Luke says seriously, “I want you to give me an idea instead of making a silly joke.”
Conan pouts and rubs his temples with his fingers and thinks. Luke’s problem is not something that a hacker can solve. He can get an answer from anyone except Conan.
Luke seems really anxious.
Conan sighs and says, “you’re afraid you won’t have a chance in the future. Why do you say that?”
“That day I took her to the door of the hospital and I made this request. She didn’t agree at first, but she probably thought for a long time and texted me to agree. If I break my promise, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance.”
Although Kate is careless, she is not sensitive to love. Even if she reacts, she is sometimes shy and totally different from her usual self.
So Luke’s concern is not unreasonable.
“Then you can postpone your meeting with Tracy.”
Conan finally makes such a useless comment.
“I hope so, but Tracy made it clear that I had only one chance. Although I don’t know what she’s thinking, I have to try.”
Luke is actually thinking that Claire and Leo are divorced, but she can make sacrifices for Howard Group, so he, as an agent of Howard group, has to seize this opportunity.
And unlike Claire, Luke has no personal feud with Tracy.
Conan feels that women are a super troublesome creature. It’s harder to crack than a program set up by a top hacker.
Conan thinks for a long time and shakes his head dejectedly, “I’m sorry. I don’t know how to deal with this kind of thing. But I can recommend you one person.”
Luke listens carefully.
“Of course it’s my mommy. She knows Aunt Kate. Why don’t you talk to Mommy?”
Conan looks at Luke helplessly. He can’t figure out why shrewd Luke has become so clumsy. Women know women, and Claire is actually a person with delicate mind.
Luke smiles and says, “you’re right, but...”
Claire seems to have been depressed lately. Will he disturb her?
When indecisive Luke is still indecisive, Conan takes out his cell phone and calls Claire.
“Hello, Mommy, this is Conan.” When Conan speaks to Claire, his tone becomes innocent. Conan seems to have a voice changer with him, which makes Luke feel very interesting.
But Luke doesn’t know Conan really has a voice changer with him.
Conan simply tells Claire the whole story of Luke’s so-called trouble.
Claire, who is in a low mood, laughs on the phone. She has been trying to match Luke and Kate. She thinks it is impossible, but she didn’t expect them to date.
It’s a destiny that can’t be changed.

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....
