The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 133 So Proud of You
Soon, the trio was done with their lunch.Thomas still had to shoot the final short clip. Since it was an underwater shoot, this particular shoot was placed at the end of the schedule.The weather forecast had reported the day’s weather as sunny at first. This way, the actor wouldn’t have to suffer as much when shooting underwater. Unfortunately, the weather started changing before the shoot even started.Dark clouds already covered the sky in large puffs, making the sky seem like it was going to rain anytime soon. The director approached Jayda with a torn look on his face. “Ms. Zachman, it seems that things aren’t going according to our plan. It’s going to rain soon. If we were to proceed with the shoot, we’d be putting the actor through a major hassle.”Jayda pursed her lips tightly, an awfully serious expression on her face. Then, she shot Thomas a complicated glance.Naturally, she understood the director’s point very well. It was just that the time they had from renting the l

When Thomas heard Claire praising him, he squeezed out a forced smile. “It’s my duty, Claire. Also…thank you for what you did today, Claire. You saved my life.”Claire burst into laughter the moment she heard Thomas’ words. “You’re so funny! How did I save your life? There were so many people at the set back then. Even if I didn’t jump into the water, someone else would eventually do the same thing. Don’t think too much about it.”Thomas wanted to say something else, but he decided to shut up after noticing the uncomfortable expression on Claire’s face.A part of him started to ache for no reason at all. Thomas snuck a glance in Claire’s direction while having mixed feelings.Not only did Claire spend money to save his sister’s life, but she also saved him earlier. He vowed to repay her benevolence in the future even if he had to become her slave.Once Claire reached home, she retreated to her room early to rest for the night. Since Ollie loved spending time with his mommy, he had

At that moment, Javier, who was considered a pervert, remained calm and collected. He held Ollie in his arms and gently stroked his head, completely disregarding the matter.Claire was so embarrassed that her face turned as red as a beet. Ollie looked at her in surprise and asked in confusion, “Mommy, are you alright? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever again?”“No, it’s just too hot in the room. I’ll take a shower, and I’ll be fine.” Claire quickly shook her head.As soon as Claire finished speaking, she stood up and dashed out of the room in a flash. She locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out. There was no way she could face anyone looking like that. It was simply too embarrassing!Ollie was still confused. He looked at Javier innocently and asked, “Dad, what is wrong with Mommy? Is she feeling sick again?”He was really worried about his mother’s health, as she had not been feeling well before and was frequently ill.Javier unexpectedly took the time t

After being left alone for a while, Shawn got bored and thought of something. He tentatively asked, “Javier, I heard that there’s a family gathering soon. Is that true?”This family gathering did not have much to do with Shawn, but the Marquez family’s annual gathering had always been used as an opportunity to force Javier into marriage. Thus, Shawn was curious to know if Javier would bring Claire to the gathering this year.Javier glanced at Shawn indifferently. It was obvious the latter was looking to gossip. He ignored him and continued to deal with the task at hand.Shawn did not feel awkward at all being ignored by Javier and added, “I believe that this year’s family gathering will be different from previous gatherings.”Knowing that he meant to say something else, Javier placed aside the task at hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Does Hattie have any grand ideas?”Shawn awkwardly chuckled as Javier looked right through him. He nodded and answered, “Yup, Hattie came to me

“Good, your fever is gone. Looks like you’ve rested well today.” Javier said.Claire felt a flush spreading across her forehead. She quickly lowered her head and nodded shyly.They were silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Claire then shifted the topic and said, “Uh, by the way, you haven’t said why you came back so early? Is the company not busy lately?”Claire knew that Javier never liked others interfering in his affairs, but she asked because she was concerned about the land in the east of the city.“It’s alright, everything is just as usual.”It was obvious that Javier did not want to discuss this matter, so Claire did not question further and just nodded.She had to search for a breaking point to help Javier procure that land. She would feel much better if she could help Javier with this.The series ‘Traverse’ was being aired on television. Although Thomas appeared slightly young and inexperienced at that time, his acting skills were quite good.They sat th

On the way back, Claire pondered long and hard on how to mention the matter to Javier. Given Javier’s personality, she was worried that he would not participate in the parent-child program.During dinner at the table, Claire hesitated to talk about the matter when her phone suddenly rang. It was a script for the play they had to perform. It was sent by Ollie’s teacher, Ms. Sarah.Claire took a quick glance at the script and placed her phone aside. She contemplated, “There’s no way Javier would be willing to take part in this play.”The script illustrated the interactions between Daddy Wolf, Mommy Wolf, and Little Wolf. It was ridiculous to even think that Javier would wear a wolf costume on stage. She would rather do it without Javier.Claire looked somewhat disheartened after she looked at her phone, so Patty asked in concern, “What’s wrong, Claire?”Claire decided that there was nothing to hide and told Patty about the play. She emphasized, “I can handle the performance alone. T

Ollie held the costumes in his hand and went home carefree and content. Javier was not back from work yet at that time. If he was, Ollie would have plunged into his arms and tried to convince him to participate in the play.It was the weekend. The parent-child program was set to take place on this day.Claire spent the morning at the kindergarten rehearsing the lines and interactions for the play with Ollie. The performance itself was not particularly difficult, and it would be fine as long as they could liven up the atmosphere. This was not an issue for Claire.During halftime, Claire noticed that Ollie kept glancing toward the door with a sense of growing disappointment in his eyes. Her heart ached at that sight.She knew that Ollie was hoping for Javier to come, and the thought of it made her heart ache for Ollie. After some deliberation, Claire hesitantly took out her phone and called Javier.The call was quickly answered on the other end.“What’s up?” Javier’s flat tone on t

The prize Ollie won was a huge teddy bear, specifically prepared by Ms. Sarah. It was so big that he could barely carry it in his arms.Nonetheless, Ollie was ecstatic, and it was evident to Claire that he cherished the teddy bear. He held onto it tightly even after the program had ended. This was the first time that their family had participated in a performance together and won, so Ollie could not help but feel happy.As the event came to a close, Javier noticed that the teddy bear was too big for Ollie to carry and went to get the car. Meanwhile, Claire waited with Ollie at the kindergarten entrance.Suddenly, a child approached Ollie and without hesitation, tried to snatch the teddy bear from him. Ollie was very protective of his beloved teddy bear and refused to let go. The two children ended up in a tussle, and the other child aggressively pushed Ollie to the ground.Claire was shocked and did not expect such an incident to happen while she was distracted. She rushed to h

Hattie looked extremely sincere in her pleading. However, when Sofia did not answer or even look at her, she began to lose confidence. Sofia's face was impassive. "Hattie, I've known you since you were a baby, but I can't help you with this. Please leave." She did not want to discuss the other stuff with her yet.However, Hattie was obstinate. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Aunt Sofia, please, please help me. I know it's not much trouble for you, but it can save our entire family. You've always been so kind to me. I promise that the Snyder family will repay you for your kindness!"Hearing this, Sofia felt uncomfortable. She raised her head and gazed at her coldly. "In this case, Hattie, I'll tell you why I won't help you," she said impatiently. "Do you really not know what you've done? I won't say it, but I know exactly what you've done to Ollie. You deserve everything that's happening to you now."Hattie widened her eyes, partly in shock and partly in disbelief when she h
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 912 I Will Repay You
Javier paused outside the door and waited until Claire left before giving his subordinates a look. They understood perfectly and grabbed Chantelle at once.As Javier had ordered, they were to send this woman abroad as far away as possible and leave her to fend for herself.Outside the hotel, Claire looked up at the sky blankly. She felt like a huge burden had been taken off her shoulders; for the first time in a long time, she felt relieved of all the hurt that she had suffered five years ago. Turning back, she told Javier, "Thank you, Javier, for allowing me to face my fears. I feel so relieved now."Javier's expression fell when he heard her thank him. He tapped her on the nose fondly in exasperation. "What are you talking about? Of course, I won't let those who hurt you get off so easily. They have to pay for what they have done."Claire was touched to see him so protective of her. A surge of warmness spread in her chest as she gazed at him fondly. "I'm lucky to have you, Javier."T
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 911 Disappointed
That was all Armand could think of.In just a few minutes, Chantelle admitted to everything she had done to Claire over the past few years.From drugging Claire out of jealousy and getting a stranger to assault her to getting Liam to banish her abroad, she admitted to everything. Claire knew some of them, but not all; only now did she know the extent of her crimes.When she was finished, everyone in the room sported conflicting expressions. Liam looked especially hurt and remorseful. It turned out that his younger daughter had always been evil, and he had wrongfully blamed Claire for all these years.Armand, on the other hand, didn't know how to feel about all this. He glanced at Claire and Javier. He felt that he really didn't deserve Claire, after all he had done. He had thought Chantelle to be kind and naive and had trusted her blindly to the point that he almost married her.Thank goodness the wedding didn't happen. Even so, he had lost Claire thanks to this. It made him regret eve
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 910 Hard to Avoid
If Chantelle told Claire the truth about what happened that night, then there would be nothing stopping her from having a happily-ever-after with Javier.Back then, driven by jealousy, she had drugged Claire and put her in Javier's bed without their consent. She had planned all of this out herself meticulously. She had gotten Armand to catch Claire in the act so that he would call off the engagement and be with her instead. Liam banished Claire abroad to fend for herself. However, if she had known that the random stranger she had arranged to assault Claire was Javier, she never would've done it.Even so, it was a perfect plan worthy of a blockbuster film. Claire and Javier never found out the truth, nor did they know that Ollie was actually Javier's son.It took them two years of skirting around each other only to find out that they were meant to be in the first place. Now that the truth was out, Claire would not settle for prison as a punishment for the cause of all her suffering. Sh

After a lot of persuasion, Claire and Sofia finally managed to get Ollie to agree to stay in the hospital for another three days.Of course, three days weren't enough. Sofia and Pedro tried everything they could to convince Ollie to stay in the hospital for as long as possible.However, Ollie was smart enough to see through their ruse. He felt guilty when he saw them trying to cajole him into staying, so one day, after another attempt, he spoke up hesitantly, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm glad that you're trying to keep me happy, and I'm touched that you're concerned about me, but I've been in the hospital for too long and it's making me sad. I promise that I'll listen to the doctor even when I'm at home, okay?" Under his bright, clear gaze, Sofia's protests died in her throat, leaving only exasperation and wordless sorrow.Ollie was too mature for his age. How could they not love him?Therefore, Ollie got his wish and was discharged three days later. In order to take care of Ollie, Sofia an

Hearing this, Javier narrowed his eyes. He felt like he was on the verge of grasping something, but the feeling passed too quickly for him to register it. Softening his tone, he said, "There's no need to be scared, Ollie. We're all right here with you. We'll protect you no matter what happens. Can you tell me what you remembered?"Ollie might have regained his memories from before he'd been drugged.Buoyed by the encouragement, Ollie thought hard for a moment and said with a frown, "I … I remember a lady beating me. She locked me up and didn't let me eat anything while saying bad things about me and Mommy all the time. I wanted to fight back, but I was too weak. After I tried to run, she caught me and beat me up some more and forced me to eat food off the floor." Toward the end of this, Ollie burst into tears.Claire's heart hurt for him. She wanted to hug him, but Javier got there first."Tell me, Ollie, do you know her name?" Javier's voice was thick with tears as well. "Do you remem
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 907 Scared
With that, Henry threw a glance at the rest of the employees and hurried them out. He also dragged Raina and Thomas out with him, leaving only Claire and Javier's parents to keep him company.Since it was only a small procedure for Javier, he did not get a lot of anesthesia. He tried to wriggle his body a little. Realizing what he was doing, Claire quickly helped him sit up.Javier did not look like he had just come out of surgery. Thanks to his strong physique, he looked fine.Seeing this, Sofia finally eased up a little on her worries. "How are you feeling, Javier?"Javier shook his head. "I'm fine, Mom. I just need some rest. How about Ollie? Did they say when he'll wake up?" He already knew that the surgery was a success, so he wanted to know when he would be able to see Ollie."Randy said that Ollie will be out for some time, but he's fine," Claire replied. Javier nodded. He, too, finally eased up on the tight knot of worry that was weighing his chest.Once he was sure that Javie
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 906 Talented
The surgery took three hours.As time went by, Claire got more and more anxious. However, there was nothing she could do but wait.In the end, Sofia was the first to crack. She went up to Claire and said anxiously, "Claire, are you sure that Dr. Xenos is good? It's been three hours, why aren't they out yet? I have a bad feeling about this."Claire wasn't exactly relaxed either, but she didn't show it. She gathered her thoughts and comforted Sofia. "Everything will be fine, Mrs. Marquez. Randy is a well-known surgeon, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Don't worry." She wanted to reach out to comfort her, but in the end, she just sat there with an awkward expression. This was probably how their relationship would be in the foreseeable future—awkward and distant.Pedro watched their interaction with an air of knowingness. "Stop crying, Sofia," he said. "They're fine, you don't have to cry about them. Claire's still pregnant, don't upset her."Sofia was about to get angry about his admoni
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 905 Wouldn't Be Able to Bear It
At that, Javier narrowed his eyes dangerously.The Weiss family wasn't in a stable condition right now, so it wouldn't be hard for him to take revenge on Claire's behalf. Now that he knew the truth of what had happened, he had to find a way to punish the perpetrators.The news that Ollie was Javier's biological son quickly spread, especially after Sofia held a party in celebration. In fact, it made headlines the day before Ollie's scheduled surgery.Javier wasn't surprised about it. He had been looking for an opportunity to announce it to the public so that there wouldn't be unsightly rumors that would affect Claire. Claire, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable about the announcement. After all, she had always been a private person; she didn't want anyone to disturb her peaceful life.After a while, though, she got used to it.The most important contributor to this was that it benefited Ollie. From now on, he wasn't a fatherless child anymore. He could tell anyone who would l
