Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 No One Has Confessed To Me

Rowen observed Celine, who was on the brink of tears, and his frown deepened. “Don't cry, I won't report you to Aunt Katherine.”

Celine blinked at his words. “Really?”

As she spoke, a tear escaped the corner of her eye and traced a path down her cheek.

Feeling embarrassed, she quickly lifted her hand to brush the tear away. “I'm not crying,” she asserted. “Really.”

Rowen studied her for a moment, concerned that she might actually burst into tears soon. “You should get back to studying.”

Celine picked up her textbook, cast a quick glance at Rowen, and pursed her lips. “I truly didn't cry.”

With that statement, she hurried back to her room, clutching her textbook.

An amused glint danced in Rowen's dark eyes as he watched Celine disappear into her room.

Tsk, such a crybaby.

That evening, Harper called Celine.

She avoided mentioning the events of the afternoon, instead focusing on the photos they had taken and discussing their expressions in each one.

The conversation continued for over an hour. As Harper's phone battery started to dwindle, she cautiously said, “Cece, don't worry, they won't dare to mess with you again.”

Celine's eyes welled up upon hearing her words. “Yeah.”

Her voice quivered as she replied.

Not wanting to make things harder for her, Harper didn't press on. “My phone is about to die, I have to hang up now. See you on Monday!”

Harper was planning to visit her grandmother the following day. Otherwise, they might have made plans to meet up.

“Sure thing.” Celine's soft response came before she ended the call. She gazed at her phone, her lip caught between her teeth as she fought back tears.

The next Monday, Lewinn did something unusual, he didn't get out of bed.

During breakfast, Rowen unexpectedly spoke up. “Let me know when you're leaving.”

Celine was taken aback by his statement but managed to respond. “I'm going to school with Harper.”

Rowen arched an eyebrow “Lewinn won't be heading to school this morning, so he asked me to drop you off at Harper's place.”

“Oh.”

Just then, Katherine entered the room from the kitchen. “Is your friend named Harper?”

Celine nodded. “Aunt Katherine, do you happen to know Harper too?”

Katherine gave Rowen a look before letting out a chuckle. “Of course. Harper has been chasing after Rowie since junior high. It's been quite a few years now.”

Celine was aware of Harper's long-standing crush on Rowen.

Her expression shifted, but before she could say anything, Rowen cut in, “Aunt Katherine, are there more shrimp frittatas?”

Katherine gave Rowen an amused look and decided to expose him. “Rowie, feeling shy, are we? No need to be embarrassed. With your looks, it's natural for girls to have a crush on you, right?”

Katherine gave Celine an encouraging look as she continued, “Celine is very beautiful as well. I'm sure you have quite a few admirers at school, don't you?”

Rowen's eyebrows furrowed at this, and he chimed in, “Aunt Katherine, you know dating isn't allowed at our school.”

“Oh come on, rules can be bent a little sometimes.”

She then winked at Celine, adding, “But remember, Celine, don't let those boys take advantage of you. It's okay to date, but be careful. Handsome faces don't always mean they'll amount to anything in the future.”

Celine blushed in embarrassment. She lowered her head and admitted softly, “No one has ever confessed to me, Aunt Katherine.”
