She is so excited that her tears almost come out!
They usually meet by video phone. They are separated for a long time. This is their first real meeting.
Claire holds her son tightly. She says happily, “Conan, mommy finally see you.”
Claire holds Conan and says, “Conan, are you losing a lot of weight? I feel like you are little...”
“Stupid Mommy, I’m very little.” Conan hasn’t seen Claire for a long time and misses her very much. He doesn’t usually tell her, but he reaches out and holds Claire.
“OK, I’ll cook more for you. You need to eat more.” Claire is so excited that she doesn’t know what to say. She holds Conan in her arms and her eyes are moist.
Conan laughs and doesn’t expose Claire. Even if they live together, he has to cook by himself.
...
A farce ends with the arrival of Conan. In front of Conan, Kate and Luke can’t go on arguing. They watch Conan and Claire embrace for a while before Luke eases the situation.
“Let’s go out for breakfast. We should all be hungry.”
“OK!” Conan says cheerfully.
Claire responds to her son’s words. A lot happened this morning. Claire hasn’t figured it out yet.
Claire picks up Conan happily. Led by Luke, they go out for breakfast.
After breakfast, Claire asks Conan to come home with her. After a while they go to Luke’s house to pick up Conan’s luggage. Luke says he has something to do. He takes them home and leaves. Kate wants to leave, too. After what happened this morning, she begins to hate Luke.
Luke and Kate split up. Luke takes Claire and Conan downstairs and leaves.
Claire takes Conan’s little hand. After they leave, Claire says angrily to Conan, “you already know I live here, right? How could you have the key to my apartment?”
Conan laughs and spits out his pinkish tongue. “You’re right. Ha ha, I didn’t mean to. I want to help you and daddy create more opportunities to get along. If I show up, I’ll stand in your way. I don’t want it!”
“Don’t you miss me?” Claire says angrily.
“I miss you and daddy, but you are stubborn. If I don’t create opportunities for you to get along, how can you give me a funny sister?” Conan says with a smile.
“You’re not polite!” Claire taps Conan on the head.

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....
