Chapter 188 Concealment and dilemma
“Oh yeah!” Conan cheers excitedly.
Luke walks out with Conan in his arms. On the way, he remembers that children of this age can’t live without their mothers. He can’t help but ask, “Conan, do you miss Mommy?”
“Yes.” Conan blurts out.
Luke immediately raises his eyebrows. “In this case, why don’t you usually say you want to see your mommy?”
“Haha...” Claire smiles shyly. He says cleverly, “I know Mommy hasn’t come to me because she’s busy. I’ll wait for Mommy to pick me up. If I lose my temper, Mommy will worry.”
He is a computer hacker, so he knows Claire’s whereabouts well. He knows what she has done and who she has contacted.
The only thing he can’t figure out is why Luke doesn’t tell Mommy about him. Why does he deliberately hide it? Does he have an ulterior purpose?
But Luke is very kind to him. Conan specifically investigates him and he is really a good man, so he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t dare to ask because he is afraid of revealing.
Since Luke doesn’t want to say it, Conan thinks he has his own problems. He doesn’t mind that he keeps hiding.
And Conan agrees with Luke. He doesn’t tell Mommy about him so Mommy can’t find him. She will stay in the United States and have more contact with Daddy.
Conan even thinks Luke might have the same idea. Does he want Daddy and Mommy to make up?
Conan and Luke don’t know each other’s thoughts.
When Luke hears Conan is sensible and concerns about Mommy, he feels guilty. It’s his fault. A child who misses Mommy can’t see his mommy. He accidentally hurts Conan in order to make Leo and Claire reconcile.
Even though Conan seems naive and carefree, Luke still feels deeply guilty.
He must accompany the child more and make up for him.
Luke takes Conan to the noodle shop that Claire, Kate and he all love.
Before they go in, Luke explains to Conan, “this is the noodle shop that your mommy and Uncle Luke like. The chef here makes super delicious noodles. I like it for many years. I’ll take you to taste it today.”
Thinking of that last time they had dinner together, Luke thinks of Kate, who was dissatisfied with him but endured all the time. He can’t help chuckling and says to Conan, “in fact, besides your mommy and I, a good friend of your mommy also likes it. Her name is Kate. Your mommy and she have been friends for more than ten years. Next time you see your mommy, you can ask her to take you to see that aunt. She’s really a lovely woman.”
Even Luke doesn’t realize how proud he is when he speaks. He seems to be introducing his valuable things to others.
He doesn’t understand, but the clever Conan does. He nods and jokes, “Uncle Luke, you must like aunt Kate, don’t you?”
“No!” Luke freezes and quickly retorts.
He likes Kate? He never thinks about it. He has been single for many years and has forgotten what it feels like to like and love!Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Luke look embarrassed, Conan stops joking. “I’m just kidding. Don’t get excited.”
They have entered the noodle shop when they talk.
Kate is eating noodles happily. Suddenly she hears someone mention her name. She sees Luke come in with a five-year-old boy. She is so shocked that she forgets to swallow the noodles in her mouth.
Luke also sees Kate sitting inside. Because of Conan’s joke, he is stunned to see Kate for a moment. Then he takes Conan to say hello.
“Hi, you’re here, too.”
But Kate puts down her chopsticks directly. She says displeased, “did you mention my name just now? Are you speaking ill of me?”
Usually he doesn’t care. Now he’s with a little kid, but Kate is pissed off at him. The woman is really outspoken.
Luke smiles habitually. When he wants to explain, Conan next to him says, “are you Aunt Kate? We didn’t speak ill of you just now. We were saying Uncle Luke likes you!”
His words shock them.
Luke and Kate look at each other almost at the same time and then look away and dare not look at each other again.
Luke is a little nervous. He unconsciously clenches Conan’s hand. Although he blames Conan, he doesn’t hate it.
Kate is initially shocked by Conan’s words. Then she thinks he is just joking. How could a man like her?
What’s more, if Luke likes her, she’s going to throw up!
How does it feel to be liked by someone you hate?
Kate looks at Conan carefully and finds that the boy is familiar. She asks curiously, “is this your son? Aren’t you unmarried? Has the child’s mother escaped?”
Kate didn’t have much contact with Luke before, so she doesn’t know about his personal affairs.
Luke suddenly freezes. He just told Conan Kate is Claire’s good friend. If he doesn’t explain Conan’s identity to Kate now, he will have a big problem.
First, if Kate knows Conan’s identity and tells Claire, his plan will fail.
Second, he just told Conan that Kate is his mommy’s good friend. He doesn’t know if Conan will expose it. If he now admits that Conan is his own son, Conan will misunderstand him!
Damn it!
