The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 259 Another Bed
Claire was irritated by her inexplicable ambiguity, but she kept eating and hoped that Javier wouldn’t notice her embarrassment. Regrettably, the more one was afraid of something, the greater the likelihood of it occurring.Javier was the first to finish his dinner. Then, he got up and ordered, “Go and get a bigger bed for Mrs. Marquez. A bed that can fit two people.” “Cough…Cough.” Claire was focused on eating, so she almost choked when she heard what was said. She patted her chest, and with a painful expression, she looked at Javier. However, her words were stuck in her throat. Javier not only wanted to accompany her, but he also requested another bed!Patty quickly handed her a glass of water. Claire felt much better after drinking it. When she was about to speak, she saw Ollie’s mischievous smile and quickly stopped herself. In a sudden epiphany, Claire realized that asking additional questions would only serve to increase suspicion. But if she refrained from asking anything,

Claire couldn’t help but pout. She felt extremely wronged and retorted, “It’s because you suddenly moved close, so I was startled.” Claire would unintentionally pout when she was angry. Javier’s eyes unexpectedly grew darker after seeing this scene. He chuckled, his eyes fixed on Claire’s lips. “Then, should I ask you first before I want to kiss you next time?” he asked, his voice husky.Claire was initially baffled by Javier’s words and found them incomprehensible. However, when Javier leaned in and kissed her, her eyes widened in shock, and she finally grasped his intention. So, he had wanted to kiss her?Deep in her thought, she could feel Javier slowly searching her lips. Claire felt embarrassed and quickly pushed him away. Out of breath, Claire sighed to make herself sound normal. “Why…Why would you want to kiss me? And about last night…”Claire stopped talking when she thought about last night and glared at Javier. However, she didn’t know what to say.Javier became serio

The room was bathed in the soft morning light that streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow over the two figures in the bed. The view outside was stunning.Claire gradually regained consciousness, her surroundings shifting from darkness to a reddish hue. She opened her eyes to find herself in bed, and a vivid image of herself in a black wedding gown in a church with an unknown groom flashed through her mind.As Claire woke up from her nightmare, her eyes were filled with fear and confusion. What was the reason behind such a horrifying dream? Was it due to her anxiety? With a heavy heart, she took a deep breath and released a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was just a dream.Claire turned around and saw Javier, causing her confusion to deepen. She could only recall that he had stayed with her throughout the night, which left her with mixed emotions.As Javier slept, Claire couldn’t help but gaze at his face. It was strikingly handsome, with features tha

After that, Sofia showed a painful expression. “Pedro, tell me, who does that woman think she is? You know how important that project is to Javier.” Though Pedro was silent, his expression was solemn. There was also shock in his eyes. Everyone at the Marquez Group knew how important the project at Clence was. Javier spent two months with a few company seniors to get the project. How could he easily let go of that project because of a woman? Was Javier still the son they were proud of? At the thought of that, Pedro couldn’t help but sigh. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he said, “Arrange a time to chat with that woman again. No matter what, we can’t let this go on.” Sofia nodded. She also had the same idea and agreed, “Okay, I won’t be soft on her this time.” She feared that if she did, she might lose the son she was proud of forever.The following afternoon, Claire noticed a significant improvement in her body. Her body had healed rapidly thanks to Patty and Javier’s te

Claire was startled and looked at Sofia in disbelief. “Aunt Sofia, what did you say? Is that true?” Did Javier give up on a company project worth billions to save her that day?Sofia’s anger was palpable as she responded to Claire’s question. “Yes, it’s real. That project was worth billions. What makes you think you’re worth that much? If this continues, all the hard work that Javier has put in over the years will be ruined. He’s only human, not a god. His success is the result of his immense effort. I can’t just stand by and watch him throw it all away for you.”Sofia’s emotions were running high, and she couldn’t contain her frustration any longer. “Claire Weiss, I didn’t come here to have a discussion with you today. I’m here to tell you that you need to leave Javier. If you don’t, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”Claire was left speechless as she gazed at Sofia. Her thoughts were in turmoil, not just due to Sofia’s words but also because Javier had given up a significa

Claire only dared to open her eyes to reveal her vulnerability when she was alone. She eventually drifted off to sleep, and it was already dark outside when she woke up. As she tried to compose herself and adjust her body, she realized someone was lying beside her.Claire observed the person beside her, noticing he remained asleep as she shifted. As she gazed at him, she felt a pang of remorse. Javier must be exhausted, constantly shuttling between the company and the hospital. Despite this, he never complained or let it show. He was always so strong.Sofia’s words hit home. Claire realized that Javier, like everyone else, could feel exhausted and helpless. She had always regarded him as a powerful figure and ignored those facts.Claire shifted her position to face Javier and gazed at him in the dim light. His face was barely discernable, but she focused on his eyes and lips, determined to commit every detail to memory. She knew this might be her last chance to do so.After a restl

The inevitable would always catch up in the end. No matter how much she tried to avoid it and deny reality, the day would inevitably arrive. Claire knew that Sofia wouldn’t be lenient this time. She wasn’t sure why this particular thought had sprung to mind.After some thought, Claire took a deep breath and clenched her hands before calmly saying, “Aunt Sofia, I…I haven’t made up my mind. Please give me more time, okay?” She couldn’t possibly leave Javier right now. During these few days, she had tried but failed. On the other end of the phone, Sofia appeared to have lost all patience. When she heard Claire’s response, she yelled, “What do you want, Claire Weiss? Do you really want to sully my son’s name? Will you only be happy then?”The severity of Sofia’s words hurt Claire. She hurried to clarify, “Aunt Sofia, please hear me out. It’s not what you think.”However, she was coldly interrupted. “Enough. I don’t want to hear any of it. I have already told you all the pros and cons

Sofia was working in the back garden. She really liked the expensive flowers that Hattie had sent her. As such, she went and planted it herself.Hattie was obedient and intelligent, and she lacked the arrogance that came with being the daughter of a wealthy family. She was planting the flowers with Sofia, giving Sofia the impression that she had found her best friend. It would be ideal if a flawless woman like Hattie could marry into the Marquez family.The Synder family was compatible with the Marquez family, and Sofia had heard that Hattie had always had a crush on Javier.With that in mind, Sofia asked Hattie to stay for dinner after they finished planting the flowers. Naturally, Hattie was happy and obediently said, “It’s my pleasure to have dinner with you, Aunt Sofia.” Sofia was delighted to receive praise, which improved her opinion of Hattie.During dinner, she asked Hattie, “Hattie, you’re not young. Has someone ever caught your attention? You can tell me.”Hattie blush

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
