Just as Ariana Thorne and Marcus Morgan both thought this would be a touching "father-son reunion," Marcus heard an unexpected cry, "Ah!"
Ariana Thorne immediately crouched down to check the situation. At first glance, she didn't know what to do.
Max Morgan was hugging Marcus's neck, and bit him hard on the face.
This...
Ariana Thorne was at a loss whether to remind Max not to bite Marcus's sweaty face or to tell Marcus not to be angry and move around recklessly lest his face gets hurt.
Max just likes him too much, hence the biting... Marcus might or might not believe this explanation.
"Max, let go, don't bite Daddy." Ariana wanted to pull Max back, fearing Marcus might get angry and take it out on the child.
If he ended up disliking Max because of this, wouldn't Max follow in Joyce's footsteps?
Who would've thought, after his initial "Ah," Marcus made no further sounds and instead lifted Max with both hands.
