NovelOnlineChapter 428
On the way to Westyard Resort, Serenity called Jasmine. “Jas, I’m going out with Nana for a walk
today and can’t go back to the store. I’ll leave the store to you.”
Jasmine laughed. “No problem. You can stay with Grandma May and take a break. I’ll take care of the s
tore. Everything will be fine.”
It was the weekend tomorrow anyway.
The store was usually closed during weekends. If they did open, it would only be Serenity inside,
rushing her orders.
After ending the call, Jasmine muttered to herself, “Seren’s life after marriage is getting more and more
exciting.”
“Jas.”
The familiar voice made Jasmine’s pretty face turn cloudy.

unpleasantly, “Shawn, are you ignoring what I said to you last time? Don’t come here again. There’s no
chance between Seren and you!”
It had just been a few days, but Shawn looked haggard. There were
dark circles under his eyes, and his stubble grew out. At that moment, he did not look like a young man
of twenty–two years old.
Jasmine’s heart ached when she saw her cousin in this state.
The hurt love inflicted on someone was invisible.
Shawn had a crush on Serenity for many years, so it was hard to get him to let go right away.
“Jas.”
Shawn added painfully, “I forced myself to endure it for the past few days, but I can’t take it anymore. E
very time I calm down, I’ll think of Serenity again. I really, really like her. I love her. I can’t give up on her
. What am I supposed to do, Jas? Can you help me? Please?”
He grabbed Jasmine’s shoulders and begged, “Jas, I’m your cousin. No one can help me except you.”
Jasmine slapped his hands away from her shoulders and said seriously, “Shawn, how many times do y
ou want me to say this? Serenity is married. She has a husband. That fact won’t change no matter how
much you love her. Just give up. She’s not suitable for you, and there’s no way she’ll love you.”
She then ruthlessly warned him, “If you dare shamelessly pester her, don’t blame me for being
heartless. If you do that, it’ll only make Serenity avoid you. You won’t even be able to maintain your
relationship as normal friends.”
Shawn was in pain.
He harbored feelings for her in secret for many years and was just about to confess, but his beloved wo
man had become someone else’s wife.
He could not even tell her about his deep love.
He was sorrowful, but also remorseful.
He regretted that he did not confess his love for her when he first realized his feelings. Even if he was u
nderage at that time, he could have let Serenity wait for him to grow up.

“No!”
Jasmine slapped his arm in disappointment. “Are you even listening to a word I’m saying? Are you tryin
g to harm Serenity?”
“Jas, can’t you see how much pain I’m in? Don’t you feel sorry for me at all?”
“The pain will pass. It’ll be better if you get over this. Shawn, you’re still young. You’re only twenty–
two. You still have your whole life ahead of you. With your status, there are many ladies who will notice
you. You should find a girl who can
satisfy your mother and is a good match for your family, not Serenity.
“No matter how good Serenity is, she doesn’t belong to you. I’m not belittling
my best friend, but the realities you two live in are too much of a difference. The Lowe family will never
allow you, their heir, to marry a woman who’s useless to you and your family.
“Serenity has no one backing her, and she has no power or authority. She just runs a small business w
hich is of no use to a large company like yours. Do you think you can marry her just because you like h
er? Have you considered the realistic factors?
“Shawn, you’re still too young to see things thoroughly enough. It’s too naive to think that you can marr
y someone just because you like them. Listen to me and stop thinking about Serenity. She’s already a
married woman!”
