Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 358
“Who is going to call me?” Luke unconsciously touches his cell phone.
Conan doesn’t speak and laughs at Luke who’s waiting.
Kate calls Luke a few minutes later.
Luke answers the phone almost immediately.
It’s Kate.
Luke looks at Conan helplessly and doesn’t know what to say, because Conan doesn’t tell him how to solve the problem.
Kate is silent, too. They are a perfect match!
Luke coughs and wants to be honest, but Kate suddenly says, “I’m sorry. I can’t keep my appointment tonight.”
“What?”
Luke didn’t expect it. Is the way Conan says it is to let Kate break the appointment? It seems so.
“...”
Luke is happy but he pretends to sigh. Conan sees Luke’s acting. He is indeed of the same rank as him.
“What a pity.” Luke expresses his disappointment and helplessness.
He can get full marks. Conan gives Luke an objective evaluation of his performance.
Kate on the other end of the line says coldly, “you don’t mind, do you? I don’t really want to date you.” Kate seems to be rejecting something.
Luke is confused. Is that one of Claire’s ideas?
Luke reluctantly smiles and says, “it doesn’t matter. I’m just on impulse. I didn’t expect you to agree. It seems that we are both stupid.”
Conan can hear Kate, too, and then he hears Luke’s answer. He freezes. It’s not planned at all.
Conan’s eyes widen.
Kate and Luke are two freaks! Or they’re freaks when they fight. They have fun hitting each other and denying themselves.
They are abusing each other.
The adults’ world is really hard to understand.
Kate on the other end of the phone is stunned for a second when she hears Luke’s answer, and then she swears, “only you are stupid. I am not stupid.”
Then she hangs up.
Luke is confused. He frowns and looks at Conan and asks in disbelief, “Conan, did I fail in humor?”
Conan sighs and says, “Uncle Luke, you’d better be a steady rich man. Sometimes you need to be serious.”
Luke turns around and looks serious. He says aloud, “so you and your lovely Mommy gave me a bad idea. Kate cancelled her appointment with me. By the way, she said I was stupid.”
“Claire didn’t do it right.” Luke is a little helpless.
Conan waves and smiles and says, “don’t be angry. In fact, it’s like this.”

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....
