Chapter 492
Shawn uttered in agony. “Seren, I know you‘re married, but it‘s just a marriage of convenience. You‘ll divorce. I like you, Serenity, and I‘ve fallen for you a long time ago.
“I know you can‘t accept me now. I tried to keep my distance from you, but I couldn‘t do it. All I can think about is you the first chance I get. Serenity, I want you to know that I love you.”
Presenting Serenity with the bouquet once more, he looked her straight in the eye. “Serenity, would you give me a chance to go after you?”
Jasmine had a talk with him and warned him against it.
However, Shawn could not simply drop his feelings and give up.
He really loved Serenity.
Shawn regretted not confessing his feelings to Serenity the moment he fell in love with her. Serenity might wait until he was older rather than marry a stranger if he had come clean about his feelings.
Serenity reached out and snatched the flowers before walking past Shawn to throw the bouquet into the bin at the door.
Turning her body around, she said to Shawn, “Shawn, are you going to leave, or do I need to chase you out with a broomstick?”
“Serenity!”
Shawn cried in pain, “Can you not be so cold to me? You weren‘t like this before. You used to be so good to me. Your cold–heartedness now is like a knife cutting through me again and again.
“How am I not better than the husband you married with no prior meeting? We‘ve known each other for more than a decade and shared everything together. Why didn‘t you pick me?”
Jasmine broke it down to him why Serenity did not pick him. It was because Serenity had always seen him as a younger brother.
Yet, Shawn would not listen.
He did not want to be Serenity‘s younger brother. He wanted to be her husband and man.
“I was only good to you because you were a younger brother to me. I would rather die than be nice had I known it would give you the wrong idea.”
After a decade of friendship, she could say that she had been there when Shawn grew up. It was also tough on Serenity to be indifferent to Shawn now, but she had to!
