Chapter 662 It Is Not Your Fault

The restroom wasn't crowded. Celine washed her face inside, and retied her hair. After that, she went out to look for Rowen.

After coming out of the restroom, Celine knew she had completely calmed down.

Just the thought of Harper seeing those photos in Sasha's phone made her feel incredibly upset and confused.

“I'm fine now. Thank you.”

Rowen, who was looking at his phone, glanced up at her. His gaze fell on Celine's face with his captivating eyes slightly lifted. “Shall we go back?”

Upon hearing his words, Celine was momentarily taken aback. Once she regained her composure, she quickly waved her hands. “I'm fine, really. You can carry on with your plan.”

Rowen slightly furrowed his brows. “Do you still want to continue shopping with Harper in this state?”

Naturally, Celine didn't want to continue shopping with Harper. She just wanted some time alone to clear her mind.

Ever since she was adopted by the Lewis family, her life over the past month and a half had been so peaceful and fulfilling. It was as if those nightmarish past experiences truly had nothing to do with her anymore.

Yet, today she ran into Sasha again. The words she said, the photos she showed her, reminded her of just how painful and unbearable her past was time and again.

Celine glanced at him. “No, I just want some time alone to think.”

Rowen has never been one to meddle in others' affairs. “Suit yourself.”

“Thank you.”

Celine let out a sigh of relief, pursed her lips, and her grip on the straps of her backpack clenched and tightened.

She took one last look at Rowen, then turned and left the mall.

She didn't even know where she was going as this was her first time coming here.

Rowen watched as the figure in the white dress went further and further away. Suddenly, the image of a girl being dragged across the street with her eyes filled with despair and emptiness, flashed through his mind.

He was inexplicably irritated, and with a lift of his leg, he chased after her.

Right after Celine left the mall, she felt the bag on her back suddenly tightened. She was jerked back, causing her relaxed face to instantly pale a bit from the shock.

“This area is all commercial streets. There's no place for you to be alone and find some peace.”

Upon hearing Rowen's voice, Celine's tense heart relaxed. She thought she had run into Sasha and Shirley again.

Celine adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder as looked at Rowen, and hesitated for a moment. “There seems to be a park nearby.”

“The park is always crowded on weekends.”

Rowen glanced down at her. Without waiting for her to speak again, he reached out and grabbed the strap of her backpack. “Let's go.”

The restroom wosn't crowded. Celine woshed her foce inside, ond retied her hoir. After thot, she went out to look for Rowen.
