Chapter 271 Daddy vs Godfather
Chapter 271 Daddy vs Godfather
Now Conan just wants his dad. He really wants to hear Conan call him daddy.
He doesn’t expect that what he says about daddy isn’t about him.
He wants to revenge Leo even more. He’s going to destroy Leo as soon as possible. In this way, Claire and Conan will return to him without hesitation. The three of them will return to their happy and carefree days in France.
Juan’s anger is about to explode. When he hears Conan insist on calling Leo and Claire is speechless, he opens the door of the room and walks in.
He sees Claire crouching in front of Conan and holding his hand. She tries to give him an excuse.
Juan smiles and says to Conan, “Conan, I am back.”
He opens his arms and is ready for Conan to pounce on him.
In the past, when Juan came back and made this gesture, Conan would rush forward happily and jump into Juan's arms.
However, just now they had a quarrel about Leo. Although Conan keeps his head, he still forces Claire to make a decision. Juan comes in at this time. He just helps Claire.
Conan is helpless, but he still respects Juan. He laughs and says to him, “godfather, you are back at last.”
But he doesn’t rush over as cheerfully as usual.
“...”
Juan keeps his arms open. Conan doesn’t jump on him so he is embarrassed.
His psychological quality has been good for so many years. Even though Juan is in an awkward situation, he keeps smiling happily. He walks up to Conan and holds him in his arms and asks, “Conan, did you have lunch? I come back specially to have lunch with your mommy. Do you want to eat out or at home?”
“At home. It’s not good to eat out many times.” Conan says, frowning.
Conan lets go of his frustration and keeps himself in a rational state. At the same time, he decides to take a chance to ask Claire again.
“Well, I’ve got the servants cooking. When I returned home, I bought you a set of very suitable gifts. Would you like to see it with me?” Juan gets up and picks up Conan. He asks him with a smile.
When Conan hears of the gift, his depression disappears. He looks at Juan excitedly and says, “yes, godfather, I want to see the gift you give me!”
Everything Juan gives him is to his taste, so Conan is so happy.
“Let’s go. It’s in my study.”
“Oh yeah! Godfather is the best!” Conan shouts happily.
Claire is relieved to see Juan holding Conan and leaving. She doesn’t have to think of a way to convince Conan. Sometimes it’s a sin to have a son with a high IQ. His IQ is higher than yours, so it’s hard for you to lie.
...
Leo sits in the office and he looks angry. Luke is serious and sits by. The two men sit for a long time and no one speaks first.
Claire has been missing for two days.
Yesterday, Leo found out that Claire didn’t come to work, so he went to her apartment to find her. He didn’t expect no one to open the door after he knocked. He was so worried that he called the lock company, but the room was empty. Even the furniture was put in order as if no one had lived in this house!
The landlord came to check the house. When he saw Leo, he asked who he was.
Leo was furious and asked him to tell all the facts. The landlord was shocked by Leo. He stammered that the client who had lived here had moved out. He just came here today to check whether the furniture in the house was damaged.
Hearing the landlord’s words, Leo was totally furious!
Didn’t the woman promise him not to leave? Yesterday she was here but today she ran away!
Leo was so angry that he kicked on the door. The landlord looked at his door in fear. He was reluctant but he didn’t dare to say it.
Leo lost his temper at Claire’s apartment door. He thought she had cheated him, but he was not willing to let her escape! Leo thought about it and left angrily. He went to Luke’s company and asked where Claire was!
Luke was stunned for a while, then he understood what Leo was talking about. When he learned that Claire finally escaped, he felt helpless and distressed. Claire, why did you do this?
She escaped from Leo six years ago. Now she ran away again. She hurt Leo over and over again. She was too cruel.
Looking at the furious Leo, Luke had no choice but to say, “Leo, I don’t know where she is now. You calm down first. Let’s wait until tomorrow. Maybe she’ll be back tomorrow.”
Leo didn’t believe Luke. He was in such a bad mood that he wanted to kill people. He couldn’t accept the fact that Claire left him suddenly. They had a chat yesterday.
But Luke comforted him so Leo had to bite his teeth and calm down. He was willing to give Luke another day. If he couldn’t find Claire in one day, he would do it by himself!
Luke thought Claire was just having trouble and didn’t want to tell Leo. He wanted to know the situation by himself.
So Luke called Claire’s French number as soon as he got home. He didn’t expect that her French number had been cancelled. Luke had no choice but to call Claire’s US number. It was off and no one answered.
After putting down the phone, Luke’s heart was cool. This scene was exactly the same as it was six years ago. Six years ago, Claire suddenly disappeared. She didn’t answer the phone and there was no one where she used to live.
Her friends were worried about whether she had been kidnapped by bad people.
Luke had no choice but to go to Kate. Kate sneered and laughed at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Claire’s not here. If Claire suddenly disappeared, she just wants to leave Leo as she did six years ago. I support her. I’m not going to help you find her. Forget it!”
Kate’s behavior disappointed Luke. He was heartbroken but he knew Kate was just speaking from Claire’s point of view.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
