The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 20 Way Out of Her League
Claire’s surroundings appeared dark as she had a cloth over her head; all she knew was that she was being led to a remote location. Her heart grew more and more anxious as time passed, and she desperately kicked the room door with her unbound legs. However, the door stayed closed.After struggling for quite some time, she finally heard the door open and vaguely saw outlines of a few large men entering the room.The cloth on her head was removed and she was immediately blinded by the sudden increase in brightness. Claire glared fiercely at the people before her once her eyes had gotten use to the light again.“Let me go right now, Chantelle! I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Ollie!” she said, all while attempt to break free of her bonds; her face flushing from the effort.“I think you should just wait here obediently for Javier to come rescue you. You both are husband and wife; surely he won’t forsake you if he cares about you, am I right?” Envy flashed across Chantelle’s eye

The rumors had spread almost overnight. Everyone was shocked to learn Javier had a son, especially since he was renowned for his abstinence and avoiding all forms of intimacy with women. Around the same time, Javier’s parents heard the news. However, they found it laughable. As much as they dreamed of having grandchildren, they knew their unapproachable son would never fulfill their wish. Little did they know their housekeeper would soon show them a secretly taken photo of Javier and a young boy with puppy dog eyes. What shocked them more was the resemblance between Javier and the boy. Right away, Javier’s parents shot to their feet, every muscle in their bodies tensing up as they found the situation odd. It was natural for Javier himself to catch wind of those rumors. The only difference was he was unperturbed by the news; after all, he had never cared for unimportant things like gossip and how others perceived his life. Despite that, Javier’s temples inevitably throbbed as he looke

Javier’s heart skipped a beat. He had never felt such growing nervousness, interest, and perhaps even a tinge of hopefulness before. Curiosity got the better of him as he stared at Oliver’s little face that reminded him very much of his own. “Ollie, tell me—how old are you again?” “I’m four, Dad,” Oliver answered truthfully. At once, Sofia and Pedro noticed Javier’s eyes lighting up in realization. The two shared a knowing look, feeling more confident that their son had been hiding something from them.“When were you born? Which year and which month?” Javier continued interrogating, his voice trembling so slightly that no one realized. At the same time, he wondered, “He’s four? Was he really conceived on that night five years ago?”Oliver had never seen his dad so anxious. Being an innocent child with a simple mind, he pouted and lowered his head innocently with concern for his dad. He briefly pondered before responding, “I was born on December 5th.”The glow in Javier’s eyes gradual

Upon hearing her thunderous cries, Liam stormed over with a deep frown. “You ungrateful bitch! After all my efforts in raising you, this is how you repay me? By embarrassing us and uttering such vile threats? You have two choices now—call Javier, or stay locked up here for the rest of your life! Don’t even think of trying to escape!”Darkness shrouded Claire’s face. At the same time, she felt goosebumps pebbling all over her skin upon hearing that threat from her father, who she once respected. Of course, part of her was also annoyed since she had obviously tried to escape; it was just that she had failed every time. Thoughts of her son suffering plagued her mind so much that she yelled, “Javier and I don’t even know each other! We share no relations, nor does he care about me! Locking me up for the rest of my life won’t do you any good. I suggest you set me free now.”“Seriously! How did someone like Mr. Marquez fall in love with you?” Scoffing, Chantelle scrunched her nose and raised

Javier couldn’t help paying attention to Claire’s situation, which shocked him as he never thought he would care so much for her. However, he dismissed those thoughts and decided to have his subordinates bring her over after he finished his business discussion. With that, Javier retracted his gaze to continue chatting with his friends. A slight, unnoticeable chuckle came from his lips as he mused, “Damn. Since when have I ever cared about that woman?”…On the other hand, Claire didn’t know Javier was nearby. Although she sat beside Samuel, she focused more on forming an escape plan. A waiter conveniently approached their table with some food just then. Seizing that chance, Claire shot to her feet and flipped the table over.A loud clatter sounded, and the dishes on the table splattered all over the ground, making the scene appear extra chaotic. The two burly men were about to apprehend Claire, but she quickly grabbed the steaming pot of soup nearby and splashed it onto them. Seeing th

“You haven’t left. Is there anything else you need?” Claire asked.Javier didn’t answer her question; he glanced at her bandaged wound and coldly said, “Get in.”Lips pursing, Claire recalled the kiss they had shared earlier and felt the need to put up her guard around him. She gave her response some thought before finally uttering, “I appreciate your kind offer to drive me, Mr. Marquez— but I have other things to do, so I’ll be on my way now.”As she spun to leave, Javier snarled through gritted teeth, “Did I say you could go, Claire?”That sparked a flame of annoyance in Claire, who whipped around to glare at Javier. She was already anxious enough to look for her son, so Javier’s constant stalling ticked her off. Eager to ditch him, she shoved a 100-dollar bill in his face. “Thank you for offering—truly, but I’m in a rush, so will this cover the cost of you driving me here?”Getting handed a mere 100-dollar bill made Javier narrow his eyes. He mentally thundered, “The nerve of her! H

Claire had never heard Oliver call another man his dad before, so she snaked her arms around him tighter and worriedly examined every inch of his body. “Ollie, how have you been these days? Are you hurt?”“Nope!” Oliver shook his head. “I’m not hurt. Grandma looked after me while you were gone, so don’t worry!”Only after confirming there wasn’t a single scratch on Oliver did Claire relax—but that was also when she noticed something was wrong. “Grandma?” she asked. As she started getting confused, she noticed the elegantly dressed woman who sipped tea under the gazebo while watching her. The woman bore a slight resemblance to Javier, meaning she was likely Javier’s mother, much to Claire’s dismay. Shocked by the twist of events, Claire wondered, “What’s going on? Why has Oliver ended up in Mr. Marquez’s home? Oh, whatever. I can’t push aside my manners just because I’m confused by everything.”With that thought, she held Oliver’s hands and brought him to the woman. “You must be Mr. Ma

There was a long pause. Perhaps Nadia was tired because she gradually stood at one point, her thin body appearing extra frail. As she turned to enter her room, she kept reminding Claire in a gentle tone, “Go. Go as far as you can and never return.”Claire hid her face as she had already wept up a storm earlier. She knew there was no changing some things, no matter how hard she tried; thus, Nadia’s decision to remain in the country instead of going to Ecraria with her meant this was their final farewell. Sitting next to Claire was a confused Oliver, who wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say. Back in Ecraria, he would often see his mother crying like this. At the time, he was still young, so he didn’t understand why she was constantly sad. However, Oliver swore back then that he would grow up quickly and protect his mom; he refused to let her shed any more tears.The next day, Claire arranged for Nadia’s transport back to the countryside before packing their luggage and head

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

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
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
