Well, I agree with you Bunkycat -- sort of
I think it's true that PA and NC would have a seriously strained interaction (expected, obviously...)
I also think it may be, for sure, related to what he said about feeling that he was 'trapped' by the mother into the situation (but he did walk right into it). Especially so after she went public to get his attention right after his father died --- I know she says she had good reason for doing all of that...
As for me, I like to believe he loves his son, regardless of what he thinks/feels about the mother.
Hopefully he is able to put that aside one day (might not be soon, but who knows). Based on his statement, his concern is only on the well being of the little boy (I guess). Seems the boy is not wanting for anything -- he owns a house, and has nannies, bodyguards, plenty of money too.
While it may not have been clear to Albert before (maybe), I guess he understand it by now that NC is a
very resourceful woman and quite capable when it comes to looking out for herself.
