When the pain gets better, Claire gets up from the sofa. She limps to the door of the room and summons enough courage to open it.
However, after Claire opens the door, the room is empty.
It turns out that he left long ago.
Claire is a little disappointed. The idea is thrown away as soon as it comes out.
Why is she disappointed? Maybe she is sorry for what she did last night. He left before she apologizes to him. Yes!
But today her foot is injured and she can’t go to work. Claire takes her cell phone and hesitates to call Leo for leave. She thinks for a while and gives up.
First, what happened last night makes her not know how to deal with Leo. Second, she doesn’t know what to say when she calls him.
So Claire puts down her cell phone and is absent from work.
Anyway, he knew yesterday that her foot is hurt. Even if she doesn’t call him, he knows it.
By noon, Claire is hungry but she doesn’t want to go out and doesn’t know the ordering number. She hasn’t ordered after returning home. Every time she eats out.
Claire is so hungry that she calls Kate and asks her to come to her house quickly to save her.
Kate deserves to be her good friend. Claire just hangs up, and Kate comes quickly. Because she hears that Claire has a sprain, she buys a lot of food specially.
“Wow! Kate, I love you so much! You know me!” Claire says happily, holding a large number of snacks.
Kate glances at Claire and opens the lunch box and puts it in front of her. “Eat it. Didn’t you say you are hungry?”
“OK!” Claire is in a good mood. She has a quick meal and belches with satisfaction.
Kate can’t help kicking her and saying, “can you be as noble as a girl? You are beautiful but rude. What if no one wants to marry you in the future?”
Only Kate in the world is not qualified to say that.
Claire can’t help but whisper in her heart, but she says, “I learned it from you. You can’t blame me. What’s more, if no one marries me, you can marry me, otherwise I will be lonely forever. I want to live with my son!”
“Enough.” Kate shakes her goose bumps and can’t help but say, “I marry you? I’m not a lesbian. Don’t be interested in me and your son. He will live with his wife in the future. Go away, you old woman.”
Claire can’t help making fun of her. “My son hasn’t admitted that you’re his godmother. You consciously label yourself. Are you ashamed?”
“Sooner or later he will admit that I am his godmother. Don’t you agree?” With that, Kate reaches out and tickles Claire.
“Ha ha, Kate, no! I’m ticklish. Ha ha...” Claire rolls on the sofa begging for mercy.
When they are playing, the doorbell rings suddenly. Claire and Kate look at each other and see in their eyes that they are asking, who is it?

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....
