263 A nightmare

Alan doubted Saira and asked, "Was she drunk on that day?"

Rowan tried to remember but shook his head, "I don't remember seeing her. She always sat in corners and watched us. And I was already married at that time and Amelia never allowed me to drink more other than in the home so I had returned a little sooner to home with her once Oliver left."

He remembered Aria and asked in a panic, "Does Aria know this?"

Alan rubbed his forehead as he spoke, "There are many things to resolve and everything becoming a heavy mess. Aria isn't ready to believe her father could do all this."

Rowan sighed in resignation, "Actually that was the only time he was drunk and he repented it. At least I had gone through many arranged dates but he was a one-woman man, once he chose Sister in law, he wanted nobody other than her. It's hard to believe that past and I can understand it is difficult for Aria. That child… she is going through a lot one after the other."
