Claire is most afraid of this. Leo’s eyes make her particularly uncomfortable. Claire asks uneasily, “me? What happened to me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo looks at her seriously for a long time. They have a long stand off. Leo chuckles and says, “nothing. I just want to ask you where you found your son. Do you have any other friends in America?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is angry but helpless at Leo’s actions. Does Conan inherit him so he likes to play tricks on people? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He is serious one second, but he smiles at you the next. Claire doesn’t like to play tricks on people. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire gets nervous when Leo finishes, but she thinks she doesn’t need to hide. She has friends in America like Kate and Bryce. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Claire can’t tell Leo. She can only vaguely say, “yes, I do have friends in America. Before, my friend saw that my son looked like me, so he took him over and didn’t tell me for a while. He came to my house several times and found that I was not at home and didn’t have my cell phone number, so he had to wait until today to hand over my son to me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Just like that?” Leo asks in surprise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at Leo and asks, “or else it?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She can’t say Luke took her son. Thinking about the reason why Luke took Conan, she has a headache. She knows that Luke is kind, so she doesn’t blame him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But she can’t tell Leo, or he will suspect and she may be exposed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo thinks a lot had happened. Claire looks calm so he can’t doubt it. He can only say helplessly, “well, what are you going to do in the future?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Future?” Claire freezes. She hasn’t thought about it yet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You said you refused me because you went back to America just to find your son. Now you find your son and you can’t go back to France. Can you be with me?” Leo looks at Claire and asks earnestly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t really think about these things. When she was in France, she wanted to live in peace. She didn’t want to marry anyone. She just wanted to quietly watch Conan grow up and get married. Then she could live a good life. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This is the future she plans for herself, but unexpectedly, she underestimates Conan’s demand for paternal love. She didn’t expect Conan to be so eager to be with his daddy and he is so naughty. So her happy life is broken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She really doesn’t figure out what she is going to do in the future. There will be many changes. Who can guarantee that things will remain the same? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire shakes her head helplessly and says regretfully, “I don’t know. Let it be.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t you try with me?” Leo asks again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire glances at Leo. She firmly refuses. “No. I have made up my mind that I will never marry again in my life. I’ll raise Conan. As long as he lives well, I’m satisfied.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If Conan are here at the moment, he will be moved by Claire’s maternal love, but he is not here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo can’t help frowning. He looks at Claire and says seriously, “but Conan needs fatherly love. I am not his natural father, but I promise I will treat him as my own natural son.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Your own son? You deserve it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if it’s true, she paid a lot for Conan. She looked after him at night when he couldn’t sleep and cried. She raised Conan. She’s been taking care of Conan! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What did Leo give? He’s here pretending that he’s sacrificed a lot! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t need it! Leo doesn’t deserve it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, he doesn’t need paternal love.” Claire says coldly and firmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why not?” Leo frowns. He thinks of his childhood experience. He criticizes Claire, “you say I don’t care how others feel. Have you considered your son’s feelings? Do you want to make him feel inferior and ridiculed all his life?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo!” Claire is upset by Leo’s words. She suddenly gets up from the sofa and stares down at Leo angrily, “this is my family business. It’s none of your business!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Because it’s your family business and I like you, I have to interfere!” Leo stands up, too. At first Claire looks down on Leo, but now he looks down on Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks up at Leo, but she’s not afraid at all. She yells, “why? Leo, you’re just an outsider in my eyes! As long as I don’t agree, you have no right to interfere in my family affairs! You are not even my friend. Why are you here to educate me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Claire!” Leo roars and looks serious. He seems really angry. “Why are you angry with me? You don’t grow up in a single parent family. You don’t understand the bitterness of children who grow up in a single parent family. You are very selfish now. You don’t think about your son at all! Claire, you are too childish!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” Claire purses her lips and stares at Leo. She tries to hold back her tears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She doesn’t grow up in a single parent family? Ha? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ha ha, it’s so funny. Who made her lose her mother when she was young? Doesn’t she grow up in a single parent family? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even though her father married Jade when she was in college, she was still a child without a mother’s love. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
