After two dry laughs, Claire takes out the flowers and throws them into the garbage can and says, “I’ll
send you some fresh flowers later.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have the habit of enjoying flowers anyway.” With one hand around the knee,
Ashley asks, “Do you have something on your mind?”
“It’s nothing to worry about, that is to say, what I promised you has been missing all the time. I feel very
embarrassed.”
“Things are not going well?”
Claire nods.
“Claire, I’m very grateful to you for helping me in your capacity. Even if you can’t do it, it doesn’t matter.
After all, that man is Leo. It’s normal that you can’t do anything.”
“It has nothing to do with who the other party is. I will try my best to do what I promised you.” Claire
swears, “I’ve get a new way. Give me some more time.”
“Don’t force yourself. I can handle it myself.”
“No, it’s not a big deal. I just haven’t figured out why Leo is so persistent. It has nothing to do with him.
It’s so nice to get the evidence out early and be happy.”
Ashley’s eyes flash and she says, “Maybe Leo is angry with you.”
“I think so too. I can think of no other reason than this.” Claire is so angry that she says, “It’s true that
there is a mistake ahead of him. He doesn’t realize his mistake, but intensified it. It’s too much.”
Looking up at Claire, Ashley says, “Claire, don’t affect your relationship because of my business.”
“No, I have to let Leo realize his mistake and not go on willfully.” Claire also insisted, “The world doesn’t
always revolve around him. If he doesn’t realize the problem, there will be conflicts between us.”
“I see. You have different values, don’t you?”
Claire scratches her head and hesitates, “I think so.”
“If so, the problem is serious. Two people can have different living habits and personal preferences, but
different values can easily lead to conflicts.”
This makes Claire nervous and asks busily, “Why do you say that?”
“For example. I am a policeman. My duty is to catch the bad people, stop them from doing evil and
threaten the society. So, I will never make friends with bad people or even live together.”
“But I’m not a policeman and Leo is not a bad guy.”
“I’m just giving you an example. You don’t have to take the right seat.”
With her eyes fixes on Claire, Ashley says, “In fact, you should have been aware of the values. For
example, you think some people are innocent, but Leo thinks it’s heinous and even kills them.”
Claire nods in approval of the sentence.
Ashley sighs, looks at Claire sympathetically and says, “You, the bitter days are still behind you.”
Claire’s face is tense and asks, “Why do you say that?”
“The more time you have, the more conflicts you have, the more you will suffer. How deep feeling, can
not help such torture. In the end, lovers becomes a resentful couple and strangers.”
“So horrible?”
Ashley nods first, then shanks her head and says, “Oh, look what I’ve said, as if I’m provoking your
relationship. Well, don’t worry about it, just think I’m talking nonsense.”
Clapping the hand of Ashley, Claire laughs to say, “It doesn’t matter, you just give me proposal,
whether listen to, completely depend on me.”
“You... Don’t you think more?”
Don’t care to shake her head, Claire says, “No, there is a contradiction between me and Leo, but it’s
not as serious as you say. I’ll just listen to it.”
Ashley breathed with relief and says, “That’s good.”
“Well, I’ll go to the garden and fold some fresh flowers.”
“OK.”
Claire walks out of the room with a smile. Just after a turn, the smile on her face gradually disappears.
Leaning against the wall, Claire frowns and wonders if there is such a serious problem between her
and Leo?
...
Conan fiddles with the model on his hands and looks out of the door from time to time.
Five，four，three，tow，one...
Counting down to five, there is a figure at the door. Seeing Conan, she smiles brilliantly.
“Conan, are you thirsty or not? Mummy has just cooked black plum soup. Would you like some?”
“Well, good.”
As soon as the voice fell, a cup of black plum soup is put in Conan’s hand.
“Are you hungry or not? Can Mommy bake you some biscuits? What would you like, chocolate or
strawberry? Well, let’s have some of each.”
Claire says, turning around and going out.
Conan says, “Mommy, are you free today? How come you run to here every twenty minutes?”
“Well, Mommy is afraid you’re hungry.”
“It’s not hungry now, it’s going to last. Mummy, what’s the matter with you? Let’s be frank.”
Gently purses the lower lip, Claire says, “Conan, Can Mommy please you something?”
Hearing Claire’s words, Conan is relieved, leans back in his chair and says, “Look at what Mommy
says, as long as you give me a command, I will do everything for Mommy, even picking the stars in the
sky.”
“Little devil, you mouth is sweet.” Claire is ridiculous and says, “Actually, it’s not too difficult. Just help
me check something and it’s better to copy it.”
Conan’s eyes narrows and asks, “Mommy, would you like me to help you get Mr. Bennett’s crime
certificate?”
Claire shakes her finger and says with a smile, “My son, you are smart!”
“I’m afraid not, Mommy.”
Smile a congealing, Claire discontented with the geological question, “You just said that you can help
me pick stars, now change your mind?”
“I pick the stars, it doesn’t conflict with Daddy’s interests.”
“There is no conflict of interest between copying the criminal certificate and him.”
Conan shakes his head and says, “That’s not necessarily true. I know Mommy wants to help Auntie
Ashley, but you think if Daddy can give it to you, he will not hide it and let alone drag it until now,
causing you to have a cold war.”
“This is the place where I am angry,” says Claire angrily. “He thinks I pay more attention to Ashley than
him, so he deliberately fight against us. It’s really hateful to be childish than a child!”
Looking at Claire, Conan asks, “Does Mommy really think that?”
“Isn’t it?”
“This...”
“Well, don’t give me classes. In a word, do you want to help Mommy or your Daddy?”
Conan scratches his head in embarrassment and says, “I don’t want to choose.”
Smile a congealing, Claire discontented with the geological question, “You just said that you can help
me pick stars, now change your mind?”
“| pick the stars, it doesn’t conflict with Daddy’s interests.”
“There is no conflict of interest between copying the criminal certificate and him.”
Conan shakes his head and says, “That’s not necessarily true. | Know Mommy wants to help Auntie

“Isn't it?”
“This...”

Conan scratches his head in embarrassment and says, “I don’t want to choose.”
