Chapter Eighty three

Celina returned home from school but her mother wasn't around, and she wasn't at their fruit shop either.

"Maybe she went out to buy something. I'll just study until she returns."

After eating her lunch, she studied in her room and eventually slept off on her books.

Mrs Eloise returned some hours later.

'The door is left open...that means Celina's back. I can't let her see me dressed like this.'

Tiptoeing into her room, she quickly locked the door and undressed immediately. After a hot shower, she dressed in her usual clothes and tied her hair again. Now looking like her former self, she went to check on Celina.

She was deep asleep with her head on her books.

"Ah....she must've studied so much. She's pushing herself too hard these days." she whispered.

She patted her gently and Celina woke up with a start.

"Oh….i fell asleep while reading. When did you return?" she asked in an exhausted tone. Her eyes were worn out from too much studying.
