Under Dr. Hester’s almost scolding tone, Alia’s face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked at Dr. Hester in despair, and said with trembling lips, “Father… Father…”

A trace of reluctance flashed in Dr. Hester’s expression, but then he became determined. Alia was his only daughter. He knew better than anyone what she was thinking, but if it was anyone else it would be fine. But anything with the Duke wasn’t possible. He and Reverend Bruce…

Dr. Hester tried his best to expel this memory from his mind, and said in a stiff tone, “Alia, you go out first.”

Alia looked surprised. Looking at the somewhat ruthless man in front of her, she could hardly believe that this was still her talkative father.

Ashamed, she covered her face and ran out of the church. Her heart was full of contempt for herself. She was not an idiot and her father must have seen her thoughts, and he was extremely resolute in denying it.

Alia suddenly felt a little confused. She had always thought that her father would support her in all her decisions, but today, it seems that she is still wrong.

Alia sat sadly on a chair on the lawn behind the church. She looked at the brilliant flowers in the garden and remembered the first time she met the Duke.

He was so arrogant that he hardly glanced at her. She had always thought that Duke Wilson was just as arrogant as those other arrogant men, but since she began to follow her father in and out of Cornwall manor, she realized that the Duke is a learned and compassionate man, and… and he is so handsome… ()

When she thought of this, her face felt hot. She didn’t think she was a shallow person but Duke Wilson is definitely the most handsome man in Yorkshire and in the entire British Empire.

Arya had fallen deeply into her own thoughts and she didn’t even realize that someone had come to her side.

“Miss Alia?” Ford’s voice was low and soft. Alia suddenly woke up from her thoughts, and when she saw Ford, she couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed, “F…” Now, she almost didn’t know how to face Ford.

Ford looked at Alia with a soft smile, but there was a sneer in his heart. Such a person is the best to be manipulated.

“Miss Alia, please don’t be sad. I believe that Dr. Hester didn’t scold you on purpose. He is your father and the person who loves you the most in this world!”

Ford deliberately didn’t mention the tense atmosphere from just now and just gave pure consolation.

Alia breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Ford didn’t see much.

“I know, thank you for your comfort. You are really a kind gentleman.” Alia’s words were very sincere. After Ford came to Delanlier, she had always had a very good impression of him.

Seeing that Alia had lowered her guard, Ford smiled and sat beside Alia, saying warmly, “Doctor Hester just left, he asked me to tell you that you should go back early.”

“My father has left?” Alia got up from the chair anxiously, “Then…then I’ll also say goodbye…”

Before she could leave, she was grabbed by Ford’s hand and she turned to look at him. Looking at Alia, Ford said softly, “Please don’t worry, I made Dr. Hester leave first because I saw your hesitation. Miss Alia, God is above and if you see me as a friend, you can tell me whatever it is that bothers you.”

When Alia heard what Ford said, she sat back in the chair with some reluctance. She looked straight at Ford and whispered, “You already know?”

Ford smiled, “Your feelings are too hot, I’m sorry…”

Alia raised her hand to cover her eyes, and groaned, “Oh, my God…”

Ford looked at her and seeing her like this, he immediately said, “Miss Alia, please rest assured, this matter is your personal privacy and I won’t tell anyone else.”

Alia took her hand away from her eyes and her eyes were full of tears, “Mr Ford, you are a gentleman. In your opinion, am I a little shameless?”

Ford snorted coldly, but his eyes were full of gentleness, “How could it be? Miss Alia, love is the most beautiful thing in this world, you shouldn’t be ashamed.”

Alia clenched her fist a little excitedly and looked straight at Ford, “Mr Ford, you are really an enlightened person, but unfortunately my father doesn’t think so.” Alia lowered her head in annoyance and wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief.

Ford sighed, “Dr. Hester is a traditional gentleman, you should understand him.”

For the first time, Alia had an ally in this regard and in her heart, she felt that the relationship between them quickly became closer. (*snort* idiot)

“I know what you mean. I don’t mean to blame my father but his disapproval makes me very uncomfortable.”

Ford looked at Alia, who was sad, and he seemed to comfort her gently, “I understand the pain that you suffer, but I also want to persuade you on this matter. Although Duke Wilson is a noble person, as far as I know, he has a choice in his heart. I am afraid that your infatuation and feelings will not get anywhere.”

When Alia heard this, her expression suddenly became a little subtle. She looked at Ford and bit her lower lip as she asked, “I heard…you…you are familiar with Reverend Bruce?” Alia asked tentatively.

Ford was stunned by her question at first, and then he laughed in his heart. He really couldn’t underestimate a woman’s sixth sense when it comes to emotions.

“He is an alumnus of my public school, and I was familiar with him at first, but something happened later and I became estranged from him.” Ford’s words were very ambiguous and Alia’s eyes lit up immediately.

“Something happened?” She looked at Ford with some interest, “What did Reverend Bruce do?”

“You don’t need to know. As your friend, I want to warn you that Reverend Bruce is not a simple person. Please don’t contact him.”

The light in Alia’s eyes became brighter as she looked at Ford with surprise and murmured, “Don’t contact him…”

She looked straight at Ford with a hint of determination in her eyes, “You are a keen person so you should also see the ambiguous relationship between Duke Wilson and Reverend Bruce. Since you know that something is wrong with Reverend Bruce, we must tell Duke Wilson so that the Duke will no longer be deceived!”

Facing Alia’s rhetoric, Ford felt like he had a headache, this woman’s inherent stupidity and boldness is really a troublesome thing. (I agree with you for once, she’s really stupid)

“Miss Alia.” Ford said cautiously, “I can understand your mood, but the current Reverend Bruce is completely different from how he was when I knew him. The Duke will not believe your words.”

When Alia heard this, she felt a little discouraged, “You are right, Reverend Bruce is really a good actor. If you didn’t say it, even I would have no doubts about his gentleness and kindness.”

Ford looked at Alia and laughed in his heart. A woman’s imagination is boundless. If a situation is unclear, it can stimulate her imagination about what she doesn’t know. What’s more, this person is still her rival in love, so of course, she would only think of the worst.

“Miss Alia.” Ford’s voice had a hint of bewitching tone, “Nevertheless, you and Dr. Hester can enter and leave Duke Wilson’s Manor and you can subtly make Duke Wilson change his mind. I heard that Lord Edward likes you very much, maybe you can start from here.”

In Ford’s view, Duke Wilson’s biggest weakness is this son, this is his only bloodline, he can’t completely ignore the words of ​​this son. As long as Edward hates Bruce, Bruce can’t stay in Cornwall Manor. And as long as he leaves Cornwall Manor, his plan will be implemented much more smoothly.

Alia was a little frustrated after hearing this, “Oh…don’t you know? Lord Edward has a very friendly relationship with Reverend Bruce. This road won’t work.”

Ford just smiled when he heard this, “Lord Edward’s friendship with Reverend Bruce is just based on the fact that he is a priest. If Lord Edward knows what Duke Wilson has in mind for the Reverend, he will be aware that the Duke’s love for him is likely to be lessened in the future. And if he knows that Reverend Bruce is actually a despicable villain, will he still have a friendly relationship with Reverend Bruce?”

Arya has no such life experience, but as long as she thinks about Dr. Hester marrying a stepmother for herself, she thought she would not be able to stand it. Yes, she couldn’t accept it, let alone young Edward…

A light flashed in Alia’s eyes, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said excitedly, “You are right. Poor Edward. He has lost his mother since he was a child, he is so kind and simple and he must not be handed over to someone like Reverend Bruce.”

When it came to Reverend Bruce, disgust flashed in Alia’s eyes. Ford looked at her and sneered in his heart. What an upright and brave lady, even if Bruce did not know what he did, he was still positioned as a villain. Love is really a blind thing.

“Miss Alia, you are right. Lord Edward really deserves better people to love him, you must not let him be deceived.” Ford’s tone was low and hoarse, as if the ghosts from the depths of hell were lurking in it.

“Yes! Yes! Lord Edward must not be deceived!” Alia’s eyes gradually became unusually firm.
