“You bastard!” With that, Kate throws another pillow at Luke.
This time Luke is ready. He ducks and rubs the back of his head. Now he feels dizzy and his throat is dry.
Luke ignores Kate. He turns and walks out of his room. He goes to the kitchen to drink water and feels better.
Kate is ignored by Luke and she follows him angrily. She yells, “Luke! Are you human? You’ve been holding me all night! Don’t you want to admit it now?”
Luke wakes up after drinking the water. He looks at Kate and wonders why she is here. After hearing Kate’s words, he raises his eyebrows in bewilderment. “Do I hold you all night?”
At Luke’s words, Kate becomes more angry. She points at Luke and says angrily, “how dare you pretend to lose your memory! Can’t you admit it? Are you a man?”
Luke looks at his messy clothes and remembers that she was standing on the bed. He understands what is going on.
He remembers that he was worried about Leo and upset and then went to the bar yesterday for a drink. He saw Kate and asked her to drink together. He may be drunk last night and hugged Kate all night. But if it’s just like this, he didn’t do anything to her. Why is she so angry?
It seems that Kate will lose her temper if he doesn’t apologize.
So Luke pretends to be apologetic and says, “I see. I am wrong. I’ll treat you to dinner. Please forgive me.”
Kate angrily says, “what do you think I am? Do you only invite me to dinner?”
“What do you want?” Luke says helplessly.
“At least you have to provide me with food for this month!” Kate says seriously.
She’s poor now so she can blackmail Luke.
Luke chuckles. He thought Kate was going to ask for something, but he didn’t think it is still about food. He says, “OK, I’ll do it.”
Kate snorts and lets Luke go.
Actually she woke up a little flustered. She’s usually careless, but actually she hasn’t slept in the same bed with a man. Everyone thinks she is very open, only she knows she is still a virgin.
She lets Luke go easily because she knows she is wrong. She was drunk last night, too. She can’t just blame Luke.
Luckily Luke didn’t eat her.
They are talking when Conan comes down from the second floor in pajamas and sleepy eyes. He looks at Luke and Kate confused and says, “Uncle Luke, Sis Kate, what are you doing in the early morning?”
When Kate sees the lovely Conan, her anger dissipates. She runs up to Conan happily and rubs his little face. “Good morning, Conan. Do you miss me in these days? I miss you very much.”

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....
