Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Harper directly revealed Enzer's true intentions, which immediately infuriated him. “What nonsense are you talking about?” he snapped.

“She used to tutor me. Stop talking nonsense if you know nothing!”

Celine stood at the side as her face flushed crimson. “Harper, we're not what you think we are.”

Harper glanced sideways at Celine and curled her lips in disdain when she noticed the latter's discomfort. “We're in Grade Twelfth soon. No one has time to tutor you.”

“Enzer, I really can't tutor you anymore.”

Enzer snorted coldly in response. “Whatever.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Celine. “Did you run into Sasha and her friends on Saturday?”

Upon hearing his words, Celine's face turned slightly pale. Noticing Celine's expression, Harper immediately knew who Sasha, the person Enzer mentioned, was.

“Are you on their side?”

“What do you mean?”

Enzer was unaware that Celine got bullied by Sasha and her group. He and Sasha had been classmates in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Today, Sasha and her group told him that Celine had changed. She was nothing like the person she was before.

Enzer felt uncomfortable hearing that, so he directly confronted Sasha. After Sasha said something harsh, he rushed to find Celine after school.

The distance between Gautier High School and Trinity Heritage Academy was about seven or eight kilometers. It would take him half an hour to get here by taxi. If it weren't for the harsh words from Sasha and her group, he wouldn't have bothered to come.

Celine didn't want to hear those people's names anymore. Before Harper could speak, she said, “I can't tutor you anymore. You should hire a home tutor. It's getting late, and I still have unfinished homework. I need to go home.”

With that, she turned to Harper. “Harper, let's go.”

Harper glanced at Celine. She noticed the latter's melancholy and chose not to say anything. When she looked up, she saw their bus approaching. “The bus is here! Hurry up, Cece!”

“Celine, I still have something to say—”

Enzer chased behind the two, but the bus stop was right next to them. Celine quickly pulled Harper and ran to board the bus. All Enzer could do was watch the slowly departing bus and curse under his breath.

The bus was packed with people. However, Celine and Harper knew just the right thing to do. After boarding, they squeezed their way toward the back of the bus, only stopping once they found some space.

The two of them stood by the rear door. Harper turned, and through the window, she saw Enzer still standing at the bus stop.

She clicked her tongue and gently tugged at Celine's hand. “Cece, that guy likes you, doesn't he?”

After Celine heard that, she quickly shook her head. “No, he doesn't.”

“No way, I must be right! You've transferred for almost two months now. If he doesn't like you, why would he come all this way to find you? You don't seriously think he came to ask you to tutor him, do you?”

Harper had already used this little trick on Rowen in junior high school.

However, Rowen wasn't as naive as Celine. Thus, he didn't fall for her trick.

Celine pursed her lips. “I've tutored him before.”

Harper was skeptical. “So what? It's just an excuse. He is asking you to tutor him, so he can easily ask you out on the weekend. Cece, don't be silly. Do you think a boy his age will want to study and ask a girl his age to tutor him? Wouldn't it be better for him to find a professional tutor?”

Her words might be frank, but they made sense. However, thinking about past events at Trinity Heritage Academy, Celine pursed her lips and said, “That can't be. He treats me poorly.”

Enzer came from an affluent family, and nobody at school dared to cross him lightly. He had a bad temper. Celine used to sit in front of him in class. Back then, he would always ask her to run errands for him, be it to fetch water or something else. Besides, he would always pull her hair during class. During physical education class, he enjoyed throwing the ball near her, making her pick it up.

Celine didn't think that Enzer liked her. She figured he probably felt he had lost someone he could freely boss around at school since she had transferred schools.

The vehicle was crowded, so Harper lowered her head to lean on Celine's shoulder. “What did he do? Did he make you run errands for him? Did he order you around for every little thing?”

Hearing Harper's words, Celine opened her round eyes in disbelief. “H-How did you know that?”

“Hah! Teenage boys tend to be immature and act childishly! Ten out of ten boys will do such things to attract their crush's attention. You're too naive, Cece!”

Celine was taken aback. She wasn't naive but was used to being disliked by others.

Noticing her silence, Harper quickly lowered her head. “What's the matter, Cece? Do you dislike me talking about these things?”

“No, that's not it.”

She was just another girl with her fair share of worries and longed for friends to share them with.
