“President! Children cannot be spoiled!” Claire looks at Leo angrily.
Claire is the woman he likes, but Conan is pathetic. Leo is not good at being a peacemaker. He puts his arm around Claire’s waist and sits her in his lap.
Claire falls into his arms. Leo whispers in Claire’s ear, “stop it, will you?”
Leo’s low voice rings in her ear. Claire’s heart is tickling. Realizing Conan is here, she blushes.
She quickly leaves Leo’s thigh and says awkwardly, “president, don’t do that. My son is still here!”
Conan smiles insidiously. He covers his mouth and chuckles, “Mommy is shy.”
Claire knows Conan is pretending. She glares at him angrily and says, “Conan! Shut up!”
“Haha, mommy is blushing.” Conan’s little eyes narrow into a line. He looks very happy.
“You!” Conan begins to be naughty. Claire knows he does it in front of Leo on purpose, but Claire is more angry about it.
Claire tries to teach Conan a lesson, but Leo takes her hand.
“Don’t lose your temper. You’re not even as good as your son.” Leo says helplessly.
“Leo, how long do you know each other? Are you defending him?” Claire stares at the father and son and is very angry.
Leo doesn’t know the truth, but they both satirize her. If Leo knows the truth, she will be killed by them!
Leo shrugs and says helplessly, “I know him longer than I know you. He came to the company earlier than you...”
Before Leo finishes speaking, Claire stares at him. He says quickly, “even though he is your son, I can’t watch a child being bullied by you. You are too mean. How can you be his mommy?”
I am forced by you!
Claire thinks angrily in her heart.
Fortunately, Conan doesn’t talk anymore. Leo makes fun of her. Claire has to shut up.
Claire is worried that Conan will inadvertently reveal their identity. At that time, even if she explains more, Leo can not help doubting.
Leo stands up and picks up Conan and walks downstairs. Claire walks beside him and asks, “president, why are you so nice to him? I never hold him.”
Leo is holding Conan’s soft body. He somehow wants to be close to Conan. Hearing Claire’s words, he glances at her and laughs at her. “You say you are his mommy. No Mommy is so mean to her son.”
“What?” Claire glares at Leo and says, “he’s grown up and has hands and feet. He can walk by himself. Conan, come down!”
With that, Claire orders Conan.

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....
