Chapter 127
"I cannot promise you that I will save. I have plenty of money at home," Zayne replied. "Would you like to guard my money?"
"Again, that is pointless," Rose answered, knowing when she was facing a losing battle. "If you wanted to get your money, you would push me to the side. You should learn to be responsible without someone having to guard your money."
After a small pause, Rose said, "I am curious about your life and where you came from. Do you have a family waiting for you? Mary said that many of the soldiers have families waiting for them. Wives and children, yet they court others during their travels."
"Are you accusing me of being a cheating bastard?" Zayne questioned, amused by where this was going. When did he ever give off the feeling he had that kind of family in his life?
"N-No," Rose stuttered, worried she angered him. "I went too far. I was only trying to speak of your parents or siblings. I do not think you are married. I hope you are not married."
Then his confession would mean that she had to leave this room. Leave this camp.
Rose didn’t want to be one of the women beaten by wives because their husbands liked to sleep outside. Zayne was far from home so that couldn’t happen but still, Rose wanted to be safe.
Zayne’s laughter filled the quiet room, surprised by Rose’s belief.
"Does it not happen? I wasn’t accusing you," Rose bit her lip. She had seen for herself some of the soldiers enjoying themselves a little too much. It was hard to tell who was married since none of them wore rings.
