The Return of the Heir (Gleen Fernando)

Chapter 58

"Shhhhhh!" Gleen was trying to endure the pain she felt all over her body, let alone the injured part of her back was quite severe, but she had to look strong in front of everyone, even though her face looked so pale.

Gleen squirms before Arsen to reassure him, "Does what I did not prove enough that I really love your daughter, Mr Arsen?"

Arsen looked at Gleen for a long time, not a word had been said from her lips, probably because she thought Gleen would not come, apparently Gleen had really come, the young man is currently injured.

Robert doesn't want his plan to fail, he must convince Arsen to vote for Alvin. "Arsen, I hope you don't get me wrong, my son loved Felicia a lot. So..."

Felicia interrupted Robert's words, "I just want to get married to Gleen, Pa."

Robert's eyes glared at Felicia, even though Felicia lived a good life and the adequacy of her blessings, but the woman seemed to be ungrateful to him.

Arsen let out a heavy sigh, it felt like he was so heavy to give this decision, from the first he really wanted Alvin to be his daughter-in-law, but it turned out Felicia was pregnant by another man, instead, felicia loved that man.

"I'm sorry, Robert. I was forced to accept a proposal from Gleen, because she was the father of a baby conceived by Felicia."

Arsen's decision made Robert and Alvin very disappointed, they were really angry, all the plans that Robert neatly arranged had now become a mess.

Robert clenched his hands, he looked at Gleen with a gaze full of hatred and anger so great.

Gleen smirked at Robert who was staring at her, as if the young man was mocking her for finally Gleen's proposal received by Arsen.

Without further ado Robert and Alvin just leave, showing how disappointed they feel, making Arsen feel very guilty to them.

And now Arsen asked Gleen to talk to him in the study, making Felicia anxious and curious, whatever her father wanted to talk to Gleen about.

Then Gleen looked at Arsen who was looking at her with such a cold gaze, signifying dislike towards her. Had Arsen known, Gleen would have loved to hug the man and say that he was his son. But Gleen can't do, she should be able to get a sample of Arsen first, including a sample from Felicia.

"Don't be happy first, I was forced to accept your application for Felicia's sake. Which father would let his daughter marry a man like you." Arsen put a piece of paper on the table containing data about Gleen, apparently Arsen knew what Gleen's job was, therefore he thought Gleen was hurt because of her work.

There's no way Gleen said she was hurt by Robert's men, because she couldn't prove it.

"Marry Felicia until the baby is born, after which you leave my daughter. As a father, I just want to do what's best for his daughter."

For the first time, Gleen felt her heart ache when she heard someone's words, probably because she had been insulted by her own father, but she was trying to be tough, she said, because it was her and Felicia's wedding for a mission. Although she actually hoped there would be no marriage before getting the DNA test results, all she had to do was get a sample first.

But he understands the concerns that Arsen, the father willing to marry off his daughter to a man whose job is often life-threatening, does not know if he will return home safely, or just a name.

Gleen pretended to object to the terms put forward by Arsen, "But Sir..."

"I'll have your wedding tomorrow, a simple one."

Gleen was very surprised to hear that, even the results of the DNA test alone took a week at the earliest, because she hoped it would be better to know first the results of the DNA test, so that she could tell Arsen about the truth, and maybe there's not going to be a marriage between Gleen and Felicia, which shouldn't have happened, which is important that she's foiled Alvin and Felicia's wedding plans.

"Tomorrow? Isn't it too soon, sir?"

"Married my daughter tomorrow, or not at all? If you have any doubts, you can back off now, because there's Alvin who deserves more and more to be with my daughter."
