All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

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

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

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

Ollie and Patty were already resting in their rooms upstairs when they got home. A maid was about to get Patty, but Claire stopped her. She didn’t want to trouble others for what she could handle herself. Moreover, Patty had been busy with Ollie, and Claire knew she was exhausted.Glancing at the time, Claire picked up the grocery bags and headed toward the kitchen. Considering how late it was, they couldn’t afford to delay dinner any further. “I’ll go make dinner.”Claire dismissed all the kitchen staff except for one to help her. She took care of everything else herself. Javier observed Claire’s outward display of strength, which belied the anxiety and upset roiling beneath the surface. However, Claire avoided him, so he could only sulk on the living room couch. With what had happened today, he couldn’t help but suspect Claire was hiding her true feelings. Javier was perplexed as to what he had neglected to do that had caused Claire to maintain such fortitude in his presence.

Claire didn’t plan to argue with Tammy knowing she was just joking. “It’s fine,” Claire said casually. As David entered the office, he overheard Tammy’s words and was immediately intrigued by the pink letter. The sight of it before him excited him. Upon noticing Claire’s anxious demeanor, he wondered if she had a clandestine romantic interest within the company.The prospect of Morrow discovering this made David wonder if he would harbor resentment toward Claire. He really wanted to see how shameless Claire was to write love letters within the company. Then, he opened the letter. David’s blood pressure shot up as he read the letter. The letter was full of tender solicitude and bore all the hallmarks of a love letter. After reading the cheesy words, David became enraged and flung the letter at Claire.“How dare you write such a disgusting love letter.”Curious, Claire picked up the letter and read it. Instantly, she also felt awkward. “This isn’t mine. Plus, what does it have t
