Waylen, Marcus’ father, was enjoying a cigarette. Upon noticing Marcus’ return, he extinguished his cigarette and scoffed, “Look at how pathetic you are, coming home this early. Back in my day, | would never be home at this hour. It's embarrassing!” Meanwhile, Marcus casually loosened his tie.

Resting against the couch, he said in a cold voice, “I'd prefer not to fool around and have kids out of wedlock!" At this, Waylen sneered. “Oh, is that so? You prefer not to, or it is because you are useless?!" Disinterested in continuing the conversation with Marcus, Waylen got up and started to ascend the stairs. He paused and looked back to say, “You're in your thirties now.

However, the situation with Violette was different. Waylen was aware that Marcus didn't really care for her, which explained his scrutiny.

As Marcus fastened his cufflinks, he made his way downstairs at a leisurely pace.
