I\u2019m leaving it in your hands.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine laughed. \u201cNo problem at all. You should enjoy some time with Grandma May and take a break. I\u2019ll handle the store\u2014everything will be just fine.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Besides, tomorrow was the weekend.<\/div>\n<div>The store was typically closed on weekends. If they did open, it would just be Serenity inside, hurriedly fulfilling her orders.<\/div>\n<div>After hanging up, Jasmine muttered to herself, \u201cSeren\u2019s life after marriage is becoming more and more exciting.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cJas.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The familiar voice made Jasmine\u2019s charming face cloud over.<\/div>\n<div>Turning to face Shawn as he entered, she said coldly, \u201cShawn, are you ignoring what I told you last time? Don\u2019t come here again. There\u2019s no chance for you and Seren!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Just a few days had passed, but Shawn appeared worn-out. Dark circles hung under his eyes, and his stubble had grown out. At that moment, he didn\u2019t look like a twenty-two-year-old man.<\/div>\n<div>Seeing her cousin in such a state pained Jasmine\u2019s heart.<\/div>\n<div>The wounds of unrequited love were often invisible.<\/div>\n<div>Shawn had harbored feelings for Serenity for many years, so it was difficult for him to let go so quickly.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJas.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Shawn added, his voice filled with anguish, \u201cI\u2019ve forced myself to endure this for the past few days, but I can\u2019t take it any longer. Every time I calm down, I end up thinking about Serenity again. I really, truly like her. I love her. I can\u2019t just give up. What should I do, Jas? Can you help me? Please?\u201d<\/div>\n<p>He grasped Jasmine\u2019s shoulders and pleaded, \u201cJas, I\u2019m your cousin. No one can help me but you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine pushed his hands away and replied firmly, \u201cShawn, how many times do I have to say this? Serenity is married. She has a husband. That fact won\u2019t change no matter how much you love her. Just give up. She\u2019s not right for you, and there\u2019s no way she\u2019ll love you back.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She then sternly cautioned him, \u201cIf you dare to pester her shamelessly, don\u2019t blame me for being heartless. Doing that will only drive Serenity away from you. You won\u2019t even be able to maintain a normal friendship with her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Shawn was filled with anguish. <\/p>\n<p>He had harbored feelings for her in secret for many years and was finally ready to confess, but now his beloved woman was someone else\u2019s wife. <\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t even express his deep love to her. <\/p>\n<p>He felt sorrowful, but also regretful. <\/p>\n<p>He regretted not confessing his love when he first realized his feelings. Even if he was underage back then, he could have let Serenity wait for him to grow up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJas, I want to see Serenity. Can I?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine smacked his arm in frustration. \u201cAre you even listening to me? Are you trying to hurt Serenity?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJas, can\u2019t you see how much pain I\u2019m in? Don\u2019t you feel sorry for me at all?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pain will fade. It\u2019s better for you to move on. Shawn, you\u2019re still young\u2014only twenty-two. You have your whole life ahead of you. With your status, many women will notice you. You should find a girl who can\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You need to please your mother, and find someone who is a suitable match for your family, not Serenity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how wonderful Serenity is, she doesn\u2019t belong to you. I\u2019m not undermining my best friend, but the realities of your two lives are simply too different. The Lowe family will never permit you, their heir, to marry a woman who offers nothing beneficial to you and your family. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenity has no support, power, or authority. She merely runs a small business, which is of no advantage to a large company like yours. Do you really believe you can marry her just because you have feelings for her? Have you thought about the practical implications? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShawn, you\u2019re still too young to see the bigger picture clearly. It\u2019s overly naive to assume you can marry someone simply because you like them. Please listen to me and stop fixating on Serenity. She\u2019s already married!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 428 On her way to Westyard Resort, Serenity called Jasmine. \u201cJas, I\u2019m going for a walk with Nana today [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
