Chapter 622

Jasmine had always had Shawn’s back through thick and thin. His cousin was in the position to give him the upper hand at getting the woman of his dreams. However, not only was Jasmine not supportive, but she was against it for the first time ever. She stopped him. and even yelled at him.

Shawn was in agony, unable to obtain the woman he loved.

The fact that his closest cousin did not support him only added to the pain.

“I’m all ears if you want to talk to me about your work. You can call me or go to my place. I’m not working tomorrow since it’s the weekend. What do you want to talk about? I can give you the whole day to pour out your feelings.

“I mean, of course, things aren’t going well for you at work. Is your focus on your work? All you think about is pestering Serenity. I told you a million times. Serenity’s married and doesn’t have that kind of feelings for you. What’s the point of getting all over her face?

“You’re only chipping away what’s left of your friendship with her. She and her husband have gotten into two arguments because of you. You won’t feel bad about it, but I do.”

Tilting his head, Shawn looked at the fleeting scenery of the bustling cityscape outside the window.

Although many traveled home to be with their families as the new year closed in, a lot stayed to party in the city.

“I can’t help myself, Jas. I know it’s wrong, and people will call me a homewrecker to come. in between Serenity and her husband, but I simply can’t help myself. I just want to see her. I’m happy to look at her without talking.

“I’ve known her for over a decade, yet I become a homewrecker… Zachary should be the homewrecker. It had only been a few months since he knew Serenity. Why did he get to overtake me?”

Jasmine would pull Shawn under a running faucet and pin his head under for a drench to wake him up if she was not driving right now.

“Love is not about long you know the girl, but about connections. You and Serenity are not meant to be.

So what if you guys know each other your whole life? You and Serenity wouldn’t work out even if Zachary wasn’t in the picture. Why can’t you get it in your head? Why are you so hung up about the duration?

“Serenity doesn’t love you, and that’s the most crucial point. Zachary has nothing on you if she loves you. She only sees you as a brother.”

Shawn tugged on his hair with anguish. “Jas, I don’t want to be her brother. I’m not related to her by blood at all. I just want to give it a go, Jas. I won’t be able to get over it without. going for it.”

“How do you intend to give it a go? Hasn’t Serenity made it clear to you?

“What? Do you plan to broadcast to the world that you’re wooing her?”

Shawn was speechless.

That had crossed his mind.

“You hadn’t listened to a word I said to you, Shawn. Your love for Serenity is hurting her. Not only are you causing arguments for the couple, but your parents, too, will never agree. to let you go after Serenity.

“Your family can’t accept the relationship, and you don’t have the means to make it out there on your own. Your constant pestering will only bring harm to Serenity. Are you calling this love?

“Shawn, love is not possessive. It’s letting go. You should wish her the best if you truly love. her. You’ll be happy when she’s happy, even if she’s not with you.”

Shawn was without a word.

Realizing that Jasmine was driving to his house, Shawn asked, “Are you taking me home, Jas?”

“I’m taking you home. My aunt must still be at home at this time. I want to show you your mom’s reaction when she finds out that you like Serenity. You’ll understand what your love for Serenity would bring.”

At first, Jasmine had no intention of letting her aunt know about Shawn’s feelings for Serenity.

Jasmine knew her aunt well enough to expect a backlash after her aunt learned the whole thing.

However, due to Shawn’s constant harassment of Serenity, Jasmine had to tell her aunt. and break Shawn’s heart in the cruelest way.

With his mother’s good opinion of Serenity in mind, Shawn responded, “My mom will be happy. She loves Serenity.”

Jasmine smirked.

All she could say was that Shawn was green and had a lot to learn about his mother.
