Just as Claire is about to get up and leave, Conan runs in breathlessly.
“Oh, you are here. It's so hard for me to find you.” He raises his hand and wipes his forehead. Conan sees Claire holding her handbag and asks in surprise, “Mommy, where are you going?”
Claire says calmly, “Since your father is here, I will go back first.”
“Ah, here we are now. Let's go after dinner,” said Conan, holding on to Claire. “I've been busy for a long time, and I'm hungry. Let's go to have dinner first. I know there is a restaurant near here that tastes good.”
“Let's go home. The kit is ready for dinner.”
“But I'm hungry now. I'm during the period of growth. It's not good for me to be so hungry.”
“But...”
Glancing at Leo, Claire tight lips.
Receiving Claire's eyesight, Leo stands up and says, “You two eat first. I'll go back to the company.”
Ah, I'm really angry. I just pacified this one, and that one is in a state of affairs again! What's more, why can't daddy be a little cheeky? When Mommy become angry, he flinches automatically. It's not liked his style at all!
Sighing inward hopelessly, Conan reaches out and grabs Leo. Meanwhile, he smiles to him.
“Oh, daddy, it doesn't matter to handle the company's business later. It's less important than have a dinner together.”
Take a deep look at Claire, Leo says, “With me, your mommy may not be able to eat well.”
Claire doesn't like to hear this. Obviously, this guy doesn't want to see her, too. Why should she be a shield?
As soon as Claire picks her eyebrows and is about to refute.
“Oh, are you going to fight in front of me?” To avoid the situation becoming worse, Conan threatens, “Tell you, the proportion of children's character distortion is more than 30% because the family is not harmonious. Especially for talents with high intelligence like me, it is easier to form anti-social personality! If you think it doesn't matter, keep fighting!”
Staring at Leo, Claire explains, “We are not arguing, just talking.”
“Is the talk over now?”
“Well, it's over.”
“Then let's go to dinner!”
Voice down, Conan cannot help but drag Claire and Leo, excitedly goes to the restaurant next door.
Conan changes his face a little fast, which makes Claire confused in her heart.
Although she is skeptical, it is about the growth of her children. Claire still suppresses the doubt and follows Conan into the hotel without complaint.
Maybe it's really hungry. Conan orders a table of delicious food. But before he begins to eat, he covers his stomach, and the expression on his face is painful.
“Are you ok?”
“Well, I have a stomachache. I want to go to the bathroom first.”
“Do you want to take some medicine?”
“No, no!”
Conan says, and runs away.
“Isn't he having a bad stomach?”
Claire mumbles to herself but doesn't find Leo looking at her all the time.
Looking back, once again meet Leo’s eyesight, Claire freezes, then hurriedly lowers her head.
“Well, let's calm down first. At least, we should maintain a harmonious appearance in front of the children.”
“Such a hypocritical peace, are you sure of Conan need?”
Leo says placid, which easily angers Claire. She frowns and scolds, “How do you know he doesn't need it? Conan is a child after all. For children, family harmony means everything.”
“But Conan is not an ordinary child.”
“So, you won't cooperate with the acting?”
“Of course, I can't act.”
Claire looks at Leo angrily, like an angry rabbit.

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....
