Javier had already prepared everything else they needed when Ollie came down with his bag. The beach that they were going was right behind Diroux Residences. The natural beach there was picturesque, framed by lush greenery.Even though they knew it was a nice place, Ollie and Claire were still stunned by the scenery.Ollie’s eyes went wide. “This is so pretty!”He let go of Claire’s hand and ran onto the beach. His childish liveliness was apparent.Patty followed behind, worried that he would hurt himself.Claire and Javier sat on the beach as the chefs prepared some barbeque for them.Claire couldn’t help but marvel at the lives of the rich. Even though the Weiss family was well off, their wealth was nothing compared to Javier’s.The weather was just right today, and the sun shone warmly without a bite. It was very comfortable, especially under the shade.Claire didn’t even need to move a finger to get food, as the chef served her right where she sat. She couldn’t really move around

“What do you mean the engagement has been postponed?” Over at the Weiss family, Zoey asked in disbelief. She was furious. “What is the Kendall family doing?”Chantelle sat before her on the sofa. Her eyes were red as if she’d just cried. “Armand’s parents are not happy about our company’s problems,” she said, glancing unhappily at her father.Chantelle knew the Kendall family would drop her like a hot potato if this continued. “Mom, Dad, you have to do something,” she sobbed. “I don’t want to call off the engagement. I can’t live without Armand!”Seeing how upset her daughter was, Zoey felt sorry for her. She hugged her. “Don’t cry, my daughter. It will be fine, I promise.” Then, she told Liam, who was standing at the side, “Can’t you see how upset your daughter is? Find a way to fix this!”Liam did not say anything. He was tired enough of all the troubles the Weiss family was going through.In order to escape his wife and daughter’s complaints, he went to the study for some peace and

That evening, Claire had dinner with Ollie and Patty.Javier was nowhere to be seen. Normally, by this time, he would have been home already. Claire figured Javier was probably caught up with work and had to work overtime.For some reason, she was already used to welcoming Javier home every night.Patty knew who she was looking for. “Mr. Marquez is having dinner with his parents tonight.”Claire nodded her understanding. It wasn’t like she cared all that much. She was just embarrassed that Patty had seen through her so easily. She continued eating.Ollie looked between them. He was also sad that his father was not having dinner with them tonight. He, too, lowered his head as he ate. He planned to tell Dad that Mommy was sad when he came home.At the same time, Javier was having dinner with his parents at Marquez Manor. Shawn and Hattie were there too.Sofia served them food happily. “Shawn, Hattie, it’s been so long since you visited. I missed you. Here, have more food. You like this,

Before she left, Sofia gave Claire a questioning look that she couldn’t understand. When she finally left, Claire let out a sigh of relief.However, she still felt worried. Her marriage with Javier was nothing but business. There was no relationship between them.Now that his mother knew about her, she wondered if she would interfere with this.If that happened, she needed to be prepared. After all, it was hard to say what the Weiss family would do to Ollie. She had to protect him at all costs.The more CLaire thought about this, the more anxious she was. In the end, she decided to go with the flow.At the very least, she ought to let Javier know about this.At the same time, Javier was dealing with work at the Marquez Group. His assistant, Henry, came in and said, “Sir, your mother’s here. She says she needs to talk to you.”Javier was surprised. He was pretty busy at the moment, so he had planned to let Henry entertain Sofia while he was busy, but before he could say anything, Sofia

Claire had already taken the day off from work, so she decided to treat herself to some well-deserved rest in the afternoon. Thomas had a full schedule for the next few days, which included several outdoor events, so he was also away from the office. Claire had delegated the minor tasks to Raina to free up her schedule.She could loaf on the job now, but this would be impossible once Thomas’ schedule got even more hectic. She probably wouldn’t even have time to eat.Claire’s afternoon was uneventful except for a bothersome phone call from Hattie, which irritated her.Claire was initially going to ignore the call because it came from an unidentified number. However, Hattie kept calling relentlessly, so she had no choice but to pick up.When she heard Hattie’s voice on the other end, she immediately regretted it. “Claire Weiss, where are you? I need to talk to you.”She sounded anxious. Claire frowned.She didn’t exactly despise this woman. She just didn’t want to have anything to do wi
