“There’s no need. The people of Juan will take care of you.”
These words, let Ashley breathe a smothering, also let Claire double fist clench tightly.
“You still have contact with Juan?”
“... Yes.”
“Oh, Ashley, I’ve been kept in the dark by you.”
Claire’s smile is cold and ironic, while Ashley is biting her lips, saying nothing.
“What are you waiting for? Send Miss Ashley away.”
Soon, subordinate comes in and takes Ashley away. Only Leo and Claire are left in the room.
Although he is angry in his heart, seeing Claire’s desperate appearance, Leo couldn’t bear it. He
comes to her and raises his hand to touch her shoulder.
But as soon as he touches it, Claire shakes off his hand.
“You know it from beginning to end, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“You know the information will cause you trouble. Why don’t you stop me?”
“I just want to see what position I have in your heart. I am Fanciful before you hands over the offer, but
it turns out...”
Slightly drooping eyes, the Leo tone is flat, but a dead silence.
With a bleak smile, Claire asks, “Are you satisfied with the result? It’s nice to watch me make the wrong
decision and then criticize me on the high ground?”
“If you told me the truth earlier, I would not give Ashley the information, let alone take her to Howard’s
home, or let our relationship become like this!”
Standing on the opposite side of Claire, Leo is only an arm away from her, but feels that their hearts
are so far away.
“You are disappointed because Ashley cheats you and even joins hands with Juan, not because she
wants you to give her the information, right?”
Claire wants to deny Leo’s words, but her lips move. Claire doesn’t make any sound.
“Claire, do you think I’m immortal? Can I deal with those blows and setbacks at all?”
Raising her hand, Claire turns her head and says, “I don’t think so.”
“I hope you can know that I am just an ordinary person who will fail, be framed, and even Death, I am
not omnipotent.”
With that, Leo leaves the room, while Claire sits on the sofa powerless and closes her eyes painfully.
...
Conan has been staring at the door of the room and finds that Claire has come out, and immediately
runs past.
“Mommy?”
Looking at Conan calmly, Claire asks, “What’s up?”
Reaching out to his ear, Conan says solemnly, “I have made a statement in advance that I don’t know
what Daddy is going to do. Everything is Daddy’s own idea. I’m also innocent.”
“You are Leo’s son. It’s normal to help him.”
“It’s not normal. It’s not normal at all. I don’t help Daddy. Mommy, you have to believe me!”
“Well, I believe you.”
Claire’s light tone is not convincing at all.
“Well, you don’t want to be involved in adult affairs. Don’t you say that there are activities in school
recently. Prepare well.”
“Can you join Daddy in the parent-child sports meeting?”
Claire shakes her head and says, “Mommy is a little tired recently. I want to have a good rest and you
are better find someone else to replace me.”
“Mommy, take a rest. The sports meeting won’t be held until half a month later. Other children are all
parents. I don’t want to be a stranger.”
“Then, wait and see.”
With that, Claire turns around and leaves, leaving Conan with a worried face.
“Ah, it’s clear that Ashley has been solved. How can I feel that things are getting worse?”
...
Luke calls Kate and asks her to come to Howard’s home for a meeting.
Arriving at Howard’s home at the appointed time, Kate finds that Luke and Conan are not the only ones
waiting for her.
“Here you are, aunt Kate. Come and sit down.”
Warmly greet Kate. Conan personally pours water for tea. His attitude is very good.
What’s the matter with this son of this guy?
Kate sits down in disbelief, and at the same time looks at Luke and asks, “What’s the matter with this
child?”
Luke shrugs helplessly, says, “Of course, there is a request for you.”
Sure enough, what can I do to help Conan?
Looking at Conan, Kate asks with a smile, “Let me guess. Do you want to learn how to drive?”
“Of course not, aunt Kate. Don’t you think the atmosphere here is a little strange?”
Weird?
Kate looks around, then Strokes her arm and murmurs, “I haven’t felt it yet, but it seems strange that
you say so. Oh, by the way, what about Claire? Why don’t I see her?”
“Mommy is in the room.”
“Tell her I’m here. Let her pick me up.”
“I’m afraid not, Mommy... She...”
“She is ill?”
Conan shakes his head and says, “No, Mommy is very good, but she and Daddy...”
Conan doesn’t finish, but Kate understands what he meant.
“No, these two guys are still in the cold war?”
Conan nods busily and says, “Yes, there is no sign of easing at all.”
“Then I’ll talk to Claire and enlighten her by the way.”
Hearing Kate’s words, Conan hurriedly clenches his fist and cheers for her, saying, “Come on, you are
shouldering the arduous task now. The happiness of the three of us depends on you.”
Kate looks at Conan suspiciously and asks, “Your happiness is understandable. But what does it have
to do with Luke and me?”
“Daddy is not happy, uncle Luke has no good life, which also affects your happiness index. So, Daddy's
mood affects the three of us.”
“That makes sense. Well, I’ll try. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Kate confidently goes upstairs and Conan watches her figure leave below, murmuring, “I hope aunt
Kate can really help Mommy.”
After rubbing Conan’s hair, Luke gives him a warm smile.
Upstairs--
Reaching out and knocking at the door, Kate goes into the room and lowers her voice and asks,
“Madam, do you need tea now?”
“I don’t...” Looking back, Claire sees Kate and put down the book and says, “It’s you, when did you
come?”
“Just now,” when she comes to Claire’s side, Kate picks up Claire’s book and turns it over. She says,
“It’s boring to read alone. Go out and have a look with me.”
“No, it’s too hot outside. It’s cooler in the room.”
“Although it’s a little hot, the flowers in the garden are blooming. They’re very beautiful. Shall we pick
some petals to make the sugar stained flowers?”
“No interest. Go on your own.”
“Hey, don’t be so lifeless. It’s not a big deal. In our whole life, we’ll meet some bad friends. Let's not
socialize with them. Why let they affect your life?”
“| don't...” Looking back, Claire sees Kate and put down the book and says, “It’s you, when did you
come?”
“Just now,” when she comes to Claire’s side, Kate picks up Claire’s book and turns it over. She says,
“It's boring to read alone. Go out and have a look with me.”
“No, it’s too hot outside. It’s cooler in the room.”
“Although it’s a little hot, the flowers in the garden are blooming. They’re very beautiful. Shall we pick
