Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 675 Rowen Makes A Sacrifice

Today was Friday, and it was time for the last class meeting in the afternoon.

Seats in Grade Eleven Class Seven were chosen based on academic performance. The midterm exam results were already out, so seat changes were available the following Monday. Naturally, today's class meeting was about choosing seats.

Celine, who had transferred to the school less than two months ago, was still unaware of the seat- changing arrangements.

Harper had had her eyes set on the seat swap for a while now. She ranked fourth in the class this time, while Celine ranked second. Although Rowen topped the class, he always kept his spot. No one would compete with him for it, and he wouldn't vie for others' spots either.

As soon as the third class ended, Harper rushed to Celine's seat and said, “Cece, later during the class meeting, the teacher will let us choose our seats. You're second in the whole class; where do you want to sit? Let's sit together!”

Meanwhile, Irving was also discussing the same matter with Rowen, “Rowen, you'll be able to get back your VIP single seat next week. Excited, aren't you?”

Upon hearing Irving's words, Harper glared at him fiercely and snapped, “You make it sound as if Cece is eager to sit with him!”

Rowen swallowed and turned his head to look at Celine beside him. He deadpanned, “So you want to share a desk with her and fail math together?”

Although Rowen's words were harsh, they were indeed the truth.

But Harper was not pleased to hear this. “What do you mean by that? I got a perfect score in math this time!”

Irving, who enjoyed a good spectacle, said tauntingly, “The total score is one hundred and fifty marks.”

“Well, I still passed the test!”

Rowen couldn't be bothered to deal with Harper. He raised his hand and rapped on Celine's desk, questioning, “Do you want to sit with her?”

Celine nodded. “Harper and I have already agreed on this.”

Her reply upset Rowen, who muttered, “Whatever.”

Harper couldn't help but click her tongue at the scene. “Rowen, didn't you used to dislike sitting with others? Now that Cece wants to sit with me, isn't it better for you to go back to sitting alone?”

Harper paused before adding, “You wouldn't happen to be reluctant to share Cece with us, would you? I mean, I can understand why. Cece is smart, good-looking, and has a great personality. Plenty of our classmates would love to sit with Cece! Good thing I made the first move!”

Rowen scoffed. “Childish!”

If it had been in the past, Harper would have retorted him immediately. But now, she was satisfied to

see Rowen stubbornly swallowing his pride.

She hummed lightly and flashed a radiant smile at Celine. “Cece, remember our agreement. We're sitting together!”

Celine also laughed and replied, “All right.”

However, things didn't go as planned. Before choosing seats, Janice personally approached Celine and suggested, “Celine, you performed well in all other subjects, but you're not doing so well in math. Rowen, on the other hand, is excellent in math and natural science, but his literature and Ustranasion scores are not as good as yours. If you two sit together, you could complement each other in your studies.”

Janice continued, “I hope that you can sit together. In the future, you should help Rowen with his literature and Ustranasion studies while asking Rowen for help with math. That way, you can both improve together.”

As she spoke, she shot Celine a serious look.

Celine had only been transferred to their school for over a month. She was quiet and well-behaved, did well in academics, and was very beautiful.

To be honest, she really didn't want Celine to sit next to a devil like Rowen.

But before the class meeting began, both the literature and Ustranasion teachers approached her about that very matter. They mentioned that Rowen had been dozing off in class much less frequently, probably because he was sitting next to a female classmate. Boys of his age were particularly

concerned about their image.

Before Celine transferred to the school, Rowen refused to share a desk with anyone, not even with Irving, who he usually got along well with.

Others may have been clueless, but the class teacher knew that Celine was adopted by the Lewis family and that Rowen was the Lewis family's godson. Allowing Celine and Rowen to sit together wouldn't raise any concerns about a messy teenage romance.

Even if a relationship bloomed, any issues related to it would be easier to resolve than for others.

After addressing Celine, Janice turned to the leisurely Rowen beside Celine and asked, “Rowen, do you have any objections to Celine continuing to share a desk with you?”

Rowen glanced at Celine and said, “She's too short. She can't see the blackboard clearly from the back.”

Upon hearing Rowen's words, Celine blushed slightly. She glanced at him and noticed he was looking at her, so she quickly averted her gaze.

For over a month now, she had indeed been struggling to see the blackboard, which was why she had been unable to keep up with her notes.

The homeroom teacher paused for a moment, looking down at Celine. She realized that Celine's height indeed made it unsuitable for her to sit in the last row. However, Rowen always sat in the last row.

Janice hesitated for a moment before proposing, “Could you move forward then?”

Rowen remained silent while Celine pursed her lips, feeling too embarrassed to say anything.

Seeing the situation, Janice promptly declared, “Then later, you guys choose a spot in the middle of the classroom. That's that, then!”

As if fearing that Rowen might change his mind, Janice beelined for the lectern as soon as she finished speaking.

Many students heard what their homeroom teacher had said just now.

Some people envied Celine, while others envied Rowen.

Harper turned to look at Celine, her mouth curved into a pitiful pout.

Celine never expected the homeroom teacher to allow her to continue sharing a desk with Rowen. She looked at Harper somewhat apologetically and bit her lip. She mouthed silently, “I'm sorry.”

Harper suddenly burst into laughter, drawing the attention of the teacher on the lectern. She quickly sat up straight, but not before flashing a heart sign with her hands at Celine.

While Janice was busy reviewing her class’s overall performance in the midterm exam, the seating chart made its way to Rowen's hands.

The two of them, one ranked first and the other second, could theoretically choose any seat they wanted. However, Rowen was tall, so if he sat in the middle, he could easily block the view of the students sitting behind him on both sides.

Naturally, Rowen had always disliked sitting in the middle.

He handed the seating chart directly to Celine, saying, “You choose.”

Celine took the seating chart and asked, “Rowie, do you prefer to sit on the inside or outside?”

She didn't really mind where she sat since Rowen was already accommodating her by moving forward.

“Inside it is.”

“By the corridor?”

“Mm-hmm.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Celine quickly filled out their selection. “Is this okay?”

Rowen glanced over. Celine had selected a pair of seats in the third row from the front of the classroom, conveniently next to the window.

“Looks good to me.”

“So, I'll give the chart to Rhianne?”

Rowen mumbled, “Mm-hmm.”

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Celine hesitated a bit and asked, “Is this spot really okay, Rowie?”

“Sure.”

Rowen furrowed his brows before continuing, “I can sit anywhere.”

He wasn't like a certain short and near-sighted someone.

As he spoke, he took the seating chart from Celine's hand and handed it to Irving, who was nearby. “Give it to Rhianne.”

Irving was taken aback for a moment. He took the seating chart and glanced at it. The only names on it were Rowen's and Celine's.

Irving looked at Rowen with mixed feelings. Could it be? Had Rowen really started to accommodate Celine?
