Chapter 378 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Serena did not look too pleased.

After all that was said to Shawn, he still came looking for her. Was Shawn trying to drive her to move her shop elsewhere or compelling her and Jasmine to break off their partnership?

It was a good thing that the term break was starting tomorrow, so there was no need for Serena to be at the shop. She could work on her crafts at home.

Serena soon looked away and continued packing up. She moved the display racks at the door into the shop.

Jasmine sped all the way.

Despite Shawn’s attempts to break the silence, Jasmine refused to say a word.

Shawn uttered peevishly, “Where are you taking me? I’m talking to you! Why are you ignoring me? I can’t have feelings for Serena anymore, but does that mean I can’t see my own cousin?”

“Don’t come to the shop if Serena is there.”

Tilting her head, Jasmine glared at him. “Shawn, are you trying to force Serena to move. her shop elsewhere or sever our business partnership?”

Shawn turned pale in the face and replied stubbornly, “I didn’t know Serena was at the shop, Jas. I’ve been having it tough at work. I just want to confide in you.”

He had always had a great relationship with his cousin.

Shawn would seek his cousin to stand up for him whenever he experienced a rough patch.

Sure, he had a lot of male cousins, but he had no guts to go straight to them.

Shawn would let Jasmine know, and Jasmine would notify the male cousins, so everybody would band up to stick up for him.)

His parents were nice to Jasmine’s family, not just because they were family, but also because Jasmine was supportive, helpful, and protective toward him more than other family members do.

Jasmine had always had Shawn’s back through thick and thin. His cousin was in the position to give him the upper hand at getting the woman of his dreams. However, not only was Jasmine not supportive, but she was against it for the first time ever. She stopped him. and even yelled at him.

Shawn was in agony, unable to obtain the woman he loved.

The fact that his closest cousin did not support him only added to the pain.

“I’m all ears if you want to talk to me about your work. You can call me or go to my place. I’m not working tomorrow since it’s the weekend. What do you want to talk about? I can give you the whole day to pour out your feelings.

“I mean, of course, things aren’t going well for you at work. Is your focus on your work? All you think about is pestering Serena. I told you a million times. Serena’s married and doesn’t have that kind of feelings for you. What’s the point of getting all over her face?

“You’re only chipping away what’s left of your friendship with her. She and her husband have gotten into two arguments because of you. You won’t feel bad about it, but I do.”

Tilting his head, Shawn looked at the fleeting scenery of the bustling cityscape outside the window.

Although many traveled home to be with their families as the new year closed in, a lot stayed to party in the city.

“I can’t help myself, Jas. I know it’s wrong, and people will call me a homewrecker to come. in between Serena and her husband, but I simply can’t help myself. I just want to see her. I’m happy to look at her without talking.

“I’ve known her for over a decade, yet I become a homewrecker… Zack should be the homewrecker. It had only been a few months since he knew Serena. Why did he get to overtake me?”

Jasmine would pull Shawn under a running faucet and pin his head under for a drench to wake him up if she was not driving right now.

“Love is not about long you know the girl, but about connections. You and Serena are not meant to be. So what if you guys know each other your whole life? You and Serena wouldn’t work out even if Zack wasn’t in the picture. Why can’t you get it in your head? Why are you so hung up about the duration?

“Serena doesn’t love you, and that’s the most crucial point. Zack has nothing on you if she loves you. She only sees you as a brother.”

Shawn tugged on his hair with anguish. “Jas, I don’t want to be her brother. I’m not related to her by blood at all. I just want to give it a go, Jas. I won’t be able to get over it without. going for it.”

“How do you intend to give it a go? Hasn’t Serena made it clear to you?

“What? Do you plan to broadcast to the world that you’re wooing her?”

Shawn was speechless.

That had crossed his mind.

“You hadn’t listened to a word I said to you, Shawn. Your love for Serena is hurting her. Not only are you causing arguments for the couple, but your parents, too, will never agree. to let you go after Serena.

“Your family can’t accept the relationship, and you don’t have the means to make it out there on your own. Your constant pestering will only bring harm to Serena. Are you calling this love?

“Shawn, love is not possessive. It’s letting go. You should wish her the best if you truly love. her. You’ll be happy when she’s happy, even if she’s not with you.”

Shawn was without a word.

Realizing that Jasmine was driving to his house, Shawn asked, “Are you taking me home, Jas?”

“I’m taking you home. My aunt must still be at home at this time. I want to show you your mom’s reaction when she finds out that you like Serena. You’ll understand what your love for Serena would bring.”

At first, Jasmine had no intention of letting her aunt know about Shawn’s feelings for Serena.

Jasmine knew her aunt well enough to expect a backlash after her aunt learned the whole thing.

However, due to Shawn’s constant harassment of Serena, Jasmine had to tell her aunt. and break Shawn’s heart in the cruelest way.

With his mother’s good opinion of Serena in mind, Shawn responded, “My mom will be happy. She loves Serena.”

Jasmine smirked.

All she could say was that Shawn was green and had a lot to learn about his mother.
