The atmosphere is a bit awkward. Claire is upset. She doesn't understand why they don't like each other. Even if there are misunderstandings, they can communicate well and solve problems.

But now Kate doesn't give Luke a chance at all.

Kate lies on the sofa playing with her cell phone arrogantly. Luke keeps that modest and polite smile. Claire is upset and sits down.

She now feels Luke's troubles between her and Leo that year.

Claire says casually, "did you two have lunch? Would you like to go out for lunch?"

"We have had lunch." Kate and Luke say in unison.

With that, Kate stares at Luke discontentedly. She hates him speaking with her at the same time. Last time he promised her not to do it again. This hypocritical bad man!

"..."

Claire is helpless. Are they coming to see her or are they bothering her? She's a patient!

A few minutes later, Claire wants to ignore them.

Just then, Claire's phone rings. She almost throws away her cell phone when she picks it up!

It's Leo!

Claire calms down and answers, "hello."

"Why don't you come to work?" Leo's low voice is a little angry.

Claire pouts discontentedly when she hears it. She says, "my foot is hurt because of you. I was injured at work. I'll take a few days off."

Hearing this, Leo is silent for a while. After a long time he says unhappily, "why didn't you call me?"

"I..." Claire wants to scold him, but she remembers that she kicked him last night so suddenly she doesn't want to scold him. "I thought you knew it."

Leo gets angry when she finishes. She hurt her foot but she kicked him hard. He says viciously, "if your feet recover, come to work right away." Then he hangs up angrily.

"..."

Claire freezes. She listens to the busy tone in her cell phone for a while and puts it down. Well, it's impossible for her to get along with Leo. They are all in a bad temper.

The two of them are fit to split up.

Kate doesn't find it interesting to stay here. She says she will visit her next time and leaves.

After Kate leaves, Luke also says that he has something to do and leaves after Kate.

So Claire can only watch them leave quickly.

She stays at home all afternoon and falls asleep unconsciously. By the time she wakes up, it is already dark.

It's very dark in the room. The lights of passing cars come in occasionally. Claire sees that the house next door is bright but her house is dark.

At this time, she feels very lonely. She hasn't had that mood for years.

Claire remembers how she felt when Jade married her father and her father died. When she woke up, it was dark and she was the only one in the big house. The feeling of being abandoned hurt her.

She never feels lonely after she gave birth to Conan. Conan, where are you? Mommy misses you so much.

Claire curls up and sits quietly in the dark.

When Claire almost forgets the time, the doorbell rings suddenly. She limps towards the door. Because she can't see in the dark, she is cut and her injured foot is touched.

So when Claire limps to the door, she almost falls. She turns on the light and opens the door.

When she sees the man outside, she can't help screaming, "Why are you here?"

Leo glances at the room and is not satisfied with her reaction. "Why can't it be me? Are you surprised to see me? Is your lover here?"

Leo is talking nonsense. Claire wants to ignore him. She stands in the doorway to keep Leo out. "President Howard, what do you want to do here tonight?"

"Can't I come here?" Leo raises his eyebrows and sneers.

"..." Claire is speechless.

Leo pushes Claire away and says unhappily, "good dogs don't get in the way. Let me in."

You are the dog!

Claire is angry and can't help retorting, "how can you call a woman a dog? You're shameless!"

Hearing this, Leo gives her a cold look and suddenly smiles. His smile makes Claire tremble. "Yeah, you're not a dog. A dog doesn't kick people at that time!"

Leo mentions what happened last night, so Claire can't help being embarrassed and blushing. It was really her fault last night. She calmed down and thought that if Leo was hurt, he might kill her.

She asks cautiously, "I was wrong last night. Are you ok?"

"You can try me." Leo sneers. Then he says coldly, "bad woman, if you are more cruel next time, I will not have children."

Although Claire knows Leo intends it, she can't help laughing at his acting. They quarrel for a while. Finally Leo impatiently pulls Claire to the sofa and orders her to sit down.

"What do you want to do?" Claire looks at Leo uneasily. She doesn't know why he comes here today.

However, Leo just starts to take off his coat without saying a word, and then he starts to lift his sleeves.

"What do you want to do?" Leo upsets Claire. She wriggles and tries to back off but is stopped by Leo.

"Don't move!"

With that, Leo squats down in front of Claire. He looks at her injured foot carefully and reaches out to lift it to his knee.

"..."

Claire freezes. What is he doing?
