Chapter 96

Leo hid the medicine in his pocket and brought it home.

Charlie happened to be sitting in the living room watching TV. When he saw Leo come back, he casually asked, “Where did you go? It’s so late.”

Charlie meant nothing by his question, but Leo immediately jumped up since he had a guilty conscience.

“What are you doing?” Penelope looked at Leo in confusion and said, “Your grandfather is talking to you!”

“Nothing! I, I just went out for a walk,” Leo replied, forcing himself to stay calm.

Though Penelope felt that her son was a little strange today, she didn’t think too much

about it.

With the intention of pleasing Charlie, Penelope said, “Now that you’ve come back, you can watch TV with your grandfather. Ben and Susan are so busy with work that they haven’t come home yet even though it’s late. Only the two of us can spend more time keeping your grandfather company.”

Penelope had originally planned to make Leo get closer to Charlie.

In the past, Leo would have probably listened to his mother.

Today, however, since he felt guilty, he only said with an awkward smile, “Grandpa, Mom, I still have something to do, so I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Hey, why are you…” Penelope shouted anxiously.

Charlie glanced at Penelope and said lightly, “You don’t have to force the kid.”

“Grandpa, I’ll keep you company tomorrow!” Leo said as he fled upstairs.

Charlie didn’t mind it, so he only cast a glance at Leo before looking away.

He thought he was already an old man, and the children all had their own lives, so he

couldn’t let them be tied to the house with him all the time.

Penelope hurriedly explained, “Dad, Leo loves you the most. I believe he didn’t do it on purpose just now. Most likely, he does have something very important to deal with.”

Charlie waved his hand, implying that he didn’t mind.

Penelope fell silent, but she still secretly felt that Leo had just behaved badly.

After staying with Charlie for a while, she excused herself and went to Leo’s room.

As she pushed the door open, Leo cried out in horror, “Who is it?”

He instinctively covered what was on the table with his hand.

Seeing that it was Penelope, his face slightly relaxed, but he kept his hand on the table.

Penelope gave him a suspicious look before she closed the door.

“What are you covering with your hand? Show me!” Penelope walked over.

“Mom, it’s nothing, it’s nothing,” replied Leo in a panic.

The more he acted like this, the more Penelope was curious about what he was covering. “Take your hand away! I’m your mother. What do you need to hide from me?”

Leo hesitated.

Penelope took the advantage of it and moved his hand away.
