Chapter 44 A Sinner Shall Pay

Forrest's POV

WHEN I turned around, It was Alan, and I wanted to roll my eyes.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it? Milady, young master."

"Young master my arse. How old am I?"

"Good to know that you got your humor back. When I was at your age, I was still fighting bandits in the middle of the wilderness." He walked back inside the ballroom hall.

"I don't know what to do if it wasn't for Alan, Mama. I wasn't that affected when Papa left after what he did to us, but I thought I lost half of my soul when Father died. You are the only person left to keep me from living, then Alan came to my life. He became so important to me. He'd been there for me for the past years. I lived a life as normal as possible knowing that you were safe and sound, and Alan was there to guide me. I owe him my life, Mama." I stood up from my seat and moved to kiss her on her forehead. "I love you so much."
