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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
