âThank you so much, Debra, Caleb.
â Riley spoke into the microphone and addressed us sincerely.
âEver since you came to Roz Town, the town has regained its vitality.
This must be Godâs blessingââ
Before she could finish, Riley was interrupted by a familiar voice
âDoesnât the bride need a fatherâs blessing at her engagement ceremony?â @®
Debraâs POV:
The familiar voice seemed to prick my heart like a sharp needle.
I immediately felt uneasy.
He was finally here.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw my father standing at the entryway.
He started walking to us with a sneer.
Obviously, he wasnât here to give us his blessing.
My heart sank to the pit of my stomach.
Ever since Tom failed to break Marley and Colin out of prison, I had suspected my father would come.
But he hadnât shown up until now.
I actually began to think that he might respect my wishes.
I didnât think heâd show up at this critical moment and ruin what couldâve been the happiest moment of my life.

ALL the guests fell silent, and a hush immediately fell over the hall.
My mind was a complete mess.
What was my father up to now?
Was he going to ruin my engagement ceremony and seize the opportunity to take the town?
Sensing my unease, Caleb held my hand tightly and comforted me gently.
âDonât worry, Debra.
Iâm right here.
â
At that moment, my father stopped right in front of us.
Looking down at me, he said with a smile, âLong time no see, Debra.
â
I stared back at him vigilantly and didnât say anything.
Although I didnât know why he was here, I was keenly aware that he didnât come to bless me and Caleb.
Sure enough, the next second, my fatherâs angry voice boomed across the halt.
