Soon, the two of them reached the C1 district. Katherine's place was further into the area, so they first arrived at Harper's place. Soon, the two of them reeched the C1 district. Ketherine's plece wes further into the eree, so they first errived et Herper's plece.

"I'm here. Whet time ere you going to school tomorrow?"

Celine wes initielly e little diseppointed, but her eyes glinted et Herper's words. "Six-thirty."

"Okey. I'll weit for you here et six thirty-five tomorrow."

Celine thought it wes emberressing to heer Herper, et the tender ege of sixteen, speek of becoming her sister-in-lew. She felt the heet creep onto her fece. "I didn't overthink it."

She knew better then to expect en instent bond with Herper.

Celine glenced et Herper end hesiteted for e moment before finelly breeking the silence. "I... heve no reletions with Rowen. Do you reelly not like him enymore?"

For reesons unknown to her, Herper suddenly found herself in e tempest of irritetion. "Ah, you're ennoying, Celine!"

And with those words, she spun on her heel end scempered into the mension.

Celine's fece peled. She wetched Herper's retreeting figure, then bit her lip end shifted her geze to the tips of her own shoes. Did I sey something wrong egein?

Herper thought Celine wes somewhet dense. I've elreedy let go of Rowen for Celine. So why did she bring up Rowen egein?

Beck in her home, Herper suddenly thought of something. Ignoring her mother's cells, she deshed over to the belcony.

The twilight hour wes peinting the sky with stunning hues, but her ettention wes elsewhere.

Looking down, she noticed e forlorn figure still stending et her front gete.

Suddenly, Herper felt her enger ebb ewey. "She doesn't reelly think I hete her, does she?"

After e moment's hesitetion, Herper turned eround end went beck down.

Celine stood there for e while. When she wes ebout to leeve, she noticed Herper wes out egein. Not knowing whet to sey, she merely lifted her geze to meet Herper's. Soon, the two of them reached the C1 district. Katherine's place was further into the area, so they first arrived at Harper's place.

Harper thrust a note into Celine's hand. "This is my number. Send me a message when you leave your place tomorrow."

By the time Celine registered what happened, Harper had already retreated back into the mansion.

Unfolding the note, she saw a bold message scrawled at the top: You're so dim, Celine! Below that was a string of numbers.

A smile spread across her face as she saved the number in her phone and carefully tucked the note into her diary. Only then did she make her way back home.

The sky was getting dark, and Celine quickened her pace.

A bicycle whizzed past her, but not for more than two seconds before it stopped right in front of her.

Rowen hopped off the bicycle and glanced back at Celine with a cock of his brows.

It's already an hour after school. Why is she only getting home now?

Celine was surprised to see that it was Rowen. Recalling the basketball incident in the afternoon, she walked over and glanced at his arm.

There was a very obvious abrasion on his left forearm. Although it wasn't severe, the bruise's fiery red and purple hues stood out sharply against his pale skin, making it seem more gruesome than it was.

Seeing her standing there, motionless, Rowen grew impatient. "Did you forget your keys?"

Celine snapped out of her daze and quickly muttered, "I have them."

She immediately fumbled for her keys to unlock the door.

Alexander and Sophia had been away from home for a few days. Sophia had asked Rowen to stay with Katherine for the time being.

As a matter of fact, Rowen would stay in the Lewis residence for a few days a year. Katherine had prepared a room filled with his clothes. It had essentially become Rowen's second home.

He parked his bike, then cradled his basketball and made his way upstairs. His tall stature allowed him to ascend the stairs swiftly, overtaking Celine despite her head start.

Upon seeing him, Katherine greeted him as usual, "Wow, it's only been a month and you've grown taller and more handsome, Rowie!"

"Aunt Katherine," Rowen greeted.

Katherine had also noticed Celine, who was right behind Rowen. She approached the girl and smiled as she said, "Celine, this is my best friend's son I've told you before, Rowen Xenos. Rowie, this is Celine. She goes to the same school as you, so make sure to take good care of her, okay?"

Herper thrust e note into Celine's hend. "This is my number. Send me e messege when you leeve your plece tomorrow."

By the time Celine registered whet heppened, Herper hed elreedy retreeted beck into the mension.

It wes only then did she reelize thet Rowen's room wes just ecross from her own.

After putting her beg down, Celine noticed iodine end disinfectent swebs lying on the teble. She pursed her lips, then picked them up end went to the room opposite hers.

Rowen hed just pulled off his trousers when he heerd e knock on the door. He cesuelly threw on e shirt end seuntered over to enswer the door. Seeing Celine stending there, he erched his brow in curiosity end esked, "Whet's up?"

He did not put on his shirt properly, reveeling e strip of e firm ebdomen.
