Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 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 store. 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.

She looked at Shawn as he walked in, and said to him 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. Every 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?”

“No!”

Jasmine slapped his arm in disappointment. “Are you even listening to a word I’m saying? Are you trying 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 which is of no use to a large company like yours. Do you think you can marry her just because you like her? 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 marry someone just because you like them. Listen to me and stop thinking about Serenity. She’s already a married woman!”
