Mark faced a tumultuous relationship with his daughter, Alice, after discovering she wasn’t biologically his. Despite his love and efforts to mend their bond, Alice resented him for hiding the truth. Despite his attempts to reconcile, Alice remained distant, accusing him of pretending to be a fatherly figure.

When Alice reached out, requesting Mark to walk her down the aisle, he refused, feeling her request lacked sincerity and remorse for their fractured relationship. Mark believed attending the wedding without addressing their issues would enable Alice’s behavior and prevent any chance of reconciliation. Despite criticism from others, Mark stood firm in his decision, hoping Alice would understand the importance of genuine remorse and appreciation for familial bonds.
