It turned out Damon knew about Nick and Jones's collaboration all along.
"So, are you busy dealing with both of them now?" I asked.
"Yeah, and there are other company matters to handle, too. I can't leave Leo with Catherine, which is why I turned to you." Damon seemed to have made up his mind to let Catherine go, but. he wanted to keep the kid.
If I were in his shoes, I would never accept someone else taking my child. But Catherine's actions were indeed horrifying. She was so fixated on Damon that she treated her own child like a mere tool.
"The problem is, I can't help you, Damon." I declined him once again. Leo was very resistant towards me. Even if I pitied him for having an irresponsible mother, I just couldn't take care of him.
If I had the time, I'd rather take care of Serena and Brandon myself.
