Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 193 Fake Pregnancy

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."

Helena was in complete disappointment hearing this, staring at him in disbelief.

Clara always knew her father was heartless, but not like this.

Clara wished she could get rid of her blood and be done with this scumbag.

"You have no heart," she jeered.

Glenn begged to differ, "What's wrong? You don't appreciate me doing that? How dare you say this to

me?"

"Get out of here!" Clara pointed at the door and didn't want to say anything more.

Glenn was also furious, "Clara, no matter how much you hate me, I'm still your father!"

"I don't care if you are my father. Mom and I don't want to see you. Get out!" Clara got a little emotional.

Glenn was afraid of Horace and didn't want to argue with Clara, so he left sullenly.

Seeing he left, Clara thought of her childhood with sadness and hated her father's cowardice and

villainy.

Glenn didn't dare to stand up for her when he knew Valerie was giving Clara a hard time when she was

a kid.

He just stood by, did nothing indiscriminately, and sometimes he even abused her together with Valerie.

Clara might still have been abused by them today and lived a dreadful life if it weren't for Horace.

Helena standing nearby shed tears at this.

Clara comforted her mother for a long time and went back home when she was asleep.

Horace was still at work when Clara came home.

Seeing the text from Horace that he was going to work late, Clara ate something and chatted with her

bestie Sammy while lying on the bed.

Sammy and Clara went to college together and she also worked at Stratmont.

Sammy was the only one who trusted Clara when she got set up and was isolated by everyone at

college.

Sammy sent a text to check Clara's schedule tomorrow.

Clara thought for a moment and replied "nothing yet". Then Sammy asked her to hang out at her place.

Clara thought it was a long time since the last time they met and she did need to get away, so she

agreed.

Clara arrived when Sammy was playing with her daughter.

The kid was just one year old. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sammy's daughter said to Clara when she walked in with a delightful voice, "Hello."

"Oh, hi!" Clara was elated by this "hello", and the grief from yesterday just disappeared.

She patted this little kid on the head and gave her candy from the bag.

"Thank you."

The kid went over and continued to play as she said it.

"Clara, it's been a long time." Sammy gained some weight after getting married and having a daughter,

but she looked happy.

Clara looked at Sammy with emotions, "It's been years, I didn't expect it to be that quick. Look at your

daughter!"

"So do you!" Sammy said with a laugh, "You married Horace! Why didn't you tell me?!"

They chatted for a while. Sammy really cared about Clara and she couldn't help asking after a

moment's hesitation, "By the way, did he know about you..."

Clara smiled a little, "Yes."

"He is forgiving," Sammy was genuinely happy for Clara, "Of course, a good man won't mind about

that."

Clara laughed, "It's not that he doesn't mind. But, um, he was that exact man!"

Clara told every detail about that thing.

"Oh my god!" Sammy was astonished, "You are so meant to be!"

"I never saw that coming. And we've been through a lot this year. Sometimes it just happens, quite

amazing." Clara gently touched her belly, "And now we are going to have a baby."

"You are pregnant?" Sammy looked at her surprisingly.

Indeed, what happened to Clara was too much, too complicated, too strange, and it was hard for

anyone to handle it.

"Yeah, for over a month."

"Hey!" Sammy said, "My husband is a gynecologist, I'll have him check it out for you."

"That'd be great!" Clara said with joy.

Sammy's husband, a good guy in normal clothes and wearing glasses, came home after a long

moment. It looked like he loved Sammy very much, which was comforting for Clara.

Sammy told her husband about Clara and he said "OK" without even thinking.

"How do you feel lately?" Sammy's husband asked Clara before checking.

"I feel well," Clara thought for a while, "but I get nauseous pretty bad."

"Nauseous?" Sammy's husband looked at Clara surprisingly, "It couldn't be! You've been pregnant for

only one month. Let me see if you have problems with your stomach. That would be bad."

Sammy's husband checked as he said it, and soon his face changed.
