his brother was a box of precious cigars. His brother is a cigar lover. This was deeply ingrained in the mind of the original Evan. He seemed to have a very unusual affection for his family. Even if no one cared about him, he still tried his best to properly place everything he learned in the deepest part of his memory, never forgetting it for a moment.

As for the newlywed wife, he chose a pair of diamond earrings in the jewelry store invested in by the Duke. In fact, at first Evan fell in love with the beautiful diamond necklace, but he couldn’t really accept Duke Wilson’s financial help because he was so shy, so he could only buy this. (Shy? Even can be shy? )

When they came out of the jewelry store, Duke Wilson was still a little awkward. He had already experienced Evan’s self-esteem but he still couldn’t hold back today, and of course Evan refused in the end. This result made him feel a little annoyed. Maybe he shouldn’t have spoken in the first place. Seeing Evan’s slightly serious side face, Duke Wilson didn’t know what to say.

In fact, Evan didn’t mind this at all. The question he was thinking about now was, when he arrived at his so-called home tomorrow, how should he deal with his father in name and this treacherous invitation, which made Evan have a headache.
