"Boy, it's not your fault. My son will choose his own path of his own accord." Sam planted his palm on Adam's head and offered a kind smile. "And I will protect you both. Jaime will not harm you anymore, I won't let him."
Adam gazed at Sam blankly. I could not help but smile at seeing the young Lord's expression.
"I can't adopt you, but I will always be behind you, my lord. I know you will become a great Earl." Sam affirmed that touched my heart and Adam's. The corner of the young earl's eyes welled up as he bit his lower lip.
"Sir Roux...."
'Goodness, Sam... you truly had changed and I can't help but be mesmerized by you even more.' I shook my head lightly, proud of what my husband had become.
Sam used to address Claude, little crumb or a lot of names and even teased the young royalty like a child. To see him reassuring a child in such a gentle manner made him appear more like a father figure.
