Keep pretending!
Claire turns a deaf ear to Leo. He is a president. He will not sleep on a small sofa in such a small house.
Claire thinks it’s impossible. She doesn’t care why he’s here tonight. She doesn’t want to guess or care. Anyway, he’ll leave later.
Claire ignores him and plans to take a hot bath and go to bed.
She takes off her clothes after entering the bathroom. Claire limps and tries to jump into the bathtub, but she steps on the water on the floor and falls to the ground.
Claire cries out in pain again.
Damn!
Usually she walks on the water on the floor with two feet, but today she hurt one foot, so she can only limp. Now she falls straight to the ground.
What’s more, it’s hard for her to get up.
Claire’s scream catches Leo’s attention. He is drunk today, so he was dizzy on the way here. He is afraid that he can’t drive back, so he wantsto sleep at Claire’s house for one night.
But he didn’t expect to hear Claire screaming in the bathroom as soon as he closes his eyes. She sounds frightened. Leo opens his eyes and worries about Claire, so he gets up quickly and goes to the toilet.
Leo goes to the toilet door and opens it without thinking. He shouts, “Angie! What’s the matter with you?”
He opens the door as he shouts.
“...”
When he sees Claire lying naked on the ground, he is stunned.
Claire is stunned to see Leo suddenly open the door. Then she screams, “ah...”
“You pervert! Why do you come in!” Claire hurriedly covers her body. She clamps her legs and puts her hands on her chest. She keeps shouting, “get out! Get out of here!”
Now Leo is fully awake. He looks at the beauty and smiles awkwardly, “I’m sorry...”
Then he closes the door again before Claire hits him with something.
Claire is relieved when the door closes. She breathes a sigh of relief and holds the bathtub and tries to get up from the ground.
She has only one foot on the ground and it is slippery so she struggles to get up from the ground.
She manages to stand straight. Before she gasps, she accidentally touches her injured foot. She is in pain and suddenly falls to the ground. She can’t help screaming again.
This time, however, Claire falls into the bathtub. She can stand the pain but the bathtub is full of water. Her upper body is submerged after she falls. Her nose, ears, eyes and mouth are filled with water.
Even Claire’s screams are drowned.
Claire’s lower body is outside the bathtub and her upper body is inside. She wants to wriggle and sit up. She wants to hold on to the walls of the bathtub and prop up, but it is too slippery for her to find a support point.

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....
