Chapter 137 When Serenity got back to her
store, she saw Shawn there. She smiled at and greeted him. “Shawn, don‘t you have work today?”
Shawn looked at her with adoration hidden deep in his eyes and said, “I worked overtime last night, so I
can go in a little later today. How come you‘re late today?”
He asked seemingly casually, but in fact, he wanted to inquire about Serenity‘s recent situation with her
husband
Jasmine said that Serenity‘s husband had helped to suppress the trending search and even accompani
ed her back to her hometown to collect evidence for the counterattack, so Serenity was grateful to him.
Shawn thought, ‘I also want to help Serenity, but she didn‘t give me a chance to. I called her that day, b
ut she didn‘t answer the phone.‘
She had only sent him a message saying that she was fine afterward
“There was a pretty lady asking for help on my way here. I was late
because I lent her a hand. Oh, that smells good. What are you eating, Jasmine?”
Serenity was planning on going to the cashier to sit down
when she smelled the aroma. She spun on her heel and walked to the small kitchen.
Shawn followed her, wanting to catch up
to her and hug her in his arms. However, he had no guts to do so. He

His heart clenched in pain at that thought. In Serenity‘s eyes, he was just a younger brother. Even if sh
e needed a man for a flash marriage, she would never consider him.
When Jasmine remained silent, Shawn said to Serenity, “I brought some food from home for you and J
as to eat.”
He sent a loving breakfast to Serenity and Jasmine. The Lowe family was wealthy too, and the chef at
home was from a five–star hotel. The family paid him handsomely to cook for them since his
food was especially delicious. Furthermore, since all three of them were childhood friends, he was famil
iar with their preferences.
“Lucky me.” Serenity enjoyed with Jasmine the food brought by Shawn
Shawn watched the two ladies eat with relish, and he could not stop the grin forming at the corners of h
is
mouth.
He asked with a smile , “Serenity , when are you free to invite me to a meal?”
“This Saturday. I‘ll treat you to lunch. What do you want to eat? Jasmine, join us too. We don‘t get much
family about when you would get married if you stay home, so why not come out to eat together?”
Jasmine readily agreed, “Sure.”
She was also afraid to stay at home and get an earful from her parents during the weekends.
Her mother wanted her to marry into a rich family to enjoy glory and wealth like her aunt. She felt like he
“There‘s a restaurant with good food next to Beans and Cream. The place isn‘t too upscale , but it‘s not
of coffee. After all, that‘s the most high–class cafe in the city.”
The last time Serenity accompanied her friend to a blind
