After listening to Claire, Leo looks down. Claire can’t see the look on his face.
The air is filled with an indescribable atmosphere. Neither of them speaks. Leo lowers his head and seems to be thinking about what Claire said, and Claire doesn’t know what to say.
She closes her eyes and thinks it is best to make it clear so Leo will let her go and stop pestering her.
Claire is sad to think that Leo will be cold again.
However, this mood does not last for a long time. Leo, who has been thinking with his head down, suddenly looks up and smiles.
Leo laughs wildly. There is fanaticism in his eyes. He looks at Claire and says confidently, “Claire, I think you underestimated me. Do you think I am a cowardly man who dare not pay for his woman?”
With that, Leo walks up to Claire and hugs her waist. He looks down and stares at Claire. Leo’s eyes are full of confidence. He quietly looks at Claire and seems to want to show her his determination.
Leo looks at Claire and arrogantly says, “you, Claire, can only be my woman. You will always be!”
Claire seems to be standing in a strong wind. Leo’s words are overbearing, and Claire can’t avoid them.
Claire’s heart seems to have been hit hard. It begins to jump. Her heartbeat is so loud that Claire suspects Leo can hear it.
She looks into Leo’s deep eyes and feels drawn in. She can not look away at all.
They look at each other for a while. Their brows are pressed together. Their noses are pressed together. Their lips are pressed together.
Leo takes Claire to the room. He puts her on the bed and presses on her.
Claire is still addicted to the shock Leo gives her. They kiss fiercely.
Leo exudes desire. At the last step, Leo gives Claire a big kiss and asks in a hoarse voice, “Claire, can I?”
Hearing Leo’s voice, Claire is back to her senses. She opens her eyes in confusion and looks at Leo, who is full of lust. He seems to suffer a lot.
He remembers that he has promised her that he will not touch her as long as she does not agree.
Claire is moved to see this. She is moved by such an affectionate man. For a moment she seems to like the man who respects her opinion at the most critical moment.
But why is she moved?
Claire ponders the question in bewilderment. She suddenly shivers and thinks about what she and Leo are doing and their relationship!
God, when does she start to be attracted to Leo? Is she seduced by his eyes when she looks at him?

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....
