Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1618
As with Joan and Nancy, they were both laughing heartily.
After chatting for a while, Nancy announced, “Larry, Joan, we have good news for you— Caspian and I are getting married!” With a contented smile on her face, Nancy shared her joy with the other two persons in the room.
Seeing as such, Joan laughed as well. “Silly girl, do you really think we don’t know when you’re getting married? Rest assured, Larry and I have already prepared the cash gift for you.”
“Really? How much are you preparing, Joan?” As soon as he heard the word ‘cash’, Caspian’s eyes lit up with anticipation as he turned to Joan, drooling.
Cash gift from Boss! That must be a formidable sum! Caspian was gleeful.
“Look at you!”
Nancy gave Caspian a forehead flick. “We should be glad that Joan and Larry can be there at our wedding. The cash gift isn’t as important.”
It was so painful that tears almost streamed down Caspian’s face. Seeing that, he quickly declared his true feelings, “That’s right. We don’t need any cash gifts, but if you insist on that, we can’t turn it down either.”
Ignoring Caspian who was obsessed with money, Nancy asked Joan, “Joan, I heard that both of you graduated from Bainewich College. Is that true?”
All of a sudden, Joan was startled. College years, that’s such a long time ago.
During her first days in college, she was full of anticipation for a wonderful student life. And just as she had wished, she met the love of her life in college.
However, regrettably, she dropped out of college during her second year when she fell sick. Not finishing college was Joan’s greatest regret in life.
Joan’s heart sank at the thought of that. Smiling wistfully, she replied, “Yes, we were in Bainewich College then, but sadly I dropped out due to some personal reasons during my second year over there, and I’ve never returned ever since.”
