With that thought in mind, Claire took a deep breath. She pretended nothing had happened and slowly walked back to her office.As expected, her hunch was right. After all, Javier had a unique identity. No one dared to approach her to gossip about her relationship because Stardust Entertainment completely relied on the Marquez Group to thrive.Claire couldn’t help but sigh as she looked around the office, which gradually fell silent around her. Then, she started recalling the words Javier had said to her before she left the Marquez Group earlier.“Claire, our wedding date is almost here, so I might not be able to protect you for now. Think of this as me doing everything for the sake of our future. Don’t go to work for the time being. Just wait for me at home so that I can finally return and marry you, alright?”Upon hearing the request, Claire immediately understood why Javier had been experiencing such overwhelming exhaustion as of late.She was very moved by his words, so she did

When the wedding dress was delivered to Diroux Residences, Javier ordered the deliveryman to put it in a room. He even forbade all housekeepers to enter that room.It was clear that Javier treasured his wedding with Claire as much as he treasured her wedding dress.Whenever Claire was bored, she would pop into the room to look at the wedding dress. She found it exquisitely beautiful no matter how long she stared at it.Afterward, time crept by as Claire’s initial nervousness and anxiety slowly dissipated thanks to a patient Javier keeping her company.His compassion and concern for her allowed her to immerse herself in the upcoming wedding. Soon, Claire found herself looking forward to the day she became his bride.She looked forward to the day she would marry Javier Marquez, the man most women desired to be with. On their wedding day, she would become the center of attention in the entire city. Even though that wasn’t what Claire wanted, she was still willing to endure everything

Claire continued, “A few years later, the designer had already designed countless sets of high-quality jewelry thanks to the hatred he harbored for the woman. At the same time, he won various awards and earned a lot of money, which resulted in him becoming a prominent designer.“However, he still missed that woman dearly. Finally, he decided to return to the city in search of her, only to realize that everything had already changed. Not only was the woman already married, but she also had given birth to two children.“The designer was heartbroken, to say the least. He had no idea what to do in order to give the woman the best outcome she deserved. Then again, the woman was no longer the same person he knew from long ago. Even so, the designer couldn’t help but ask her if she still loved her current husband.“After hearing the question, the woman seemed stunned for a moment. She was unable to answer the designer at that time. She hugged her sleeping child tightly before telling him i

When Javier and Claire returned home, the latter was already in a deep sleep.Surprisingly enough, Javier didn’t have the heart to wake her up after noticing her situation.Instead, he scooped her out of the car and into his arms before walking up the stairs slowly.It was already very late at night.As Javier watched Claire sleeping on the bed that night, he started looking forward to certain things for the first time.For example, he couldn’t wait for the wedding to begin.After removing Claire’s clothes carefully and putting on a set of comfortable pajamas for her, Javier couldn’t help but marvel at her ability to continue sleeping soundly.Claire woke up early in the morning the next day.Javier seemed to have woken up before her, seeing as he was nowhere to be found.After freshening herself up in the bathroom, Claire took Ollie out on a shopping trip since it was a weekend.She had been very busy lately, so she didn’t get to spend much time with Ollie. Now, she finally

Claire had no idea how to explain everything. If she were to tell Sofia that Javier was the one who took the initiative to buy the jewelry for her, it would still be a futile effort.Also, that would seem like a flimsy excuse that reeked of lies.Claire couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed, so she nodded in response. “Sofia, Javier did buy me the jewelry, but it’s a gift for our wedding. I hope you can understand that I’m not wasting his money.”She knew that Sofia didn’t like her, so she could only make herself seem nicer.After all, Claire had already received the jewelry as a gift, so she couldn’t explain her way out of this incident.Sofia refused to listen to Claire’s explanation. Instead, she gazed at the latter coldly.“Wedding gift? Miss Weiss, I think you should know what your situation is. You’re indeed pregnant with Javier’s baby, but marriage is no child’s play. The Marquez family has yet to properly acknowledge you as a daughter-in-law.”Claire’s heart throb
