Forced Marriage

Joan began to climb every step of the stairs to Ansel’s office. Joan’s sudden arrival made all the maids and bodyguards who were in the house greeted her with respect.

Joan’s disheveled appearance coupled with puffy eyes raised many questions from some of the people who worked at home.

” Mr. Joan why not , he does not usually come with such a random appearance . In fact , he usually always looks neat and his top is always beautifully styled like a prince in a kingdom ” whispered the maid named Tia to the other maids .

“Yes, his good looks today have decreased by 1 level” replied Ella, a waitress who was known as a huddler.

” It ‘s already you two , stop talking about young master ! ” snapped a middle – aged woman who was the butler , the woman named Rina had devoted herself to working with the Rivenno family for 30 years . Rina was a confidant of Joan ‘s late grandfather .

Joan looked cynically at Tia and Ella, a gossip that was said by the troublemakers’ maids made her mood worse. Too bad she didn’t have the strength to scold the two women.

Joan turned her gaze towards Rina. The woman was like a grandmother to Joan. Since childhood, Joan and Sarah were always abandoned by their parents who were busy working abroad, Rina was the one who took care of them until they were teenagers.

” Grandma , do you have a workspace ? ” Joan asked with a face without passion .

“Yes, Ar, papa and mama, you are in the work room,” Rina replied with a small nod. Rina always called Joan by the name Arkan because Joan’s nickname as a child was Arkan. It’s just that when Joan started working at the company her nickname was changed from Arkan to Joan.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, Joan, meet them first, Grandma,” said Joan with a faint smile that graced his handsome face.

Joan stepped back, leaving Rina and the other maids.

Joan’s body immediately shook very strongly when she was in the doorway of Ansel’s study. In the room, Ansel and Auris were already sitting, discussing something very seriously.

The middle-aged man and woman looked at Joan at the same time. Auris smiled happily as she hugged her son.

“Oh my gosh, honey, why didn’t you tell me that you wanted to come here. If only mom knew you would come here today, mommy would have cooked your favorite food,” said Auris while stroking Joan’s hair.

Joan just stood there with her blank stare.

” Mah , I ‘m sorry Joan ” said Joan quietly , the man started to sit down on the floor .

” What are you doing , stand up right now ! ” Ansel snapped when he saw his son who was sitting in front of him. Joan’s position was like someone who was prostrating in front of his parents.

“I’m sorry Joan pah, mah. Sob … sob … sob….” Joan said accompanied by sobs.

This is the first time Ansel has seen his son cry, he doesn’t know what has happened to his youngest child.

Ansel started to wake Joan’s body so that it was parallel to hers.

“What wrong have you done?” Ansel asked with a calm expression.

” Yes dear , what is going on with you ? You are not usually like this ? ” added Auris who was as curious as Ansel .

Joan was silent, she kept her head down, not daring to look at the faces of her parents.

” Joan tell me quickly what is going on ! ” Ansel snapped .

Joan began to lift her face slowly , however she had to take responsibility for her actions even though she had to get angry from her parents .

“I’m pregnant with a woman, sir.” Joan stammered. Ansel immediately gripped Joan’s jaw firmly.

” WHICH WOMAN ARE YOU PREGNANT ? Ansel asked emphasizing every word he said .

” Liza pah mah , the woman who previously refused to marry me ” replied Joan .

Prak….

A glass flower vase fell to the floor after being thrown by Ansel at Joan’s head.

Joan grimaced in pain , her hands groped to every corner of her face that was sore from the scratched glass .

” How can you do something lowly like that , moreover the person you are pregnant with is the daughter of a famous family . Where do you want to keep papah ‘s face , HAH ? ” Ansel said while raising his voice at the last word .

“Come on, don’t worry about it anymore, after all, Liza is also the daughter of a good family. We already know the weight of the seeds, right, sir, anyways, let it happen, the rice has turned into porridge. After all, Liza is also pregnant with the grandson of this family, bro. , what we have to do now is to marry Joan to Liza ” said Auris calming her husband .

Ansel looked thoughtful for a moment , what his wife said really made sense . The company’s stock will definitely explode if it’s combined with the Hope family’s stock.

“Okay papa agrees with your mama, just do your wedding this Sunday. Plan this wedding very carefully, papa doesn’t want anything to go wrong” said Ansel which made Joan smile. his struggle to admit this turned out to be fruitful which made him very satisfied .

” Thank you very much , Joan promises to do the best . ” Joan said quietly , she quickly hugged Ansel with joy .

Auris also laughed happily seeing Joan’s expression, which previously looked very gloomy, turned 90 degrees into a very cheerful one.

” Also do your responsibilities as a husband as well as a father for your future baby ” said Ansel as he let go of Joan ‘s arms .

Joan could only nod her head slowly , she was really embarrassed at this moment . Her tears fell without her realizing it because of the unstoppable joy .

” But papa has one condition ” Ansel pointed his index finger at Joan .

Joan wrinkled her forehead with a very tense expression “What conditions pah?”

” Your 50 percent share will be poor for two with the prospective grandson ” said Ansel which did not surprise or refuse Joan at all .

Joan just smiled ” Without father giving conditions too , Joan will definitely do that.

Joan said very confidently in front of her papa and mama, Ansel and Auris could only shake their heads at their son’s behavior. Both of them realized that Joan had always wanted a child.
