Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 683 Tell People You Are My Girlfriend

Irving was not wrong, but Celine, being easily embarrassed, blushed as soon as she heard him.

Harper rolled her eyes. “We're not giving it to you. What are you so excited about?”

Rowen noticed the blush creeping up Celine's ears. Raising an eyebrow, he pulled Irving aside. “Have you finished memorizing your vocab?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Though Irving dared to tell Harper off, he did not dare to utter a word when Rowen did the same.

Moreover, Rowen's question found its mark. Reminded of his unfinished task, Irving lost his appetite for gossip.

I have to memorize it all by today, so I'd better hurry up and get it down, or I'll have to write it out fifty times if I get picked!

Celine stood up to offer Rowen her seat. Her cheeks were still flushed at the recollection of Irving's words.

Irving was right. As Rowen was specifically tutoring her in math, he had become her teacher in a manner of speaking. Though she also helped him memorize Ustranasion words, Celine could tell that Rowen could do it himself just by scanning through the material.

Pursing her lips, she began pondering what to buy Rowen as a gift.

Celine was so deep in thought that she did not even notice Rowen calling her name twice.

Having finally grown impatient, Rowen tapped the back of her hand that was holding the book with his pen, and Celine gave a start. “Rowie?”

“What are you thinking about? I've called you twice already.”

Celine looked puzzled. “What's wrong, Rowie?”

“Hannah asked me what you would like for dinner tonight.”

Hannah was the maid employed in the Lewis residence. As Rowen often stayed over, Hannah had his contact information.

Celine blinked. “I'm fine with anything.”

Rowen held his phone. “Should I tell Hannah that, then?”

Celine blushed, realizing that it was not very polite. “I would like fish for dinner.”

Rowen shot her a glance. “What fish?”

“Any kind will do.”

It was only after she spoke that Celine realized that she might have given another less-than- satisfactory answer.

This time, however, Rowen did not press her. “Is there anything else you'd like besides fish?” he asked.

Celine shook her head, and Rowen did not ask again. He lowered his head to type a reply to Hannah.

The mid-term exams have come and gone. After reviewing the papers for each subject, it was time to dive back into the intense and fast-paced curriculum.

Several new topics were covered in different subjects that day, and the students were assigned plenty of homework.

Celine had always been good at managing her time. Before the end of the school day, she took advantage of the breaks between classes and her time after meals to finish her homework on several subjects. Thus, only math, chemistry, and physics remained.

Harper returned from the restroom just as Celine finished packing her bag.

As soon as the teacher announced the end of class, Rowen left.

He was always the first to leave after school, a habit that Class Seven had long grown accustomed to. Celine, having shared a desk with him for over two months, had also gotten used to it.

As she was on her period, Harper was feeling listless. She picked up her backpack, took Celine's hand, and leaned heavily against her friend. “My belly hurts, Celine.”

“Would you like some hot water?”

Harper shook her head. Despite feeling weak, she was strongly opposed to the idea. “It's such a hot day. I can't bear hot water.”

Having no other choice, Celine reluctantly stowed her thermos back into her bag and accompanied her friend downstairs.

No sooner had the two stepped out of the school gate than they ran into Enzer. Harper did not have a good impression of him, and seeing him coming to harass Celine again put her on the defensive. “What's he here for this time?”

Celine was not sure why Enzer had shown up again; he had always enjoyed causing her trouble.

“Why aren't you replying to my messages, Celine?”

Celine did not remember that she had blocked him. “I didn't receive any messages from you.”

“Impossible!”

Enzer clearly did not believe her. “Let me see your phone.”

He was certain that Celine had blocked him.

Celine suddenly remembered. Enzer was messaging her while she was doing her homework a few nights ago, asking her to log in and double queue with him.

Celine told him she had to study, yet he still asked her every half an hour.

She was studying vocabulary with Rowen that Thursday night. “Who is it?” he had asked when he saw her phone light up.

Without thinking much about it then, Celine told him it was an old classmate without taking out her phone. However, Enzer sent her another message while she was working on her math problems.

This time, Rowen took her phone and asked if she was close to Enzer. Celine shook her head, and he blocked Enzer.

As Celine did not receive any messages from Enzer over the past few days, it felt so peaceful that she did not bother unblocking Enzer.

Moreover, she was not close to him to begin with. Now that she had transferred schools, she did not see him as much anymore. Thus, it did not matter if his number remained blocked.

Celine did not expect that he would come and see her.

Thus, she was a little uneasy. “I didn't bring my phone to school.”

Harper was about to speak, but she suddenly remembered something, “Who do you think you are, anyway? Why should she show you her phone just because you asked her to?”

Enzer frowned. He knew Celine was honest, and he did not press her when she said she did not bring her phone.

He moistened his lips. “It's my birthday this weekend. I'm throwing a party at Silvercrest Lounge, Suite 286. I expect to see you there.”

Celine's expression stiffened. “I-I'm not free this weekend.”

She did not want to go. As Sasha and her friends were close to Enzer, they would undoubtedly be there at his birthday party.

“If you won't, I'll show up at your school every day and tell everyone you're my girlfriend. Think it through!”

Without giving Celine a chance to respond, Enzer turned around to leave.

“Cece won't go,” Harper said fiercely. “If you dare show yourself, I'll have the school security guards beat you up!”

Enzer turned to glance at Celine. He got the sense that she did not want to see him anymore after her transfer.

That thought upset him. He kicked a nearby lamppost in frustration.

“What kind of a psycho is he? Don't be scared, Cece. We won't go!”

Celine pursed her lips. “Mmm,” she said softly.

Harper grew worried when she noticed Celine's pallor. “Are you worried that he might bully you, Cece?” she asked cautiously.

Celine looked at Harper and shook her head. “No.”

“Don't be afraid. Rowen will be the first to cut him down if he dares do anything!”

“Mmm.”

Celine forced a smile, but her spirits were greatly dampened by Enzer's appearance.

Harper got the feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. It was only when that boy mentioned the birthday party that Celine's expression shifted.

If there was one thing Harper was good at, it was reading the room.

She spent the rest of the journey pondering over it. After getting off the bus, she turned to Celine again. “Were those two girls from the other day acquainted with that classmate of yours, Cece?” she asked.
