“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.

    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

    Some of the bystanders were taken aback and gasped in shock, thinking that Claire was too bold. Although she had a powerful background, the woman she was facing also had her own connections and was not easy to mess with.More people gathered around to watch the scene, all anticipating what would happen next. At the same time, they were curious about Claire’s connections, would they be able to help her resolve this matter?After being slapped twice, the woman’s face was swollen, and her makeup was smudged. She tried to strike back.Claire did not kick her this time, but instead, she grabbed both her hands and immobilized her so she could not move an inch.“The first slap was for my son—because you said he had no manners. The second slap was for me—because you called me a slut. You brought this upon yourself, and if you make any more moves, I won't hesitate to slap you again."After speaking, Claire coldly released the woman and walked away with Ollie without looking back.The woma

    Javier stood on Ollie’s left, and Claire stood on his right. The family of three walked down the street, looking warm and cozy.Ollie would occasionally act spoiled and ask Claire to hold him, to which she reluctantly obliged.Javier watched from the side. Strangely, he felt a bit jealous. He turned his face and did not look at her.They returned home happily. The couple and child who were humiliated earlier would likely be too embarrassed to show their faces again. At the house entrance, Javier opened the door with his bony and distinct fingers.Ollie ran in excitedly. Today was a happy day for him, and Claire smiled as she watched him run around with his stuffed toy.Ollie got tired after he played for a while. He placed the teddy bear on the bed, covered it with a blanket, and took a shower. He then went to bed, hugging his teddy bear with a smile on his face.Claire let out a sigh of relief when Ollie fell asleep. It was a chaotic day. Her voice was hoarse, and she went dow

    As Claire made her way through the company, people came and went, and each one cheerfully greeted her. “Good morning, Ms. Claire.”She nodded and responded, “Good morning.” She continued on to Thomas’s practice room. She knocked on the door and walked in.“Claire, you’re here,” Thomas said as he stopped what he was doing and walked over to Claire.“How’s the training going?” Claire asked, seeing the sweat on Thomas’s body. It was impressive to see him working so hard early in the morning.“It’s going okay.” Thomas replied, looking down at his muscular arms and wiping off the sweat.Claire nodded and patted his arm. “You’re doing great. You’ve made a lot of progress.”Thomas blushed at her praise and scratched his head. Claire then got serious and pulled out a file from her handbag.She said, “I received a call today from the popular variety show ‘Rising Stars off the Grill’. They want to invite you to be a guest on the show. This is a great opportunity for you, Thomas. You nee

    At this moment, Javier looked in the direction of Claire, his dangerous eyes narrowed and the cold aura emanating from his body made Shawn and Leo slightly startled.Leo was Javier’s business partner and also a longtime friend. Although their relationship was not as close as Shawn’s, they were still good buddies.Shawn and Leo exchanged a glance, both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.Javier had been looking off since he came, and now it seemed like he was about to explode.Leaning over to Shawn, Leo whispered, “Shawn, what has gotten into Javier? Did he get triggered by something?”It was no wonder he was surprised. After all, the Javier he knew was notoriously cold and could control his emotions. This behavior was rare.Shawn shook his head. He remembered Javier’s recent behavior, and also started to wonder.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Claire’s beautiful face came to mind. Was this because of their marriage?Sure enough, following Javier’s gaze, Shawn sa

    The aroma of alcohol filled the air. Claire’s eyebrows twitched at the smell of it. Memories of that night flashed through her mind, and it ignited a burning anger within her.She now strongly suspected that Morrow did it on purpose, knowing that she wouldn’t let it go easily. He deliberately humiliated her because she could not do anything to him at the moment.Claire reached out to pour the wine over Morrow’s ugly face, but at the last moment, she held back. Today was a big day for Thomas, and she could not afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, Morrow might do something to ruin it.Claire took a deep breath and tried to sound normal. She let out a sarcastic chuckle and said, “Mr. Marquez, you know I can’t handle my liquor. I won’t be drinking.”She deliberately mentioned her inability to hold her liquor to remind him of what happened that day. However, Morrow acted as if nothing happened and said, "Claire, you played a significant role in the company's success. Let me raise a t

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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
