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."
