"Haley is what?" Two varying tones expressed the same question, making Gerald look at Dani and seek the newcomer.
He recognized the voice immediately, especially when he was the one who requested the man's presence when he called his sister.
He wanted him to hear what he had to say as well. After all, his plans and decisions would likely affect Haley and her family, that included the man who stood before him.
"Marcus, I am glad that you came." He greeted Haley's half-brother, who was a big part of Haley's life.
Based on her, Marcus was the person she could count on, more than her father. She respected and loved him, despite only sharing a connection through their father's blood.
Therefore, he needed to consider his opinion on their present predicament since their goal was the same. They both wanted to protect Haley.
"Should I be glad to see you?" Marcus could not contain the contempt in his voice as he faced the man that made his blood boil.
