Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 239
After they say goodbye, Kate looks at Claire’s back. Just now she looked at Claire’s face and felt like she had met someone who looked like Claire.
But Kate thinks about it. She has never met a woman or a man of Claire’s age. Kate can’t figure it out so she stops thinking.
Claire arrives at the company more than an hour later than usual. Fortunately, she told Leo in advance, so Leo doesn’t respond when he sees her.
During the day, there are a lot of people in the company, so Leo doesn’t do anything intimate with Claire. He has been working in the office.
When Claire goes in to make coffee for him, she sees him working hard. She can’t help thinking. In fact, regardless of his private life, Leo is very responsible for his work. He is not with some dirty women.
Nothing happens on this day. In the evening, Claire comes home. As soon as she sits down, the doorbell rings.
Claire goes to open the door in confusion. Why is her doorbell always ringing recently? She doesn’t have many friends. Who’s here?
Claire opens the door and sees Leo.
Claire sighs helplessly and says weakly, “president, what are you doing here?”
Doesn’t he have his own house? Why does he come to her house often?
“Can’t I come here?” Leo walks into the house.
He wants to go back to his villa, but he doesn’t want to go back when he thinks of facing the empty and cold house.
He misses Claire’s little house and the taste of her food. By the time he gets back to his senses, he has driven to Claire’s apartment. Leo smiles helplessly and has to go upstairs.
But Claire doesn’t welcome him. Leo touches Claire’s head and says naturally, “I’m hungry. Did you cook?”
“No,” Claire pushes Leo’s hand away and complains, “president, do you think my home is a hotel? I have to charge!”
“Oh?” Hearing this, Leo raises his eyebrows. He looks at Claire thoughtfully and jokingly says, “how much do you charge for a night?”
Claire blushes at once. She pushes Leo and says angrily, “I don’t mean that! I’m asking you not to come here again. It’s not convenient for me.”
“Why is it inconvenient? You are at home alone. I’m at home alone, too. It’s good that we live together.” Leo says casually. He strides to the sofa and takes off her coat.
Leo is talking nonsense.

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....
