Sir.

Love of his life.

They should go get married right now. He’ll change his name. No one but Benjamin and their little family needs to know.

( . . . )

( They both are. )

Is that so? Well, he’d accept if he didn’t already have a place for them in mind.

( Today is not that day. )

He’s sorry. Come again?

He could care less.

No. He’s sick of ‘leaving it alone’.

( Benjamin, please. )

When has he ever told their parents a single thing, hm? He doesn’t tattle like Jackson so often does. That’s Jack’s only defense these days.

Disowned and disgraced? Right. That’s why they chose CORRICK to carry on the family name, right? That’s why he was named their heir. To carry on the bloodline, purely. Why would he not? Has Jackson seen her? She’s beautiful.

( No. )

Uh-huh. He can continue thinking that.

Well, hi.
