“Yes, Nina is my fiancee now," Percy admitted. As Nina's best friend, Luca wanted Nina to be happy.

Although the Mallory family was still against it, Percy insisted on holding an engagement ceremony. It was a simple ceremony, but he did it with all his sincerity and wholeheartedly.

Percy believed that he could give Nina a happy and blissful life.

Luca turned to look at Luke. Was this true? How did that happen out of the blue?

"He went to look for the priest on the second day we went to Russia. He grabbed Nina with him and got the engagement ceremony done," Luke told her.

"Yes. We were low-profile. I only informed my family and a few close friends about this. But we didn't invite anyone to our engagement ceremony. That's why Nina didn't tell anyone either," said Percy.

Percy was worried that someone would mess up the engagement ceremony. He kept a low profile before the engagement ceremony. Only after the ceremony was over did he inform his family and Luke.

Nina was worried that her greedy mother would mess things up if she told anyone about this. That was why she decided not to tell anyone about the engagement to prevent the news from getting into Anna's ears.

Percy only admitted it in front of Luca because he knew Luca was not the kind of person who would spill the beans. She would always side with Nina at all times.

"I see." Luca understood why Nina would conceal it. It was because she had a greedy mother and brother.

Anna and Jean would do unscrupulous things to gain benefits from Percy as long as Nina told them that she and Percy were engaged.

Even if they did not benefit from it, it was inevitable that they would use Percy's name to make things easier for them.

The best way was to not let them find out that the two of them were engaged.

After all, no matter how avaricious Anna and Jean were, they were concerned about their future too. That was why they dared not use Percy's name to do whatever they wanted out there to avoid getting into trouble and Percy blaming Nina for it. If the two of them broke up, Anna and Jean would not be able to take advantage of him anymore.

"Mr. Mallory, there's something I'd like to know." Luca's expression became serious as she gazed at him.

Percy's face faded. Luca was Nina's best friend, and Percy knew what Luca was going to say after knowing that they
