All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

If the bride were to be another woman, Sofia would acknowledge her as the daughter-in-law as long as that bride had a good family and reputation. After all, Javier must have really liked that bride.However, Sofia could never let a woman like Claire join the Marquez family.If that were truly the case, the Marquez family’s reputation would be ruined.The more Sofia thought about it, the more depressed she became. She couldn’t swallow dinner that night and wallowed in frustration the whole time.Once Pedro returned home from work, he heard the housekeepers reporting to him about Sofia’s reluctance to finish dinner.Sofia was a woman who prioritized the quality of life, so once Pedro heard about her not eating dinner, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.After entering the master bedroom, Pedro noticed Sofia sitting on the couch all by herself with an immensely dark expression.“What’s wrong, Sof? Who made you angry? Why don’t you tell me about it?”When Sofia noticed Pedro’s ret

Pedro’s expression became weird as well, but he quickly restored his expression to one of tranquility for the sake of the entire Marquez family. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already made myself very clear. If you choose to disappear right now and agree not to marry Javier, the baby in your womb and the child named Ollie will be spared. I trust you won’t need me to teach you what to do next, hmm?”As a father, he was left without a choice.The Marquez family was a chaotic mess from the start. Now that Javier finally obtained the ultimate authority and was able to calm things down, if he were to marry Claire, not only would he bring shame to the family, but the company would also be in a perilous situation.Sometime later, Claire finally spoke up once again.“I understand. Don’t worry. I’m a mother too. I think you two know what my final decision is.”Once she was done speaking, Claire felt as if all of her energy had been drained at that moment. She could only lean against

At that moment, Claire’s strong facade was threatening to crumble.Soon, tears started flowing down her cheeks.Suddenly, the sound of a bell ringing could be heard coming from the school.Claire knew that Ollie was about to exit the school grounds, so she quickly wiped her tears and did her best to control her emotions.As expected, Ollie ran out of his classroom soon enough.After scanning his surroundings, he was able to locate Claire’s silhouette a moment later.Surprise and delight appeared on his face as he bolted toward her happily.Then, he hugged her tightly. “Mommy, you’re finally here to pick me up! I’m so happy!”Warmth flooded Claire’s heart at that moment as she flashed her son a bright smile. Then, she scooped him into her arms lovingly. “You’re such a good boy, Ollie. I’ll come to fetch you every day from now on, okay?”Ollie quickly nodded happily in his mother’s arms. “Okay, Mommy! I love you so much!”When the children around Ollie noticed his elation, they

Claire didn’t dare to look into Javier’s eyes. She stammered, “W-Well, I’m t-too exhausted tonight, so—”The rest of her sentence came out in broken segments because anyone would have found it difficult to believe her excuse.Besides, Claire was starting to regret everything. That wasn’t what she wanted to say in the first place. She had no idea why she started to run her mouth without thinking it through.Javier could feel the annoyance returning to plague him instantly once he heard Claire’s excuse. His expression became icy as he laughed coldly. “Are you really tired? Claire, are you hiding something from me?”Initially, he wanted to ask her that question once Claire felt better, but since she was starting to let it slip that something truly was wrong, it was time for him to punish her.Claire was starting to become bolder nowadays. He never thought that she had learned how to lie in his face.Meanwhile, the woman was surprised by Javier’s question. She knew that he was way to

It seemed that Claire had no choice but to stand her ground. Since Sofia was the one who started the fight, it meant that Claire could go all out just to finish it.She smiled at Hattie, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Instead, she drawled while dragging out her words. “When you mention the word ‘future’—”Claire didn’t finish her sentence on purpose. She shook her head at the same time, seemingly feeling sorry for Hattie.Naturally, Hattie understood the underlying meaning of the unfinished sentence. However, Claire didn’t even mention her name, so she could only swallow her anger, seeing as Sofia was right beside her in Javier’s residence.“I’ll punish her later,” she thought angrily.A cruel glint appeared in her eyes. No matter what, Hattie needed to come up with a way to chase Claire out of Diroux Residences.After scanning the surroundings, Hattie looked at Sofia before suggesting in a gentle tone, “Aunt Sofia, I’m a little hungry now. Why don’t we go back and have lun
