“Leo, I’m engaged to you. You’re cheating!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo says coldly, “so what? Tracy, do you think I’m going to marry a woman who’s wary of her fiance? Stop dreaming. If you want to cancel the engagement, I can agree at any time! Although Wilson Group helped me, I won’t let you blackmail me at will!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo!” Tracy sounds like she is hit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t stand hearing this. According to Leo, she is a mistress who breaks other people’s engagement. She doesn’t want to embarrass herself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire tries to pull the headphones off, but Conan stops her. He shakes his head and motions for her to continue listening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Claire has no choice but to continue listening to the quarrel between the two people in the office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo! I know men like freshness and nostalgia, but I don’t mind. I won’t break my engagement with you! I believe that after a while, you will be bored with that old woman! Then you will come back to me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy finally chooses to compromise. Her voice is determined and approaching. Conan may have put the monitor at Leo’s desk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t care. As long as I don’t break my engagement, I’m your fiancee!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Their voices gradually become clear. Leo sneers and warns, “if I find out again that you arrange spies in my company, you don’t need to talk nonsense. I will tell your father directly that I want to cancel my engagement with you! Tracy, I want you to know what my bottom line is!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo…” Tracy’s voice becomes soft and aggrieved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Get out of here! Stay away from me!” Leo sounds disgusted. It seems that Tracy tries to seduce him but fails. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo says coldly, “I warn you not to hurt them. If I know, I’ll get back at you and Wilson Group!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo! Is that woman really important to you?” Tracy says incredulously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s none of your business!” Leo says coldly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last they talk but Claire pulls the earphone off and doesn’t want to listen any more. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It doesn’t make any sense what it turns out to be. Tracy will hate them. Every woman can’t stand her husband having a mistress. What’s more, that woman has a son! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Every woman is not indifferent to it. Even Claire can’t accept this matter of principle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t care if they will get divorced or Leo values them. Claire is afraid her son will be hurt by Tracy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She looks at Conan, uneasy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan may feel Claire’s uneasiness. He also takes off the headphones and takes Claire’s hand. He seems to give her strength in silence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire bends and puts Conan in her lap. She hugs him and thinks, Conan, Mommy won’t let you get hurt. Mommy will definitely protect you. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan hugs Claire in silence. He guesses Claire’s concerns, but he is especially confident in his own safety. With his intelligence, ordinary people can’t hurt him at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan is just worried that because of it, Mommy and Daddy have a gap. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just then the door of the office is suddenly opened. Claire releases Conan and looks in the direction of the office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy comes out angrily. She looks at the front desk of the secretary and stares at Claire. She seems to be threatening her! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then her high heels hit the floor hard. She swaggers to the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After Tracy leaves, Leo comes out of the office. He recovers the gentleness he has only when he faces Claire and Conan. He doesn’t know that Claire and Conan have heard everything that happened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seems that nothing happened just now. Leo smiles and says to Conan, “do you want to play in my office? There’s the book you didn’t finish reading this morning.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” Conan smiles happily. He climbs off Claire’s lap and runs to Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Since Leo thinks nothing has happened, he can pretend that he doesn’t know anything and continue to maintain a relaxed relationship between them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire watches anxiously as Conan follows Leo into the office. Before he leaves, Leo reassures her with his eyes and smiles. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, only Claire knows how worried she is about Conan’s safety. She knows what kind of woman Tracy is. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She is vengeful and possessive and vain. You can’t offend such women because they will use the most despicable means to achieve their goals. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She has to find a way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire thinks all afternoon but doesn’t come up with a way. She wants to leave Leo directly, but she thinks of Conan’s request. But if she doesn’t leave, she can’t come up with a good solution. Claire is upset. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They have dinner together in the evening. In this way, Claire has the illusion that they are a family. Although it’s true, she can’t admit it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After dinner, Leo wants to go back to the apartment with them, but Claire refuses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo has been so close to them lately. Others will talk about them. Their behavior today is misunderstood. She can’t make people think she’s Leo’s mistress. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She knows Leo’s mind. He hopes for such a result. So she can promise to be with him, but Claire can’t. She has to control how often Leo meets them, or sooner or later they will really be together. At that time, she will hate herself. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
