Jasmine said, “I’m only sharing all of this with you because I’m your cousin. Not to mention, Serenity doesn’t like you. Even if she did, I wouldn’t approve of you two being together p>
“Why not p>
“Because of your family. I know my aunt very well. If she discovers that you like Serenity, do you really think she’ll still smile at her? She will do everything in her power to keep you two apart, and she might even resort to extreme measures against Serenity.
“My aunt has been part of high society for over 20 years, and she has very high standards. As her only son and her hope, along with being the default successor of Lowe Enterprise, her expectations for you are sky-high. She wants you to marry someone from a wealthy family.
“Serenity is a wonderful girl, but her only drawback is her family background. If you were uninvolved, my aunt would gladly treat Serenity as her niece for my sake. But when it comes to you, she will be ruthless. In my aunt’s eyes, Serenity is definitely not a suitable daughter-in-law candidate.” Jasmine spoke plainly and without compassion.
“Shawn, your feelings for Serenity won’t help her; they will only bring her trouble. I’m your cousin, and I don’t want you to suffer from love, but I’m also Serenity’s best friend, and I don’t want her to be harmed by my relatives.
Shawn’s face grew even paler than before. He only knew he loved Serenity and noticed how much his mother adored her. He didn’t think any further than that.
“Serenity married a stranger to escape Liberty’s house because Liberty was always worried about her. To ease Liberty’s concerns, Serenity married Mr. York at first sight and deceived Liberty into believing their marriage was based on love.
“Why would Serenity choose to marry a stranger instead of asking us for help? It’s because she never considered you all. Your aunt once thought about setting Serenity up with your eldest cousin. In reality, if Serenity had shared her plans with me, she could have chosen any man from the family.
“But in the end, she married Mr. York without telling anyone p>
Shawn asked, his voice trembling, “Jas, do I have no chance at all p>
“None p>
Shawn was left speechless.
Seeing her cousin’s despair, Jasmine felt a pang of sympathy and sighed. “Shawn, take my advice. Let go of your crush on Serenity before she finds out. The sooner you do, the better your chances of maintaining your friendship with her. Otherwise, you risk losing it entirely p>
“I think Serenity knows. She’s been very cold to me lately…” Shawn replied bitterly. “Serenity and I will either become lovers, husband and wife, or strangers p>
Jasmine retorted sharply, “Then you should become strangers. It’s for the best p>
“Jas!” Shawn’s eyes filled with tears.
Serenity was the first girl he ever liked, and he had harbored feelings for her for many years. He had thought about it deeply. They had known each other for over a decade, his cousin was also Serenity’s best friend, and even his mother cherished Serenity. Thus, he planned to confess his love to her when…
He was more mature now. They would eventually find their happy ending. However, his cousin cruelly shattered his hopes. The pain he felt was immense, as if his heart had been shattered into a million pieces.
“Shawn, if you truly love Serenity, you should stay away from her. That’s what’s best for her. If you genuinely love someone, being together isn’t always necessary. As long as she’s happy, you’ll find happiness too p>
“Seeing her well would bring you relief p>
Shawn’s eyes were red, and he replied bitterly, “Jas, I’m not that selfless p>
He loved Serenity and wanted to be her husband. He couldn’t be so selfless as to feel happy for her while she was with another man.
