Serenity said, “My husband gave it to me. Isn’t it pretty? I think it’s beautiful. I love it!”
After taking countless photos of the bouquet, Serenity put down her phone to pick up the bouquet and took a sniff. “It smells so good too!”
To Shawn, this scene was an eyesore.
“Oh, your husband gave it to you? What’s the occasion today? I haven’t seen him send flowers to you before.” Shawn’s smile was a little stiff. His tone was a little bitter as if he had a bone to pick.
Serenity looked up at him and said, “Does it need to be an occasion for my husband to send me flowers? If I want, my husband can send me a bunch of flowers every day. I was just worried that he’d spend too much because a bouquet isn’t cheap. It’s not edible either. I told my husband that it would be better if he saved that money to buy meat instead of flowers. That’s why he never sent me flowers.”
Shawn said, “Right…”
"Shawn, are you looking for Jas? Why don’t you call her? She should be back soon.”
“It’s nothing. I just passed by and thought of coming in here to see you two. I’ll head back to work then.”
“Okay.”
Serenity responded while she admired the bouquet that Zachary gave her.
When Shawn saw that her attention was on the bunch of flowers, he felt unbearable. But he could not say anything about it, so he turned around and left.
Since the last time Serenity rejected Shawn’s invitation to attend a business reception with him, she was indifferent to him. She had always intentionally emphasized to him that she was a married woman.
Shawn thought, ‘Didn’t Serenity get married to a stranger?’
Jas said that Serenity only got married to put Liberty’s mind at ease and that Serenity and her husband signed a half-year agreement. They would divorce after the contract period.
Did Serenity fall in love with her stranger husband?
Shawn was listless.
“Shawn? Why are you here? Don’t you need to go to work?”
Jasmine brought Sonny back just in time to see her cousin’s dejected appearance and immediately understood what was going on.
