Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

It was Glenn.

Seeing Clara, Glenn smiled kindly, "Clara, you came!"

"What exactly are you doing here?" Clara said impatiently, "Who told you to come?"

"Hey, don't be upset. You are pregnant!" Glenn sat her down.

"You knew?" Clara said with an impassive expression as she had always hated to talk to someone like Glenn who was not important to her.

He was like a total stranger to her except for his relationship with her mother and the fact that they were related.

"Sure!" Glenn poured a cup of tea for Clara, "Of course, I knew! How could you not tell me this good news!"

"So what?" Clara didn't even bother to say anything more, "Are you done? Now get out."

"Clara, how could you say this to me? I'm your father," Glenn said with rage on his face.

And then he thought, he couldn't talk to her like this as he was afraid of her husband Horace, and said with a better attitude, "Sorry Clara, I was just too excited. I didn't mean to."

Clara just felt hurt seeing his change of attitude.

"Well."

Glenn cleared his throat and continued, "The thing is, Valerie is not around. I thought I could take your mom to my place and take care of her since she has been better. And Horace doesn't have to pay for a maid anymore. After all, we are family, I can take better care of your mother, don't you think?"

"No way!" Clara turned his "kindness" down without hesitation. Who knew what he was up to. "Mom is fine here, and she has nothing to do with you. You might as well think about how to take care of Ashlee. She was your baby daughter, after all, and I was nothing."

"Clara, how could you say that!" Glenn didn't expect she would turn him down so firmly, and the words he had prepared went nothing.

Clara asked him, "Now you mention it, you just let Valerie suffer in a foreign country and that's it?"

Glenn turned around and sniffed, "I never liked her. You knew I've always loved your mother. Being with Valerie at that time was just to take advantage of her family. And now they are broke, I don't have to count on them anymore. I want to be with your mother."
