Shawn looked at Hattie in silence and abruptly felt like laughing at himself. He, of course, knew what unrequited love felt like, given that he was in the same boat as she was.“I don’t care if I piss Javier off. It was enough for me to remain as the only woman by his side, even if only as a little sister,” Hattie sighed softly and then said while he was in his reverie, “However, Claire Weiss suddenly appeared in his life not long after! I knew their relationship wasn’t as simple as it seemed from the moment I laid my eyes on that woman, and sure enough, what I feared the most has happened.”She grew emotional the more she spoke, and even her voice started to crack. “I only did so because I had no other choice, Shawn. Claire’s pregnant. If I didn’t do anything, I would no longer be able to stay by his side.”It seemed as though she had finally confessed her darkest secrets, and she burst into tears from the relief.Shawn felt his heart soften again at the sight of her crying, but h
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 437 It’s All My Fault
“It looks like I’ve found a way to keep this hidden,” Hattie thought. Nighttime quietly arrived.Shawn had unconsciously consumed many drinks, likely due to all his pent-up feelings, and it was only when it was too late that he realized that the red wine had a strong alcohol content. Hence, he was now utterly drunk and probably wouldn’t even be able to make it home. However, Hattie continued to refill his glass which made him want to both reject her and indulge, and it wasn’t long before he lost consciousness.Hattie was sober as she looked at him sprawled on the table. She only had a few drinks and surreptitiously dumped the rest.“Shawn. Hey, Shawn.” She called and gently nudged him to see if he would wake, but he didn’t respond at all. He was obviously drunk and had passed out from all the drinking. A sly smirk appeared on her face at the sight of this.Shawn woke up with a splitting headache the next morning. As his vision slowly came into focus, he was greeted by the sight
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 438 Assuming Responsibility
Shawn waited, but Hattie had kept herself locked in the bathroom. She probably wasn’t able to accept reality and couldn’t bear to look at him. With his emotions in turmoil, he sighed, got up, and went to the room next door. They would both need time to come to terms with what had unexpectedly happened between them. He suddenly didn’t have the nerve to face her, and it was likely the same for her as well.He didn’t know when she had left, only that he had been zoning out in the study for quite some time when one of the household staff came and informed him of this. He felt as though a large rock had rolled off his chest, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was still hungover from last night and had a mild headache. His mind was a mess, and he couldn’t recall what exactly happened, but he couldn’t undo what had been done, so he would definitely take responsibility for it.It was something he would bear.This had happened because he had inadvertently discovered her secret, so now he w
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 439 Traitor
Javier watched as his subordinate left and felt his annoyance subside at the thought of how she wouldn’t be at risk because she would have his protection tonight. He had something important to look into tonight; otherwise, he would have accompanied her to the party. If something were to happen to her, he would definitely bury everyone at the party along with her. His expression involuntarily relaxed with that thought in mind.He ordered his driver to stop in front of a black villa in the suburbs before getting out of the car alone.Henry, who remained in the car, couldn’t help asking out of concern. “Shall I accompany you, Mr. Marquez?”“Just stay in the car and don’t go anywhere. I’ll be fine on my own.” With that, he slowly entered the villa.Henry sighed and had no choice but to obey. He stared at the back of Javier’s figure with a worried expression on his face. The place that Javier was entering was the headquarters of the dark web, which was the most mysterious organization i
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 440 I Like It
A host was delivering a speech at the seaside villa.“Good evening, everyone, and welcome to tonight’s appreciation party, a celebration of the commencement of production for the highly anticipated television series, ‘Griffin.’ We’re thrilled to have you all here, and as a token of our appreciation, we’ve arranged for a special performance by the renowned dancer, Chantelle. Everyone, please welcome her with a round of applause.”As the applause echoed from below the stage, Chantelle made her grand entrance with an air of arrogance. Claire gazed at the proud peacock of a dancer, feeling a tumultuous blend of sentiments. Claire once had a burning desire to be a dancer, but the Weiss family thought it was impossible. Unfortunately, a series of life-altering events occurred, leaving her without the necessary credentials to pursue her lifelong dream.“Claire, Dad has chosen me to perform for tomorrow’s banquet, so you better watch out. You’re an outcast in our family, so nothing will c
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 441 Refusing to Die Young
Claire was taken aback and perplexed by his actions. He had already risen and left with his wine glass before she could inquire about his intentions.Speechless, she retracted her gaze, thinking she would never be taken in by the deceptive machinations of this man. Who knew what he was planning?Then, Claire felt bored and sat elsewhere, deciding not to pay attention to Charles. His words kept playing in her head for some reason. Charles claimed to know who had harmed her. Could it be a lie? Why did Charles seem to know so much about her?She became increasingly curious the more she thought and felt compelled to uncover the truth.After hesitating for a moment, she stood up with a determined look and picked up the card Charles had left. She decided to ask him about it since he claimed to know, just to confirm whether or not he was telling the truth.Claire soon located the private room using the card provided by Charles. Upon seeing the dark and somber room, she let out a snort.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 442 I'm Worried
Claire heaved a deep sigh, exiting Charles’ private lounge. Although he hadn’t done anything to upset or harm her during their chat, she couldn’t help being cautious around him. It was likely because there was more to Charles than meets the eye. Knowing very little about the mysterious Charles made Claire wary of him. …After a full day of work, Claire realized it was dark out and headed to meet Thomas.At that moment, Thomas was chatting with some brand representatives. His neither insecure nor arrogant demeanor delighted the representatives, who smiled at him and thought he was a talent worth investing in.Claire stood aside, waiting until the representatives departed before approaching Thomas.Thomas instantly turned around when he heard her with a bright smile. “You’re finally here, Claire! I’ve been looking everywhere for you all day—” He noticed Claire’s complexion seemed paler than usual and asked, “What’s wrong, Claire? Are you okay?”Claire instinctively touched her che
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 443 Stalker
The person followed her until they saw the expensive car pulling up outside the villa. That was when they stopped in fear and no longer dared to stalk her.The first thing Claire saw after exiting the villa was Javier’s car. It had appeared so randomly that she thought she was mistaken. However, as she strolled over to inspect who was inside it, the window rolled down to reveal Javier’s handsome face.“Javier!” she exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”“Why can’t I be here? Are you nervous?” he replied blankly.Seeing he was about to get angry, Claire piped up, “N-No! I’m not nervous—I was just curious about why you came here. So, why did you—”“Aren’t you getting in?” Javier interrupted with a frown.That snapped Claire back to her senses. She hurriedly got into the car. Lips curling sheepishly, Clare knew Javier was upset from his glum expression, so she plucked up the courage to hold his arm. “Thanks for coming to pick me up, Javier. See? I left the event as early as I could

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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 908 I Don't Care
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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 907 Scared
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 Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 906 Talented
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
