Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1687

“Your ex-fiancé?” Joan shouted in surprise.

Nancy immediately covered her mouth. “Hush! Caspian’s right inside!”

Joan moved her hand away and continued, “Are you kidding me? Weren’t you and Caspian always together? Why is there suddenly a fiancé?”

“I swear I have nothing to do with that person! I don’t even know his name!” Nancy denied, then anxiously explained, “Look… He’s my fiancé in name, but I don’t know him at all and haven’t even met him once. This marriage proposal was clearly arranged by my parents and born out of some business deals!”

“Wait, wait, wait… I’m kind of confused…” Joan’s mind was in a mess.

Nancy then became even more patient and said, “Let me simplify it. Before I met Caspian, my family had arranged this marriage proposal for me. The man is the son of Alpire Group’s president.”

She paused, then continued, “You can understand it as an arranged marriage too. It’s just that before both of us even met, our parents had already agreed to the marriage. They wanted to sacrifice our marriage and love for the sake of benefits to both families and businesses. In short, we have to marry someone we don’t know at all.”

“I’d always thought I was fortunate because I met Caspian before I met him. So just like that, my family broke off the marriage proposal… Ever since then, my family has never cooperated with Alpire Group again.”

Joan asked, “If that’s the case, isn’t it very clear? You had someone else in your heart, so you rejected the marriage proposal.”
