The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 405 Expelled from the Ward Family

"Grandpa! Luna didn't mean what she said. She was just anxious and blurted it out. She'd never think of leaving the Ward family. She's still young. Please don't take it to heart."

Leo looked at Alice, who was pleading earnestly for Luna. He knew she genuinely cared for Luna.

But whether Luna would appreciate this kindness was another matter.

Leo was old and had seen more in his lifetime than the two of them combined. He could tell at a glance that Luna was defiant and just scared, trying to escape the situation.

"Alice!" Leo interrupted.

His face was dark and intimidating. Alice could tell with one look that Leo was truly angry.

Luna didn't dare to speak anymore, and the entire living room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

"You're still defending her! Let her go! I do not have a granddaughter like her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luna's sobs grew louder, and she ran off, disappearing from sight.

Alice, worried, wanted to go after her, but Leo called her back.

A servant seized the moment to bring a glass of water.

The two calmed their emotions, each sitting on the couch in silence for a while before speaking.

"After what happened with your aunt a few days ago, my health hasn't been great. It's thanks to you that this family is being taken care of, including that unruly Luna."

Leo's dissatisfaction with Luna was evident in his words.

"Grandpa, we're family. Families are supposed to look out for each other. There's no need to be so formal." After speaking, Alice thought of Luna again.

She couldn't help but plead once more. "Grandpa, I don't think Luna did it on purpose. You know, she's the youngest and has been spoiled by Dad..."

Before Alice could finish, Leo interrupted again. "That's no excuse for her behavior!"

"Alice, I know you're soft-hearted and want to plead for Luna. But if we keep indulging her like this, it will only spoil her further."
