Chapter 280
Married at First Sight
Chapter 280 Josh was able to figure it was Shawn mainly because the latter attended the business event at the hotel tonight. Shawn might only hold a small position at Lowe Enterprise, but he was the predetermined successor of the company. His title as the heir of the Lowes would put him like a duck to water at the center of flattery and snow jobs at social events.
Zacharyâs silence was all the answer Josh needed.
âHow about I deliver the file to you now? Are you staying at Brynfield?â
Josh knew that his best friend kept the marriage under wraps and bought a furnished place at Brynfield to put Serenityâs character to the test.
âNo need for that. Just give it to me tomorrow. Itâs late. You should rest. Iâm going to wash up and head to bed.â
Although Josh had frontârow seat to the progress of Zachary and Serenityâs relationship, Zachary was not in the mood to go into detail with Josh about it. Zachary quickly hung up the phone. Josh murmured under his breath, âCan you sleep well tonight? Your love rival hogged the credit.â Only Zachary knew if he had a good nightâs sleep.
Serenity was not too surprised following Shawnâs disclosure. All she felt was rage.
âThank you for letting me know, Shawn.â
Instead of blowing up, Serenity thanked Shawn and asked, âDo you have pictures of them?â
She needed concrete proof that Shawn had indeed seen the cheating b*stard, Hank âI didnât take pictures with them. I thought his name was familiar but couldnât put my finger on it. It only dawned on me that it might be your brotherâinâlawâs name when I got home.
Thatâs why I called you. Serenity, tell your sister to quictly collect the evidence and be on the lookout in case he tries to shift the assets.â
âSure, I will. Thanks again.â
Shawn said with a smile, âNo need to thank me. Iâm only the messenger, Serenity.
âI shouldnât take you away from your rest. Goodnight, Serenity. Iâm going to drop by the shop to deliver Jasmineâs favorite breakfast tomorrow morning. Come and enjoy breakfast together.â Shawn often delivered food to his cousin, but he had other things in mind.
The truth was that he wanted to deliver food to Serenity. However, Shawn could not come clean about his true intentions. âItâs fine. Just bring breakfast for Jasmine. Iâm going to have breakfast with my husband before getting to work.â Zachary mentioned that Shawn liked her.
Serenity had no idea whether Zachary was right about that. Nevertheless, it was time she kept a distance from Shawn. He was a grown man, gone was the child who rolled on the floor crying whenever the girls left him out in games.
She specifically brought Zachary into the conversation. It was to remind Shawn that she was married.
The smile on Shawnâs face froze at the mention of her husband. It took a while before he found his voice. âGoodnight, Serenity.â
He ended the call.
After putting his phone on his bedside table, Shawn lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. The thought that Serenity, who he had a crush on since forever, married someone else made his heart sink to the pit of his stomach.
He knew that Serenity only got hitched in a haste to find a place to move in so that her sister could feel at ease. Shawn was also aware that Serenity never found him as husband material because he was younger than her by three years.
Serenity only saw him as a younger brother.
Why did he have to be three years younger than Serenity?
His mother should have given birth to him sooner. Serenity would not regard him as a younger brother if he was at least Serenityâs age.
Mrs. Lowe must wonder why it was her fault if she could read Shawnâs thoughts.
