Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1691

Since young, everyone had treated him like a royalty. He was always well-protected and taken care of. No one had dared to comment on his behavior until then. He could hardly believe that such an eligible bachelor like him would be rejected! Besides, the other party was even willing to suffer a loss in reputation as well as huge financial losses just to escape from the marriage, causing Jory to feel utterly humiliated.

Even though everyone had accepted the fact that the marriage proposal failed, Jory refused to go along with it. In his opinion, it was impossible for any woman to refuse him. Very quickly, he guessed that there was probably someone else that the lady was interested in, otherwise, it didn’t make sense for her to reject him so resolutely.

Just like what he thought, after Jory insisted that he wouldn’t take no for an answer, the other party had no choice but to tell him that the lady had already fallen for another man.

After his suspicions were confirmed, Jory felt victorious and behaved smugly in front of his dad. Even though he felt appeased after knowing the real reason, his dad was obviously unhappy. Jabbing a finger at Jory’s face, his dad scolded, “Are you feeling very proud of yourself now? If you continue being a good-for-nothing who bums around, even if she didn’t have someone else in mind, there was still no way she would settle for you!”

Jory was rendered speechless and could not find any words to defend himself. However, his dad was unstoppable as fury overcame him. “You’re nothing without me! All you know is how to fool around. I just don’t understand how you can even be so full of yourself!”

Back then when he was eighteen, Jory never took responsibility for any of his poor behavior. After much thought, he still attributed the failure of his marriage proposal entirely to the lady.
