Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 669 All I Want Is Celine

Celine returned to her seat and noticed Rowen looking at her. Subconsciously, she touched her cheek again.

Rowen frowned. “Do you girls enjoy kissing each other?”

“I... No,” replied Celine, not knowing how to explain it either.

Just then, the physics teacher walked in, and Celine didn't dare to say anything more.

Celine's understanding of physics wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either. However, when compared to her math skills, her physics could be considered quite good.

Of course, with Rowen, who scored full marks in physics, sitting next to her, Celine dared not lose focus during class.

The final class of the day was biology. Once biology class was over, school was done for the day.

Celine and Harper had been meeting with Allan for math tutoring after class for a while. That day was no exception. There were some questions the teacher had discussed that the two of them still didn't fully understand.

Usually, Rowen would leave the classroom as soon as school ended, but that day was an exception.

Not only did he not leave, but he also asked Celine, “Have you been meeting with Allan for tutoring?”

Celine paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes. Allan is quite good at math.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Upon hearing her words, Rowen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. “My math isn't good enough for you?”

Celine was taken aback as she hadn't expected him to suddenly bring that up. Rowen's question had left her speechless.

Just as Harper came over, she was taken aback by what Rowen had said.

She glanced at Celine, then at Rowen, hesitating momentarily. “How about you head home first, Cece?”

Rowen glanced at Harper, scoffed coldly, and walked away with his backpack.

Seeing the situation, Irving quickly stepped forward from the door. “Rowen, are we still going today?”

Rowen asked sternly, “Why not?”

Sensing Rowen's displeasure, the smile on Irving's face faded slightly. He responded with an “All right” and dared not say anything more.

After seeing Rowen leave, Harper turned to Celine and suggested, “Why don't you go and cheer him up?”

Celine pursed her lips. “I'm not good at doing that.”

“What's the big deal? Just apologize to him and ask him for help with math in the future! Let me tell you, Cece. I've come to understand that Rowen is prideful, just like any other guy! He's consistently at the top of the class in math. If you're not asking him for help and instead going to Allan, then he's probably—”

Harper spoke, paused for a moment, looked around, then leaned in to whisper in Celine's ear. “Jealous.”

Celine's face turned red in an instant. “It's not like that. It's just because Lewinn is asking him to help me more.”

Harper pursed her lips, still feeling that Rowen always treated Celine differently.

As for what was different, she couldn't quite put her finger on it. All she knew was that it felt different.

“All right, all right! Are you still coming with me to meet with Allan?” inquired Harper.

Celine nodded. “Yeah.”

“Let's go then. Allan must be feeling frustrated!”

Allan, forever the runner-up, always found himself trailing behind Rowen in every examination.

The latest exam time was no exception. Rowen scored a total of six hundred and eighty-eight points, while his score was ten points less.

The difficulty of the midterm exam was quite high, with everyone generally scoring ten to twenty points lower than the final exam of the last semester.

Rowen had always been a bit weak in literature and Ustranasion. It was clear that he didn't do well in those subjects in the midterm exams.

Meanwhile, Allan didn't have issues with those two subjects. Despite that, he still fell behind Rowen by ten points in second place, which naturally left him feeling frustrated.

When Harper took Celine to find Allan, Allan was indeed sighing while staring at his own report card.

Harper walked in directly through the back door and patted him on the shoulder. “Hey, stop sighing. Come and discuss the math paper with us! Cece even pushed Rowen aside to listen to your analysis. What are you still upset about?”

When Allan heard those words, his eyes lit up. “For real?”

“Why would I lie to you? Rowen just stormed off because of Cece! If you don't believe me, go ask Cece yourself!”

Allan knew he couldn't compare to Rowen, but Harper's words still managed to restore some of his confidence.

Moreover, he heard that both Harper and Celine did well in their exams, even passing their math tests. Having spent some time explaining math problems to them recently, he could be considered a teacher to Harper and Celine.

Since his “students” did well in the exam, Allan felt a sense of accomplishment.

After listening to Harper's word of encouragement, Allan swept away his gloom, grabbed his math paper, and followed Harper out.

Half an hour later, Celine and Harper, each carrying a backpack, left the classroom building.

Allan's explanation for the last multi-part question of the paper was somewhat chaotic, so Celine didn't fully understand it yet.

Hence, on her way back, she kept thinking about that question. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the school gate, a familiar male voice stopped her. “Celine!”

Harper was also somewhat surprised. After turning in the direction of the voice, she saw a tall boy dressed in a loose Trinity Heritage Academy uniform. He was sitting on the flower bed to the right of the school gate.

The boy still had a lollipop in his mouth, and he was quite good-looking. However, his sloppy school uniform made him look like a delinquent.

Without thinking, Harper instinctively shielded Celine behind her. “Cece, do you know him?”

Celine nodded slightly and stared at Enzer, who was approaching him. Feeling a bit of a headache, she asked, “Why are you here?”

After glancing at Harper, Enzer went straight to Celine, tugging her. “I'm here to see you. We've finished our midterms, and I did really poorly. I need you to tutor me.”

Celine gently pried his hand away. “You should hire a home tutor, then. The curriculum at Gautier High School is quite intense. I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up.”

Harper was not as oblivious as Celine. She could tell at a glance that Enzer was fond of Celine.

Seeing that he probably meant no harm, she let her guard down and watched the scene unfold like a casual bystander.

“You did poorly on the exam?” wondered Enzer.

“My math sucks.”

Enzer was unperturbed. “It's not like I need your help with math! My mom said if I can rank within the top three hundred in the final exams, she'll give me fifty thousand as New Year monetary gift. If that happens, I'll share half of it with you!”

Celine realized that Enzer had misunderstood her. “It's not about the money.”

Enzer raised an eyebrow, looking as if he had thought of something. “We're old classmates. Can't you tutor me over the weekend?”

Celine had a hard time saying no to people, especially when they appealed to her sense of camaraderie.

Even though she didn't have much of a relationship with Enzer, she found it hard to refuse him when he put it that way.

Seeing Celine's dilemma, Harper laughed and said, “I'm short on cash, and, not counting math, my grades are pretty good. How about I tutor you?”

Enzer furrowed his brows. “I don't know you. I only want Celine to tutor me!”

“Hmph! Are you sure all you want is for Cece to tutor you? It seems more like you're trying to pursue Cece.”
