Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 686 Hurt Cece

Celine originally thought that Sasha and her group would definitely play some tricks. However, to her surprise, they agreed to delete the photos just after a few casual words from Harper.

She could hardly believe it. It took her a while before she reacted to Harper's call.

Their purpose for going there was to have Sasha and her group delete the photos. Since they had already reached an agreement, there was no need for them to stay any longer.

Celine received Harper's signal, got up, and walked over to Enzer, who was not far away. Then, she softly called out to him, “Enzer.”

Enzer, who was playing Liar's dice with his friends, looked up at Celine and asked, “What's up?”

As he spoke, he pulled Alvin to fill his spot. “Your turn to play.”

Seeing that Celine seemed to have something to say to him, Enzer suddenly became excited. He got up and walked to the corner with her. There was a mix of giddiness and arrogance in his demeanor. “What's up?” My birthday is a pretty good opportunity for her to confess to me. If she does, reluctantly consider it.

Just as Enzer thought that Celine was about to confess her feelings, pondering whether to reject or accept her, Celine looked at him. With an apologetic tone, she said, “Enzer, I have something to do later, so I'll leave first. Happy birthday to you, and have fun with your friends.”

Previously, Enzer requested Celine for too much. As a result, she became afraid that he would ask her to stay. Hence, without waiting for him to speak, Celine immediately turned around after she finished

speaking.

Enzer stood there, staring at Celine. He was momentarily stunned, but as soon as he snapped back to reality, he hurriedly chased after her.

Harper was already waiting at the door. After finishing speaking, Celine ran to the door.

Meanwhile, Enzer chased after Celine. With his tall stature and long legs, he easily caught up with her, grabbing her wrist in one swift motion.

That hurt her, causing her to inhale sharply.

Harper raised her hand to push away Enzer. “What are you doing? You're hurting Cece!”

Enzer loosened his grip. “Why are you leaving so soon? We haven't even cut the cake yet! Can't you stay and have some cake before you go?”

Before they arrived, Celine had already told Harper that Enzer would most likely not let them leave halfway. Therefore, Harper had prepared a strategy in advance. Hearing Enzer's words, Harper pulled Celine behind her. “Cece has some family matters to attend to. She told her family when we left that we will be back by three in the afternoon. It's already half past two now. Do you want Cece to get scolded when she gets home?”

Harper's statements left Enzer at a loss for words. He wanted Celine to stay, but if she did, she would be scolded when she returned home. Thus, if he forcibly kept her around, it would make him seem unreasonable.

“Shall I give you both a ride?” Enzer asked Celine.

“No need. It's your birthday today and you have so many friends here. Harper and I can take the bus downstairs to go back,” she declined quickly.

The three of them were standing at the entrance of the private room, and several people inside were already looking their way.

Even though she had transferred schools, Celine still didn't want any rumors to circulate about her and Enzer.

She didn't want any messy affairs to interfere with her studies anymore.

After Celine finished speaking, she pulled Harper along, pushed the door open, and walked out.

“Ah—” Enzer only had time to shout once before the two of them had already ran off into the distance. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Furrowing his brows, he felt that Celine was always avoiding him.

Alvin spotted him in a dispirited state and walked up to pat his shoulder. “Tsk, she's gone. Why are you still looking? When she used to sit in front of you, I told you to confess your feelings, but you stubbornly insisted that you didn't like Celine. Now that she's transferred schools, you're eagerly searching for her.”

Alvin huffed, “I see what kind of person you are now, Enzer. You're the type who only tells the truth when you're cornered!”

Enzer was hit where it hurt, and he became somewhat flustered out of embarrassment. “What are you blabbering about? When did I ever tell you that I like Celine?”

“Oh, so you don't like Celine? Then why do you look like you're yearning for her so much?”

“You don't know a d*mn thing! We were classmates, after all, and she even taught me for two months. How can I not feel some camaraderie there with her? She came all this way but only stayed for a few minutes. I didn't even get to cut the cake before she left. If it were you, wouldn't you be p*ssed off?”

Alvin shrugged. “Not really. If a friend really has something urgent and needs to leave but still makes the effort to come to give their blessings, isn't that thoughtful enough? Why should I be upset? If you still don't realize that you like Celine even after all this, let me ask you another question. If Sasha and Shirley have something going on and they need to leave now, would you be upset?” A playful smile settled on his countenance. “Don't lie, Enzie. It's easy to fool me, but it's pointless to fool yourself.”

Enzer furrowed his brows. He had to admit, Alvin's question really hit the nail on the head.

If the ones leaving were Sasha and Shirley, he really wouldn't feel much about it.

There was nothing Enzer could say because Alvin was right. He indeed had feelings for Celine.

Even though Celine was timid, indecisive, and often ungrateful, he found her quite adorable, despite her small size.

Enzer ran his fingers through his hair. “When will the cake arrive?”

Since Celine had left early, he no longer had any desire to celebrate his birthday.

“It'll be here soon. There's no need for you to be so upset. Didn't Celine give you a birthday present? Why don't you open it and see what's inside? It could be a love letter, a couple's watch or bracelet, or some other items to represent her confession of love. Maybe she was too shy and left first because of it.”

Upon hearing that, Enzer blinked, his eyes lit up. He quickly went over to the table where the gifts were placed.

He deliberately set aside Celine's gift. As he approached the table, he saw it right away.

Enzer grabbed the gift with Alvin following beside him. The latter was also quite curious about Celine's birthday gift to Enzer.

The box wasn't large, and at first glance, it couldn't possibly contain a book. That immediately ruled out the possibility of it being the “surprising” birthday gift.

Enzer carefully unwrapped the gift box, and upon opening it, he found a USB drive inside. “Why did she give me a USB drive?”

“You're such a fool. Maybe there's a video of her blessings inside. At least she made an effort!” speculated Alvin.

Enzer was intrigued by what Alvin had said, but there was no computer in the KTV. He went around looking for one. Finally, after handing some money to a staff member, he plugged his USB drive into the computer at the front desk.

Alvin wanted to look too, but Enzer punched him away.

Enzer didn't want Alvin to see because it might be a video of Celine confessing her love for him.

However, reality proved that Enzer was overthinking it. What was inside were important notes for each subject in the university entrance exam, meticulously organized by Celine.

Upon seeing those folders, Alvin couldn't help but laugh. “Celine is indeed a model student!”
