Chapter 682 You Are Such A Busybody


    On Sunday, Harper stayed up past midnight engrossed in her novel. If it wasn''t for her mother dragging


    her out of bed on Monday morning, she would have beente again.


    Celine has been waiting at her house for five minutes already. Irene dragged Harper downstairs. “Hurry


    up, Celine has been waiting for you for quite a while!”


    Yawning, Harper descended the stairs. She nced at Celine, then turned her head to look at the wall


    clock. Seeing the time, Harper finally woke up. “Oh my, is it already six forty?”


    Irene shot her an annoyed nce. “I told you to sleep early, but you insisted on ying with your


    phone! Hurry up and eat your breakfast. I''ll give you both a rideter!”


    Irene turned her head toward Celine. “Celine, would you like to have some more breakfast?”


    Celine quickly waved her hand. “Mrs. Granger, I already had breakfast.”


    Knowing that Celine was shy, Irene just smiled and didn''t continue the topic.


    While eating her breakfast, Harper was making faces at Celine, who couldn''t help but lower her head


    andugh.


    Irene went back to her room to change her clothes. Holding a ss of milk, Harper walked up to Celine


    and asked, “Celine, do you read novels? I found a really good onest night!”


    Celine was a bit curious. “I haven''t read many novels. What''s it called?”


    “I can''t remember the name, but it''s super nice. I''ll send it to you in a bit!”


    As the two were speaking, Irene came down from upstairs. “Hurry up and eat, you. It''s one thing for


    you to bete, but don''t make Cele too!”


    Harper pouted and finished herst sip of milk. “I''m done.”


    Irene nced at the tater tots on the table. “Harper, finish the tater tots!”


    Harper pretended not to hear, but her mother simply grabbed a ziplock bag and packed the tater tots


    into it. Once they were in the car, she turned around and tossed the bag onto Harper''sp, saying.


    “Finish these!”


    Harper made a face at the back of her mother''s chair. “Cece, this can''t be my real mom! I can''t eat


    anymore, but she still insists I eat!”


    “Indeed, I am your stepmother, and you''d better listen to me. Otherwise, I''ll make sure you can''t return


    home!”


    Celine watched as Harper yfully bickered with her mother and felt a sense of envy.


    She lost her parents in an ident not long after she was born. She couldn''t even remember her


    mother''s face, let alone cherish such warm and tender moments.


    Celine was quietly looking out the car window, not saying much along the way.


    The car quickly pulled up in front of the school. Harper called her name. Snapping back to reality,


    Celine gave an embarrassed smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Granger.”


    “You''re wee, Celine.”


    Irene turned around to look at them, reminding Harper to stay focused during ss and to be careful on


    her way home in the evening.


    Celine got out of the car, while Harper waved her hand impatiently.


    “Cece, let''s go. I can''t stand the nagging anymore!”


    After getting out of the car, Harper grabbed Celine''s hand and started running toward the school.


    Watching Harper''s retreating figure, Irene could only shake her head helplessly.


    Harper pulled Celine into the school before finally stopping. “That was terrifying!”


    She turned to look at Celine. “Cece, what were you thinking just now? I called you several times, but


    you didn''t hear me!”


    Celine was taken aback. “No, I wasn''t thinking about anything.”


    Harper looked at her and recalled Celine''s dejected expression in the car earlier. She pursed her lips


    and changed the subject. “My mom found me a tutor. He''s a math student from Jadeborough


    University, and he''s really handsome!”


    Harper had a fondness for handsome guys, and her standards were high. If she imed someone was


    handsome, they must truly be good-looking.


    However, Celine''s focus on handsome guys wasn''t as high as Harper''s. She was only concerned about


    one thing. “Is he a good teacher?”


    “Of course! He''s handsome and good at teaching. I feel more motivated to learn math than ever


    before!”


    As the two were engrossed in their conversation, they didn''t notice a familiar figure had appeared


    behind them.


    An''s face slightly darkened as he caught snippets of their conversation.


    He was afraid that Harper and Celine would notice him, so he instinctively slowed down his pace.


    Back in the ssroom, Celine took out the fountain pen she bought on Saturday from her backpack


    and handed it to Harper. “Harper.”


    As Harper caught sight of the gift-wrapped fountain pen, the memory came rushing back to her. “You''re


    absolutely right, I almost forgot until you brought it up! I''ll go look for An!”


    As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the gift box before running out.

    Harper ran to the door of ss One and bumped into An who happened to being back. Holding


    the gift, she approached him. “An!”


    “Harper?”


    An was taken aback. He looked at the gift box in Harper''s hand hesitantly. “Are you looking for me?”


    Haven''t you already found a handsome guy to teach you math? Why are you here?


    Harper had always been carefree and nonchnt, so she naturally didn''t notice An''s emotions. She


    handed him the pen she was holding. “This is a gift that Cece and I pooled our money to buy. Thank


    you for tutoring us in math for over a month. Thanks for your help earlier, An! I''m off now! I''ll seek you


    out if I have any questions in the future!”


    Harper spoke rapidly, catching An off guard, and before he could react, she had finished speaking.


    By the time An regained hisposure, Harper had already turned and walked away.


    An opened his mouth, but in the end, he still didn''t stop Harper.


    A ssmate spotted the gift box in An''s hand and took a nce at Harper''s retreating figure. He then


    patted An on the shoulder with a teasing smile. “An, you''re impressive! The beautiful Harper gave


    you a gift!”


    Upon hearing these words, An immediately blushed. “Nonsense. This is a thank-you gift from Harper


    and Celine!”


    Everyone in ss One knew that An had been tutoring Harper and Celine in math recently.


    When he said that, his ssmate stopped teasing him, “Oh, I see.”


    However, when the ssmate contemted An tutoring both Harper and Celine, he couldn''t help but


    feel that An was rather fortunate. After all, both of them were strikingly beautiful.


    He clicked his tongue, muttering, “You''re pretty lucky to be able to tutor two beautifuldies!”


    His voice was loud, and An heard everything clearly. As thetter lowered his gaze to the gift in his


    hands, his face turned even redder.


    Harper hurried back to ss. Before she even sat down, she told Celine, “Celine, I''ve already given the


    gift to An!”


    Celine nodded. Behind them, Irving got curious and asked, “What kind of gift? Why is Celine giving


    An a gift?”


    Rowen was walking behind Irving. His eyes crinkled up as he turned to look at Celine.


    Harper nced at Irving. “You''re such a busybody! That''s something Cece and I bought to give to


    An.”


    Irving chuckled. “Oh, why are you giving An a gift all of a sudden? Is it his birthday or something?”


    Harper red at him. “We had him tutor us in math a while ago, so what''s wrong with giving him a gift?”


    “Does that mean that when Rowen instructs Celine, she''ll have to present him with a gift once she


    masters everything?”
