Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"When have you supported me in my work except for the emergencies?

And when have you not seen love in our eyes!

If you still believe the words of others and get swayed so easily then it is her fault to love you so much!

Because I would definitely not accept that I have been greedy while loving you and taking care of you!"

"A.. aunt?" he did not know what to think about it! His aunt! She had always treated him so well as if he was the real owner of the palace!

She was the one who brought him here and…? He covered his head with both hands as he felt that all the nerves of his head would break apart!

His eyes started to blur and his head started to spin! He felt like he was falling into the abyss he could not come over with and was about to give up when he felt a pair of arms holding him!

He blinked his eyes a few times only to find that his father was already standing beside him and holding him like he used to hold him when he was a kid!

"This.."

"Now that I have replied to all of your questions, you should better behave yourself and take a rest or do you really want me to take out the stick again?" Though his words were cold and his voice were authoritative and full of anger, his eyes were so warm that Leo could feel his warmth engulfing him and the darkness that was shrouding him for so long dissipating slowly.

"Your.."

"If you called me your highness once again.. I assure you I will spank you in front of your wife!" William smacked his shoulders and glared at him with rage yet his expressions were so gentle that Leo shook his head!

"Yes, I apologize, father! I have been truly dumb!" he leaned further on the embrace of his father without caring about his age or image!

He did not know if he was being greedy too but he did not let go of the comfort he was feeling in the old arms of his father.

How long had it been that they stayed there quietly. As if their silence was talking to each other!

"Look at you! You are already twenty, yet you have spent your night in the laps of your father! Such a cry baby! Now wake up and leave, I want to sleep too!!" Although it was still in the middle of the night, his tired body was slowly giving up!

Leo gazed at his father whose eyes were looking heavy and his face was looking worn out!

"What about Evangeline! She had the right to know everything!" how in his greed, he even forgot about the girl who had been thinking that she was a commoner all this time while he was enjoying all the privileges that belong to her!

"Sigh!" an audible sigh was left by the man who took a deep breath as he did not know what to say! She was his daughter! Of course, he loved her too and wanted to tell her the truth!

But accepting the truth would only ruin the family! He took another sigh as he knew the hurricane he was trying to hide for long had already started to knock at his door!

William pinched the space between his brows but his eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions.

"I will talk to her soon! Let these two days pass and get married! I will explain it to her then!

She is already very stressed! I did not want to stress her anymore!"

"But father, what if she wanted to change her decision?" though he knew that she was not serious, yet the lingering doubts did not leave him completely!

William's eyes softened when he realized how worried Leo was for Evan, he knew that Leo would not hurt her and this unconditional love and trust had given him strength to truth and go on with life!

"I understand your worry, but she loves you too much to leave even if she is the heiress!

Do not think too much, I will handle the matter! You just have to spend time enjoying these two days or else you will regret later!" though he was assuring him, his eyes had a hint of hesitation too.

"But.." William shook his head and he pushed Leo away!

"I have trust in you and so on her! You both are my blood and hard work of lifetime so do not think too much!" This time his voice was more confident and Leo could only sigh and nod!

"Eve is preparing a bridal shower for Evangeline this evening! If you want to plan a bachelor party for yourself, go ahead!

And one more thing, if you meet the man again, kill him!

He did not have any good intentions towards you or her and I would not be surprised if he would try to kill any of you!" his eyes turned cold as he nodded!

He had felt that too! The man had vicious eyes and his whole aura was evil!

"Do not worry father, i will protect Evangeline!" he replied in a solemn voice when William chuckled and shook his head. His eyes filled with amusement as if he had heard a great joke that confused Leo who was expecting another pat on his shoulder.

"You do not need to worry about it! My daughter is strong enough to take care of herself. All I want is for both of you to have your happily ever after marriage!

But with the current look on your face, I am not sure if she would want to marry you anymore or not!"
