The scene reminded Aiden a lot of the similar scene years ago when Aiden stood opposite of his father and two strangers that he brought home not long after Aiden's mother's passing.
Outsiders often bemoaned the fact that Aiden alienated himself from his family, while the truth was that Aiden became a stranger to the family the moment Cheryl and Alain Adams crossed the threshold of the Matthews house.
It did not take long for Jack to admit to the public that Alain was his biological child, conceived out of wedlock while he was still legally married to his wife.
Society was very forgiving toward a recent widower although he had betrayed his wife long before said wife entered her grave. Everyone showed their understanding even their blessing on this new family that sprouted out of the shipwreck that used to be Aiden's family. Everyone but one person.
