Chapter 303: Conversation Between Father and Son 1
Although the person approaching his place was already covered in a black robe, Aldrian easily recognized his father. To be honest, he was quite surprised that the visitor was his father himself. Initially, he had thought he would meet one of the family’s elders, but to think it was his father instead.
After pondering for a moment, he concluded that his father might have come personally to demonstrate how seriously the Flamecrest family considered this matter.
He saw his father walking toward the restaurant and approaching one of the staff members, who seemed visibly shocked by his father’s arrival. Normally, the restaurant’s policy prohibited divulging customer information in private rooms, but it appeared the staff member had informed his father about his room’s information when asked.
It was understandable—Flamecrest was the true ruler here, and the staff must have been terrified to refuse the young master’s request. Aldrian then watched as his father and the staff member walked toward his room, stopping in front of his door.
Although Aldrian appeared calm, inwardly he felt nervous. This was the first time he would meet his father face-to-face after leaving the secret realm. He wasn’t sure if his father would recognize him, especially since he had taken great care not to show any signs that he was Aldrian.
Not long after, the staff knocked on his door, and with a wave of his hand, Aldrian opened it from where he was seated. His father finally saw him, just as Aldrian also looked directly at his father. Their eyes met—red against blue. There was no discernible expression in Aldrian’s eyes, while Aldrey’s face reflected a hint of curiosity.
"Why do his eyes remind me of Irene?" Aldrey thought, though he quickly dismissed the notion and stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the staff to avoid any misunderstanding.
"My apologies if I disturbed your time with my sudden visit, but may I have a moment of your time to talk?" Aldrey said.
"What an honor it is for me to receive a visit from the young master of the Flamecrest family. Of course, young master, we can talk for as long as you wish," Aldrian replied.
Aldrey nodded and gestured for the restaurant staff to leave before entering the room and sitting across from Aldrian. Once seated, he didn’t speak immediately but instead began to observe Aldrian carefully. His expression shifted into a frown as he studied the young man before him more intently, sensing something peculiar.
"Why does he feel so familiar? Is it because of his eyes that resemble Irene’s? No, there’s something else about this man," Aldrey thought.
