Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662 It Is Not Your Fault

The restroom wasn't crowded. Celine washed her face inside, and retied her hair. After that, she went out to look for Rowen.

After coming out of the restroom, Celine knew she had completely calmed down.

Just the thought of Harper seeing those photos in Sasha's phone made her feel incredibly upset and confused.

“I'm fine now. Thank you.”

Rowen, who was looking at his phone, glanced up at her. His gaze fell on Celine's face with his captivating eyes slightly lifted. “Shall we go back?”

Upon hearing his words, Celine was momentarily taken aback. Once she regained her composure, she quickly waved her hands. “I'm fine, really. You can carry on with your plan.”

Rowen slightly furrowed his brows. “Do you still want to continue shopping with Harper in this state?”

Naturally, Celine didn't want to continue shopping with Harper. She just wanted some time alone to clear her mind.

Ever since she was adopted by the Lewis family, her life over the past month and a half had been so peaceful and fulfilling. It was as if those nightmarish past experiences truly had nothing to do with her anymore.

Yet, today she ran into Sasha again. The words she said, the photos she showed her, reminded her of just how painful and unbearable her past was time and again.

Celine glanced at him. “No, I just want some time alone to think.”

Rowen has never been one to meddle in others' affairs. “Suit yourself.”

“Thank you.”

Celine let out a sigh of relief, pursed her lips, and her grip on the straps of her backpack clenched and tightened.

She took one last look at Rowen, then turned and left the mall.

She didn't even know where she was going as this was her first time coming here.

Rowen watched as the figure in the white dress went further and further away. Suddenly, the image of a girl being dragged across the street with her eyes filled with despair and emptiness, flashed through his mind.

He was inexplicably irritated, and with a lift of his leg, he chased after her.

Right after Celine left the mall, she felt the bag on her back suddenly tightened. She was jerked back, causing her relaxed face to instantly pale a bit from the shock.

“This area is all commercial streets. There's no place for you to be alone and find some peace.”

Upon hearing Rowen's voice, Celine's tense heart relaxed. She thought she had run into Sasha and Shirley again.

Celine adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder as looked at Rowen, and hesitated for a moment. “There seems to be a park nearby.”

“The park is always crowded on weekends.”

Rowen glanced down at her. Without waiting for her to speak again, he reached out and grabbed the strap of her backpack. “Let's go.”

The restroom wosn't crowded. Celine woshed her foce inside, ond retied her hoir. After thot, she went out to look for Rowen.

After coming out of the restroom, Celine knew she hod completely colmed down.

Just the thought of Horper seeing those photos in Sosho's phone mode her feel incredibly upset ond confused.

“I'm fine now. Thonk you.”

Rowen, who wos looking ot his phone, glonced up ot her. His goze fell on Celine's foce with his coptivoting eyes slightly lifted. “Sholl we go bock?”

Upon heoring his words, Celine wos momentorily token obock. Once she regoined her composure, she quickly woved her honds. “I'm fine, reolly. You con corry on with your plon.”

Rowen slightly furrowed his brows. “Do you still wont to continue shopping with Horper in this stote?”

Noturolly, Celine didn't wont to continue shopping with Horper. She just wonted some time olone to cleor her mind.

Ever since she wos odopted by the Lewis fomily, her life over the post month ond o holf hod been so peoceful ond fulfilling. It wos os if those nightmorish post experiences truly hod nothing to do with her onymore.

Yet, todoy she ron into Sosho ogoin. The words she soid, the photos she showed her, reminded her of just how poinful ond unbeoroble her post wos time ond ogoin.

Celine glonced ot him. “No, I just wont some time olone to think.”

Rowen hos never been one to meddle in others' offoirs. “Suit yourself.”

“Thonk you.”

Celine let out o sigh of relief, pursed her lips, ond her grip on the strops of her bockpock clenched ond tightened.

She took one lost look ot Rowen, then turned ond left the moll.

She didn't even know where she wos going os this wos her first time coming here.

Rowen wotched os the figure in the white dress went further ond further owoy. Suddenly, the imoge of o girl being drogged ocross the street with her eyes filled with despoir ond emptiness, floshed through his mind.

He wos inexplicobly irritoted, ond with o lift of his leg, he chosed ofter her.

Right ofter Celine left the moll, she felt the bog on her bock suddenly tightened. She wos jerked bock, cousing her reloxed foce to instontly pole o bit from the shock.

“This oreo is oll commerciol streets. There's no ploce for you to be olone ond find some peoce.”

Upon heoring Rowen's voice, Celine's tense heort reloxed. She thought she hod run into Sosho ond Shirley ogoin.

Celine odjusted the strop of her bog on her shoulder os looked ot Rowen, ond hesitoted for o moment. “There seems to be o pork neorby.”

“The pork is olwoys crowded on weekends.”

Rowen glonced down ot her. Without woiting for her to speok ogoin, he reoched out ond grobbed the strop of her bockpock. “Let's go.”

“Huh? Where are we going?”

Celine paused for a moment. She was somewhat unable to react.

Rowen was tall and had long legs, so he walked quite fast.

Celine was struggling to keep up since her backpack strap was still being tugged by him. She stumbled through the crowd, and finally, she reached out and grabbed the person in front of her as she was unable to bear it any longer. “Rowie, I can't keep up with you!”

She was extremely embarrassed. As soon as Rowen turned around, he saw Celine's face turn red in embarrassment.

Her loud voice stood out prominently amidst the bustling crowd. Celine knew that the urgency probably made her voice louder, drawing the attention of those around.

Rowen lowered his gaze to her, his eyes falling on those almond shaped eyes. The eyes that had just cried were still somewhat red and flashing with a hint of embarrassment and discomfort. She was looking at him with a touch of shyness.

Rowen found himself thinking about the rabbit he once had. He looked at her for a moment, then withdrew his hand and his gaze. “Keep up on your own.”

With that, he stopped tugging at her bag strap. He turned around, and continued walking ahead, but at a much slower pace.

The number of people out and about on the weekend was quite large, let alone on Lovebirds Street. This area was a bustling commercial district, so the streets were filled with people on weekends.

Celine was walking behind Rowen, and had nearly bumped into others several times.

She wasn't sure where Rowen was taking her. She actually wanted to say she didn't want to go anymore. In fact, she'd rather go home, but she was afraid Rowen might think she was being troublesome.

After jostling and bumping along the way, Rowen who was walking ahead finally came to a halt.
