Although Juan has a point, Claire can't help but retort, "but this is the result of our joint efforts. We should celebrate. It is inevitable. What's more, I'm their boss."
"You have to think from a different perspective," Juan says casually as he starts the car. "I can stop many men's pursuit for you by pretending to be your boyfriend. Isn't that a good thing? We did the same in France."
"That's right," Conan echoes. "Godfather has a point. You can only be Daddy's."
"..."
When Conan finishes, Claire and Juan are silent.
Juan's face changes a little. His hands on the steering wheel clench slightly. He is immediately disappointed. Can he only be Conan's godfather? Can't he be his father?
Claire is silent because she is embarrassed. Conan is simple. He is still a child.
But it's not Conan's fault. Even Claire didn't realize Juan likes her. She and Conan both think Juan is just a very important relative.
But he can't compare with Conan's biological father.
Suddenly the atmosphere is a little stiff. Conan, who was born with intelligence, smells a different smell and finds that Claire and Juan are sensitive to such topics.
But he pretends to be calm and naive and asks, "what's the matter? Am I wrong?"
"You are right." Finally Juan eases the awkward atmosphere. He smiles naturally and says to Conan, "your mommy can only belong to the person who will marry your mommy later. He's your daddy."
There is nothing wrong with what he said, but if you savor it carefully, you will find that there is something in it.
Conan seems to have found something shocking. He raises a clear smile on the corner of his mouth, but he says with an innocent smile, "godfather, you understand me!"
Claire in the back seat is impatient. She protests discontentedly, "Conan, have you asked me for my opinion? I didn't say I am going to get married again. Have you decided for me? I'll spank you."
"If you spank me, my godfather will help me!" Conan raises his little nose and says arrogantly.
"You!" Claire stares at Conan angrily, but Juan begins to laugh.
"Juan! Conan is spoiled by you. He is my son! He listens to you but not to me!" Claire says angrily.
"Ha ha. Men's world is only understood by men, Conan, do you think so?" Juan laughs happily. He looks at Conan as he drives and asks him.
Conan, of course, nods.
Claire is angry. If it isn't for Conan to be her son and she has watched him grow up, Claire wonders if he is her own son!
He even helps outsiders! He is too naughty. He is an asshole like his own father!
But Claire has to educate Conan. She can't let Conan get close to Leo, or he will become a inhuman bastard like Leo!
...
Juan takes Claire and Conan to a fancy restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is on the top floor of a tall building. In the evening, you can see the brightly lit city below when you eat. It's a pleasure to enjoy the evening breeze and savor the steak, red wine and dessert.
But you need to book in advance and the meal is expensive. Ordinary people don't have the condition to enjoy a dinner here at all.
Juan didn't want to order red wine. To celebrate Claire's success today, Juan takes Conan out to dinner and picks up Claire at the company and orders a bottle of red wine for dinner.
Every woman wants to have a romantic and tasteful man, but Claire is still indifferent.
Conan likes Claire better at dinner. In order to make Mommy not angry, he makes a magic trick for Claire.
Claire is amused by Conan's rose. She notices that one rose on the vase on the table is missing. It should have been three, but now there are two left.
But it's hard for Conan to be so considerate. Claire embraces it. She pinches Conan's face and says happily, "you are the most naughty."
"Ha ha. Mommy, do you love me more?" Conan smiles mischievously.
"Um." Claire snorts in response.
Her reaction makes Conan more complacent. He eats chicken chops happily, but he thinks that if you know what I have done, you will not say that.
Conan amuses her. Claire thinks Conan and Leo are different. Although Conan has a bad personality and likes to play pranks, it is because he is a child.
Claire compares him with Leo. She believes that her son must be of good nature. Conan is not as cold and cruel as Leo.
They enjoy their dinner as usual. After dinner, Juan asks Claire if she wants to go out to play. Claire shakes her head.
She works overtime for several days in a row so she is tired.
They come home. While sleeping, Conan murmurs in Claire's arms, "Mommy, I miss Daddy."
"..." Claire is a little upset to hear Conan. When they were in France, Conan didn't miss his father so much. Although he didn't know who his own father was at that time, he was happy and carefree.
But now...
Claire can't help sighing. If she can, she would rather not let her heart soften and tell Conan the truth.
However, the children need to be loved by their father. Maybe Leo is right. She can't let Conan grow up in a single parent family, which will cause some psychological damage to him.
