Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 641 One More Round

Celine’s actions had not only scared the living daylights out of the bullies but also shocked Rowen and Irving, who were watching from the side.

Irving was so taken aback that he couldn’t speak. Rowen, on the other hand, simply stared at the girl with his mouth wide open.

Celine put Sasha Zahniser down after holding her up in the air for about two seconds. Her knees were hurting badly from the fall, and she wouldn’t have picked Sasha up if they hadn’t gone too far with their bullying.

Sasha was so terrified that she quickly backed away after Celine put her down, prompting the other girls to do the same.

As Celine stood up straight while holding on to the fence, she felt someone staring at her and instinctively turned her head.

She saw two boys dressed in basketball attire staring at her from the walkway nearby. One of them had shock written all over his face.

Celine was surprised when she saw Rowen’s face. It was her first time seeing a boy that beautiful.

If not for Rowen’s short hairstyle, Celine would have easily mistaken him for a girl.

Realizing that they had witnessed her display of strength, Celine blushed and lowered her head to avoid their gaze. She then dusted her knees off and limped away as quickly as she could.

She had come to collect the pay for her part-time job and happened to run into Sasha and the other girls.

“Did I see that right, Rowen?”

Rowen calmly retracted his gaze after Celine had disappeared from sight. “No.”

Obviously, Irving knew that Rowen was joking when he said that. “That girl was amazing! I can’t believe she just picked someone up like that!” he exclaimed while running after Rowen.

Annoyed by how noisy he was, Rowen snapped at him impatiently, “Shut up!”

Irving made a zipping motion with his fingers when he saw the frown on Rowen’s face.

It wasn’t until they had stepped out of the front gate that Irving remembered the money he had collected and whipped it out of his pocket. He took three hundred for himself and handed the remaining amount to Rowen.

Since Irving was merely there to make up for the number of people, he was happy with getting three hundred out of it. “Here you go, Rowen. The winnings from today’s match.”

Rowen took the money and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking. He walked up to his bicycle, hung the basketball on the side, and hopped on. “I’ll be heading home now.”

“See you tomorrow, Rowen!”

Rowen ignored him and cycled even faster. Just like that, he sped through the streets and arrived home in less than twenty minutes.

Sophia had just finished preparing lunch when she saw Rowen come in through the front door. “Welcome home, Rowen!”

Rowen glanced at her and nodded before asking, “Where’s Dad, Mom?”

He would often see the two of them acting all lovey-dovey with each other whenever he came home. He was a little surprised to see Sophia being home alone that day.

“Something happened to your uncle Samuel, so he went to the hospital a while ago,” Sophia replied while taking her jacket off.

Samuel had a hot temper despite being rather old. When Jovanni Schild got into a fight at school, both of their parents were summoned to resolve the issue. Samuel ended up getting into a fight with the boy’s parents after heading over.

Apparently, Jovanni’s classmate had badmouthed Samantha by implying that she got herself pregnant to marry into a wealthy family. Of course, that did not sit well with Jovanni at all. In a fit of anger, he picked up a book and bashed the student in the mouth.

Sophia wasn’t entirely sure about the exact details of what happened. All she knew was that Samuel had sprained his hip after fighting the student’s parents, and Alexander had rushed over to the school after getting a call about it.

“Is Uncle Samuel okay?” Rowen asked while retrieving a bottle of soda from the refrigerator.

“He should be fine,” Sophia replied while flashing Rowen a half smile.

Rowen was halfway through opening the bottle of soda when he noticed her staring at it. After a brief pause, he put the soda back into the refrigerator.

Sophia retracted her gaze and continued, “Your dad made you some soup. Would you like a bowl of it?”

“Okay.”

Although Rowen was usually quite fearless, he was very afraid of Sophia.

Of course, it wasn’t because Sophia had a nasty temper or anything. Whenever he made Sophia upset, Alexander would come out of his study with a belt in his hand.

A boy like Rowen could take a little beating without a problem, but Alexander had never hit him with the belt. Instead, he would tie Rowen’s hands with it and hang him from the tree in the courtyard.

It wasn’t really all that painful for Rowen. In fact, he found that punishment was rather easy to withstand. After growing up, however, Rowen learned to fear the humiliation that he would suffer if his friends saw him in that state.

Despite his delinquent-like behavior at school, Rowen was extremely obedient at home. He would go straight to his room and do his homework after lunch, and his grades had always made it into the top three in his academic year.

That was probably why the teachers at school didn’t bother to reprimand him for his nonchalant behavior. He would repeat his wrongdoings even if they summoned his parents, so there was no point in doing so. Besides, his behavior did not affect his grades at all, so they decided to just leave him be.

Sophia knew about Rowen’s behavior at school, but she couldn’t really lecture him because of how obedient he was at home.
