them is using their daughter as a weapon. Sonny was fine with Ava prior to leaking the Natalia comments and learning she was the one who made the complaint about Alexis that played heavily into her disbarment.
That is when he kicked her out and he has been barring her from Avery out of spite. Natalia was on the money yesterday. Punishing Ava by keeping her away from Avery, also punishes their daughter who clearly wants to see her mother!
Whether or not Sonny is a big enough man to do the honorable thing for the child he claims to love, remains to be seen.
