Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 654 Cotton Candy

“Harper--” Celine only had time to call out to Harper before she was pulled outside and started running.

Though Harper seemed delicate, she was surprisingly swift when she ran. Celine found herself quickly left behind as Harper darted out of their classroom, heading towards Class One.

Upon reaching Grade Eleven Class One, Harper finally let go of Celine, peeking into the classroom. Soon, she spotted Allan.

Harper was beautiful and became famous as soon as she started high school. At that moment, she brought along Celine, who was also quite attractive. Seeing two beautiful girls near their class, many of the boys from Class One were getting somewhat excited.

School time was, but Class One was an advanced class. Therefore, they were still many students in the class. Everyone voluntarily stayed in the class to study for another half an hour before going to eat and take a bath. After that, they would return for an evening self-study session.

A girl from Class One just happened to walk out of the classroom. Harper approached her directly. “Excuse me, could you please call Allan for me?”

The girl glanced at Harper, her expression somewhat strange, as if lost in thought.

She glanced at Celine, who was standing next to Harper. Her gaze fell on Celine's face, and a hint of astonishment flashed in the girl's eyes.

Harper knew that Celine was timid. Seeing the girl looking at Celine, Harper couldn't help but call out again. “Hello? Are you there?”

The girl only then withdrew her gaze, turned around, and returned to the classroom. She approached Allan's desk and tapped on it. “Allan, there are two girls looking for you outside.”

The girl's voice was neither loud nor soft, but the classroom was quiet then. Additionally, Harper and her friend standing outside had already attracted the attention of many students. As soon as the Class One girl spoke, a few bold boys in the class started teasing Allan. “That's Harper, belle of Class Seven, Allan. I wonder if she has given up on Rowen to pursue you instead.”

Allan glanced sideways at Harper, who was standing by the window with a faint blush on her delicate cheeks.

“Don't talk nonsense.” As he spoke, he put down the pen he was holding, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stood up to leave the room.

Upon leaving the classroom, Allan realized that a girl was standing next to Harper, one he had never seen before.


He only glanced at the other person before shifting his gaze back to Harper. “You were looking for me?”

Harper nodded, pulling Celine, who was standing next to her, closer. “This is Celine, a new transfer student in our class. There were a few math problems today that we didn't understand in class. Could you explain them to us?”

Harper and Allan both attended the same junior high school. Allan was always an awesome straight-A student, but they were never in the same class. They only got to know each other during an Ustranasion speech competition.

Harper's math skills were poor, so she sought Allan for tutoring before the high school entrance exam. However, due to Isobel's loose lips, who told the head counselor they were in a relationship, they stopped contacting each other privately. Harper was afraid of causing trouble for Allan.

Upon hearing Harper's words, Allan nodded and greeted Celine. “Hello, Celine. My name is Allan.”

Celine looked at the handsome boy in front of her, nodding awkwardly. “N-Nice to meet you, Allan.”

“Should I come to your class to help you both?”

It was what Harper wanted, but knowing Celine's sensitive nature, she chose to explain things in the hallway. The passing students made Celine feel embarrassed.

“Sure. Most of our classmates have probably left by now,” said Harper.

“All right, you two go ahead. I'll grab my things and join you two in two minutes.” Allan nodded.

“Okay.”

Harper yawned, then turned to Celine and said, “Let's go back first. He will come over and explain stuff to us later.”

Celine nodded. “All right.”

The two returned to Grade Eleven Class Seven. Apart from a few students who were cleaning, almost everyone else had left.

Celine was tidying up her backpack when Allan came over, even before she had finished.

Allan was well-known in his year, consistently ranking among the top ten students in every grade. Everyone recognized him. Hence, when the other students saw Allan, they were a bit surprised, but no one said anything.

Harper had already taken her seat in Rowen's spot with her school bag. Truth be told, sitting in the seat of a formidable figure made her feel a bit uneasy.

After sitting for a few seconds, Harper felt it wasn't quite right. “Celine, let's switch seats.”

She didn't want some gossipmonger snitching to Rowen and risking his wrath again.

Celine didn't overthink it, assuming that Harper simply didn't like her seat. Without hesitation, she stood up and swapped seats with her friend.

Allan was seated in front of them. Once they were settled, he smiled. “Which questions are we discussing?”

Harper looked at Celine. Celine's face turned slightly red as she took out her homework. “I don't quite understand this problem-solving method.”

Even at a glance, Allan could recognize the handwriting as belonging to Rowen. He was somewhat surprised, but he was not one to pry, so he didn't ask any questions. “Let me take a look first,” he said.

With a sense of gratitude, Celine handed over her homework. Allan looked at it for a while and quickly figured it out. “At which step did you start to get confused?”
