Chapter 60 Zachary had his doubts about Serenity‘s aesthetics. Sure, Shawn was good–looking, but Shawn had nothing on him; he was way more attractive than Shawn.
Zachary wondered what name he was saved as in Serenity‘s list of contacts. The curiosity was eating Zachary up inside. Serenity took Shawn‘s call. “Morning, Serenity.” “That‘s early. What‘s up?”
“Have you had breakfast , Serenity ? I‘ll pick you up for work, and we can have breakfast together. My treat or you can buy me breakfast if you want to.” Shawn‘s voice reflected hopeful anticipation.
Since he was a huge help to Serenity last night, Shawn now had an excuse to drive Serenity around and buy her breakfast.
“That‘s okay. I‘m nearly finished with my breakfast. My husband will be taking me to work later, so you don‘t have to make the long trip.”
Oblivious to Shawn‘s feelings for her, Serenity simply did not want Shawn to brace the long distance from his home
to Brynfield while getting stuck in the morning rush traffic.
Shawn‘s wishful thinking was crushed by the mention of Serenity‘s husband.
That poured cold water on Shawn‘s enthusiasm for sure.
It slipped Shawn‘s mind that Serenity was taken!
Serenity had always been single, but she suddenly changed her marital status for a stranger. Why could she not wait for him? Although Shawn was young, he was happy to be her husband. It was a pity that Serenity never saw Shawn as a man.
Shawn was only a younger brother to Serenity.
They had known each other for a long time. From the moment he understood what love was, Serenity became his crush.
It was a shame... Nothing came of it.
“Okay then. I‘ll have your bike delivered to the shop once it‘s repaired.”
Despite his heartbreak, Shawn kept it cool in case, Serenity picked up on weird vibes.
“Thank you.”
