Pushing the door into Ashley’s room, Claire finds that she has sits up and is looking out of the window.
“Awake?”
“Um.”
“Come and have a bowl of soup.”
“Soup again?” Ashley is afraid of the appearance, says, “I eat or sleep every day, will become a sow. When I get back to headquarters, I don’t think they will recognize me.”
“You are seriously injured and should take good care of yourself. It’s nothing to be fat at all. It’s good that Black doesn’t dislike you.”
When it comes to Black, Claire can’t help looking at the people behind her.
Seeing Claire staring at himself, Conan smiles gracefully.
Ashley looks like nothing. She smiles and greets Conan.
“Are you Conan? It’s the first time we’ve met.”
“In fact, I have seen you, but at that time you were seriously injured and passed out.”
“It’s a pity that I doesn’t remember my first meeting with you.”
Conan thinks this is a bit awkward, but on the surface, he doesn’t pay attention to it. He smiles and says, “Actually, I haven’t had a chance to thank aunt Ashley. When Mommy was in MG company, she was always under the care of aunt Ashley.”
“You’re welcome. Your Mommy is a very good woman. She deserves to be treated by others.”
Seeing these people start talking about herself, Claire interrupts them and says, “Hey, you are not welcome. I don’t like it.”
“We are praise you, please don't be upset.”
“That is, Mommy, you can have such a good friend as Auntie Ashley and it can improve Mommy’s intelligence.”
Although she is teased, Claire’s smile is warm when he sees that Conan has a harmonious relationship with Ashley.
“I’m glad you get along well.”
“Why can’t we get along?”
“Because...”
The words does not finish, Claire then stops and silent.
What else? It’s because Conan imprisons Black.
Seeing Claire’s eyes twinkling, Conan says clearly, “Don’t worry, Black is very good now, we are just exchange technology, we are like-minded friends.”
“Since you are friend, why can’t he contact the outside world?”
“I let him go, but he doesn’t want to go. Black says that he wants to crack the code I set and he work hard all day. He doesn’t see anyone yet, he says there needs to be a quiet environment to concentrate on thinking.”
Conan’s expression is sincere. Even if it’s a lie off, it seems to be true.
To this, Ashley smiles, does not care to go on.
“Well, stop talking, have soup, have soup.”
From Ashley, Claire grabs Conan and asks, “Conan, tell Mommy the truth, is it Black who doesn’t want to go or you don’t let him go?”
“We won’t let him go.” Conan is frank and says, “But this is to protect him. Mommy, you think, if Black falls on Juan’s hand, Juan can threaten Ashley and make her obedient. Ashley is a patient now, so it’s not appropriate to think about it. So we should consider these things.”
Squinting at Conan, Claire asks, “Is it so simple?”
“It’s so simple. Why else? Mommy, you’re back now. We don’t have to deal with Ashley and Black. It’s not good for us. Are you think it right?”
“That’s right.” Claire’s nerves have been breaking up recently. She will think about some things. It’s very possible that she really misunderstands 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....
