The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 632 I Will
Raina deeply regretted going out with Claire that day. She couldn't ignore the tension in the room as Claire and Charles shared odd looks. It was clear the two weren't a couple, but even Raina could tell something was off between them.After the waiter brought all their dishes, Charles no longer spoke. He merely cut up Claire's food into little pieces for her. Similarly, Claire kept her head down in silence. The silence felt strange. In fact, it was uncomfortable for Raina. It bothered her so much that she intentionally cleared her throat and said, "Claire, you haven't introduced us to each other. I'm guessing he's the famous Charles Yackley, right?"She simultaneously kept a close eye on Charles. Yet, the latter maintained a neutral expression, which only frustrated her. While Raina wasn't usually interested in other people's business, she needed to ensure Claire's safety, so she put her pride aside to gauge Charles' credibility.Claire nodded as if she had just realized the awkw
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 633 Exceptional Tenderness
Thomas pursed his lips, feeling just as worried when he saw her expression. With a nod, he agreed, "Indeed. Claire's been through a lot, but we're already doing our best to help. Whatever happens to them next is up to fate. So, don't fret too much over it, okay?"Raina nodded and thought, "That's true. Thomas and I can't do anything to help Claire and Javier's relationship. Still, I hope those two turn out okay regardless of how this ends."…Claire finally returned home and started her nighttime routine before bed. Although there was much to deal with tomorrow, she focused on resting now. After all, she needed to live happily for the sake of her child. After getting up last night without experiencing any abnormalities, Claire was more at peace today. She figured she had been too anxious recently, which caused her to hallucinate, so it was best to sleep early. Thus, she lay in bed and drifted off into a slumber. Yet, she struggled to get proper rest that night for some reason. It
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 634 Greedy for Once
Javier watched the slumbering Claire with gentle affection that poured from his eyes.On the other hand, Claire dared not exhale too harshly. A knot had formed in her stomach as she struggled between not wanting to get caught and hoping Javier would notice she was awake. The longest time passed, and her defenses were on the verge of collapse. That was when Javier gingerly planted his lips on hers. It only lasted for a moment, but the exchange was enough to make her once steely resolve sway. Heart pounding, she nearly squealed but forced herself to stay still.Then, Javier dragged himself out of bed and exited the room unwillingly. Up until the moment her bedroom shut, many thoughts rattled Claire's mind, giving her the urge to stop Javier from leaving. Yet, in the end, she stopped herself. She waited a long time after Javier left before deeply exhaling, the invisible weight on her shoulders vanishing.Javier's scent lingered in the room. Claire couldn't help staying in bed
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 635 One of a Kind
"Let me know if anything catches your fancy. Say, we've known each other for some time, yet I don't know your likes and dislikes well enough," Charles stated warmly. At the same time, his chest constricted as it was abnormal for him to care so much about a woman, especially one like Claire.Claire grew tense as she wasn't used to such friendliness from Charles, so she questioned his motives, thinking, "Hah! I'm not that conceited to believe he'd fall in love with a woman like me. If he's up to something, it's likely because Charles wants to use my awkward relationship with Javier against him."Shrugging off her doubts, she coldly replied, "Anything's fine with me.""That's not possible. You're one of a kind, so only the best items are worthy of you," replied an unbothered Charles, who didn't take her seriously. He didn't wait for Claire's response and instead turned to the shop attendant beside him. "Bring her your shop's finest pieces. She'll select something among them."Without
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 636 I Don't Need to Explain
Thomas needed to ask Claire what was going on in person. He knew there were some things he had no right to ask since she was his superior, but they had spent so much time together at work that the two had become close. In fact, they were as close as siblings now. Thus, he needed to look out for her safety.Soon enough, Claire exited the washroom and froze when she saw a pensive Thomas. She asked, "Were you looking for me?"Thomas nodded before leading her to an obscure corner, ensuring to check the perimeters occasionally. Once alone, he asked, "Claire, what's going on? Please tell me the truth. I didn't believe it when Raina told me—how did you come to know Charles? Not only that, but you're also with him now? Don't you know he's a dangerous figure?"It was no surprise to Claire that Thomas said that; Charles' ruthlessness wasn't exactly a secret. She understood Thomas was merely looking out for her but couldn't quite explain the complicated situation, so she helplessly shrugged. "
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 637 Reluctant to Leave
Thomas glumly nodded, still unwilling to accept that fact. At the same time, he felt Claire and Charles' interactions made it seem like they were genuinely dating. Conflicted, he could only relay the information Claire had given him earlier. "Claire also told me that she had only gotten together with Javier to get revenge on him. Don't you think that's rather bizarre?" Raina stated, no longer knowing who to trust. However, she knew Claire like the back of her hand, so she doubted Claire was telling Thomas the truth. Nevertheless, Raina struggled to comprehend what had caused Claire to behave this way."Yeah. Claire admitted it herself," Thomas replied despondently. He winced when he recalled how miserable Claire looked as she hid her sorrow earlier. A sigh left Raina's lips. The two stayed in grim silence before ultimately heading back to the office. …On the other hand, Charles suggested they walk back to her home, to which Claire agreed. She was unusually calm throughout thei
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 638 She Left
Javier had been participating in an important meeting all day after visiting Claire, so he couldn't rest until he got home that night. These days, his family's and company's affairs had been pulling him apart at the seams. His knitted brows and darkened gaze indicated how agonized he felt while enduring everything. Usually, Ollie would greet him at the end of a difficult day, leaping into his arms and gingerly pushing his brows out of their frowning state. Ollie would even say, "Stop it, Dad. Frowning makes you ugly."That often led to a slither of affection or a gentle look on Javier's face, which eased his grim demeanor significantly. However, Ollie was in a coma, leaving no one to cure Javier's sorrows anymore.Henry knew that much and couldn't help worrying about Javier's declining happiness, thinking, "Mr. Marquez can't go on like this. Plus, I don't know if he'll live through the blow I'm about to deal him. At this rate, I'm too afraid to tell him."The more Henry dwelled on
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 639 No Longer Have Control
Claire was deeply asleep and unaware of the perils she would soon face. Instead, she dreamt about her past with Javier and Ollie as they played together in the park.Only stillness filled the room while her bedside lamp glowed lightly. Her brows remained relaxed and unburdened by negative emotions, while her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow onto her cheeks. She had become a statue, forever frozen in a tranquil slumber.That was what Charles saw when he entered the room. He approached Claire without making a sound, even ensuring to breathe lightly for fear of waking her. Charles had never behaved so cautiously for a woman, nor had he cared about other women's feelings or worried about their happiness."I must be sick; it seems like I no longer have control over things," he thought.Claire seemed peacefully asleep, but there always seemed to be a hint of sadness lingering on her slightly furrowed brows. It made Charles' heart sink, and he didn't like seeing her in distress. Charles

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
