Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Falling In Love

Rowen felt a tightness in his throat. He looked at the distant sky and said, “Aunt Katherine says it's about time for dinner.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked back into the mansion.

Celine sat in the lounge chair, lost in thought for a moment. Then, she picked up her literature textbook, put it back in her room, and went downstairs for dinner.

Katherine was going to travel abroad with Joshua the next day, and they wouldn't be back for about half a month. After dinner, Katherine specifically asked Celine what gift she would like.

Celine knew that the furthest place she had ever been to was probably this city district of Jadeborough. As for elsewhere, she had only heard about them through books or news on her mobile phone.

Katherine asked Celine what gift she wanted, but the latter really had no idea what gift she desired.

“I love everything that Mrs. Lewis buys!”

“All right, then. I'll make the decision for you!”

Katherine asked, glancing at Rowen. “How about you, Rowie?”

Upon hearing Katherine's words, Rowen subconsciously wanted to say lipstick. However, he reacted quickly, realizing his mistake before the words left his mouth. “You choose for me. I'm not picky.”

Katherine clicked her tongue. “Your words don't have a shred of credibility.”

Rowen shrugged his shoulders, looking at Lewinn. “Then I want whatever Lewinn is getting.”

Katherine turned her gaze to Lewinn, who looked somewhat helpless. “Sneakers,” he said. “They haven't been released domestically yet. I'll send you a picture.”

Katherine broke into a satisfied smile. “All right. After all, you guys only need those few things.”

Knowing that Rowen and Celine had school the next day, Katherine chatted with them for a while before letting them return to their rooms.

Celine double-checked her backpack, making sure she had all her homework and textbooks. Only then did she grab her pajamas and head to take a bath.

The pajamas were bought by Katherine. They were white, with a doll collar, sweet and cute. Celine had never worn such beautiful pajamas before.

At first, she felt a bit embarrassed when she started wearing it. After some time, she gradually got used to it.

After taking a bath, she noticed her phone flashing on the table. She thought it was a message from Harper, but when she picked up her phone, she realized it was a message from Rowen.

Rowen said he hadn't memorized his words for that day, asking her to bring the Ustranasion textbook over.

Celine had no choice but to pull out her Ustranasion textbook from her backpack. She walked out and knocked on Rowen's door. “Rowie?”

“The door's not closed. Come on in.”

Rowen was in the midst of coding when Celine turned the doorknob, pushing the door open. At first glance, she saw the laptop on his desk, its screen filled with lines of dense code.

She couldn't understand, but she guessed that Rowen was busy with important matters.

Rowen looked up at her, his gaze falling on her. His eyes flickered for a moment. “Ready to sleep?”

“Not yet.”

She usually wouldn't go to bed that early.

“Oh. Hold on. Let me finish writing this program.”

“Okay.”

Celine nodded, opened her Ustranasion textbook, and began to read.

After finishing his programming, Rowen closed his laptop. Turning his head, he saw Celine sitting nearby, engrossed in the Ustranasion textbook.

The pajamas she wore were clearly the handiwork of Katherine, with its doll collar and frilled sleeves. The edges of the sleepwear were adorned with lace. If he remembered correctly, that was what girls called princess-style pajamas.

He wasn't sure if it was due to the lighting or the pajamas, but Rowen found that Celine's complexion was much paler than when he first met her. The wrists peeking out from under the white sleeves were even whiter than the clothes themselves.

The previously heavy bangs that used to cover the eyes seem to have been trimmed. They were no longer a thick layer of hair, but rather individual strands of bangs, giving a much cleaner and refreshing look.

He remembered the first time he saw Celine. She was wearing faded jeans and a white cartoon top, both of which were loose and baggy. After one glance, he didn't want to look at her a second time.

The phone on the table lit up. Irving asked him to log in for a gaming session.
