All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

There had never been a woman who was blatant enough to disappear from under Javier’s nose all this while. He had even decided to teach Claire a good lesson once he had found her to ensure she never did this again.Anyone who crossed him had to suffer the consequences; she was no exception.As the day progressed into the evening, Javier remained secluded in his study without once stepping out.Patty was worried. She knew he was anxious about Claire’s disappearance, but his body wouldn’t be able to handle the strain if he continued this way. With that thought in mind, she prepared a simple meal and gently knocked on the door to his study.“Who is it?” Javier’s tone was sullen, and he sounded as though he was in a horrible mood.Patty sighed before gently saying, “It’s me, Sir, Patty. You didn’t sleep last night and haven’t eaten all day today. Your body won’t be able to handle the stress if you continue like this. I’ve prepared a simple meal. Please eat a little.”“I’m not eating.

Did Charles just say that Javier has feelings for her?The thought had crossed Claire’s mind, but she wasn’t full of herself.She and Javier lived in two different worlds, so it was absolutely impossible.“That’s enough, Charles. What you’ve just said can’t be possible. He doesn’t love me nor I him, but I will go with you just so I can witness the extent of your downfall.”She wasn’t willing to admit that she couldn’t bear for anything to happen to Javier, so she’d rather willingly walk into Charles’ trap than see any harm come to Javier.She did indeed have a soft spot for Javier and didn’t want to burden him.Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Charles disregarded everything else that Claire had said, and a conniving smile appeared on his face.“Well then, follow me.”With that, he gestured for them to enter his car, and it was at that moment Claire realized the vehicle had been waiting nearby for a while.She glanced at him with intrigue and had a bad feeling when s

Ending the call, suspicion appeared in Javier’s eyes when he glanced at the glass of water that Sofia had brought.Claire’s sudden departure without a word was completely out of character. Per his understanding, she wouldn’t do something so irresponsible.The dangerous look in his eyes intensified as he contemplated this, and he couldn’t help being suspicious of his mother’s demeanor when she left.The Marquez gala was happening soon, and he understood the pros and cons of this event. As a man, he had never intended to place Claire in the middle of the storm.He had never once taken those scheming geezers seriously.The thought of this possibility made him frown in annoyance, and he pushed his suspicions to the back of his mind.Right now, finding Claire was more urgent. He could take his time dealing with other matters once this was done.Three days later.There were still no updates or developments regarding the search for Claire. Javier only slept for a few hours these past

A few of the senior members of the Marquez family were instantly intrigued. They wished Javier would never appear again as the position of the family head was highly coveted.Pedro and Sofia’s faces were extremely gloomy. They knew what those old geezers were thinking but couldn’t do anything about it.Sofia was still mad at Javier for disregarding the gala for Claire and couldn’t believe that she was still a nuisance even though she had left. Sofia secretly rejoiced that she had driven Claire away early on; otherwise, things would turn terrible if it continued this way. She was too preoccupied to pay any attention to Hattie, so naturally, she didn’t notice the stormy expression on Hattie’s face.Hattie had just found out that Javier wouldn’t be attending the gala, which turned her appearance into a joke and ruined her plans. Although she was angry, she sensed that the situation wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared, so she decided to look into it once she returned home. She hope

Shawn almost choked to death on his own saliva because of Javier’s words. He had to clear his throat a few times before he could say what was on his mind.“Javier, d-don’t tell me you’ve been dumped?”This was what currently interested him the most. Claire’s abrupt departure clearly showed that she didn’t want to be with Javier. This major news was enough to keep him occupied for the next few days, and what’s more, Javier wasn’t showing his usual apathetic expression. The look he had on his face right now clearly showed that he had an unsatisfied desire.Javier clenched his jaw. “Get out.” His expression abruptly darkened, and he was looking at Shawn with hostility.Shawn couldn’t help but shiver under his gaze as he laughed awkwardly. “Pretend I didn’t say anything at all.” He might love gossip, but he still cherished his own life.Now that Shawn had finally quieted down, Javier impatiently questioned, “Is there anything else? If not, get lost.”Shawn’s mood sank, and he instant
