The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 408 You’re So Silly
Initially, Javier wanted to reprimand her, but his displeasure disappeared along with Claire’s smile. He sighed contentedly and finally reached out to wrap Claire tightly in his arms. “It’s alright. Everything is in the past now. You have to get a good rest now. We’ll talk tomorrow,” Javier murmured in her ears and hugged her waist. Claire stayed in his arms this time. She didn’t struggle but nodded gently and snuggled deeper into his embrace.Strangely, she no longer felt the overwhelming rejection for him as she felt before. She no longer felt insecure as she lay against his chest, feeling his heartbeat. This was how she truly felt on the inside.Claire closed her eyes and was lost in her thoughts, and she could feel herself becoming drowsier as Javier carried her upstairs. She had been waiting for him so long that it was time for her to rest. Claire was in a daze when she felt herself being placed on a soft and comfortable bed. The coziness of it prompted her to murmur and s
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 409 Heart Broken
Patty gave it some thought before shaking her head dismissively. Ollie observed her and immediately inquired, “What are you thinking, Grandma Patty? Why are you shaking your head?”Patty patted Ollie’s head lovingly. She didn’t want to burden him with these complicated matters. She casually told him, “It’s nothing, Ollie. Grandma Patty suddenly thought of something about that bad woman, but I don’t think it’s related to your Mommy’s situation, so I didn’t mention it.” Ollie nodded innocently. He was intelligent, but he was still too young to comprehend the complexities of the situation.“It’s all because Ollie is too young to protect Mommy, so she got hurt,” Ollie sobbed. He looked very dejected as tears started to well up in his eyes.Javier was about to leave when he noticed Ollie crying and came to a halt. His heart couldn’t help but break for Ollie. He was about to say something to cheer him up when he remembered what Patty had said earlier. “Patty, what did you just say about
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 410 Who Did It
The poison had such a strong effect on Claire that it made her lose control of her emotions. She frowned deeply as she listened to Patty explain her condition. Patty tried to comfort her by saying, “Madam, you have luck on your side, so don’t worry. The doctor said the baby is safe and healthy. All you need to do is rest well, and everything will be fine. Don’t worry. Fortunately, Mr. Marquez discovered you in time, and you were able to avoid the worst-case scenario. From now on, I will personally monitor your diet. We will not make the same mistakes again.” Patty’s face was filled with sadness as she said this. She felt guilty and partially responsible for what had happened because her negligence had led to the incident.Claire reassured her, “Don’t overthink it, Patty. This incident had nothing to do with you. Someone must have schemed everything.” Indeed, it was no coincidence that she had consumed such a slow-reacting poison. Someone must have given it to her intentionally.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 411 Kill Their Child
Hearing this, the guy glanced at the document Javier had handed him, then said respectfully, “Yes, sir.”He left without any further delay.Anyone could see that Javier was in a bad mood. No one wanted to be the one to bear his anger. In his office, Javier sat behind his desk coldly.He was furious whenever he thought of Claire’s precarious condition and the fact that his child had almost been murdered.No one had ever challenged him like this before. Whoever it was, they were courting death.Unfortunately, he had no idea who was behind all this.For the first time in his life, he felt helpless.He had a lot of enemies, but none of them dared to hurt his wife while she was under his eye.He thought that he had protected Claire well enough. Barely anyone knew that she was pregnant.Who wanted her dead so badly? Or, to be specific, who wanted to kill their child so badly?He was a proud man and refused to admit that some things in the world were out of his control.But when he considere
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 412 Miscarriage
Shawn appeared to have a million questions and seemed oblivious to Javier’s expression.He could be incredibly nosy when he wanted to be, and Javier knew that. However, he wasn’t in the mood to entertain him today.Coldly, he said, “If you have nothing to report, please get lost.”“Someone’s in a bad temper,” Shawn thought to himself. He rubbed his nose and laughed awkwardly before saying out loud, “Why are you so angry, Javier? Let’s just talk it out.”Anything that could make Javier so angry must be something severe. That just made Shawn even more curious about what it could be.Javier ignored him.Shawn had never seen him as angry as this. He was itching to ask questions, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave.Boldly, he went up to Javier and asked quietly, “Javier, tell me what happened. Has something happened to Claire?”He was just throwing out his guesses when he said that, but Javier looked up and glared at him, the emotions in his eyes a mix of anger and scrutiny.Two seconds later,
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 413 All Thanks to You
Shawn was planning to send some people to help Claire out.Even though he didn’t really know Claire well, she was still Javier’s wife and, therefore, his friend.Shawn finally found something he could do to help.As he walked toward the door, Javier asked, “Shawn, do you have any suspicions?”His question was out of the blue and startled Shawn. He turned and stared at him blankly. “What?”“Suspicions? What did he mean by that?” he thought to himself.It didn’t take long for Shawn to realize what Javier was trying to say. “Javier, Claire is your wife. I don’t know who would want to hurt her,” he forced a mirthless laugh.Javier did not answer. He just kept staring at him calmly.Shawn felt a little unnerved by his stare. He looked away, saying, “Don’t tire yourself, Javier. Bye.”He turned and disappeared out of the door. It wasn’t hard to see that he was trying to avoid Javier.Javier stared at the door even after Shawn had left, his expression cold, lost in thought.He only looked a

“If Javier found out…” Then they’d be dead. Hattie knew this, and she didn’t like it.The man opposite her got startled before hiding his panic. “Don’t worry, Hattie. I’ve done everything I can. There will be no problem. Thank goodness my men were quick enough to kill the chef. Even if Javier finds her, he will not suspect you.”His confident tone made Hattie relax. Forcing a smile, he said, “Thank you, Igor. I will say good words to my father on your behalf.”Igor looked delighted at her offer. “That would be great, Hattie. I won’t regret doing all this for you.”Hattie laughed without saying anything, but her lowered eyes betrayed her disgust toward Igor.She wouldn’t have had anything to do with him if she had a choice, as he wasn’t easy to deal with.Even so, she had to force a smile as she asked, “Would anyone find out the origin of that drug you gave Claire? Also, why didn’t she have a miscarriage? Is it because there wasn’t enough of the stuff?”That had been bothering her for

The dark room fell into an oppressive silence—so quiet that all that was left to hear was the two of them breathing. Everything suddenly seemed incredibly ominous.The only light in the room shone on Charles’ face, which made him look more mysterious.The air around him was cold. Despite his striking features, looking directly into his eyes felt like staring into an abyss of schemes and plots.They seemed to be able to look right into the soul.As he stood quietly to the side, Charles’ subordinate wondered what was going through his mind.He’d just sat there quietly and emotionlessly since learning that Claire was in trouble.It was hard to gauge what he was thinking about.After a while, a small flame suddenly burst into life in the dark room.The click of the lighter followed the sudden light, which illuminated parts of Charles’ face and darkened the rest. “Send someone to find out what happened to Claire,” he said lowly, his tone impassive. “Also, find out what Hattie is doing with

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

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
