Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Elevating Her Standards In Choosing A Partner

After a short delay with the three of them, Celine and Rowen returned to the Lewis residence just as Sophia and Alexander had arrived.

Parking the car, Celine followed behind Rowen as they went upstairs.

It was Celine's first time seeing Rowen's mother, who was sitting on the couch chatting with Katherine. She wore a green Ferropenian-style dress and despite not wearing any makeup, she looked as stunning as if she were a celebrity.

Katherine was quite particular about looks, and she had mentioned to Celine a couple of months ago when she first arrived at the Lewis residence that Rowen's mother was incredibly attractive. Rumor had it that people had even approached Rowen's mother when she was younger, suggesting she become a model or actress, but she had declined.

Harper had also mentioned a couple of days ago that Rowen's mother was exceptionally beautiful.

Every time Celine looked at Rowen's face, she thought about how handsome his parents must be. Seeing his mother now, Celine was completely taken aback.

Truly, she was breathtaking, like a fairy.

While Celine was lost in thought, the fairy suddenly looked her way. “Celine?”

Not only was she beautiful, but her voice was also enchanting.

Celine's face immediately turned red. Katherine watched from the side, raising an eyebrow. “Are you stunned by her beauty?”

Celine was already blushing, and when she heard Katherine's words, her face turned even redder. She stood there, feeling embarrassed, and couldn't help but speak honestly, even though she felt awkward. “Mrs. Xenos, you look very beautiful.”

Sophia arched an eyebrow. “What sweet words.”

She glanced at Katherine and smirked. “You've got that trait too.”

Katherine snorted and motioned Celine to come over. “Celine, come see the gift!”

Still carrying her backpack, Celine, without thinking much, walked over as Katherine beckoned.

Just a couple of steps in, her backpack suddenly felt lighter.

Celine blinked and turned to see Rowen holding onto the strap of her backpack. “Rowen?”

“Give me the backpack. I'll go upstairs.”

“Oh, okay. Thanks, Rowen.”

She handed her backpack to Rowen. He took it and headed upstairs.

Sophia raised an eyebrow, watching her son's departure thoughtfully.

Her son being considerate was rare.

Katherine, never one to miss a beat, noticed the dynamics too.

Sophia's gaze shifted, and she looked at Celine.

By this point, Celine had already settled down beside Katherine. She was petite and quite shy. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were large and bright when she looked at people.

After a short delay with the three of them, Celine and Rowen returned to the Lewis residence just as Sophia and Alexander had arrived.

Yes, she does seem rather adorable.

Celine could feel Sophia's gaze on her. It caused her to instinctively sit up straighter, her hands at her sides tensing.

Katherine passed the gift that Sophia brought to Celine. “Celine, a gift from Mrs. Xenos. See if you like it.”

Celine was pleasantly surprised. “Thank you, Mrs. Xenos.”

“Just a small gift,” Sophia said with a gentle smile. She liked this young girl adopted by Katherine.

Katherine was curious about what Sophia had given, noticing the relatively large packaging. She called out, encouraging Celine to unwrap the gift. “Quick, let's see what it is.”

Katherine glanced at Sophia. “Don't tell me you've given her a set of Three-Year Past University Entrance Exams and Five-Year Mock University Entrance Exams materials?”

Sophia chuckled at Katherine's words. “Those are a set of six books. Do you really think they're this big?”
