Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 378 [Bonus Chapter] I Will Marry(Chapter Preview)

His eyes turned razor sharp at the thought of this. The wish to strangle her to death filled his mind as his hands clenched into a fist!

No! He needed her to find the duchess. Once he would be sure that Evangeline is safe, then he would take action against her or who knows what this crazy woman would do!

Each step felt so heavy and the small path looked so long to hear that silence was biting him.

After walking for a long time in the dark, the bright light suddenly filled the entire room and it took him a few seconds to adjust to it!

He blinked his eyes a few times and then finally opened them and looked around with vigilance. His teeth gnashed when he realized that the place was decorated like the marriage hall.

Though the decoration was minimal, even a blind could notice the arrangement!

"You have planned all this in advance! Haven't you?" the girl chuckled softly but sarcasm was clear in her voice.

"Of course, I have given my whole night to prepare for it! But I was not alone, Leo was with me the whole time here. He had personally arranged the flowers and brought the sweets box.

I told him that it was not necessary, we only needed a priest! But he was adamant, telling me that marriage is a very important day and it should at least have a few memories!"  her mocking voice was so dentist that he felt nauseous looking at her dreamy face!

Why had he never realized that she could be this vicious but why in the world had Leo helped him! No! It could not be!

"You are lying! My master would never do that!" she chuckled and shook her head as if she was taking pity on his naivety.

With a sorry look in her eyes, she pointed at distance as she walked closer to him,

"If that is the case, then what is he doing now?" Arden turned to look at the direction she was pointing at and was stunned to see Leo arranging the flowers on the stage and a priest was already sitting on the sofa with a smile.

He was so shocked that his whole body froze. His lips parted but not a single word came out!

What was the situation? Even if she had blackmailed his master to marry her somehow!

After knowing that she had kidnapped Evangeline, there was no way he would have actively taken part in it!

He would have beaten her or slapped her and then just stood there like a statue during the procedure or had kidnapped her and asked for Evangeline instead!

But right now.. Did he just have a wry smile on his face as if he was a mistake? What was happening!

Looking at his flabbergasted look, Olivia only felt cold. Though she was wrong, she had never done anything wrong with him.

Yet he was so suspicious about her and instead of asking her the truth, he blamed her from the start. In his heart, she was already responsible for everything that happened! And here she had thought, she had found a person who would love her unconditionally!

What a fool she was! She bit her lips as an aggrieved look filled her face when she remembered all of his allegations.

"Master, what are you doing here!" he did no want to waste his time in foolish conversation with her or else he was sure he would be aggrieved to death by him,

He would rather know the truth and help his master in finding his wife back!

Leo, who was busy in setting up everything meticulously, was stunned when he saw Arden coming towards him.

He passed one chilly look towards Olivia who turned her head away and then pinched the space between his brows.

"If you keep bringing others here, how would this marriage be a secret one?" he was lamenting over the fact that his partner was Olivia!

Though he sounded aggrieved, he was not accusing anyone.

"Ha! Ask him, he cried like a kid and even kneeled in front of me to bring him here! If i would not have brought him here, he would not have let me come too!" she looked adamantly at both men, her whole face is shrieking that it was their mistake not hers!

"It is not that I do not trust him. But if Eli and Even come to know that they were not invited to the marriage, while Arden was there, they would kill me later.

You do not know how sisters could be!" he sighed loudly and then started to work again as if nothing had happened.

But when he noticed that Arden was still standing like a statue and staring at them, he frowned!

"Your master is working, yet you are standing like a fool! Go and bring the petals. You will sprinkle them on us when we get our vows!"

"Get your what? Master if you are getting blackmailed, you do not need to listen to her. I will not let you marry even if i have to use force and take you away!" but before he could speak further Olivia started laughing as if she had heard a great joke.

Her mocking laugh and face filled with hatred was so strong, yet Arden ignored her and stared at his master. He just needed the command and he was ready to attack the Grasitias family even if it would cost him his life or his title as a noble!

He would not let Olivia marry Leo, though he still did not understand why his master was so active about the preparation of a forceful marriage.

As if coming back to his senses by hearing her laughter, Leo blinked and then glared at Arden!

"What nonsense are you spouting! I will marry now and here even if I have to burn the whole empire including you!"
