Chapter 493


    “Shawn, I’m someone else’s wife now. My husband and I have gotten a marriage license. Although we


    married right away, we’re developing feelings for each other. I won’t betray my husband.


    “If you‘re hell–bent on getting in between my husband and I, starting troubles and rumors, you‘re


    depleting what‘s left of our rtionship. I‘ll be forced to hate you and see you as an enemy.”


    With paleness overtaking Shawn‘splexion, Serenity sighed, wondering when she ever sent out the


    wrong message.


    As she would put it, she would rather die than be nice to Shawn had she known it would give Shawn


    the wrong idea.


    Serenity was long–time friends with Jasmine, so she knew Shawn through Jasmine. As she was older


    than Shawn, Serenity had always yed the part of an older sister to him.


    It never crossed her mind that…


    “Shawn.”


    Rxing her tensed facial muscles, Serenity said, “You‘re a nice and cheerful boy, Shawn, but you and


    I don‘t go together. Stay away from me. I can promise to keep my distance from you too. Let time and


    distance help you to move on. You‘ll soon realize that it doesn‘t have to be


    “Letting go is not losing the person. You‘ll be gaining a new life to find the love that‘s yours to keep.


    Shawn, thank you for liking me. Please forgive me that I can‘t give you any chance because I‘ve fallen


    in love with my husband.


    “I won‘t leave him unless he gives up on our marriage. My heart can‘t ept another now that he lives


    in it.


    “Please don‘t do this again. Next time, I‘ll chase you out with a broom and cut ties with you. That would


    be it for our friendship.”


    Shawn shook.


    He could not believe Serenity could be so cruel.


    Her words were more than hurtful.


    “Serenity…”


    Serenity extended her hand out, gesturing for Shawn to leave.


    While doing that, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing not too far away.


    With Serenity looking over, Zachary threw the coat and umbre in his hand over the front hood of her


    car. The umbre happened to shield the coat from the rain.


    As she watched in dismay, Zachary turned around and took strides back to his car. He opened the


    door, got into the car, started the engine, and turned around to drive away.


    It was all done without pause.


    He was already far by the time Serenity snapped out of the trance.

    All Serenity could think about was ‘Oh, sh*t!‘.


    She was caught by Zachary yet again.


    Was he getting the wrong idea about her again?


    o note home, start another silent treatment, and delete her number once


    Wash more?


    Shawn‘s full attention was on Serenity, so he did not notice Zachary‘s arrival and departure. Seeing


    Serenity stunned there, he sensed something amiss and concernedly cried, “What‘s the matter,


    Serenity?”


    Serenity pushed him away and ran into the shop to grab the car keys from the cash register. She then


    made her way out and unlocked the car without an umbre. Serenity grabbed the coat and umbre


    on the hood along the way.


    She stuffed the coat and umbre into the car before getting in herself.


    “Serenity! Serenity!”


    Shawn came after her, pping on her car window and asking anxiously, “What happened, Serenity?”


    All Serenity could think about was catching up to Zachary and exining to him before he got the


    wrong impression again.


    Thest time, Zachary saw her serving Shawn some food. She had no idea Shawn had a crush on her


    at the time and was merely thanking him for his help. Shawn was a younger brother to her anyway.


    Zachary did not lose his temper at the time or even let her know that he saw her.


    He had an argument with her while he was drunk and started to stay out from the next day onward.


    Zachary gave her the cold shoulder for days and also deleted her number.
