Chapter 666 No One Has Confessed To Me

Rowen observed Celine, who was on the brink of tears, and his frown deepened. “Don't cry, I won't report you to Aunt Katherine.”

Celine blinked at his words. “Really?”

As she spoke, a tear escaped the corner of her eye and traced a path down her cheek.

Feeling embarrassed, she quickly lifted her hand to brush the tear away. “I'm not crying,” she asserted. “Really.”

Rowen studied her for a moment, concerned that she might actually burst into tears soon. “You should get back to studying.”

Celine picked up her textbook, cast a quick glance at Rowen, and pursed her lips. “I truly didn't cry.”

With that statement, she hurried back to her room, clutching her textbook.

An amused glint danced in Rowen's dark eyes as he watched Celine disappear into her room.

Tsk, such a crybaby.

That evening, Harper called Celine.

She avoided mentioning the events of the afternoon, instead focusing on the photos they had taken and discussing their expressions in each one.

The conversation continued for over an hour. As Harper's phone battery started to dwindle, she cautiously said, “Cece, don't worry, they won't dare to mess with you again.”

Celine's eyes welled up upon hearing her words. “Yeah.”

Her voice quivered as she replied.

Not wanting to make things harder for her, Harper didn't press on. “My phone is about to die, I have to hang up now. See you on Monday!”

Harper was planning to visit her grandmother the following day. Otherwise, they might have made plans to meet up.

“Sure thing.” Celine's soft response came before she ended the call. She gazed at her phone, her lip caught between her teeth as she fought back tears.
