Chapter 229 Conan has a plan
Juan says it looking into Claire’s eyes.
Claire sees in Juan’s eyes the love, the stubbornness and the confidence.
Thinking of Juan’s hatred of Leo, Claire sighs silently. She hates Leo, too, but she can’t be as cruel as Juan. She can only make Leo regret and pay for it.
Before, if Juan told her that he wanted to revenge Leo, she would agree and try to help Juan.
But in the present situation, Claire just sympathizes with Juan. She knows that part of the reason Juan says that is because of her.
Juan hates Leo. Now he hates him more because of her.
Claire thinks Juan is tired. People who are hated by others are not affected, but people who hate others are hurt.
She would like to tell Juan not to hate Leo more because of her, but she is not qualified to blame Juan.
Juan seems to think the same way. He looks at Claire seriously and says, “Claire, haven’t you always hated Leo for killing your father and Bryce? We can work together against him at this opportunity.”
With that, Juan thinks he is crazy. He has always been arrogant and independent. He never thinks he will invite a woman.
But he is so jealous of Leo. Obviously he hurts Claire, but he can keep Claire with him. But he pays a lot for Claire, but Claire doesn’t even look at him.
Juan thinks he must be mad with jealousy.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Claire is also shocked by Juan’s words. Just when she thinks about it, Juan says it. Claire wants to blurt out that she doesn’t want revenge!
Claire is horrified by her ideas. Why does she think that? Since when has her hatred for Leo been decreasing? Is it when she learned Bryce isn’t dead or is it because of their relationship in City B?
Claire laughs at her innocence and shakes her head and says, “Juan, actually Bryce is not dead. He set up the car accident that year. Juan, I don’t want to do something terrible. I hate Leo, but I don’t want him to be extremely miserable.”
Juan thinks Claire is defending Leo. He feels desperate. He looks visibly depressed. Claire finally chooses Leo. Now she wants to give up revenge.
He killed her father!
Juan says disappointed, “Claire, I know. You don’t have to say it.”
What does he know?
Claire looks at Juan confused and wants to hear what he wants to say, but Juan leans wearily on the soft leather seat. He closes his eyes and doesn’t want to go on.
Claire stops asking. She thinks he knows her difficulties so he doesn’t want to talk about revenge.
Juan sends Claire downstairs to her apartment. Claire wants to invite him to dinner, but Juan says he has something to do and refuses.
Claire stands downstairs and watches the car drive away. She thinks their happy time has come to an end.
Since they came back to America, Juan is no longer gentle with her or smiling at her. They seem to have returned to the time when they first met six years ago, but now they have friendship and mutual understanding.
Claire can’t bear to see her good friend look so lonely. She wants to help, but she’s not qualified. If only Juan doesn’t like her.
Claire goes back to the room and sees her computer screen on. Claire is surprised. She turned off the computer before going out. Why is it on now?
When she approaches, Conan’s little figure suddenly appears in the middle of the screen. Claire is stunned and reacts that Conan controlls her computer and sends her a video call.
“Conan, you finally sends your mommy a video call. How are you doing recently?”
Claire looks at her son. It seems that all the unhappiness in these days has disappeared. Claire smiles happily. She sits in front of the computer and looks at her son in the video.
His face is ruddy and he doesn’t lose weight. It seems that he doesn’t worry about food and clothing.
Claire is happy but Conan in the video looks at his mommy seriously and asks, “Mommy, I’m fine, but why do you lose weight and look so depressed?”
Claire almost cries. Her eyes are red and she looks at Conan who is worried about her. She feels warm and moved and says, “Conan, Mommy is OK. I haven’t had a good sleep because I can’t find you recently. Conan, tell me where you are. Mommy will pick you up and take you home!”
Conan shakes his head gravely at Claire’s words. He’s a kid but when he’s serious, he’s like an adult.
Conan says solemnly in a childish voice, “Mommy, don’t lie to Conan. Conan knows everything. I know you are set up by that bad woman. She keeps Daddy by her side and doesn’t let Daddy go to Mommy.”
“Wait...” Claire is shocked at Conan’s words. She can’t respond at all, so she has to interrupt Conan’s words. She asks hesitantly, “Conan, did you just say that Daddy is kept by that bad woman? Is it because of the bad woman that your daddy didn’t come to the company today?”
Does she misunderstand Leo?
“Yes.” Conan replies clearly. He looks angry. “Mommy, she’s too bad. She spread rumors about you in the company and deliberately refused to let Daddy go. She embarrasses you in the company! She’s a bitch!”
Hearing Conan say something that doesn’t fit his age, Claire coughs and teaches him, “Conan, don’t say that. It hurts your image. Do you forget how Mommy usually teaches you?”
“Yes!” Conan immediately straightens up. He says solemnly, “Mommy told Conan that if I meet someone I hate, I can’t scold her but deal with her with practical actions!”
