Conan replies directly, “come on. Daddy, you’re employing child labor. It’s against the law.”
Conan has no other interest but to play now. Anyway, they have been reunited. He doesn’t have to work.
Claire says, “I think Conan is right. In fact, I never want Conan to be involved in adult affairs.”
Claire had to rely on Conan’s talent because she was in a critical situation, but now the problem is solved. Claire doesn’t want Conan to be exposed to the commercial war early.
Leo also thinks it makes sense and says, “in order not to waste your talent, I’ll invite the best hacker to teach you. What do you think?”
Conan is not happy, “Daddy, please spare me. I want to play. After all, I’m just a kid.”
“...”
Because Conan showed his ability this time. Leo can’t stand his sudden loveliness.
“Besides, there are few hackers better than me. Forget it.” Conan begins to be proud.
Leo shakes his head and has to give up.
...
Leo and Claire stay together for the next few days. Though they are together most of the time, Conan feels depressed. Sometimes Leo and Claire forget him because they are in love.
Conan feels hurt and sighs. It turns out that when the three of them live together, the most tortured is himself.
But the consolation for Conan is that he can finally taste Mommy’s cooking. During Leo’s rest days at home, the maids are idle and have nothing to do.
Because Claire does most of the housework. Leo doesn’t want her to, but Claire insists. She says that’s the atmosphere of home.
It seems that Claire is really integrated into the family.
Occasionally Leo takes them out shopping or playing. They do a lot to make them happy.
Leo makes it a career to compensate Claire and Conan, and he succeeds. Conan says he finally has a good childhood near the end of his childhood. Claire doesn’t say it, but her intimacy with Leo reveals all her inner thoughts.
Conan sees Claire’s happy smile and secretly makes up his mind to protect the hard-earned happiness with her daddy.
But it’s not good to be stuck together every day. Leo gets Luke’s call and finally decides to go to work.
Howard Group has survived the crisis, but there are still a lot of trivia. Leo doesn’t really have nothing to do as he says. In fact, he asks Luke to deal with those things.
Claire and Conan first observe a moment of silence for Luke, and then they watch as Leo walks out.
...
Luke looks at Leo in the company and says angrily, “you are happy, but these days are a disaster for me!”

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....
