Claire spent the next two days recuperating in the hospital. Patty was worried about Claire’s condition, so she wanted her to take a few more days off, but Claire simply couldn’t handle another night in the hospital after spending the past few days there. Besides, there were a bunch of tasks waiting for her to complete back in the company, so she wanted nothing more than to be discharged.Patty had been taking care of Claire in the hospital for the past few days. Javier, on the other hand, had been extremely busy during this period of time. On rare occasions, he would drop by the hospital to visit Claire after work. After that, he would leave hurriedly after answering a phone call.Both of them didn’t really speak to the other. Claire still felt a little embarrassed and awkward after what happened that night. Since Javier rarely visited her, she felt lighter and more relaxed.Javier specifically came to the hospital to pick Claire up on the day of her discharge. It was their first t

When Thomas heard Claire praising him, he squeezed out a forced smile. “It’s my duty, Claire. Also…thank you for what you did today, Claire. You saved my life.”Claire burst into laughter the moment she heard Thomas’ words. “You’re so funny! How did I save your life? There were so many people at the set back then. Even if I didn’t jump into the water, someone else would eventually do the same thing. Don’t think too much about it.”Thomas wanted to say something else, but he decided to shut up after noticing the uncomfortable expression on Claire’s face.A part of him started to ache for no reason at all. Thomas snuck a glance in Claire’s direction while having mixed feelings.Not only did Claire spend money to save his sister’s life, but she also saved him earlier. He vowed to repay her benevolence in the future even if he had to become her slave.Once Claire reached home, she retreated to her room early to rest for the night. Since Ollie loved spending time with his mommy, he had

After being left alone for a while, Shawn got bored and thought of something. He tentatively asked, “Javier, I heard that there’s a family gathering soon. Is that true?”This family gathering did not have much to do with Shawn, but the Marquez family’s annual gathering had always been used as an opportunity to force Javier into marriage. Thus, Shawn was curious to know if Javier would bring Claire to the gathering this year.Javier glanced at Shawn indifferently. It was obvious the latter was looking to gossip. He ignored him and continued to deal with the task at hand.Shawn did not feel awkward at all being ignored by Javier and added, “I believe that this year’s family gathering will be different from previous gatherings.”Knowing that he meant to say something else, Javier placed aside the task at hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Does Hattie have any grand ideas?”Shawn awkwardly chuckled as Javier looked right through him. He nodded and answered, “Yup, Hattie came to me

On the way back, Claire pondered long and hard on how to mention the matter to Javier. Given Javier’s personality, she was worried that he would not participate in the parent-child program.During dinner at the table, Claire hesitated to talk about the matter when her phone suddenly rang. It was a script for the play they had to perform. It was sent by Ollie’s teacher, Ms. Sarah.Claire took a quick glance at the script and placed her phone aside. She contemplated, “There’s no way Javier would be willing to take part in this play.”The script illustrated the interactions between Daddy Wolf, Mommy Wolf, and Little Wolf. It was ridiculous to even think that Javier would wear a wolf costume on stage. She would rather do it without Javier.Claire looked somewhat disheartened after she looked at her phone, so Patty asked in concern, “What’s wrong, Claire?”Claire decided that there was nothing to hide and told Patty about the play. She emphasized, “I can handle the performance alone. T

The prize Ollie won was a huge teddy bear, specifically prepared by Ms. Sarah. It was so big that he could barely carry it in his arms.Nonetheless, Ollie was ecstatic, and it was evident to Claire that he cherished the teddy bear. He held onto it tightly even after the program had ended. This was the first time that their family had participated in a performance together and won, so Ollie could not help but feel happy.As the event came to a close, Javier noticed that the teddy bear was too big for Ollie to carry and went to get the car. Meanwhile, Claire waited with Ollie at the kindergarten entrance.Suddenly, a child approached Ollie and without hesitation, tried to snatch the teddy bear from him. Ollie was very protective of his beloved teddy bear and refused to let go. The two children ended up in a tussle, and the other child aggressively pushed Ollie to the ground.Claire was shocked and did not expect such an incident to happen while she was distracted. She rushed to h
