“Wow! Great!” Conan cheers happily. He looks like a happy child. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke smiles. Sure enough, the child is the child. They are easy to satisfy. That’s great. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke takes Conan to the restaurant for dinner. While waiting for the dish, Luke asks casually, “Conan, didn’t you say that your mommy will return home today? It’s been a whole day and I haven’t heard from your mommy.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Conan puts his hands on the table and holds his face. He looks aside and seems to be thinking about how to answer, “I think she has a lot of things to do and is very busy, so she delayed the time to return home. Uncle Luke, don’t worry. My mommy won’t get lost.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke suppresses his smile. He is amused by Conan’s naive remarks. He dares to come back alone. Does he have to worry about Claire being lost as an adult? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke gives a slight cough and says seriously, “in that case, do you have your mommy’s mobile number? I’ll call her and let her know you’re here, so she won’t worry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan thinks and nods. Then he recites Claire’s cell phone number. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You remember your mommy’s cell phone number!” Luke is slightly surprised that Conan can recite Claire’s cell phone number without stopping. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Of course.” With a proud smile, Conan says triumphantly, “Mommy said that in order to prevent me from getting lost when I went out, she asked me to recite her mobile phone number.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Your mommy is so smart.” Luke believes Conan and praises. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And Conan is very happy. Claire didn’t say that. He was born smart, so he remembers Claire’s cell phone number. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What’s more, he has long known that his mommy has returned to the United States and works in Howard Group! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan is a computer geek, so he knows Claire’s whereabouts clearly, but Conan can’t tell Luke about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke calls Claire but Claire doesn’t answer. After a while, he regretfully puts down his cell phone and says to Conan, “your mommy didn’t answer the phone.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Conan shrugs and pouts, “maybe she’s busy. You can call her when she’s free.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, that’s the only way.” Luke says helplessly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just then, the dish is served. Conan orders his favorite dish. Luke brings him food. Conan cheers with joy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at Conan with a smile, but he’s a little frustrated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan is really Leo’s son. If he hides him and doesn’t tell his best friend, is he too much? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But if he tells Leo, Conan’s mother, Claire, will be involved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If Leo asks him, he has to tell the truth. Leo’s body may not be able to stand it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Leo was just out of the hospital, he saw Claire’s picture and asked him who she was. He thought she was familiar and began to recall. Then he had a headache and fainted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Since then, Luke has taken all the Claire related things from Leo’s home. The doctor said it’s better not to remind him of the past. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So today he lies to Leo. Even if one day he really recalls and blames him, he is not afraid. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at the lovely Conan. He tries to forget his troubles and make him happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day, Claire arrives at the company early. She sorts out what she needs for work today. An angry woman rushes over from the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The woman goes to the front desk and puts her bag on the counter. She yells angrily at Claire, “where’s Leo? I want to see him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire frowns. The woman in front of her is wearing famous brand clothes. She has orange hair and a lot of makeup. Her strong perfume is disgusting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you have an appointment, miss?” Claire says calmly, holding back the discomfort in her stomach. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Appointment? I need an appointment?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The woman laughs as if she has heard a joke. She suddenly lowers her head and glares at Claire, “do you know who I am? Do I need to make an appointment to see him?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Miss.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire wants to take a deep breath, but the air is still filled with the smell of perfume, which makes her unable to breathe. She immediately feels sick and says seriously, “if you don’t make an appointment, you can’t see our Sir.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Who do you think you are? You are just a secretary. How dare you stop me!” The woman points at Claire and scolds her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is helpless. She looks at the woman coldly and is enraged by her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Damn! She comes to the company early in the morning and is scolded. And it’s about Leo. Why should she help Leo? Why doesn’t this woman go straight to Leo? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire stands up and looks at the woman. They look at each other. The woman is fierce and Claire is angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last the woman loses. She glares discontentedly at Claire and says angrily, “what are you looking at! Haven’t you ever seen a beautiful woman?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at her for a long time and calmly picks up the phone and makes an internal call. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Claire ignore her and make a phone call, the woman knows she wants to inform others. She says in a flustered voice, “what are you going to do? I’m Brown Group’s daughter! If you want to do something to me, I will punish you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire takes the phone calmly. When the phone is connected, she says directly, “there’s a woman making trouble in the Sir’s office. Call a security guard here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You!” The woman is angry, too. She wants to smash Claire with her bag, but she thinks it is valuable, so she puts it down. She yells angrily, “how dare you call security?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
