“I don’t care.” Claire glances scornfully at Leo and turns into the bedroom.
She knew long ago that Leo is not so easy to deal with. She doesn’t naively think she can get away from Leo easily. That year she suffered a lot to escape Leo. Now she can’t handle Leo with two checks.
Fortunately, she has been prepared so she is not so disappointed.
Claire lies in bed and thinks for a while before falling asleep.
...
When she wakes up again, she finds herself lying in a warm embrace.
Claire is shocked, and then she thinks about whether she is living in a dream. She smells a familiar smell. The feeling of skin contact is so real.
Claire lies quietly for a while and finds it is not a dream. This is the sense of reality!
“Are you awake?” There is a low voice over her head, and then her head is rubbed like a pet.
Claire looks up in shock at the familiar face. He has shallow scum near his lips.
Claire freezes. It takes her a long time to figure out the situation. She pushes Leo and shouts, “Leo! Why are you in my bed?”
When she went to bed last night, she clearly remembered that Leo was sleeping on the sofa. Why is he in her bed after dawn and sleeping with her in his arms?
Claire is about to break down. She shouldn’t leave Leo in the room. If he wants to do something bad to her, she has no place to cry.
Claire’s reaction is intense but Leo is much calmer. He rubs his eyebrows and lies flat on the bed. He says lazily, “don’t make a fuss. The sofa is so hard that I have to sleep in your bed. And your bed is so big that there’s no problem sleeping for two.”
“That’s not the point!” Claire is completely speechless. She pushes Leo and seriously says, “you’re just my boss. We can’t be so close. President, how can you lie on your secretary’s bed at will? It’s totally unreasonable!”
With that, Claire throws the pillow at Leo.
Leo’s head is smashed by a pillow. The pillow rolls and falls to the ground.
Claire realizes how excited she is. She is too rude to Leo. She just warns Leo that he is her boss, but now she’s not polite.
Leo freezes for a while and then suddenly turns over and presses Claire under him. He clasps Claire’s hands with both hands and looks at her with deep eyes.
Leo looks down at Claire with a serious expression. He watches quietly for a long time and then slowly says, “Claire, shall we be together?”
The sky seems to be thundering, which makes Claire at a loss. For a moment, her brain is blank. She can’t remember anything and doesn’t know how to react.
Leo’s words are like a mine exploding in her heart. Claire didn’t expect Leo to say that to her!

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....
