Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 Too Talkative

It had been a while since Harper rode a bicycle. She was swerving all over the place. Celine, sitting at the back of the bicycle, nearly fell off several times.

Thankfully, after walking for a while, Harper finally got the hang of it.

“Hang on tight. I'm about to speed up!”

As Harper spoke, she really did pick up her pace.

On a summer night, the breeze that blew was refreshingly cool. Celine couldn't help but smile as she watched Harper in front of her.

The distance of over eight hundred meters was covered in just over two minutes.

Harper hit the brakes, panting as she turned to look at Celine. “Cece, are we going fast enough?”

“Yeah.”

Celine got out of the car. “Be careful on your way back, Harper.”

“Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You should go ahead!”

As the two were in conversation, something was suddenly tossed at their feet.

Celine looked down and bent over to pick it up, only to realize it was a piece of chocolate.

She found it a bit odd, but Harper had already seen Rowen on the second floor of the mansion.

The Lewis residence was quite large, with a garden spanning several hundred square meters. It was quite a feat for Rowen to be able to accurately toss the chocolates to them without hitting anyone.

Harper curled her lips. “You should go back. Rowen must be waiting for you!”

“Rowie?”

Celine also looked up, and through the distance of more than ten meters, she could barely make out a person standing on the second-floor balcony.

“I'm off now, Cece. See you tomorrow!”

Upon hearing Harper's voice, Celine quickly averted her gaze. By the time she looked back at Harper, she was already far away, riding her bicycle.

Celine watched as Harper's figure gradually faded into the moonlight, a smile playing on her lips. She then took out her key and entered the mansion.

By then, Rowen was the only one left in the mansion.

Lewinn had a competition out of town this weekend, so he wasn't going to be home. Hence, Rowen was alone at home.

As soon as Celine stepped up the stairs, she saw Rowen coming in from the balcony.

She glanced down at the chocolate in her palm. “Rowie, I'm back.”

“Okay,” Rowen responded, “Hannah made some hot cocoa, and it's in the kitchen.”

Celine nodded. “I haven't finished my math homework yet.”

Hearing her words, Rowen lightly clicked his tongue. “You're only coming back now even though you haven't finished your homework?”

Celine looked troubled and said, “I had something to work on.”

“It's eight o'clock.”

Rowen pointed to the wall clock. Celine was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and hurriedly said, “I should go do my homework now.”

As she spoke, she took another glance at Rowen.

Truth was, she had finished all her homework. The remaining few math problems were ones she didn't know how to solve.

But she sensed that Rowen didn't seem to be in a good mood, so Celine didn't dare to speak up.

Seeing that he was no longer speaking, she ascended the stairs.

Thinking about the photo that had already been deleted, Celine returned to her room, still somewhat excited. She stared at the math book on the table for a long time, unable to remember what she was supposed to do.

It wasn't until the door was knocked that Celine came back to her senses, quickly getting up to answer it.

The door opened, and Rowen came in carrying a tray. On it was a plate of grapes and a cup of hot cocoa.

“Hannah reminded me to tell you to drink the hot cocoa.”

“Thank you, Rowie.”

Celine quickly took the tray and placed it on the desk.

The hot cocoa was still a bit warm. Celine touched the rim of the cup and noticed Rowen looking at the blank spaces on her practice book. She blushed slightly. “Rowie, I only have these few questions left.”

Rowen glanced at her. “You don't know how to do them?”

“Mm-hmm.”
