Chapter 137<\/div>\n
When Serenity returned to her store, she spotted Shawn there. She smiled and greeted him, saying, \u201cShawn, don\u2019t you have work today?\u201d<\/div>\n
Shawn looked at her, his admiration concealed deep within his eyes, and replied, \u201cI worked overtime last night, so I can go in a little later today. Why are you late?\u201d<\/div>\n
Though he asked casually, he was genuinely curious about Serenity\u2019s recent situation with her husband.<\/div>\n
Jasmine had mentioned that Serenity\u2019s husband helped suppress the trending search and even accompanied her back to her hometown to gather evidence for a counterattack, leaving Serenity feeling grateful toward him.<\/div>\n
Shawn thought to himself, \u2018I want to help Serenity as well, but she hasn\u2019t given me the opportunity. I called her that day, but she didn\u2019t answer.\u2019<\/div>\n
She had only sent him a message later saying that she was fine.<\/div>\n
\u201cI was late because I helped a pretty lady who needed assistance on my way here. Oh, that smells delicious! What are you cooking, Jasmine?\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity intended to head to the cashier to sit down when she caught a whiff of the aroma. She turned and walked toward the small kitchen.<\/div>\n
Shawn followed her, wanting to catch up and embrace her, but he lacked the courage to do so. He didn\u2019t feel bold enough to flirt with her, believing his achievements had not yet earned him that right.<\/div>\n
He loved her and felt it necessary to respect her. Even though he longed to be close to her, to hug her, or even to kiss her, he had to suppress those feelings because she was now married.<\/div>\n
The thought pained his heart. To Serenity, he was merely a younger brother. Even if she needed a man for a quick marriage, he knew she would never consider him.<\/div>\n
When Jasmine remained quiet, Shawn said to Serenity, \u201cI brought some food from home for you and Jas to enjoy.\u201d<\/div>\n

He sent a delightful breakfast to Serenity and Jasmine. The Lowe family was wealthy, and their chef, who hailed from a five-star hotel, was well compensated for his exceptional cooking. Additionally, as childhood friends, he was well aware of their culinary preferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucky me!\u201d Serenity exclaimed as she and Jasmine savored the meal prepared by Shawn.<\/p>\n

Shawn watched the two women enjoy their food with delight, unable to hide the grin spreading across his face.<\/p>\n

With a smile, he asked, \u201cSerenity, when can you invite me out for a meal?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Saturday. I\u2019ll treat you to lunch. What do you want to eat? Jasmine, you should join us too. We don\u2019t have much business on weekends, so closing the shop for a day won\u2019t hurt. Plus, if you stay home, your families will just nag you about when you\u2019ll get married. Why not enjoy a meal together instead?\u201d <\/p>\n

Jasmine quickly agreed, \u201cSure.\u201d <\/p>\n

She, too, dreaded the thought of spending the weekend at home, facing her parents\u2019 relentless questioning. Her mother often urged her to marry into a wealthy family to live a life of luxury like her aunt. Jasmine felt overwhelmed by her mother\u2019s persistent pressure. Her father was slightly more understanding, suggesting that she should find someone from a family with a similar background to avoid any issues of status.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a restaurant with great food next to Beans and Cream. It\u2019s not overly fancy, but it\u2019s nice enough, and the prices are reasonable, so it\u2019s quite popular. Let\u2019s eat there. After lunch, we can head next door to Beans and Cream for a cup of coffee. After all, it\u2019s the most upscale caf\u00e9 in the city.\u201d <\/p>\n

The last time Serenity accompanied her friend on a blind date at Beans and Cream, she felt that it<\/p>\n

The ambiance was pleasant, but she didn\u2019t pay attention to the shops nearby. She intended to treat Shawn to a meal, but he unexpectedly suggested that venue for lunch. Regardless, she had no reason to decline.<\/p>\n
