Basil listened to Irene's story about his father all the way to his mansion. He had known who had been his mother in his past life. However, the name had been all he got. He didn't know about her distinct features or whatsoever.
This time however, he could know quite a lot about his father as he had a living witness to tell him about it. Still, it was the best he could get. Simply by hearing stories or people's description can never make anyone to really know someone.
For that to happen, one needs to meet the one being told about. Basil asked Irene about his father's photograph, however the answer was as what he had expected. His father had none.
To be exact, there was no photograph could be found after his father's death. They had mysteriously disappeared right after his father had been declared dead. Both of his parents were clouded in mystery.
"What makes Nicholas keep me as his adopted son? He even registered me as his son."
