Claire glances at Kate helplessly and says, “it’s not that simple. If a man is nice to you and kisses you and hugs you, and he will do some intimate actions to you that only lovers can do, can you feel at ease?”
Kate thinks for a moment. She is a careless woman and gets along well with men so she doesn’t mind. She nods and says, “maybe... I can...”
With that, Kate suddenly thinks of Luke. She imagins herself and Luke as Claire and Leo. If Luke tells her one day that he likes her and treats her well, she can’t accept it.
It is disgusting to think about it. Kate immediately shakes her head desperately and says firmly, “no, I can’t accept it!”
Seeing that Kate finally understands her feelings, Claire sighs and says, “give me some advice. What should I do?”
Kate hesitates and scratches her head impatiently. In the end, she gives Claire a suggestion that is not a suggestion. “You can treat him well and expose him. I know men have a disease now. When they like a woman, they are willing to do anything. When they get that woman, they lose interest and break up at will.”
Claire says speechlessly, “bad idea. Is there anything else?”
Claire can’t be nice to Leo. She can’t accept herself like that. She can’t lose her conscience. She can’t be nice to her enemy.
Kate holds her chin with one hand and looks up at the ceiling for a moment. She says simply, “no.”
“...” Claire is completely silent this time.
What she says is rubbish. Kate is very careless. She can’t give her good advice. Claire shouldn’t have asked her.
Claire looks disappointed so Kate feels guilty. She wants to say something to comfort her. “In fact, what I said is not unreasonable. Whether or not he’ll break up with you, on the other hand, if Leo really likes you and you treat him well, he might tell you about your son.”
“But if you don’t do anything, nothing will change. You will still be haunted by him and you will never find your son.”
What Kate says seems to make sense. Claire thinks for a moment and nods hesitantly, “well, I’ll go back and think about it first...”
“OK, it’s up to you.”
Kate can go on eating porridge at ease now. Suddenly she thinks of the key. She looks at Claire and asks seriously, “why did Leo suddenly say he likes you? Does he change his temper after losing his memory and then fall in love with you?”
“I don’t know.” Claire shrugs helplessly. She says casually, “Leo really changes a lot after losing her memory. He’s not as domineering and aloof as he used to be. Now he is gentler than before. If only I know why he likes me. Then I can know if he really likes me.”
“Haha, please stop.” Kate waves and interrupts Claire, “you’re not in the right tone. It sounds like you like him. Claire, to be honest, do you like Leo now?”

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....
