Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 169
Leo remembers when Luke and Angie first met, he said he seemed to have met her before. Do they really know each other before?
Luke is a little surprised. Then he smiles naturally, “Miss Angie and I didn’t know each other before. I just passed by and saw her in a bad mood, so I came here for a chat.”
So they don’t know each other?
But they don’t talk like two people they just meet. They look like old friends.
Leo frowns and glances at Luke. He says suspiciously, “I don’t remember you being so kind. She is my secretary.”
Leo’s words roughly show his possessiveness for Claire. He means Luke can’t like the people around him.
As an old friend of more than ten years, how could Luke not understand Leo? He chuckles and shakes his head and says, “we just talked for a while. Don’t worry. Let’s go in and talk about something.”
With that, he puts his hand on Leo’s shoulder and walks into the office.
“Wait.” Leo is motionless and expressionless. He lightly orders Claire, “make me a cup of coffee.”
With that, he turns and walks into the office with Luke. Leo no longer doubts Luke’s relationship with Claire. Since Luke said he doesn’t know her, he can’t go on asking. He can only let go of his doubts for a while.
As Luke walks, he turns to Claire and shouts, “I want a cup of coffee, too. Thank you.”
When they all turn around, Claire makes faces behind Leo. She is waiting for him to say that. He flirted with her this morning. If he doesn’t tell her, she decides not to prepare coffee for him.
Claire goes to the tea room. She makes Leo’s coffee hot on purpose. She thinks in her heart, you teased me! Burn you!
Claire quickly brings two cups of coffee into the office. One is warm and the other is very hot. Claire puts them down and leaves the office quickly.
Outside the office, Claire is in a good mood. She goes back to her seat and continues to work.
Luke stays inside for about an hour. He says goodbye to Claire before he leaves.
Leo quietly watches Luke’s every move. After Luke gets into the elevator, Leo goes to the front desk of the secretary and looks at Claire, who is working with her head bowed.
Claire doesn’t know how long Leo has been standing there. When she looks up and sees his face, she is shocked. “Sir, why are you here?”
Does he come to her for the coffee just now?

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....
