Leo is taken aback because he never thinks about it.
If I do have a son, then...
Leo has just relaxed, and suddenly Luke makes him nervous again. Leo frowns, hesitating, “Luke, or ... how about you help me investigate?”
What? Help you investigate it?
Luke feels helpless. He is laying a lie. And is he going to explain that lie?
He doesn’t want to do that and he will deceive Leo which will make him distracted. So he refuses and says, “I have been working very busy lately. I do not have time to investigate it for you, and I can tell you, there is no such a woman. That is all, I will leave now!”
Then Luke turns to leave, and the next second the door is suddenly opened from the outside.
Claire comes in with a cup of coffee, and is taken aback when she finds a person standing behind the door. More importantly, this person is still an old friend she hasn’t seen in a long time...
Her hand with the coffee trembles a little because Claire is surprised. The man is Luke! ! !
Luke sees Claire, too. Claire’s deliberately ugly appearance makes him suddenly feel familiar, but in the impression, he has never contacted a woman who seems to be in her thirties.
Luke easily observes that Claire seems frightened. He says in doubt, “You... have I seen you before?”
Does Luke recognize her?!! But even Leo doesn’t recognize her.
Claire is surprised, because she always thinks she is disguising herself so well that she wouldn’t be discovered by anyone!
She is a little frightened, and Claire still couldn’t help lowering her head, and deliberately lowers her voice, “Sir, I’m sorry ... you may have recognized the wrong person. I come to work today, and I have never seen you before.”
No, her voice was also a little familiar.
Although Claire’s voice is deliberately lowered in an attempt to change a tone, Luke still remembers her voice, so he is becoming increasingly familiar to the woman.
Above all, why does she look so afraid of him?
This woman must be weird!
Luke makes a conclusion in his heart. He wants to say something, but is preempted by Leo behind him, “Luke, what are you doing here? She is a new secretary. Would you tell me you like this kind of Woman?”
Hearing Leo’s ridicule, Luke reluctantly defends, “No. I just feel she’s a little familiar.”
“Familiar? Is she your little lover before?” Leo smiles on his face, but still feels slightly unhappy. He doesn’t know why he is unhappy when he saw that Luke was attracted by his little secretary and he seemed to be very interested in the new secretary.
She is his secretary.
Leo decides to kick him out, “Don’t you say you have more work to do, and what are you doing here?”
Luke feels Leo’s discomfort and is so speechless that he could only give up his questioning of Claire and says helplessly, “Well, since Leo doesn’t want to see me, then I’ll leave here quickly.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
