Marcus wished he could blame all this on his father, who never married his mother and decided not to claim him as his son. But that was not possible when somebody else was to blame.

"You see, my mother had a relationship with my father. A long time before Haley's father married her mom, back in the days." He narrated what he could remember of the story.
