Chapter 289

In the early hours of the evening, Nana finally finished her duties after a long day of hard work. She

hummed her favorite tune and promptly left for home.

At the end of the street, she saw a large crowd of people gathering and talking animatedly to one

another as if something exciting was about to happen.

Nana immediately became curious.

She soon decided to walk over and have a look.

Surely it wouldn’t hurt to take a quick peek to learn what was going on.

As Nana drew closer, she saw many candles on the sidewalk forming a big heart shape, and red rose

petals were scattered around. It was very romantic.

Nana quickly made a guess. It seemed someone was going to propose to his sweetheart.

Touched by the grand gesture, Nana found herself smiling and eagerly waiting for the couple to show

up.

At this moment, Mariage d’Amour suddenly played on the scene. Accompanied by the French piano

music, a young man in an elegant white suit slowly walked toward Nana.

The thin man with a handsome face and an aggressive, cynic aura beamed confidently at Nana. It was

clear that everything in his life was going smoothly.

He walked up to her with a large bouquet of roses in his hands, got down on one knee, and stared at

her affectionately. His twinkling eyes were filled with love and joy.

“Nana, it would be my greatest honor if you were to be my wife. Will you marry me?”

The crowd around them suddenly burst into cheers.

“Marry him, marry him!”

Nana was the only person in a bad mood.

She pursed her lips and gulped anxiously. “Huey, I don’t know what to say.”

Nana’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her ex-fiance kneeling on the ground. The pressure

was too much that she couldn’t breathe.

“Nana, I…”

Huey cleared his throat and was about to declare his love for her.

But at this point, Nana was livid with rage. She snorted in disgust and stormed away.

However, Huey wasn’t one to give up so easily. He immediately stood up and chased after her.

“Nana, please come back. Give me a chance to explain!” Huey grabbed Nana’s hand and pulled her

back. He looked her in the eye and said, “Nana, I admit my past mistakes. Trust me. I’ve changed for

the better now. Can you give me one more chance?”

Nana didn’t buy his elaborate act at all.

She pushed Huey away with all her strength and said coldly, “Now you want to make up with me? I

don’t see a future for us anymore. It’s too late. Good riddance!”

“No, don’t say that. I really want to marry you. Please forgive me!”

Huey tried desperately to keep Nana from leaving.

Nana was repulsed by his persistent shower of affection and moved away.

It was clear that Huey would stop at nothing until he finally got her back.

Gritting her teeth in frustration, she said bluntly, “It’s too late, Huey. I already have a new fiance, and

we’re madly in love with each other. So please, leave me alone!”

“New fiance? But that’s impossible! You are lying to me, aren’t you?”

Huey was overly confident of his own charm. He knew that Nana was head over heels for him before.

Even if he broke her heart, she wouldn’t fall in love with another man so soon.

“Who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think you’re such a big shot? I’m actually glad to be

rid of you!” Nana exclaimed in disdain.

“You know what? I’ll only believe your claim once you bring that so-called fiance of yours to me.”

Huey smirked arrogantly. He was sure that Nana was lying and wanted to prove her wrong.

“Fine, I’ll call him right now.”

Nana rolled her eyes and quickly took out her phone, seemingly eager to settle the matter in her favor.

But deep inside, she was anxious.

As she aimlessly scrolled through her contacts, Corbin’s name caught her attention. An idea suddenly

entered her mind, and she immediately dialed his number.

“Hello, honey. How are things going at work? I miss you so much,” Nana said in a sultry voice.

On the other end of the line, Corbin felt goosebumps all over his body.

He quickly double-checked the caller ID to see if it was a stranger calling him by mistake.

It was Nana’s number. Corbin gulped nervously and scratched his head.

What was wrong with her? It didn’t make sense.

Corbin couldn’t figure out what was going on. He remained silent and decided to listen for possible

clues.

Nana continued in the same tone, “I know, honey. Sorry for disturbing you. Go ahead with your work. I’ll

cook your favorite dish when I get home. Not too late, okay? You better save some energy for me

tonight. I love you. See you later!”

With a sweet smile on her face, she hung up the phone.

The strange phone call deeply unsettled Corbin. He took a deep breath and organized his thoughts.

‘Nana is acting weirdly! Is she in some kind of trouble? Maybe she has been kidnapped!’

He jumped up from the chair and covered his mouth in horror.

‘Was Nana speaking to me that way as a subtle cry for help? The kidnapper must’ve been listening in

on the call.’

Corbin immediately called the police and informed the company’s Security Department to trace Nana’s

location using her mobile phone.

‘Nana, just hang tight wherever you are. Help is on the way!’

Pocketing her phone with a smug look on her face, Nana raised her eyebrows at Huey. “You heard that.

The man I have just spoken to is my new fiance.”

“You expect me to believe that? There’s no way he’s your fiance.”

No matter how hard Nana tried to get away, Huey kept pestering her. With both sides unwilling to yield,

the two loudly argued on the street.

To their surprise, a police car suddenly pulled up in front of them. The police officer quickly stepped out

of his vehicle and shouted, “Police! Don’t move!”

Nana and Huey stopped dead in their tracks, utterly speechless.

What the heck was going on this time?
