Chapter 492

Shawn uttered in agony. “Seren, I know you‘re married, but it‘s just a marriage of convenience. You‘lldivorce. 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 canthink 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 yougive 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. Serenitymight 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 intothe bin at the door.

Turning her body around, she said to Shawn, “Shawn, are you going to leave, or do I need to chaseyou 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 sogood 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 formore 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 seenhim 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 hadI 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 alsotough on Serenity to be indifferent to Shawn now, but she had to!

Serenity was no longer alone with Zachary having her back now. Serenity could not do as she

pleased or be nice to just about anybody like before as she was now Zachary’s wife. She had to takeZachary’s feelings into consideration.

Besides, she did not like Shawn romantically. She saw Shawn as her younger brother.

How would there be romance between siblings?

She had to be distant so that Shawn could get over his feelings.

Discoloration washed over Shawn’s face.

“Serenity… H– How am I lesser than your husband? You don‘t know each other, but you could getmarried without feelings involved. Why can‘t you give me a chance when we’ve known each other formore than a decade? All I want is a chance to wait for you.”

Looking at him dead in the eye, Serenity ruthlessly uttered, “Shawn, since I rather marry a strangerthan choose you, it proves I have no romantic feelings for you. What we have is a sibling relationship.

“I wouldn‘t accept your feelings even if I was single, much less now that I‘m married. I don‘t want todate my family. Besides, how could I possibly fall for you when you‘re a brother to

me?

Shawn yelled, “We‘re not siblings! We‘re not related by blood!”

He went up and locked his bloodshot eyes with Serenity.

“Please, Serenity. Please give me a chance.”

He extended his arm to grab Serenity‘s hand, but Serenity slapped his hand away with the duster.

“Don‘t touch me, Shawn, or I won‘t hold back on you. You know I do kickboxing.”

Serenity did not want to get physical with Shawn, but she would show no mercy if he refused to openhis eyes and lay a finger on her instead!

“You haven‘t got a chance! Not in this lifetime, Shawn! You should leave before we become enemies.Don’t ever come back here.”

Pale in the face, Shawn could not stop his lips from shaking. “Enemies… Serenity, are you going totake me for an enemy?”

He was in love with her, but she saw him as the enemy. These words were heart-wrenching and eatinghim up inside.
