Claire yells at Leo, “you tease women! Can’t I be angry? Also, can you stop thinking that any woman likes you! Okay? Not every woman in the world will like you. If she likes you, she must be blind! Or she is cheated by you bastard!”
“Claire!” Claire’s accusation disappoints and breaks Leo’s heart. He grabs Claire by the shoulder and forces her to look into his eyes. “Is that what you think of me? Although I tease other women, I don’t do that to you.”
“Shut up!” Claire pushes Leo away and keeps him from touching her. She stares at Leo with red eyes and roars, “stop disgusting me! Are you going to tell me you like me so you won’t tease me? Leo, that’s enough. I’ve seen hypocrites, but I’ve never seen a hypocrite like you!”
“I...”
Claire’s resistance breaks Leo’s heart. He almost says that he likes her, but when he sees the hatred in Claire’s eyes, he doesn’t say it.
Leo looks aside and mocks her, “Do I like you? Stop joking. I don’t like a woman who has a bad figure and looks ugly. Claire, do you think what I said this morning meant I liked you? I advise you not to think too much. Your ending will be the same as Fiona’s.”
Finally, Leo looks straight at Claire and smiles cruelly. He says coldly, “don’t blame me for not reminding you. When you cry and beg me, I won’t answer you!”
With that, Leo strides out of the room. He goes back to his room and closes the door and punches it heavily.
Leo’s face is black. He must be furious so he said that words to Claire. That’s not what he thinks!
Part of the reason he’s been so nice to Fiona these days is that he wants Fiona to approve the cooperation project herself. Besides, he wants to see Claire jealous. He wants to hear her own admission that she likes him. Claire is a stubborn woman. Even if she doesn’t say it, Leo is happy to see that she cares about him.
Claire not only followed them all the time and didn’t talk, but she didn’t blame him. Besides, her occasional complaint was refuted by him.
Leo began to worry. Claire’s indifference made Leo thought she didn’t like him at all. He was afraid Claire didn’t like him, so he was so angry when he saw Claire took Fiona’s money.
He didn’t expect Claire to accept the money and try to leave quickly. He was more anxious, so he hurriedly ended his date with Fiona and came back to punish Claire.
Leo doesn’t understand what he thinks. Whenever he sees Claire, he can’t help but tease her and want to see more of her.
Recently Leo wonders if she likes him. This kind of curiosity makes Leo, who is possessive, unable to stop at all, so the farce happened.
But Leo doesn’t understand Claire’s attitude. Sometimes her ambiguous attitude makes him think Claire likes him, but sometimes Claire pushes him away like a hedgehog. Every time he tries to get close to her, she will finally run away.
Leo doesn’t feel comfortable. The more Claire rejects him, the more Leo is possessive and wants to keep Claire with him and possess her.
Today, he wanted to tell Claire what he thought, but the hatred in her eyes made Leo flinch. What did he do to make Claire hate so much?

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....
