I knew communication wouldn't solve shit. Like no matter what MC says, ML would find a way to try and avoid the topic. Even if MC didn't believe ML's father, he already suspected that ML was withholding information and so it wouldn't be surprising if other shady things happened too. Ultimately, it seems that ML will do anything to maintain control, so no matter how much MC wants to talk, he'll avoid reveling too much information to maintain dominance. Also, MC is being isolated, he has no on he can trust and after the sister made it clear she is on her brother’s side, he doesn't even have ppl with neutral alliances near him. He's on his own and all he wants is to protect his son, which may mean relying on ML's father, who although is shady, is powerful enough to stop ML and get MC and his son away. But who knows ╮(￣▽￣)╭
