"Grandma's throwing a fit about bringing Leia to the mansion," Kieran said from the other end of the call.
Ronan paced near the window of the wooden house. "Leia can't go to the mansion. Lucien's staying nearby in the cottage. Her presence, especially as an omega, could affect him."
On the mattress, Leia suddenly sat upright, hearing her name. Her brows furrowed in confusion and concern.
"I already told her that," Kieran muttered. "But she's getting emotional, crying about our parents, saying it's what they would've wanted."
"Then tell her I'm the one who refused to let Leia come," Ronan said flatly. "Blame it on me. That should shut her down."
There was a pause on the line.
"You sure about this?" Kieran asked, hesitant.
"Yeah. Just say I said no. She'll stop whining once she hears my name," Ronan replied firmly.
Just then, Leia walked over to him. Without saying a word, she rose on her toes and leaned close to hear what was going on.
