Chapter 472

Who would've thought Regan would switch gears like that: "Nathan, since we're all together today, why not set a wedding date for you and Ashley? What do you say?" The moment those words were out, friends and family from both the Rowland and Stewart clans chimed in with their enthusiastic support.

"Oh, absolutely! Nathan and Ashley are just perfect for each other, like a match made in heaven," Andrew chimed in warmly.

"My daughter has been head over heels for Nathan since day one, just waiting for this moment," Dustin added, grinning from ear to ear.

Nathan, casually fiddling with his nails, shot back with a cool stare: "My wedding to Ashley? Who decided that? And why am I the last to know?"

The room fell into an awkward silence.

Everyone exchanged uneasy glances.

Mason jumped in to smooth things over: "Nathan, Regan and I arranged your marriage to Ashley. We even consulted an expert who said you two are a perfect match."

Ashley stood blushing nearby. "Nathan, I like you," she said shyly.

Nathan responded sharply, "I don't agree to this marriage."
