Chapter 657 Our Celine Is Truly Beautiful
Chapter 657 Our Celine Is Truly Beautiful
Celine was taken aback for a moment and stared at him somewhat blankly. After a while, she finally responded, “There's none left.”
Upon hearing her say that, Rowen raised an eyebrow but did not continue to ask further.
In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed since Celine transferred to Gautier High School. May was just around the corner, and summer was fast approaching. Of course, the midterm exams were also on their way.
This was Celine's first time participating in the uniform exam at Gautier High School. In the days leading up to the exam, she basically stayed up reviewing until eleven o'clock before washing up and going to sleep.
Lately, she had barely even looked at her phone, let alone played any games on it.
Rowen had not seen “Linnie” online in the game for a week straight. More than half a month ago, he had already helped her reach the King rank. However, since then, he had not really played the game with her much.
Initially, he thought the other party would have some tricks up their sleeve. However, to his surprise, in the past two weeks, she only logged in occasionally. Whenever she did, she would play a game or two alone before logging out.
This week, Rowen noticed that her profile picture was always dark whenever he logged in.
He clicked on the main page of Linnie's profile. The latest battle record was still from a game that
started at 9:45 a week ago.
Rowen found it boring and did not even start playing. Instead, he just quit.
The midterm exams were tomorrow, and as always, he did not study.
Interestingly, he noticed that his deskmate, Celine, had been quite diligent lately. She was reciting mathematical formulas every day.
Memorizing without understanding was pointless. However, if she did not ask, he naturally could not be bothered to explain.
Every day, Celine would head out with Harper at noon. He had no idea where they went.
Initially, he thought she would be a troublesome deskmate. Surprisingly, her presence was quite unobtrusive when she was sitting next to him.
After the midterm exams ended, it happened to be the weekend. Celine and Harper planned to go shopping to unwind and relax.
During this period, the two of them had been using their lunch breaks to seek help from Allan and make up for the foundational mathematics they had missed in Grade Ten. They had put in a lot of effort for this exam. Now that it was finally over, it was naturally time to relax and unwind.
Celine realized that she had been transferred to the current school for quite some time now, yet she had never been out for a stroll around town.
Upon hearing that she had plans to go shopping with her classmates over the weekend, Katherine happily handed her a card, saying, “Celine, feel free to buy whatever you like. The password is your birthday!”
Before Celine knew it, Katherine had prepared a bank card for her. However, Celine was shy and had a strong sense of self-respect, so Katherine was afraid to hurt her and had no chance to present it. Today, she finally had the opportunity to bring out the bank card, which made Katherine very happy.
Celine felt a bit embarrassed while Lewinn, standing beside her, shook his head at her.
It had been over a month since Celine moved into the Lewis residence. Although Lewinn had a cold demeanor similar to Joshua, he treated her with the gentleness of an older brother. He did not talk much, but whenever he was at home, he would try to wait for her in the morning to leave together before driving her to the front door of Harper's house.
At first, Celine was a bit shy. However, after spending more than a month together, she had become much more familiar with Lewinn.
Seeing Lewinn shake his head, she pursed her lips. “Thank you, Mrs. Lewis.”
She decided to go shopping the next day and buy a gift for Katherine and everyone else!
Stroking Celine's smooth, long hair, Katherine brought a bag out. “Going shopping wouldn't be complete without a little dress, right? I bought this while shopping with Mrs. Xenos yesterday. Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, we can return it, and you can buy another one with your classmates tomorrow. If you do like it, you can wear it while shopping with your classmates tomorrow!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Celine looked at Katherine and felt a warm sensation in her heart.
Throughout her life, aside from her grandmother, no one had ever treated her this well.
Unfortunately, the only person who was ever kind to her, her grandmother, left her at an early age.
Celine took the bag. “I like everything you've bought.”
“Wow! Cece really has a way with words!”
Katherine liked Celine and also felt sorry for her past experiences.
“I'm going to try on the dress.”
“Alright! Hurry up and put it on!”
There was a bathroom on the second floor, so Celine did not bother going back to her room and decided to try it out right there on the second floor.
The dress was clearly not cheap. Both the material and design were excellent.
Having been a superstar for so many years, Katherine's fashion sense was undoubtedly impeccable. The white dress, adorned with light yellow flowers, was both pure and a bit playful. It was perfectly suitable for someone of Celine's age.
Celine blushed a little as she stepped out. She was wearing such a beautiful dress for the first time.
“Wow, it's really beautiful!”
Katherine had always been good at giving compliments, especially when it came to Celine, who was genuinely attractive.
Although she still had baby fat on her face, it was as smooth as a polished egg that brimmed with collagen. The young girl possessed a unique delicacy and beauty that was all her own.
Katherine turned around, took out a small rubber band, and helped Celine tie her hair into a fishtail braid.
She could not help but touch Celine's face. “Our Celine is really good-looking!”
“Aunt Katherine, I've come to mooch off you ——”
Rowen had cycled all the way there. The weather was getting hot, and he was drenched in sweat. As he entered the door, he was still pulling at his clothes to cool off. Before he could finish his sentence, he looked up and saw a fair and beautiful girl standing right in front of him.
His impression of Celine was still stuck in the time when she first arrived at school, with her thick, straight-cut bangs and shoulder-length hair.
However, the Celine before his eyes was different. Her bangs, which had grown long at some point, were swept to the sides like two little hooks. Her long hair was tied up, revealing a clean and beautiful face. She was dressed in a white dress that cinched at the waist. Coincidentally, she looked over at him. Without her bangs obscuring her face, Rowen discovered that Celine's eyes seemed to be able to
speak.
He paused for a brief moment and quickly averted his gaze before walking nonchalantly over to the couch. “Aunt Katherine, my parents have gone out to have fun again.”
Katherine had known for a while. “Your mom told me to let you stay at my place!”
Katherine was basking in the joy of having a daughter. Celine was wearing the dress she bought and looked absolutely beautiful. Katherine wished she could show her off to the entire world.
Upon seeing Rowen, Katherine pulled Celine over. “Rowie, don't you think Celine looks very beautiful?”
Celine flushed intensely when she was being pulled by Katherine.
She pursed her lips and looked at Rowen on the couch with a hint of anticipation in her bright, round eyes.
Rowen looked up, and his gaze met those round eyes again. His heart inexplicably quickened. He hummed in acknowledgment, “Mm-hmm.”
Katherine was not paying much attention to all that. She pulled Celine over and then tossed her phone to Lewinn who was standing by. “Quick! Take a picture of Celine and me. I want to post it on Twitter!”
With a gentle smile, Lewinn took the phone and snapped a few photos of Katherine and Celine.
Lewinn's photography skills were honed by Katherine from a young age, so naturally, the photos turned out to be beautiful. Katherine immediately posted them on Twitter, captioning, I have a little fairy!
Celine's face flushed even more when she found out about Katherine's Twitter post.
She pursed her lips and noticed that Rowen on the couch seemed to be looking at her.
Celine blinked and looked over.
The young boy suddenly stiffened, then turned his head and called out, “Lewinn!”
“What's wrong?”
Lewinn looked down.
Rowen shook his head, then made an excuse to go upstairs and return to his room.
