Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 153

Seeing Penelope and Leo leave happily, Charlie couldn’t help rubbing his slightly throbbing temples.

“Grandpa.” Ben pursed his lips. “Although we’re not staying together anymore, the two villas are quite close. Penelope can come here often.”

Charlie let out a long sigh.

He said, “I know, Ben. Penelope has done a lot of things behind my back over the years. Although I know a little, I always think that she can change one day, so I’ve been deceiving myself and trying to suppress the matter. I know that you have tolerated her for so many years for my sake.”

Charlie was a decisive man when he was young.

However, as one aged, it was inevitable that one would reminisce about the past and be a little more lenient on certain things.

Even if Penelope had done a lot of bad things, she had always been respectful to Charlie. She didn’t have her own social events and her clothes were very simple. She was also willing to accompany him to watch documentaries that young people hated the most.

In addition, although what Penelope had done was ridiculous, it couldn’t cause any real damage to Ben at all.

Therefore, although Charlie warned Penelope over and over again, he did not do anything specific in the end.

But now, Charlie realized that he was wrong.

He patted Ben gently on the back of his hand and said, “Ben, you don’t have to feel sorry. I should be the one feeling guilty. In the past, you would rather live in the company than go home. I scolded you many times because of this, but I didn’t think about it from your point of view. Every time you come home, someone will always be there, being sarcastic and mocking you. Although it won’t do you any substantial harm, can such a place still be regarded as your home?”

Charlie sighed and said, “I understood this only after Susan entered the family. Susan is a very good child, really. Penelope is always saying mean words, and insinuating things. You often don’t react. I thought that you shouldn’t be bothered to argue with her so I didn’t say much. But what about Susan? When Penelope says something strange, she must fight. back until Penelope is rendered speechless. Since then, you have been going home frequently. Because, in this family, there is finally someone who really protects you, right?”

“Grandpa…” Ben had a complicated expression on his face.

Susan hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I just like to quarrel, and I wasn’t protecting him. At that time, he was so scary to me. How could I be in the mood to protect him?”

Susan said that on purpose because she didn’t want Charlie to feel too guilty.

“Oh dear.” Charlie sighed. “At my age, what can’t I see through? In the past, I always thought that we were a family and that as time went by, no matter how big the conflict was, it would disappear one day. But I ignored the grievances Ben suffered in the process. Since I made a mistake, I have to correct it. The only thing I can do to make up for it is to split up the family today.”

Charlie glanced at Ben gently and said, “In my name, I will officially announce that the Landor family is divided into two branches. Your branch has nothing to do with Leo. No matter what the mother–son duo do in the future, it won’t have anything to do with you

anymore.”

Charlie had always been a reserved person.

But at this moment, he was looking at Ben with unconcealed love in his eyes.

Ben had always been the grandson he was proudest of.

Ben had mixed feelings.

He stepped forward and gently hugged the Charlie.

Charlie was stunned for a moment, and his eyes welled up with tears.

His grandson was very clingy to him when he was a child.

But how long had it been since Ben last hugged him like this after taking over Storm

Group?

Charlie patted Ben on the back and pretended to be stern. “Alright, you’re an adult now. Why are you still acting like a child?”

Ben laughed. “There’s nothing wrong with being a child.”

If it weren’t for the Charlie saving him back then, it was impossible for Ben to be like this.

For Ben, Charlie and Susan were probably the two most important people in his life.
