With that, Leo looks at Claire.
Leo’s eyes make Claire shiver. Is he teasing her?
He is shameless! He has a fiancee but he flirts with another woman!
She snorts and says scornfully, “I don’t need you to worry. I like what I am now. I don’t need to dress up.”
“Oh? Is there a woman in the world who doesn’t want to be beautiful?” Leo chuckles and obviously doesn’t believe Claire.
“Everyone has their own preferences. Sir, you should understand that.” Claire sneers at him.
Leo can hear Claire taunting him, but he doesn’t care. He raises his eyebrows and says with a smile, “Angie, you’ve always been against me and dressed so ugly on purpose. Don’t you just want to attract me? I tell you frankly today that you are honored to have successfully attracted my attention.”
“...”
Claire’s mouth twitches a little. He is insane. He is so narcissistic.
It has to be said that Claire now knows that Leo is narcissistic. He is liked by many women, so he subconsciously thinks that all the women close to him like him.
At the same time, Claire makes a conclusion in her heart. Leo must have been stupid because of the accident.
Claire doesn’t answer and sits back in the chair. She says coldly, “I seriously tell you that I am a mother with a child. I’m sure I won’t like a Sir like you. How do you think of me is your business. Now I have to work. Sir, please come back.”
Leo squints. Claire’s behavior has aroused his strong desire for possession and control. So before she turns around, he bends down quickly and holds her chin again with his big hand and kisses her.
Leo relishes Claire’s sweetness with satisfaction. He lets her go and says, “I don’t care what you think. I want you to remember that as long as you are my secretary, you belong to me. I don’t allow you to talk to me coldly.”
With that, he turns and enters the office without looking at Claire.
“...”
Claire stares angrily at Leo’s back. What’s he doing? Why doesn’t she know Leo is so naive?
It’s really pissed her off!
Claire wipes the part that Leo just kissed and thinks angrily.

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....
