"Mommy taught us to be a good person. If Bad Daddy has changed, why don't we give him a chance to be a good person?"
"If we treat him well, he'll treat us well. If we treat him badly, he'll do the same to us. Why don't we be kinder to him and have one more person that treats us well?"
Abby spoke her mind with reason.
She had always been Adie's number-one fan and most loyal supporter.
Joanna laughed and joked that Abby would always be undoubtedly supportive of Adie. She did not expect them to quarrel over Ace.
"Uh, hey… You two…"
Joanna listened as the little ones quarreled. She turned to Adie and then to Abby, feeling a little at a loss. It was the first time she had encountered such a scene.
"Abby, your thoughts are problematic. A bad guy will always be a bad guy. He'll never become a good person. We'll hurt ourselves by being kind to the bad guys!"
