AFTER Astrid ended his call with Reas, his jumbled mind had now become clearer. With the help of his brother's logical reasoning, all the worry he felt just vanished. Maybe because he was there when it all happened, that's why he wasn't able to think straight like he normally would. And his first reaction was to worry and panic.
But just like what Reas had said, there's no need for him to feel that way. Because even if the duke found out the truth, there's nothing he could do about it.
For one, he wouldn't be able to announce it to the world. If he did, then people would know that Emmaline Grimaldi, who was presumed dead, was actually alive. Not only that, she also married a 'wanted' man and had kids with him. And two, he had no right to meddle in the twins' lives just because he was their biological grandfather. Not just because he was an ass to their mother, but from a legal perspective, he really didn't have that right.
