All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 631 - Chapter 640

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

"Who cares if he sneaks into my room every night to be with me? So what if he acts like he misses me? It's all a show because he's now marrying another woman! What a joke!" Claire bitterly mused. No words could describe the pain she felt. Chest heaving, she desperately wanted to run to Javier and question whether he was marrying another woman, despite all those times he professed his love for her. However, she was too afraid of his answer and couldn't do it because she would risk getting caught by Javier."How do I dull this sharp ache in my heart?" Claire wondered, bringing her knees toward her chest as she sat on the ground. It felt like her insides were on fire. "How did things end up like this? I know I've told Javier to marry other women, who are excellent matches for him, but I never thought it would hurt this much to see it happen…"A sigh left Claire's lips as she hauled herself onto the bed. Her dull gaze drifted toward the ceiling while her mind raced with endless, chaoti

At this point, Henry knew nothing he said would change anything and fell silent for a moment. He realized his words would be futile and sighed as he stood up saying, “Well, Mrs. Marquez, I’ll be leaving for now. I still have to deal with some matters for Mr. Marquez. You should rest well and take care of your baby.” Claire nodded, but she secretly hoped he would’ve left sooner. She was finally able to make up her mind and was afraid that she would change it if Henry said one more thing, and her heart would soften. If that happened, all her efforts would be in vain. If it really came to that, she was afraid she would never have the courage to choose to leave Javier again.Because she was too eager to hide her emotions, Claire did not realize that Henry called her Mrs. Marquez again. The title was already engraved in her bones. Henry saw that Claire still didn't say much and knew that she intended for him to leave. He felt dejected as he slowly stood up and left. Before leaving, he to

"Huh, what do you mean?"Upon hearing this, Hattie couldn't help but laugh mockingly at herself, and her facade instantly fell apart. Her face twisted into an ugly frown, and she said hoarsely, "Do you have to be so cruel to me? We grew up together. You weren’t like this back then. You didn’t avoid me like you do now!"Hattie could no longer keep her emotions in check. Her dainty makeup was now ruined by her tears, and she grabbed onto his sleeve, unable to control herself any longer. Her tears flowed like a waterfall; her pain was evident. When Javier saw Hattie in this state, instead of feeling pity for her, he felt irritated. He frowned and glanced at her, then coldly shrugged off her hand that was on his sleeve. "Enough! Stop bothering me like this. I have to go to work. Take care of yourself."After Javier said that, he was already prepared to turn and leave.Hattie couldn't help but feel worse when she saw that he didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer. She put a

At the Yackley manor, Claire had just taken a nap, and when she woke up, she noticed that her phone screen had lit up. She had received a text message. She felt a mixture of emotions, but she forced herself to pick her phone up. Lately, she had been feeling very tired, probably because of her pregnancy. Her heart instantly warmed up when she saw it was a text from Ollie. She was relieved to know that Ollie was getting better, otherwise, he wouldn't be sending her messages. At this thought, Claire quickly replied, "Ollie, I’m here. I miss you so much. What are you doing?"Ollie replied, "I’m thinking of Mommy.""Me too. You must be a good boy, okay?" "Mommy, I’m very good. But when are you coming to pick me up? I can't wait any longer."Claire was at a loss after seeing this message. Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say and started to feel conflicted. Since Javier was about to marry Hattie, she had to pick Ollie up soon. Claire hesitated for a moment before sending him a reply. "O
