Raina and Thomas jolted out of their seats from the impact. It took them some time to process what had just happened.“Oh, thank God. That was so scary,” Raina exclaimed, patting her chest to soothe her spirits.On the other hand, Thomas’ eyes immediately shot toward Claire. Only after confirming her safety did he secretly sigh in relief. He then saw her frustratingly rubbing her temples, so he offered, “Claire, why don’t I drive? You should get some rest.”Claire nodded before compliantly switching seats with Thomas. Once she settled down and shut her eyes, she couldn’t help thinking, “I’m an idiot for doing all this. I can’t believe I’m just now realizing that I care so much about who Javier loves. This obsession of mine isn’t good, so I need to pull myself together and get these emotions under control. I can’t allow random things to affect my logic and judgment. After all, what Javier and I have is more than a marriage on paper. I’m sure of it.”The three soon arrived at their desti

Henry quickly researched Morrow’s actions from earlier that day. Javier had a private search engine with access to almost any information and evidence in the world. It didn’t matter whether Javier needed intel on mundane, legal, or illegal things; the platform would get him what he wanted. Many feared Javier for this reason. With his unlimited access to knowledge, there was no guarantee whether one’s illicit or private transactions would end up in Javier’s hands. Likewise, because of this search engine, it didn’t take Henry long to find what Javier asked. What shocked Henry was that Morrow hadn’t done anything abnormal or suspicious upon returning to the country. Scratching his head, Henry couldn’t understand the situation anymore. He mused, “Mr. Marquez is never wrong whenever he suspects someone. There’s just no way. Besides, I’ve worked with Mr. Marquez for so long, and this is the first time he’s ever sent me to investigate someone’s actions. That must mean Morrow has done somethi

Javier nodded, knowing any wine Shawn brought him usually had decent quality. Upon realizing that, he peered at the stoic Claire beside him and frowned. He thought, “That’s not right. Claire’s never like this during dinner time. She seems too calm.”He placed a glass of red wine before Claire, saying, “It’s pretty good. You should try some.”Claire’s cheeks reddened, and she recalled what happened the last time she got drunk. Before she could refuse, she realized Javier wasn’t behaving out of the ordinary anymore, so she figured it was okay to accept the wine. She took one sip, indulging in its acidity and sweetness.Ollie noticed the glass of wine in her hand while he ate. His eyes lit up with curiosity and envy as he stated, “Mommy, I thought you couldn’t hold your alcohol well. Why don’t I drink it for you?”Lips curling into an amused smile, Claire giggled and secretly thought her mischievous son was up to no good. She soon faked a stern look to lecture him, “Ollie, you shouldn’t s

Javier loosened his iron grip on Claire. He stepped back but kept his eye on her, worried by her continually heaving chest. Eventually, he couldn’t help reaching out again to hold Claire. Claire accepted his help this time, allowing Javier to help her up the stairs. She dared not look at his face throughout the walk to her room, thinking, “How am I too incompetent to walk upstairs after a few glasses of alcohol? Argh, this is so embarrassing!”When they finally reached the top of the stairs and entered Claire’s room, she figured it was common courtesy to offer to spend some time with him as thanks. Hence, she asked, “Would you like to come in for a bit?”“Sure.” Javier nodded and almost immediately entered her room, much to her dismay.Claire remained stiff at her bedroom door, feeling awkward about her predicament. She didn’t think he would accept, after all. However, that was when her head felt heavy, and her face suddenly heated up. Even her vision turned blurry. She stumbled towar

That was when Javier finally realized what had been bugging Claire all this while. Anyone could tell Sofia had likely said some things that upset Claire. Javier knew his mom’s methods well enough, having grown up under her strict parenting, so he understood why Claire seemed so miserable after meeting Sofia. “Mom’s always like that. People think she’s so gentle, like a butter knife, but she’ll mercilessly cut those she disapproves of and leave them in ragged pieces.” At that thought, his chest constricted with pain for what Claire had to endure. It was an unusual sensation. He had never felt such empathy for anyone after he gained awareness of the world around him. Thus, his current emotions were hard to describe, putting him at a loss.A long pause passed before Claire sobered up slightly. Her blurry gaze regained some focus as she asked, “Javier, tell me the truth—does our marriage put a strain on you?”At that point, the rims of Claire’s eyes reddened.Javier frowned, raised Claire

“Dream on, Claire!” With that thought, Javier pinned Claire’s hands above her head, rendering her defenseless as he kissed her collarbones. There were moments when he sucked on the skin, making Claire feel a little sore and prickly. He continued until his lips arrived before her chest.Claire wanted to fight back, but she didn’t have enough strength to rival him. Thus, she lay helplessly there and didn’t know how to react to the unfamiliar sensation.Javier wasn’t drunk. Although he had drank a little during dinner, his tolerance for alcohol was high enough to keep his mind clear. One could only describe his actions as giving in to his sexual desires. Nevertheless, Javier consciously knew what he was doing and what he was about to do. He knew it wasn’t right to get intimate, but his moral judgment couldn’t help collapsing under Claire’s earlier teasing because he had been abstinent for so long. Surrendering to his primal desires, he stripped off Claire’s clothes until not even a thread

Javier was still in a good mood, so he sat on the bed for a little longer, finding that the sheets still smelled of Claire. The more he inhaled her sweet scent, the more he didn’t want to get up. He gazed confusedly at the bathroom, thinking, “I don’t want to admit it, but I have to—I’ve fallen for Claire, or at least, my body has.”He gradually picked up his clothes from the ground and wore them before returning to his room to prepare for the day.On the other hand, Claire had been dawdling in the bathroom. She waited until there were no more sounds or indications of Javier’s presence outside before sighing in relief. Once she reentered her room, she saw the messy blanket and her top on the ground. Even her sheets had shifted out of place on the mattress. All those elements proved that she had indeed had sex with Javier. Sighing deeply, Claire calmed herself and focused on the present. It was almost time to head to the company, meaning there wasn’t much time to dwell on the issue. Lik

Eyes widening at the handsome man before her, Claire wanted to slap herself to see if she was dreaming. Otherwise, why else would Javier behave so out of character? He had always been aloof and distant, but now? He was simply a monster to her. Nevertheless, Claire was busy thinking about another thing. She wondered, “Did I really ask him to kiss me?”“You—I—Oh, whatever! That’s all in the past. Why must you keep bringing it up?” she muttered, simultaneously avoiding Javier’s playful stares.Arching a brow in amusement, Javier chuckled. “Does that mean you’re not planning to acknowledge what we did?”Claire’s cheeks heated up all at once while memories of her actively kissing him back appeared in her mind, leaving her baffled. “Oh, just forget it! I’m busy. Bye.” She dodged the question, sprinted out of the car, and ran for the commercial building where she had agreed to meet with the talk show directors. Javier retracted his gaze while shifting in his seat after watching Claire leave

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
