Grandma May told Serenity about Zachary ‘s size, so Serenity chose two sets of new clothes, both in Zachary ‘s favorite color, which was black, as well as two new ties. After making the purchase, she went back to the bookstore.
It was during the evening rush hour when students were out of school as Zachary arrived around six o ‘clock. However at this time, the students were attending extra classes after school, so the store was not busy.
Knowing that Serenity needed some alone time with her husband, Jasmine smiled and said, “Serenity, go home with Mr. York. Don ‘t let him wait here for too long. I ‘II close up tonight”
Jasmine smiled. “Don‘t mention it! You‘ve always closed up for the night in the past, so I‘ve been taking advantage of you. I‘ll only feel better now by making up for it.”
Serenity accepted her friend‘s offer and picked up the clothes she bought before bidding Jasmine goodbye and walking out of the bookstore. When she opened the car door, she placed the bag of clothes on the passenger seat and said to Zachary, “You can head home first. I need to go to the market to buy some vegetables. If you can, cook some pasta while waiting. Otherwise , just wait till I get home.”
Zachary glanced at her e–bike and said, “Where‘s your new car?”
“I left the house later than usual today, so I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. That‘s why I took the bike.”
Serenity put on her helmet and said, “I‘m leaving.”
Without waiting for Zachary to reply, Serenity rode the bike away.
Zachary was left speechless.
Serenity did things in a hurry sometimes, which was a contrast to Zachary‘s calmness,
Looking at the bag of clothes on the passenger seat, Zachary took it and rummaged through. He noticed they were menswear. He frowned and thought, ‘Who did she buy these for?‘
Zachary checked the size and noticed that all of them matched his and they were black in color. Could they be for him? His displeasure vanished after some thought. Zachary saw Jasmine corning out of the store and greeted Jasmine with a nod before he drove away. As soon as Zachary left Shawn arrived.
Jasmine was startled when she saw her cousin. She stretched out her hand and pulled on Shawn ‘s beard.” Shawn, I haven ‘t seen you in a while. Why did you grow such a long beard? You should shave it off. Don ‘t grow a beard at such a young age. You ‘II look old!
“Have you been very busy and tired recently? You look so haggard and fatigued. It ‘s good to be hardworking , but don ‘t overwork yourself. After all, your body is a temple. You have to take care of your health.”
“I ‘in fine, but I ‘m a little bury with work.”
Shawn actually grew his beard for Serenity’ s sake. It was not long beard anyway. Jasmine was just surprised because Shawn usually had a clean—shaven face.
“Alas, Serenity ‘s not here?” Shawn asked casually when he saw that his cousin was alone in the store.
“Serenity went home early to cook up a feast for Mr. York as a token of appreciation for helping her tremendously. Are you looking for Serenity ? You can tell me what it ‘s about and I can relay the message.”
“It ‘s nothing. I ‘In just asking. Serenity said she wanted to treat me to a meal, but I don ‘t know when she ‘II fulfill her promise.” Jasmine laughed. “You ‘re both close friends, so ordering takeout for you is also considered treating you to a meal.” Shawn was silent He wanted to eat alone with Serenity. “Jas, Serenity and her husband married at first sight Do you think their relationship will last?”
Serenity was Shawn ‘s first crush. Although he was a little younger than Serenity, he believed he could take good care of her. When he found out Serenity got hitched, he was so lost and could not bear to let her go. Thus, he hoped and looked forward to Serenity getting a divorce.
“Mr. York is callous, but he treats Serenity well. They should feel some spark between them after living together for a while. If it really doesn ‘t work out they ‘II divorce half a year later since the two of them signed an agreement”
Jasmine looked at her cousin suspiciously and asked,” Shawn, why are you asking about this?”
Shawn would not admit his feelings for Serenity and that he was looking forward to Serenity‘s divorce, so he lied.” I just care about Serenity. I don‘t mean anything else. Serenity is a nice girl. If her husband doesn‘t treat her well, it‘ll be better to get a divorce sooner so she can find a man who will appreciate her. That way, she can live a good life.”
“That‘s true. Serenity is great! I believe Mr. York will fall in love with her. He might even fall for her sooner than the other way round!”
Jasmine only wished the best for her friend.
Shawn‘s heart ached.
He could not tell his cousin that he had a crush on Serenity because he was afraid Jasmine would tell his mother.
Not to mention, Shawn was a little younger than Serenity. Even if Serenity were to divorce, his mother would never accept Serenity as a daughter–in–law. Before Shawn had full confidence in pursuing Serenity, he was careful to conceal his feelings from others.
