Aiden was not sure what to answer.
"Oh my, Aiden, you have truly grown into a handsome young man!"
Cheryl Matthews approached Aiden with a bright smile. Ignoring Aiden's distrustful gaze, she patted the young man's upper arm affectionately.
"Don't you think so, Jack?"
Jack nodded.
"Certainly, certainly."
Whether it was certain or not, Aiden hated to say that Jack had paid for his years of upbringing. Then again he was not there to show himself to Jack just so that the man could pat himself on the back for a job well done.
Aiden did not say anything in response. His gaze swept over the three people, from one to the other, and then he spoke with a cool and even tone devoid of his true feelings for the three people.
"Nice to meet everyone again. Aunt Cheryl and Alain, can I have a minute with my father?"
