Claire is adamant and Leo compromises. He takes Claire and Conan to the door and turns back to the
elevator. He smiles and waves goodbye to them.
Claire smiles and waves. She takes a deep breath when the elevator door closes. Leo finally leaves.
She spends a lot of energy dealing with him.
Claire takes out the key and opens the door. She looks down and changes her shoes, but she doesn’t
see Conan freeze when he comes in.
After she changes her shoes, Conan suddenly rushes to the sofa and shouts happily, “Godfather!
You’re back home, too!”
“Ha ha, Conan, long time no see.” A magnetic voice bursts out laughing.
Claire freezes at the sound. She slowly looks up and watches in shock as Juan picks up Conan
happily. He’s holding Conan high and turning around.
They haven’t seen each other for a long time and are very happy. Claire sees them in the distance like
a beautiful landscape.
Claire’s a little nervous. She doesn’t know why Juan chooses to come to her at this time.
Juan is tired and puts down Conan. He squats down and pinches Conan’s nose. He smiles and says to
Conan, “Conan, you are not obedient. You went back to America without telling Mommy and Godfather.
Should I spank you?”
Only in front of Juan, Conan is like a real child, because Juan gives him the rare father love when he is
young and lets Conan have the goal of looking forward.
For Conan, Juan is like his father. Of course it was when he didn’t know he has a biological father.
Although he later knew that Leo is his daddy, Conan’s respect for Juan is still indispensable.
Now Juan is holding his nose. He pushes Juan’s big hand with his little hand and says, “godfather, I
know I’m wrong. Don’t pinch. I can’t breathe.”
“Then I should punish you.” Juan says seriously.
“Godfather...” Juan is serious, so Conan looks at him tearfully and tries to make him feel sorry for him.
“Ha ha, don’t be aggrieved. People will think I hit you.” Juan laughs and lets go of the hand that is
pinching Conan’s nose. He puts him on his lap.
Juan doesn’t look like a boss at the moment. He is as amiable as a father to Conan.
Claire freezes for a long time. She walks slowly towards them and says, “Juan...”
With that, Juan smiles and looks at her. He says apologetically, “Claire, I’m sorry. I broke into your
house again without permission. Are you angry?”
Juan’s words remind Claire of the embarrassing topic they had last met. She wants to talk but is
interrupted by Conan.
“Again?” Conan looks at Juan suspiciously. “Godfather, have you been back home for a long time? So
why don’t you come to see Conan earlier?”
Juan rubs his hair punitively and scolds him, “because you are naughty and ran to Mommy’s friend’s
house. Your mommy and Godfather can’t find you.”
“Haha, I’m wrong.” Conan smiles mischievously. He sticks out his tongue to show his innocence.
“...” Claire stands by and doesn’t know what to say.
Juan takes a look at Claire, and there is a strange flash in her eyes. He asks quietly, “have you had
dinner?”
“Yes.” Claire nods awkwardly.
When she faces Juan, she always feels that she can not lift her head and is very sorry for him. What
will he think if he knows they had dinner with Leo just now?
However, Juan’s expression does not change. He says regretfully, “It’s a pity I’ve been waiting for you
to come back so I haven’t had dinner yet. Claire, can you cook dinner for me?”
“Ah?” Claire is a little surprised.
Before Claire can speak, Conan says, “Godfather, you let Mommy cook dinner for you. Don’t you ever
know her cooking?”
“Don’t say that.” Juan says a little reproachfully, “your mommy is really good at cooking. You are picky.”
“What? Her cooking...” Conan wants to retort, but when he sees Juan's eyes, he shuts up.
Only Juan in the world can subdue Conan.
They are talking all the time and Claire is standing there and a little embarrassed. Juan and Conan
used to talk like this, but now she thinks she’s redundant.
Claire says helplessly, “OK, I’ll make dinner for you. But I can’t guarantee the taste.”
“It’s OK. As long as you make it, I’ll eat it.” Juan smiles mildly at Claire.
“Can I cook you a bowl of noodles?” Claire tries to talk to him in the same tone as before.
“I don’t mind.” Juan says with a smile and looks at her affectionately.
Claire is disappointed to see that. The way they talk can go back to the past, but they can’t go back or
think that nothing has happened.
Claire is a little frustrated but she doesn’t know what to say. She has to turn around and walk into the
kitchen and cook dinner for Juan.
Looking at the way they get along, Conan feels a little strange. He feels that they are speaking less
naturally than before. Why does Mommy look so stiff?
Conan is confused but doesn’t think much about it. He continues to chat with Juan and asks when he
returned home.
Juan turns his attention to Conan and laughs and chats with him.
Claire comes out of the kitchen with two dishes. Juan jokes, “I didn’t expect you to care about me. You
don’t really just give me a bowl of noodles.”
“Come on,” Claire tries to get back to her normal voice. She doesn’t want the atmosphere to be too
awkward or Conan to see the difference. She jokingly says to Juan, “if I only made you a bowl of
noodles, Conan won’t spare me. He cares more about you than me.”
“| don’t mind.” Juan says with a smile and looks at her affectionately.
