Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 56

These three people chatted in the office for a while, and Ling seems to feel as if he has suddenly become an unwanted presence. He left the office with the excuse of fresh air.

After Ling left, Bryce grabs Claire's hand and sit next to her, anxiously asking, “Has anything happened since you last came home?”

Claire frowns. “Bryce, you said you thought I was your sister now. “

Bryce pauses, startles, as if he were not happy, but in a flash his eyes are filled with tenderness, “Claire, I cannot let you get hurt just because I think of you as my sister.”

Claire says, “Leo's good to me, so you do not have to worry.”

Bryce's eyebrows are all twisted together and he becomes furious. “Claire, when are you going to stop lying to me? I heard some rumors about you.”

Bryce's anger, however, makes Claire feel the long-lost warmth, and that there are people caring about her.

But she soon sobers up in the warmth, “The rumor is hearsay, is not it?”

Bryce said, “You are a very tough person, I have always known that, but you do not have to be strong enough to put yourself in the fire.”

After saying that, Bryce reaches out to touch Claire's cheek, and his action is no less gentle than.

Claire throbs a little, but do not look away. “Do you even think I am that dirty woman? How can you tough me?”

Bryce shudders with his outstretched hand resting in the air, and he smiles wryly.

Claire looks out at the sky and it is getting dark before she knows it. Claire apologized. “It is getting late. I should get back.”

When she had finished, she was ready to get up, and Bryce hurries to help. “I’ll send you home.”

Claire gently refuses. “Forget it. Ling is probably downstairs. He will just take me back.”

Bryce frowns. “How can I let someone else take you back when you are like this?”

It is clear from his words that he does not seem to have much affection for Ling, or at least mistrust.

Claire explained, “Ling is a very nice boy, not like other... “

Bryce frowns. “Other men? Do you mean me?”

Claire waves hurriedly. “Of course not, it’s just a figure of speech.”

Unexpectedly, Ling suddenly enters the door. The conversation was probably heard by Ling.

Claire looks at Ling awkwardly, only to find that he looks innocent and even says to Claire, “Let Bryce give us a ride.”

Claire could not refuse.

They go downstairs together, with a smile on Ling’s lips from time to time. As he walks on the steps, he slips carelessly and loses his center of gravity and falls forward.

Bryce suddenly reaches for Ling's arm and jerks it to steady Ling. And Ling’s body is a moment back is steady fall into Bryce's arms, intentionally or unintentionally.

Claire gapes, and then chuckles, while Bryce holds Claire in one hand and holds Ling, a big boy in one hand.

Bryce gives a white look at Ling and says unhappily, “Ling, are you going to lie here and sleep?”

Ling pulls himself out of Bryce's arms embarrassedly, “Maybe the opening ceremony was too tough, and that makes me really tired.”

Claire is already in a funk, and Bryce just frowns and sighs.

Bryce drives off without saying a word after sending Claire home. As soon as Claire gets out of the car, she sees a pair of cold eyes staring at her.

“Brother, we are back.” Ling is always a happy person, even if he sees Leo's cold face.

I really surrender to Ling. Claire thinks, but without looking at Leo, she walks past him. She does not forgive Leo so quickly for all the bad things he did during the day.

As she passes Leo, he suddenly reaches out and pulls Claire into his arms.

Claire struggles frantically, screaming. “Leo, what is wrong with you? Did not you take your medicine at night, you sick jerk? “

“Shut up!” Leo suddenly roars out, pointing to where Bryce's car has disappeared, and asks, “Slut, do you think I am blind? Are you brought back by another man at night? Do you think my place is a nest for a bitch like you?”

Claire hardly bothers to explain it to this psycho, so she bends down and bites Leo's hand.

Leo has been preventing her from doing so for a long time, and he holds her jaw with his hands like a pair of pliers, “Not only are you a slut, but also a mad dog who loves to bite.”

Claire's jaw is pinched so hard. She is painful, and she looks up and pants, and her face flushed.

Ling is already stunned. He knew there was some tension between his brother and Claire, but he did not expect it to be so intense.

Ling frowned and said, “What are you doing, brother? And you scold her for such malicious remarks, are you drunk? You...”

“Leave it alone, she is a slut, and she is out there all day hooking up with men. Well, you are not even left alone…” Leo uses more strength, so Claire is too painful to say a word.

Ling sees the scene just to feel astonished. “I do not know what you are talking about, brother. She did not do anything to be sorry for you.”

Leo sneers, “Oh, yeah? One man and one woman spent more than an hour alone in Bryce's office, which is said to be that they did not do something to be sorry for me?”

Ling stops, squeaks, knowing that he could not explain it even he has ten mouths to speak, but he hurries, “Whatever you think, you must let go of her.”

Leo throws down a sentence to Ling, “You go back to rest, I do not want to talk to you more.” And he then lets go of Claire's jaw.

As soon as Claire is released, she taps Leo and shouts, “What is wrong with you, Leo? Why are you so shameless? You must die! You...”

Leo ignores it, but picks Claire up in the middle of her arms and suddenly reaches her ear and says softly, “Listen to me tonight and I will forgive you.”

The sudden gentleness of voice softens Claire's heart, but she frowns, “What do you want me to do?”

Leo picks Claire up, leaves the house and puts her in the car. “Do not make any noise, or you will make a big joke.”

Claire is puzzled, especially when Leo finally left her a charming and gentle smile, which was so strange that she felt terrible.

However, Leo slams the door shut and goes away in Ling's dumbness.
