Chapter 137 When Serenity got back to her store, she saw Shawn there. She smiled at and greeted him. “Shawn, don‘t you have work today?”
Shawn looked at her with adoration hidden deep in his eyes and said, “I worked overtime last night, so I can go in a little later today. How come you‘re late today?”
He asked seemingly casually, but in fact, he wanted to inquire about Serenity‘s recent situation with her husband
Jasmine said that Serenity‘s husband had helped to suppress the trending search and even accompanied her back to her hometown to collect evidence for the counterattack, so Serenity was grateful to him.
Shawn thought, ‘I also want to help Serenity, but she didn‘t give me a chance to. I called her that day, but she didn‘t answer the phone.‘
She had only sent him a message saying that she was fine afterward
“There was a pretty lady asking for help on my way here. I was late because I lent her a hand. Oh, that smells good. What are you eating, Jasmine?”
Serenity was planning on going to the cashier to sit down
when she smelled the aroma. She spun on her heel and walked to the small kitchen.
Shawn followed her, wanting to catch up to her and hug her in his arms. However, he had no guts to do so. He was not brazen enough to so much as flirt with her because he perceived his accomplishments had yet to warrant such a bold act.
He loved her and therefore he had to respect her. Even if he wanted to be close to her, hug her, or even kiss her, he had to suppress it desperately because she was now married.
His heart clenched in pain at that thought. In Serenity‘s eyes, he was just a younger brother. Even if she needed a man for a flash marriage, she would never consider him.
