Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 174
Imagination is beautiful. It isn’t until Claire leaves that Luke starts the car.
Claire isn’t there so Kate stops pretending. She can’t help but pat Luke on the shoulder and say, “shut up when I talk. Don’t speak with me at the same time!” Kate saw Claire’s face just now.
Luke is still in a good temper. He smiles gently. “I’ll pay attention next time.”
“You want to have another time?” Kate stares at Luke discontentedly. “I’ll never eat with you again! Don’t even think about it!”
“OK...” Luke shrugs helplessly.
But Kate is even less happy. She immediately says angrily, “I warn you not to bully Claire. If I find out you’re not nice to Claire, I won’t let you go!”
Hearing this, Luke can’t help chuckling.
The serious atmosphere disappears with Luke’s chuckle. Kate says angrily, “what are you laughing at?”
Luke doesn’t answer and looks intently at the traffic ahead. After a while he turns to Kate and smiles and says, “I think you’re cute!”
“What?”
Luke’s smile is as gentle as the spring breeze. For a moment Kate looks at Luke’s smile and loses her mind.
When she regains her mind, she finds that she is attracted by his smile. She scolds herself in her heart and continues, “I’m not cute. I am handsome! Don’t think I’ll change my impression of you if you praise me. Stop daydreaming!”
Kate always speaks arrogantly, but Luke doesn’t care. He just chuckles.
It isn’t until Kate gets home that she stops nagging and educating Luke. Luke pats the steering wheel and watches Kate hop up the stairs happily.
This woman is really...
...
The next morning, Claire goes to work as usual. Because of what happened yesterday morning, Leo doesn’t even look at Claire when he comes to the company.
Claire doesn’t care and continues to work.
In the afternoon, Claire brings coffee to Leo. Leo finishes his work and stands up to rest. He sees Claire come in.
They look at each other. Claire takes a look at Leo and lowers her head to put the coffee on Leo's desk. Then she turns and wants to leave.
“Wait.” Claire is just about to leave when Leo stops her.
Leo walks up to Claire and quietly looks at Claire’s face. He feels that she is familiar and as if he has seen her.
Leo thinks of the beautiful woman he saw last night. The woman’s name is Claire. Her name is Angie. Their faces are similar, but their figures...

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....
