Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 166
The cheerful atmosphere is momentarily saddened by Claire’s words.
Luke’s smile stiffens at the corner of his mouth. He leans against the sofa unnaturally and thinks for a moment before he says slowly, “I will do my best to help you find your son. But will you leave after you find him?”
“...”
Claire suddenly looks up. There is a determined light in her eyes. She says solemnly, “Yes, I’ll leave America after I find my son. It’s impossible for me to meet Leo again!”
“You have met him now. You are his secretary!” Luke looks Claire in the eye and lets her see the situation.
“It’s only temporary. As long as I find my son, I will leave sooner or later!” Claire says firmly, and then she pleads with Luke again, “Luke, please help me find Conan. I’m worried about him!”
“...”
This time Luke is silent. He ponders for a long time and turns to Claire and says seriously, “don’t worry. I will help you find your son!”
“Thank you, Luke!” Claire nods and smiles gratefully. In her heart, Luke is still the good friend who is always good to her and helps her as much as possible.
Fortunately, Luke doesn’t like her, or she will be troubled. Friendship is the most reliable relationship.
But this time Claire is wrong. She didn’t expect Luke, who has been supporting her, to start lying to her.
Luke doesn’t say Conan is in his house to prevent this. Because Conan told him Claire would come back to find her son.
So Luke has an idea. What if Claire finds her son and takes him away and never comes back?
His choice proves to be right. As long as he conceals the fact that Conan is in his house, Claire will stay in the United States for another day.
Luke thinks helplessly, Leo, I can only help you keep Claire in this way. It’s up to you to make up in the end.
Then they talk about Claire’s life in France. It’s getting dark.
Luke looks at his watch and suggests, “I haven’t seen you for six years. Let’s go out for dinner and celebrate.”
Claire nods and smiles, “OK, let’s go.”
When Claire picks up her bag and stands up, Luke suddenly stops her, “wait! Are you going out dressed like this? People will think I’m dating my mom!”
Hearing this, Claire looks down at her dress and moves her mouth awkwardly.
“Wait a minute. I’ll get dressed.” Claire says helplessly and turns to the room.
Since they are going out for dinner, she can’t disgrace her old friend.

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....
