Chapter 658 Your Past Dirty Deeds
Chapter 658 Your Past Dirty Deeds
Celine knew she had arranged to go out with Harper at nine in the morning. It had been a long time since Celine had hung out with her friends. Ever since that incident, she felt as if she had become a monster. The only person who was still willing to be associated with her was Chermond. However, after high school, Chermond moved back home.
Celine put on the dress Katherine had given her yesterday. After a moment's hesitation, she tied her hair up into a bun, then took her bag and headed downstairs.
Early in the morning, Lewinn and the others were all eating breakfast at the dining table.
From afar, Katherine spotted Celine and began to compliment her, “Wow, whose little fairy is this?”
Celine's face instantly turned red. She glanced at Katherine and said, “Good morning, Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Lewis.”
“Good morning, Lewinn.”
When her gaze fell on Rowen, Celine hesitated for a moment, “Good morning, Rowie.”
Rowen felt a sudden tightness in his throat while eating his toast. He glanced at the girl sitting across from him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
What?
Is she serious? Rowie?
After greeting everyone, Celine took her seat and began to eat her porridge, her head bowed.
After finishing their porridge, Lewinn rode his bike to drop her off at Harper's house. On the way, Lewinn asked her, “Are you scared of Rowie?”
Celine realized she was in a tricky situation and said, “No, that's not it.”
She wasn't afraid of Rowen, it's just that she felt he didn't seem to like her, so she didn't want to be an eyesore to him.
Thankfully, she could change seats after the mid-term exams. If she did well, she could choose to sit with Harper.
Even if she didn't do well on the test, she wouldn't choose to sit with Rowen anymore.
Harper told Celine that Rowen never had a deskmate, so she was an exception. But Celine felt that she wasn't the exception, it was the Lewis family that was the exception.
If it weren't for Katherine, Rowen would have probably done as Harper previously suggested, confronting the teacher to request a change of seats.
Lewinn chuckled. “You don't need to be afraid of him. He's the type who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. There were too many girls chasing after him in the past, and he found it bothersome, which is why he seems so aloof.”
“Oh.”
Celine responded but didn't express any opinion.
Lewinn turned his head to glance at her. Seeing her obediently sitting in the back seat with her head down, he didn't say anything more.
It was a rare occasion that Harper was waiting at the front door early. From a distance, Celine could see Harper, who was also dressed in a skirt.
“Wow, Cece, you look so beautiful today. Why do you always let your hair down at school? It looks so much better tied up!”
Celine felt a bit embarrassed, she glanced at Lewinn and said, “Lewinn, you can go on with your work.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lewinn nodded. “Alright, call me if there's anything.”
“Sure, I will do that.”
“Have fun.”
“Okay.”
After bidding farewell to Lewinn, Celine turned around only to find Harper staring at her. She couldn't help but touch her face, asking, “Is there something on my face?”
Harper raised her hand and touched her cheek. “No, tsk, you're not wearing makeup, are you?”
Celine shook her head, “I don't know how to apply makeup.”
“Your skin is so beautiful. It's fair with a rosy glow.”
Celine, knowing she was always easily embarrassed, couldn't handle Harper's words. She quickly changed the subject. “Where are we going to hang out today?”
“Let's head over to Lovebirds Street. There are so many beautiful shops there. Come on, let's hurry. It gets really crowded on the weekends!”
Celine let out a sigh of relief, opening her umbrella as she responded, “Mm-hmm.”
Harper held Celine's arm and said, “I've always said that you're prettier than Leah. Later, I'll take more photos of you. When it's time to choose the campus belle in September, I'll post your pictures. You'll definitely outshine Leah.”
Upon hearing Harper's words, Celine's ears turned red instantly. “Leah is prettier than me.”
“Oh come on, there's no need to be modest about this. Rest assured, the public's judgment is always right! If I say you're beautiful, then you truly are beautiful!”
The two chatted, and before they knew it, the taxi had arrived.
The villa was quite a distance from Lovebirds Street. By the time Celine and Harper arrived there, it was already close to nine forty.
Harper was right, Lovebirds Street was much busier on weekends.
Couples from the nearby university flooded the place, and even high school students were out having fun on their weekend break.
For the first time, Celine came to this part of town, guided all the way by Harper.
Indeed, Lovebirds Street was filled with many interesting little shops. Celine picked out some beautiful trinkets, planning to take them back for Katherine and the others.
“Hey there, let's go. I'll take you to a fun place!”
Celine put down the small elephant in her hand. “What place is this?”
Celine spent the past sixteen years of her life in a small, impoverished county town. For her, everything about this big city, Jadeborough, was both new and fascinating.
“You'll find out soon enough!”
Harper kept Celine hanging, leading her as she was running while looking at her phone.
Upon arrival, Celine realized that it was a bestie photo studio where one could get instant pictures.
It was the weekend today, and there were plenty of girls coming to take bestie photos.
Harper squeezed through the crowd with Celine. She charmed a young lady into helping them with their makeup using sweet words.
Then, the two of them picked out a few outfits and entered a studio, which was no more than four or five square meters in size.
Inside, there were no outsiders. It was entirely DIY. The backdrop could be changed, and right in front was a screen, displaying how they looked facing the camera.
Celine had never done this before; hence, she found it novel and shy.
On the contrary, Harper quickly got the hang of it, she found an online picture and showed Celine how to pose.
The two of them emerged from the photo studio at exactly twelve-forty in the afternoon. Celine's stomach growled audibly, catching the attention of Harper who was engrossed in looking at the photos. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “You are hungry, aren't you?”
Celine was a little shy. “Hmm.”
No sooner had she responded, than Harper's stomach began to growl.
Harper also looked bewildered, “I'm hungry too!”
Harper took Celine to a popular restaurant. At that time, the place was very crowded, with more than a dozen people lined up at the door.
Harper's stomach growled embarrassingly again. She looked at Celine and suggested, “How about we go grab some snacks first?”
“Alright then.”
Celine was not picky about food, and she could eat anything.
The two hit it off instantly, leaving the popular restaurant to go buy some grilled sausages to eat.
Harper still wanted to drink bubble tea, so the two of them divided the tasks. Celine lined up for the grilled sausages, while Harper queued for the bubble tea.
“Celine?”
Upon hearing Sasha's voice, Celine was taken aback for a moment. She lifted her head, and sure enough, she saw Sasha standing next to her.
Celine looked up, and Sasha was able to see her clearly.
After getting a clear look at the person, Sasha's expression turned even more unpleasant.
In less than two months, Celine seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.
What she detested the most was Celine's face. If it weren't for that face, Enzer would never have fallen for her!
“Well, it really is you! I didn't expect that after a month and a half, you'd actually become a princess! I wonder if the people who adopted you know about your past dirty deeds!”
Upon hearing Sasha's words, Celine's face instantly turned pale.
