Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 232
Leo’s voice is low, magnetic and seductive, and Claire almost wants to nod and promise Leo.
However, she must not!
At this critical moment, Claire remembers the last time she saw her father. At that time her father was in poor health and needed to be hospitalized. Then Jade moved her father to another hospital without her knowledge. She never saw her father again.
Claire thinks of her father and his death notice. Leo’s concealment and betrayal, as well as the fact that he killed her father, hit Claire hard.
She can’t promise Leo. They are enemies! Even if she promises him, Leo will still insult her as before after recovering his memory. Claire doesn’t want it!
“No!” Claire shoves Leo away. Leo is unprepared and is pushed to the ground by Claire. Claire is emotional. There is hate in her eyes. “I don’t want to be with you even if I die!”
“Claire…” Leo sits on the ground and stares at Claire. He can’t accept Claire’s excitement for a moment.
He knows Claire might turn him down, but he didn’t expect Claire to be so excited. There is even hatred in her eyes.
What happened to her?
Claire is emotional and delirious. She thinks of what happened six years ago. In her mind, Leo insulted her and killed her father.
What happened six years ago leaves Claire with a deep scar. Now it’s ripped open and bleeding. She can’t accept it for a moment.
She looks ahead in a daze. Gradually she curls up her legs and hugs herself. Her eyes are unfocused and looking somewhere.
Claire’s battered look hurts Leo’s heart. He gets up from the ground and sits on the sofa. He thinks for a moment and holds Claire in his arms. He puts his head on her head painfully.
This time Claire doesn’t push Leo away. Maybe the past is too painful, so she shivers a little. She is so cold from foot to body that she can’t help holding Leo. She puts her face close to Leo’s arms and tears fall from the corners of her eyes.
Leo feels the moisture in his arms and holds Claire harder and tries to make her feel warm.
At the same time, Leo is skeptical. What did he say just now that makes Claire so excited? Doesn’t he know Claire enough?
He seems to need to investigate this woman.
…
They hug for nearly half an hour. Claire gradually comes out of her memory. She calms down and regains her mind. She finds herself in Leo’s arms.

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....
