Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 390

Kate hears Claire’s offer and seems interested. She thinks for a moment and says, “yes, I have a lot to tell you.”

Claire sniggers and says casually, “it must be about Luke.”

Kate doesn’t speak. After a long time, she says, “are you going to cheat me again this time? I already know that last time you helped Luke cheat me.”

Maybe Luke told Kate that night.

Claire says decisively, “no, I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I miss you.”

Kate seems to think something’s wrong. She questions, “you should be with Leo recently. What happened to you and Leo? What is your relationship now?”

Kate is a real idiot. She doesn’t pay any attention to social news. Everyone has seen an interview with Howard Group’s President Howard and Claire, but Kate doesn’t know anything.

But Claire thinks it’s good. So she lies, “I’m in trouble, so I want to talk to you...”

Kate smiles and says, “do you want to drink with me again?”

Claire’s eyes roll. It’s a good choice to call Kate and Luke to a pub with an ambiguous atmosphere. So she says, “what about the pub we met last time?”

Kate says, “OK, we’ll meet there in an hour. I will be angry if you lie to me again this time.”

Claire smiles awkwardly and says, “I won’t cheat you twice. Don’t worry. I’ll be on time.”

Claire is afraid of exposure, so she hangs up quickly and takes a breath of relief.

“Kate becomes smart after meeting Luke. She wouldn’t think I was going to cheat her before.”

Claire says to herself.

In fact, Claire has to cheat Kate this time, otherwise how can Luke meet her? They can’t play hide and seek all the time. Although Kate said she will be angry if she lies to her again, she is careless. What’s more, she likes Luke. They have a little misunderstanding.

Claire wants to show Kate the video that night, but it might be better for Luke to explain it to her in person.

Claire makes up her mind and calls Luke.

Luke answers the phone, but Claire finds his voice weak and he seems to have just got up.

“Hello, Luke? I heard that you are playing hide and seek with Kate recently.” Claire snickers and sounds like she’s joking.

Luke says helplessly, “you and Leo have been together. You can’t like gossip. After all, you are now the famous Mrs. Howard.”

Claire has no time to complain about the pain of being a barista. She says directly, “I have a chance to let you meet Kate.”

Luke immediately flatters and says softly, “really? Do you have a way?”

It seems that Luke’s lethargy is really because he can’t see Kate. When he hears that there is a solution, he is reborn.

Claire tells Luke in detail about her conversation with Kate and says, “so you have to date Kate instead of me.”

“What do you think?”

Claire is smug.

But it’s no different from the last plan. Does it count as a plan?

But there is no other solution.

“You are a good cat.” Luke comments.

Claire asks, “what?”

Luke smiles and says, “I mean you’re smart.”

Claire doesn’t want to hang up and wants to talk more, but Luke asks for the address and immediately hangs up. He wants to go to the appointment instead of Claire.

Claire hangs up and gets bored again. To kill time, she continues to make coffee.

...

Luke takes the video from Conan and dresses up. He buys a bunch of roses on the way.

In fact, Luke hesitates to buy these roses. Should he buy carnations or white roses or really red roses?

Luke makes up his mind, so he chooses the red rose.

Claire and Kate have an appointment to meet in a small box in a pub. It’s narrow, but it’s not oppressive. Gentle light and soft music make people feel an ambiguous atmosphere.

Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe Claire did it on purpose, but this place is really suitable for dating.

In order to prevent Kate from turning around and leaving when she sees Luke after entering the door, instead of waiting in the box, Luke puts the rose on the tea table. He puts the video and player in a prominent position on the table. Then he walks out of the box and hid in the corner and waits for Kate to enter.

Luke is eager, so he comes more than half an hour earlier than the appointed time.

For more than half an hour, Luke has been feeling sick. He imagines Kate’s expression or reaction after seeing the video and the scene he explains to her face to face at the box door.

But anyway, Luke always thinks of Kate’s bright but disgusted face.

Luke hasn’t had many girlfriends, but as a rich man, he has experienced many women and each one is of high quality.

Luke has never been coy or unsure about a woman’s reaction.

It just shows that Kate is too important to him. Although Luke has not really expressed his love for Kate, he has to admit to himself that he loves Kate.

It’s probably because he saw Kate’s back in the hospital that day, or everything that happened before, but he doesn’t find out.
