Carlos’s reluctance
Carlos, however, was reluctant to accept help. “I got myself into this mess, I should get myself out,” he said stubbornly.
Maria nudged him, saying, “We need to accept the help, Carlos.” Alex and Kelly insisted, “We’re family; we’ll get through this together.”
After much persuasion, Carlos finally agreed to meet with the financial advisor. “I just hope this works,”
he muttered, still feeling the heavy weight of his actions. The family braced for the next steps.
