Chapter 492<\/div>\n
Shawn spoke in anguish. \u201cSeren, I understand that you\u2019re married, but it\u2019s merely a marriage of convenience. You\u2019ll get a divorce. I care for you, Serenity, and I\u2019ve been in love with you for a long time.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI realize you can\u2019t accept me right now. I attempted to keep my distance from you, but I couldn\u2019t manage it. You\u2019re the only one on my mind at every opportunity. Serenity, I want you to know that I love you.\u201d<\/div>\n
Presenting Serenity with the bouquet again, he looked her directly in the eye. \u201cSerenity, will you give me a chance to pursue you?\u201d<\/div>\n
Jasmine had spoken to him and cautioned him against it.<\/div>\n
Yet, Shawn could not simply abandon his feelings and give up.<\/div>\n
He genuinely loved Serenity.<\/div>\n
Shawn regretted not confessing his feelings for Serenity the instant he fell in love with her. If he had been honest about his feelings, Serenity might have waited to marry until he was older instead of marrying a stranger.<\/div>\n
Serenity reached out, took the flowers, and walked past Shawn to toss the bouquet into the bin by the door.<\/div>\n
Turning around, she said to Shawn, \u201cShawn, are you going to leave, or do I need to chase you out with a broomstick?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity!\u201d<\/div>\n
Shawn cried out in pain, \u201cCan\u2019t you be less cold toward me? You weren\u2019t like this before. You used to treat me so well. Your coldness now feels like a knife cutting through me over and over.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHow am I not a better choice than the husband you married without even meeting? We\u2019ve known each other for over a decade and shared everything. Why didn\u2019t you choose me?\u201d<\/div>\n
Jasmine explained it clearly to<\/p>\n

Shawn wondered why Serenity had not chosen him. The truth was, she had always viewed him as a younger brother. <\/p>\n

However, Shawn refused to accept this reality. He didn\u2019t want to be Serenity\u2019s younger brother; he wanted to be her husband and partner. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was only kind to you because I saw you as a younger brother. I would rather die than have been nice if I\u2019d known it would give you the wrong impression,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

After a decade of friendship, Serenity felt she had been there for Shawn as he grew up. It was difficult for her to remain indifferent toward him now, but she had to! <\/p>\n

Serenity was no longer alone; Zachary was now supporting her. She could no longer act as she pleased or be nice to just anyone, as she was now Zachary\u2019s wife. She had to consider his feelings. <\/p>\n

Moreover, she did not have romantic feelings for Shawn. To her, he was like a younger brother. How could there be romance between siblings? <\/p>\n

She needed to maintain distance so that Shawn could move on from his feelings. <\/p>\n

Disappointment washed over Shawn\u2019s face. <\/p>\n

\u201cSerenity\u2026 how am I lesser than your husband? You two don\u2019t even know each other, yet you can marry without feelings involved. Why can\u2019t you give me a chance when we\u2019ve known each other for over a decade? All I want is the opportunity to wait for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Looking him dead in the eye, Serenity coldly replied, \u201cShawn, the fact that I would prefer to marry a stranger rather than choose you shows that I have no romantic feelings for you. What we have is a sibling relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t accept your feelings even if I were single, let alone now that I\u2019m married. I don\u2019t want to date my family. Besides,<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could I possibly fall for you when you feel like a brother to me?\u201d Serenity exclaimed. <\/p>\n

Shawn shouted back, \u201cWe\u2019re not siblings! We\u2019re not related by blood!\u201d <\/p>\n

He stepped forward, locking his bloodshot eyes onto Serenity\u2019s. \u201cPlease, Serenity. Just give me a chance.\u201d <\/p>\n

He reached out to take her hand, but she swiftly slapped his hand away with her duster. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t touch me, Shawn, or I won\u2019t hold back. You know I practice kickboxing.\u201d <\/p>\n

Although Serenity didn\u2019t want to get physical with Shawn, she would show no mercy if he continued to ignore her boundaries and tried to lay a finger on her! <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t stand a chance! Not in this lifetime, Shawn! You should leave before we become enemies. Don\u2019t ever come back here.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shawn\u2019s face turned pale, and he couldn\u2019t stop his lips from trembling. \u201cEnemies\u2026 Serenity, are you really going to consider me an enemy?\u201d <\/p>\n

He was in love with her, but she viewed him as a foe. The weight of her words was crushing him from the inside out.<\/p>\n
