Chapter 350
Married at First Sight
Chapter 350 Jasmine said, âIâm only telling you all these because Iâm your cousin. Not to mention Serenity doesnât like you. And even if she does like you back, I donât approve of you two being together.â
âWhy not?â
âBecause of your family. I know my aunt very well. If she finds out that you like Serenity, do you think sheâll still smile at Serenity? She will only do everything possible to prevent you two from meeting each other. She may even do extreme things to Serenity.
âMy aunt has been in high society for more than 20 years, so she has very high standards. Youâre her only son and hope. Youâre also the default successor of Lowe Enterprise, so her expectations of you are very high. She wants you to marry someone from an affluent family.
âSerenityâs a great girl, and her only flaw is her family background. If youâre not involved, my aunt will happily treat Serenity as her niece for my sake. But when it comes to you, she will be ruthless. Serenity is definitely not a good daughterâinâlaw candidate in my auntâs eyes.â Jasmine got to the point and showed no mercy.
âShawn, your feelings for Serenity wonât benefit Serenity. It will only bring disaster to her. Iâm your cousin, and I donât want you to be hurt by love, but Iâm also Serenityâs best friend. I donât want Serenity to be hurt by my relatives.
âShawn, just let it go. Serenity is not the one for you, and she will never like you back. Think about it.
You two have known each other for more than ten years. We all grew up together, so if she liked you at all, isnât ten years more than enough time for her to develop feelings for you? âSerenity has treated you like a younger brother for more than ten years. An elder sister would never see her younger brother in a romantic light. If you donât give up and go on like this, youâre the one who will suffer.â
Shawnâs face turned even paler than before. Shawn only knew that he loved Serenity and saw that his mother liked Serenity very much. He did not think any further.
âSerenity got married to a stranger to move out of Libertyâs house because Liberty has always been worried about her. To reassure Liberty, Serenity married Mr. York at first sight and lied to Liberty about it. Liberty had always thought they got married for love.
âWhy would Serenity rather marry a stranger than ask us for help? Thatâs because she had never thought about you guys. Your aunt once thought about matchmaking Serenity with your eldest cousin.
In fact, as long as Serenity told me of her plans, she could have the liberty to choose any men from the family.
LTL âBut in the end, she married Mr. York without telling anyone.â
Shawn asked with a trembling voice, âJas, do I have no chance at all?â
âNone.â
Shawn was speechless.
Seeing her cousinâs despair, Jasmine could not bear it and sighed. âShawn, listen to my advice. Stop your crush on Serenity before she finds out. The sooner you let it go, the higher chances of you maintaining this friendship with her. Otherwise, you wonât be able to stay friends.â
âI think Serenity knows.
âSheâs very cold to me now...â
Shawn said bitterly, âSerenity and I will either become lovers, husband and wife, or strangers.â
Jasmine said viciously, âThen you should become strangers. Thatâs better for everyone.â
âJas!â
Shawnâs eyes turned red.
Serenity was the first girl he ever liked, and he had had a crush on her for many years. Shawn had thought about it. They had known each other for more than ten years. His cousin was also Serenityâs best friend, and even his mother was very fond of Serenity. Therefore, he would confess his love to Serenity when he was more mature.
They would get their happy ending. However, his cousin brutally burst his bubble. He was in so much pain like his heart was cut into a million pieces.
âShawn, if you really love Serenity, you should stay far away from her. Thatâs whatâs best for her. If you truly love someone, you donât necessarily have to be with her. As long as sheâs happy, youâll feel happy too.
âSeeing her well would be a relief for you.â
Shawnâs eyes were red, and he said bitterly, âJas, Iâm not that selfless.â
He loved Serenity and wanted to be her husband. He was not so selfless as to feel happy for her when she was with another man.
