Adrian tried his hardest to keep himself from fuming and baring his fangs in front of Grisham.

This is the second time they are meeting each other since his return. Now that he has his memories back, he can't help but fail to recognize him as someone related to him. He firmly refuses to accept this man as his grandfather - he is nothing but a cold-blooded demon in his eyes at this point.
