The returned Heir Zayn and Alastair sat down facing each other. Alastair looked around the room and there was no sign of Chauncey. He shrugged it off for later. “Tell me,” Zayn asked quietly. “To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? I’m assuming you’ve come to question me about your mother again.” “On the contrary, Father. I have come to relay my deepest apologies for how I behaved on our first reunion.” “Is that so?” Zayn leaned back, studying his son as silence settled between them.
