The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 738 Utterly Ashamed
With these thoughts in mind, Claire braced herself to confront Sofia. She looked up to face her and said, "Sofia, I know you don’t like me, but please trust me when I say, I really need this job, and Javier needs me too." Sofia was raised with conservative values, so she believed that women should be meek and dutiful in their roles as a wife. Needless to say, she couldn’t accept what Claire was saying, and her anger flared up in an instant. "What a joke! How dare you think that Javier needs you? You would be saving him trouble at work by staying home. Who knows what your true intentions are? Stardust Entertainment is already a mess. How would it benefit you to insist on working there?" Besides, she had never liked Morrow, and this incident only added to her resentment.Claire wanted to protest, but she couldn’t find the words. She knew arguing with Sofia now would be futile, so she could only remain silent. As she was figuring out a response, Sofia continued, "Also, Javier call
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 739 Unstable Pregnancy
For some reason, she had become more and more afraid of being by herself lately. As her baby grew, she felt less secure by the day and wondered if it could be a side effect of the pregnancy. She hid in her room and scrolled through her socials for a moment. She also took time to inform Morrow that she was unfit to come to work today. After taking care of these matters, Claire laid back wearily on the sofa, glad that she could take the day off. She had arranged for Patty to bring her meal upstairs, and the doctor arrived shortly after she finished having her meal. The doctor was under Javier, so naturally he had high regard for Claire. After giving her a thorough checkup, he prescribed her some medication before concluding the examination.Sofia became anxious for her unborn grandchild as soon as she heard of the doctor’s arrival. She couldn't help but pace nervously by the stairs. When she saw the doctor approach after the checkup, Sofia quickly asked, "How is it? Is there anything
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 740 Is Offending Him a Good Idea?
She stroked her tummy gently, and muttered, "Do you know how difficult it is for Mommy? So, you have to grow up healthy, okay? As long as you’re alright, everything I went through would be worth it."As she spoke, Claire was overwhelmed by a surge of powerful emotions, it seemed as if she was being pulled into a warm hug. She was astounded by this sensation. This was probably the connection between a mother and their baby. Her unborn child probably heard her calls. On the other hand, Javier had arrived at the office early due to some work. Before he left, he had instructed the doctor to give Claire a thorough medical checkup so he could put his worries to rest. He had headed straight to the office to attend a meeting with the executives. However, there were some issues raised in the meetings. Besides the problems with the projects, the old hags in the company even tried to interfere with his family’s affairs. They said that they would never agree to him marrying Claire as it would
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 741 Don’t Be Upset
It was infuriating that Claire barely took his feelings into consideration at all. At this moment, Claire was fast asleep in the room, completely unaware of the harsh lesson she was about to learn. Due to her pregnancy, she was always worn out, so she quickly fell into a deep sleep as she lay on the comfortable sofa. It was already evening when she finally woke up. She was still feeling groggy from her sleep and could sense there was a change in her surroundings, so she slowly opened her eyes. She was met with Ollie’s adorable face right in front of her. Claire was overwhelmed with emotions when she realized Ollie was back. She struggled to get up from the bed and said softly, "Ollie, you’re back. Mommy missed you." She knew she was truly irresponsible. Initially, she had decided to pick Ollie up from school, but she ended up oversleeping. She felt so guilty toward him. However, Ollie was completely oblivious as to what was going on in her mind. He only felt relieved when he saw
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 742 Can’t Hurt Her
Claire was currently in a room upstairs with Ollie quietly. There were several notebooks and books placed on the table, and Ollie had buried his head deep into his homework. Occasionally, Claire would help Ollie with some questions. However, although Claire’s eyes were fixed on the books before her, she was clearly distracted and lost in thought. She felt a pang in her heart whenever she thought about what Javier and Sofia might be discussing downstairs. She knew Javier was extremely busy, but she couldn’t resolve these issues without him. It felt very uncomfortable to rely on Javier, but she had no choice. At that moment, Javier and Sofia sat in silence at the table, just as Claire had expected. For a while, neither one of them spoke. In the end, it was Sofia who finally broke the silence when she couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere any longer. "Javier, how long are you going to defend that woman?" She really couldn't see what other qualities Claire had that were worthy of
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 743 Couldn’t Bear It
Patty had just finished her work and was met with this scene when she came out. She was flabbergasted initially, as she couldn’t believe what was happening. She quickly snapped back to her senses and approached Sofia worriedly. Patty cautiously reached out her hand, but immediately withdrew it when she realized that she had overstepped her boundaries. "Madam, what's wrong? Don't be sad. You have to take care of yourself," Patty said. She felt helpless as she spoke because her words of comfort seemed futile. Sofia was aware that she was shedding tears before Patty, something that was absolutely unacceptable for someone in her position of power. She hesitated for a moment and quickly wiped away her tears while putting on a disdainful expression. "It’s fine. Why are you still here? You don’t have to concern yourself with this. It’s enough that you’re doing a good job," Sofia answered, her tone cold and distant. Patty knew she had overstepped her boundaries, but after working for S
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 744 Couldn’t Ignore It
Javier tried to shift his body, but he still felt a sense of fatigue washing over him. He couldn't tell if it was physical or emotional fatigue, but something felt out of place. He wasn't surprised that Sofia would leave tonight; on the contrary, he had expected it. Javier knew she was determined to leave because of his hurtful words to her and he had no intention of stopping her, especially after hearing what the doctor had said. He was completely engulfed by anger. He remembered that he was at the company, having just finished a meeting when he received the doctor's call. However, he hadn't anticipated that the doctor's words would be enough to infuriate him."Mr. Marquez, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Madam’s health. As long as she follows my instructions, she will deliver a healthy baby. But there is another incident that I’ve decided to report to you after some consideration. When I was giving Madam her checkup, Mrs. Marquez approached me and asked about the gender o
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 745 Perfect and Devoted
At this moment, it was already late at night. After a while, Claire nestled herself in Javier's embrace and drifted off to sleep. However, Javier couldn’t fall asleep. Initially, he felt a bit drowsy, but he couldn’t sleep when he saw the restrained and pained expression on Claire's face. Moreover, he really enjoyed watching Claire sleeping in his arms every night. He never imagined this would happen to him when he was in his early twenties. But now, he no longer felt repulsed by relationships as he once was. He used to believe that he would never fall in love with anyone. Love was something he looked down upon—something that he never imagined would happen. However, life really took him by surprise. In the end, nothing was as important as making this woman happy and content. With these thoughts, Javier couldn't help but sigh softly. He planted a gentle kiss on Claire's lips. She was perfect. However, everything was about to change, and nothing could change that. Early the next morn

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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 909 The People She Hated the Most
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
