Does Tracy dare to do this because Leo is always busy with his work or doesn’t care?
Does Leo know about it?
Because Claire has been thinking, she and Conan chat casually and then interrupt the video.
If Leo doesn’t know about it, Claire thinks she’s discovered a great secret.
As soon as Conan hangs up the video, he hears a noise at the door. He thinks Luke is back so he pretends to be happy. He runs out and shouts, “Uncle Luke, you’re back... Sis Kate? Why are you with Uncle Luke...”
Before Conan finishes, he realizes what is going on.
Luke is drunk and is lying on Kate’s shoulder, and Kate is born strong and brings him back.
Kate is exhausted at the door. She grabs Luke’s body and breathlessly says to Conan, “hurry up and help your uncle Luke. I’m exhausted...”
“OK...” Conan runs to Luke. In fact, he just grabs Luke’s arm and holds him symbolically.
Conan doesn’t have the strength to lift Luke.
Kate is exhausted when Luke is lifted onto the sofa. She sits next to Luke and lies on the sofa. She shouts, “shit, I’m dying of exhaustion...”
Conan looks at them. Luke is drunk and Kate kindly sends him home. Kate seems to drink a lot too. Maybe she’s a heavy drinker so she’s not drunk.
Sure enough, Kate calms down and kicks Luke angrily. She says angrily, “are you a man? You can only drink very little!”
Conan pretends to be curious and asks, “Sis Kate, what happened to you? Why do you drink so much?”
Kate is more angry. She glares at Luke angrily and says, “your Uncle Luke asked me to drink with him when he saw me. If I had known he could only drink a little, I would not have accompanied him!”
Kate calms down after complaining. She says to Conan, “Conan, take care of your Uncle Luke. I’m leaving. I’ll play with you next time.”
As soon as Conan wants to nod, he sees Luke reach for Kate’s hand and say, “don’t go...”
When Conan sees the scene, he smiles and whispers to Kate, “I think you can accompany Uncle Luke. I am sleepy. I’ll go back to my room and go to bed first.”
With that, Conan runs back to his room.
“Ah!” Kate can’t stop him. She looks at Conan’s back and murmurs, “this child is so bad...”
After that, Kate thinks Conan is familiar, but she drank a lot of wine today and she is dizzy, so she doesn’t remember who Conan looks like.
Although Kate is drunk, she is calm. Outsiders think she’s awake, but only she knows her perception is getting weaker.
Luke is still holding her hand. Kate shakes it hard and finds that she can’t shake it at all.

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....
