Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 689 Does It Matter

After experiencing the joy of riding a bike the night before, Harper was suddenly struck by the idea of cycling to school.

As such, she ran up to Celine early in the morning, all eager and excited. “Cece, let's cycle to school from now on! I finally understand why Rowen is always riding his bike to school! It's so much fun!”

Celine blinked her eyes as she pondered the suggestion. Hmm... Our school is about six or seven kilometers away from our residences, which isn't very far. The time it takes to get there on our bikes would be almost the same as taking the bus. I can even pedal faster if I'm in a hurry. All in all, cycling does sound like a pretty good way to get to school. That said...

“Lewinn didn't come back last week, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are away on a business trip. I need to wait for them to return before I can buy a bike,” Celine explained.

Of course, she could also buy it herself if she wanted to. After all, she had enough money for it.

However, now that she had become part of the Lewis family, she knew it'd only be right to discuss such matters with Katherine and the others.

Harper, on the other hand, didn't see the issue with that. “What's the big deal, though? Lewinn's school is in Jadeborough, so it'd be convenient for him to return. If you text him about buying a bike, I'm sure he'll sort it out for you right away!”

Celine pursed her lips slightly. “Lewinn must be pretty busy. I think I should—”

“Oh, come on, Cece. He's your brother, for goodness' sake. Isn't it a brother's duty to show up like a knight in shining armor when his sister needs him the most? You being overly polite would only make Lewinn sad,” Harper interrupted.

She had some understanding of Celine's situation, so she knew what was bothering the latter. In fact, if she were in Celine's shoes, she doubted she'd fare any better.

However, Harper also remembered her mother saying that the Lewis family was a good bunch of people. Given that Celine was already fifteen when Katherine adopted her, it was clear she wasn't expecting the girl to repay the family's kindness in the future. Instead, it was very probable that they genuinely wanted to give Celine a better life.

Celine seemed a little hesitant as she looked at Harper. “Are you sure it won't be too much trouble for Lewinn?”

“Who knows? He might even be hoping that you'd ask him for help!” Harper exclaimed before nudging her friend's hand. “Hurry up and send the text. Otherwise, you won't be able to use your phone once we're in school.”

With her lips still pursed, Celine fished her phone out and slowly typed her text.

To her surprise, the text had only just been sent when Lewinn replied: Good morning, Celine! I won't be in Jadeborough for the next few days, but I'll let Rowie know about buying the bike. He'll settle it. Take good care of yourself.
