Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 656 She Is Not A Good Person

Chermond's words caused Celine to have dreams all night.

When her alarm clock went off the following day, she jolted awake and stared at the ceiling, unable to distinguish between dream and reality for a moment.

The alarm clock continued ringing insistently. Snapping back to reality, she quickly turned it off, patted her burning cheeks, then got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

She had woken up early that day, having made plans with Harper to get to school early and discuss the previous day's math homework.

Needless to say, no matter how many discussions they had, nothing would come of them with how poor they were at math. Hence, their early return to school was to look for Allan.

Celine was having such an early start to the day that Katherine was still not up when she went downstairs. As for Joshua, he had just returned with breakfast. Seeing her, he nodded in greeting. “Up so early?”

“I want to go back to school early to ask my classmates for help with some math problems,” she explained as she took the food he was holding.

Then, with a hint of embarrassment, she admitted, “I'm not very good at math.”

At that moment, Rowen happened to come downstairs while yawning. Joshua glanced at him before saying, “Rowie is good at math. You can ask him if there's anything you don't understand.”

She murmured an acknowledgment but did ask Rowen what he thought about that. I can tell he detests it when others bother him with such matters.

Unexpectedly, Rowen walked over and said, “You can ask me when we get back to school.”

She looked at him, momentarily taken aback, and it took her a while to respond. “Oh. Ah, okay.”

He glanced at her, thinking she was very slow-witted.

“Uncle Joshua, I'm off to school now!”

“Be careful.”

Before leaving, Rowen looked at Celine again. Suddenly, he recalled the question he had casually solved for her the previous afternoon. Could it be that she didn't understand it? Tsk! How can she be so stupid?

It was ten minutes past six when Celine finished her breakfast.

Lewinn did not come home last night as he had stayed at the school dormitory. Katherine was still asleep, Joshua had gone upstairs, and Rowen had already left for school. Hence, she was the only one at the dining table.
