"With me around, she won't be able to take her away," Monica Baldwin stated confidently, "Firstly, your debt has been fully paid off. Moreover, you now have six figures in savings in your bank. Your financial situation is no longer an issue."
"Secondly, she has a precedent of abandoning Coco."
"Thirdly, the one who's facing a financial crisis now is her."
Hearing Monica's words, Mr. Davis felt more at ease, because the thought of Coco being taken away from him made life seem meaningless.
Monica looked at Mr. Davis. This man was honestly too kind, or perhaps too weak, unable to protect the ones most important to him. Life wasn't about taking a step back to embrace the vast world.
Monica actually had a more detailed plan, but seeing Mr. Davis in this state, she held back, thinking it'd be more appropriate if Meghan handled it. Just family conflicts and parental bitterness can affect a child's mental health. She hoped Coco would stay as strong as she was.
