Was Rowman surprised to see that William had not come alone?
Not at all.
He had already heard how inseparable the young man was from his lover.
When Rowman took interest in someone, he investigated thoroughly. He preferred knowing how a person would react under pressure, what choices they would make when cornered. Nothing was left to guesswork.
He even knew what had transpired at the church between the High Priest and the exchange student, Brutus. William had not hesitated for a second before thrashing the transfer student when Emma was involved. That alone spoke volumes about their bond.
And the attachment clearly was not one-sided.
Emma had never revealed to others that she was the sole heiress of East Wind, yet she had recently brought the junior Delimore into her own home.
That level of trust was not given lightly.
