Any other arrangement is clearly the guy's excuse.
With a sigh, Claire says with bitterness in her voice, “Ah, she should still be angry.”
“Don't worry, I'll comfort her.”
“Then, you take good care of Kate and enlighten her, I will send her a postcard.”
“Well, I'll tell her.”
Turning around, her eyes falls on Conan. Claire pats his head and says, “Conan, take good care of yourself.”
“Don't worry, Mommy. Don't be too playful outside. If you miss daddy and me, come back and see us.”
“Well, I will.”
Looking around, Claire seems to be searching for someone's figure.
“Don't look for him. Daddy is going to meet a very important partner today. He doesn't have time to come to the airport.”
“I, I didn't want to see him,” Claire says with a slightly uneasy expression, carrying her bag. “Then, I'm in.”
“Be careful.”
Reach out and wave to two people, Claire turns around and leaves.
Looking at Claire's back, Luke comes to Conan's ear and asks, “Is your daddy here or not?”
“I haven't seen him for days. I don't know.”
“Let's make a bet. The bet is your new robot. If you win, I'll raise money for you. If you lose, give me the robot.”
“Good!” Conan said without hesitation, “I guess daddy must be in a corner of the airport.”
“That's what I want to say. How could you take the lead?”
“It's called starting first. Hey, uncle Luke, do you admit defeat?”
Luke shakes his head and says with emotion, “I really lost to you and your father.”
“It's because you've been interested in my robot for a long time that you come up with such a way to finance it.”
“Now if financing has become so stateless, do I still need to beg someone?”
They chat and walk outside, while someone in the corner keeps staring at the front for a long time.
...
Put the luggage away. Claire sits in her seat and takes out a book to read.
“Excuse me?”
Claire's head sent a crisp voice, which made her shake her head and laugh.
What's the matter? Did I have a hallucination? I can hear the voice of Kate here.
Just when Claire thought of when Kate could be relieved, someone reaches out and pats her on the shoulder.
“Pretty girl, please let me in. My seat is in it.”
This tone, this touch, doesn't look like a dream!
Looking up, Claire looks at the familiar smile and raises her voice abruptly.
“Kate, why are you here?”
It's this woman. What the hell is she doing!
Gently shrugged her shoulders, Kate looks indifferent and says, “This plane is not contracted by you, why can't I sit?”
“Don't change the subject, you know what I mean!”
“Let's not talk about that. Stand up and Let me sit down for a while.”
Claire is pushed away. Kate sits on the seat and reaches for the wind.
Claire straightens Kate's body, forces her to look at her face, frowns and asks, “Kate, what do you mean, hurry up and make it clear!”
“It's not interesting. I'm tired of staying here. I want to go abroad to play.”
“Play? I see that you want to watch me! You traitor!”
“I don't like to hear that. What is surveillance? When we travel together, is it not good to have a companion? Don't be too narrow-minded, Claire. It's not good for you.”

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....
