The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 49 Secret Lover
Claire wiped away the cream on Ollie’s face. In the end, she did not scold him when she thought this was all because he lacked fatherly love. Ollie was disappointed, but he responded obediently and did not try to persuade his father any further.On the side, Patty felt pity for the kid and continued to persuade Javier instead. “Sir, it’s better for both parents to send their child to school. Otherwise, the child might be bullied at school.”Claire had the same idea as Patty. When they were staying abroad, Ollie was made fun of by other kids. He was obedient and acted like he didn’t care, but…how could a child really ignore that? However, she would never force Javier. “Okay, I’ll go with Claire tomorrow,” Javier said as she was about to dismiss Patty.It was beyond her expectations that he would agree. Ollie was overjoyed and slid down his chair. Then he went over to Javier and kissed him on the cheek.“Dad’s the best. Thank you, Dad. I’m so happy,” Ollie said happily. Javier

Claire couldn’t be bothered by these people and pulled Thomas away. “Ignore them. Let’s go.”Thomas was clueless about why Claire had called him over, but he did as she ordered and came to the studio. When he saw what was prepared inside, he looked at Claire in confusion.“Right, I forgot to tell you. Our goal today is to get you acquainted with the camera, and we’ll take some shots for publicity too. We’ll use your style in the ‘Traverse’ film.”Then, she gave him an encouraging smile. She believed that Thomas wouldn’t disappoint her even though it had been quite some time since he had done this.Thomas nodded but was still nervous because he hadn’t been in front of the camera in a long time. He wasn’t sure if he could pull it off. Claire sensed his anxiety and encouraged him. “Don’t be afraid to be yourself. I’ve always believed you’re the best. Go and get prepared, and we’ll start soon.”Claire spoke with the photographer first, fearing Thomas would be anxious. When she returne

“I’m not giving up on myself. Let’s keep going. I’ll try one last time,” Thomas said as a tear rolled down his cheek. Years of defeat and despair have devastated him. All the ridicule and skepticism he received could only be responded to with forbearance. He had sometimes forgotten how to fight, but now he was determined to seize this rare opportunity.Even though Claire’s expression gradually softened, it was still stern. “Whatever. If you’re going to act, do it right. If you can’t, you’re free to leave the studio!”She then motioned for the photographer to begin. Her fiery temper astounded everyone in the studio.“Come on, come on! Everyone in their proper places. Let’s all focus, alright?” The photographer ordered with an obsequious smile and winked at everyone to get in place.Once again, the shoot started. Thomas closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Then, he reenacted the lines that he once memorized to heart and performed the essence of the character.He either spoke w

Claire walked forward with a smile. She handed Thalia the gift she had prepared and greeted her gently. Slowly, they got to know each other. Though Thalia was young, her long-suffering had given her a sense of maturity.With a pleading gaze, Thalia asked, “Claire, since you’re Thomas’ agent, you will help him, right?”Claire nodded with a smile. “Of course, you don’t have to worry. That’s my job.”Thalia continued to look expectantly at Claire as if she were still worried. “Thank you, Claire. My brother will definitely work hard. He’s also the best brother in the whole wide world. I once overheard that he had to work five jobs a day to help cure my illness. Also, he works very diligently in the company. It’s just that he never had the opportunity...”Thalia was suddenly agitated, and her eyes were filled with tears as she sat up. She was about to kneel before Claire, so Thomas quickly stopped her. “Hey, don’t be so exaggerated. It’s not like I get to take five jobs every day. Plus,

Thomas nodded, and his expression changed. He was both shocked and moved at the same time. Even if he still had doubts and was wary of Claire, he would repay her generosity from now on—perhaps even for the rest of his life.He retracted his thoughts and smiled at Thalia. Then, he comforted her, “Okay, Thalia. You should rest now and don’t overthink. Just leave the rest to me.”Thalia nodded obediently and closed her eyes, but her mind replayed the doctor’s words. Thomas had difficulty falling asleep after his sister had. He finally pulled out an old script and thought back on what he had almost given up on. He vowed to get back on his feet, whether for Claire or himself. He must succeed!After paying the medical expenses, Claire was almost broke. The medical fee nearly depleted her savings. When she went abroad, it was not exaggerating to say she was penniless. She had saved up little by little abroad and planned to use it as Ollie’s college fund. But seeing Thalia today, she couldn
Last Updated : 2024-10-29The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 54 It Hurts
Javier wanted to wake her up. But, looking at her sleeping face, he couldn’t bring himself to wake her. Perhaps he didn’t want to disturb such a rare moment. Ignoring the tender feeling in his heart, he gingerly walked over and took Claire in his arms.Claire opened her eyes as he lifted her into his arms. When their gazes met, the room fell silent.“What are you doing? Let me go!” Claire struggled. Hearing that, Javier subconsciously let go, and Claire fell onto the carpet. She grimaced in pain, “It hurts!” She rubbed her back and grunted in pain. Then, she glared at Javier and snarled, “Javier Marquez, how could you drop me onto the ground?!”Now she was fully awake and was very upset. “You told me to let go. I just wanted to put you back in bed. Who knew you would be so ungrateful,” Javier snorted. He felt no pity looking at Claire getting up from the carpet. “Who asked you to bring me back to bed? I can sue you for conspiring against me in the middle of the night!” Clair

Thomas was overcome with emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes. However, Claire was indifferent toward his feelings and merely smiled at him. Then she stated solemnly, “Okay, I understand how you feel. However, if you truly want to show appreciation, put your all into your work. I’ll be waiting for you to return the money!”Thomas smiled. After a few days, he discovered Claire was a gentle soul despite her harsh words. She was serious, but her inner kindness came first.“That’s for sure, of course! This is also what drives me to work hard. Claire, you’re not only my agent but also my creditor.” Thomas laughed and caught the document Claire threw at him. It was a training schedule. Curious, he flipped it open and looked shocked as he read it.Pointing at a line, he asked, “Claire, is this a mistake? Why does my training include martial arts?” David had made a training schedule for him in the past, but such things were usually the same. It was no different for other celebrities.

Claire turned and saw that Nicholas was standing behind David. She realized what was going on right away. These two were here to get a good laugh and ridicule them. Thomas paused his training when he heard his voice. He rushed over when he noticed Claire’s tense expression.David saw him and sneered, “Claire, I see that your celebrity is very protective of you. He just gave up training seeing that I’m here. Why don’t you guys spread some scandals? Maybe a media outlet would be willing to report on it.” When he finished speaking, he showed a contemptuous smile while Nicholas laughed with him. Now that they were making up things about their relationship, Claire did not give in and retorted, “Well, unlike you, I won’t deliberately pull some unnecessary public relations stunts and make things up. However, I will take your advice. I had my eye on a rookie, and I’m prepared to make them an on-screen couple.” David ignored her words, shook his head, and laughed as he warned Claire not

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
