Marcus pointed out, "You said it yourself that you were ‘about to’ meet her!"

That meant that they hadn't met yet at his age!

Unable to do anything about his son, Waylen sighed in defeat. "Okay, okay. Let's go downstairs for dinner. Alexis and Leonel just arrived, and Evelyn's also here!"

With that, he briskly stood up and headed downstairs, fully expecting his son to follow.

Marcus sat alone in the room for a moment longer, as though mourning a bygone era. Eventually, he stood up, but before he left, he plucked the bracelet out of the trash can and tossed it into a drawer.
