The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 20 Way Out of Her League
Claire’s surroundings appeared dark as she had a cloth over her head; all she knew was that she was being led to a remote location. Her heart grew more and more anxious as time passed, and she desperately kicked the room door with her unbound legs. However, the door stayed closed.After struggling for quite some time, she finally heard the door open and vaguely saw outlines of a few large men entering the room.The cloth on her head was removed and she was immediately blinded by the sudden increase in brightness. Claire glared fiercely at the people before her once her eyes had gotten use to the light again.“Let me go right now, Chantelle! I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Ollie!” she said, all while attempt to break free of her bonds; her face flushing from the effort.“I think you should just wait here obediently for Javier to come rescue you. You both are husband and wife; surely he won’t forsake you if he cares about you, am I right?” Envy flashed across Chantelle’s eye
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 21 His Son
The rumors had spread almost overnight. Everyone was shocked to learn Javier had a son, especially since he was renowned for his abstinence and avoiding all forms of intimacy with women. Around the same time, Javier’s parents heard the news. However, they found it laughable. As much as they dreamed of having grandchildren, they knew their unapproachable son would never fulfill their wish. Little did they know their housekeeper would soon show them a secretly taken photo of Javier and a young boy with puppy dog eyes. What shocked them more was the resemblance between Javier and the boy. Right away, Javier’s parents shot to their feet, every muscle in their bodies tensing up as they found the situation odd. It was natural for Javier himself to catch wind of those rumors. The only difference was he was unperturbed by the news; after all, he had never cared for unimportant things like gossip and how others perceived his life. Despite that, Javier’s temples inevitably throbbed as he looke
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 22 Bring Her Back
Javier’s heart skipped a beat. He had never felt such growing nervousness, interest, and perhaps even a tinge of hopefulness before. Curiosity got the better of him as he stared at Oliver’s little face that reminded him very much of his own. “Ollie, tell me—how old are you again?” “I’m four, Dad,” Oliver answered truthfully. At once, Sofia and Pedro noticed Javier’s eyes lighting up in realization. The two shared a knowing look, feeling more confident that their son had been hiding something from them.“When were you born? Which year and which month?” Javier continued interrogating, his voice trembling so slightly that no one realized. At the same time, he wondered, “He’s four? Was he really conceived on that night five years ago?”Oliver had never seen his dad so anxious. Being an innocent child with a simple mind, he pouted and lowered his head innocently with concern for his dad. He briefly pondered before responding, “I was born on December 5th.”The glow in Javier’s eyes gradual
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 23 You have No Right
Upon hearing her thunderous cries, Liam stormed over with a deep frown. “You ungrateful bitch! After all my efforts in raising you, this is how you repay me? By embarrassing us and uttering such vile threats? You have two choices now—call Javier, or stay locked up here for the rest of your life! Don’t even think of trying to escape!”Darkness shrouded Claire’s face. At the same time, she felt goosebumps pebbling all over her skin upon hearing that threat from her father, who she once respected. Of course, part of her was also annoyed since she had obviously tried to escape; it was just that she had failed every time. Thoughts of her son suffering plagued her mind so much that she yelled, “Javier and I don’t even know each other! We share no relations, nor does he care about me! Locking me up for the rest of my life won’t do you any good. I suggest you set me free now.”“Seriously! How did someone like Mr. Marquez fall in love with you?” Scoffing, Chantelle scrunched her nose and raised
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 24 Why Did He Kiss Me?
Javier couldn’t help paying attention to Claire’s situation, which shocked him as he never thought he would care so much for her. However, he dismissed those thoughts and decided to have his subordinates bring her over after he finished his business discussion. With that, Javier retracted his gaze to continue chatting with his friends. A slight, unnoticeable chuckle came from his lips as he mused, “Damn. Since when have I ever cared about that woman?”…On the other hand, Claire didn’t know Javier was nearby. Although she sat beside Samuel, she focused more on forming an escape plan. A waiter conveniently approached their table with some food just then. Seizing that chance, Claire shot to her feet and flipped the table over.A loud clatter sounded, and the dishes on the table splattered all over the ground, making the scene appear extra chaotic. The two burly men were about to apprehend Claire, but she quickly grabbed the steaming pot of soup nearby and splashed it onto them. Seeing th
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 25 I Missed You!
“You haven’t left. Is there anything else you need?” Claire asked.Javier didn’t answer her question; he glanced at her bandaged wound and coldly said, “Get in.”Lips pursing, Claire recalled the kiss they had shared earlier and felt the need to put up her guard around him. She gave her response some thought before finally uttering, “I appreciate your kind offer to drive me, Mr. Marquez— but I have other things to do, so I’ll be on my way now.”As she spun to leave, Javier snarled through gritted teeth, “Did I say you could go, Claire?”That sparked a flame of annoyance in Claire, who whipped around to glare at Javier. She was already anxious enough to look for her son, so Javier’s constant stalling ticked her off. Eager to ditch him, she shoved a 100-dollar bill in his face. “Thank you for offering—truly, but I’m in a rush, so will this cover the cost of you driving me here?”Getting handed a mere 100-dollar bill made Javier narrow his eyes. He mentally thundered, “The nerve of her! H
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 26 Ruin
Claire had never heard Oliver call another man his dad before, so she snaked her arms around him tighter and worriedly examined every inch of his body. “Ollie, how have you been these days? Are you hurt?”“Nope!” Oliver shook his head. “I’m not hurt. Grandma looked after me while you were gone, so don’t worry!”Only after confirming there wasn’t a single scratch on Oliver did Claire relax—but that was also when she noticed something was wrong. “Grandma?” she asked. As she started getting confused, she noticed the elegantly dressed woman who sipped tea under the gazebo while watching her. The woman bore a slight resemblance to Javier, meaning she was likely Javier’s mother, much to Claire’s dismay. Shocked by the twist of events, Claire wondered, “What’s going on? Why has Oliver ended up in Mr. Marquez’s home? Oh, whatever. I can’t push aside my manners just because I’m confused by everything.”With that thought, she held Oliver’s hands and brought him to the woman. “You must be Mr. Ma
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 27 Shameless
There was a long pause. Perhaps Nadia was tired because she gradually stood at one point, her thin body appearing extra frail. As she turned to enter her room, she kept reminding Claire in a gentle tone, “Go. Go as far as you can and never return.”Claire hid her face as she had already wept up a storm earlier. She knew there was no changing some things, no matter how hard she tried; thus, Nadia’s decision to remain in the country instead of going to Ecraria with her meant this was their final farewell. Sitting next to Claire was a confused Oliver, who wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say. Back in Ecraria, he would often see his mother crying like this. At the time, he was still young, so he didn’t understand why she was constantly sad. However, Oliver swore back then that he would grow up quickly and protect his mom; he refused to let her shed any more tears.The next day, Claire arranged for Nadia’s transport back to the countryside before packing their luggage and head
