Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

“Hello Carl, do you still remember what you said to me before? You said it was stupid for a person to change their whole life for another person!

“Do you think such a stupid person will ever appear in your life? I’ll see you

Carlisle felt his brain go blank.

erland University.”

Anyone with a functioning brain would understand the hidden meaning behind Wanda’s words.

She was trying to say that she had decided to change the path of her life for someone. And that someone just so happened to be him!

No wonder Wanda had continued to stay in Riverland University despite having the grades to enter an Ivy League.

She had really stayed on for him!

Holy shit!

He had rarely interacted with Wanda in his past life. How could she stay at Riverland University for him?

She probably decided to attend Riverland University, so it’ll be easier for her to attend any gatherings in the future.

It was a shame that he had been so caught up with Sarah in his past life that he never spared a second glance at Wanda.

After being reborn, he began to have some interactions with Winda. Hence, she had gathered the courage to write a love letter to him.

Carlisle’s breathing became labored as he seemed to have grasped another new meaning behind his rebirth.

Wanda must have ended up marrying someone she had no feelings for. Hence, she didn’t have a happy future.

It was one of Wanda’s biggest regrets, and he was the one who had caused it.

He had lived a short life.

His parents had to watch him die.

These were all part of his regrets in his past life.

Carlisle took a deep breath and murmured, “Wanda, I’ll see you at Riverland University!”

Wanda’s last sentence probably meant that he would not be able to see her for quite some time.

With her shy personality, she would also probably try to hide from him.

Since that was the case, they would meet again at Riverland University.

At that moment, Hilda’s angry shouts echoed into the house. “Hayley Woods, I dare you to slander my son again. I’ll destroy your house if you do!”

Carlisle quickly made his way outside.

What happened to his mom? Why did she suddenly begin arguing with their neighbor?

At the stairs, Hilda and Hayley happened to be glaring at each other.

The fresh groceries from the shops were scattered all across the floor.

Hayley laughed coldly and said, “Did I say anything wrong? My son’s results would not be that bad if your son hadn’t brought him to the cybercafe so frequently.

“How dare Carlisle even dream of entering Riverland University with that shitty results of his. You and your whole family should just continue dreaming!”

“You bitch. I’ll tear you apart…”

Hilda’s expression was full of hostility as she rushed up to grab Hayley’s hair.

Hayley refused to back down as she grabbed Hilda’s arm and bit her.

“Mom, Mrs. Woods, stop fighting…” Carlisle quickly rushed up to stop the fight.

Although Hayley’s words were slightly cruel, they were neighbors for quite some time now. Their family had helped his family repeatedly throughout the years. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Her precious son probably messed up another exam. Hence, she was venting all her anger on his family.

Carlisle separated the two women as Hilda screamed in anger. “Don’t hold me back. I want to tear h

Hayley placed her hands on her hips as she said arrogantly, “Come on then. Come and hit me if you dare. You can’t do anything. Why are you acting so proud?”

“Carlisle, let go of me…”

“Hey, mom. Calm down!”

Carlisle held onto his mother tightly as he turned to Hayley and said, “That’s enough, Ms. Woods. We’re all neighbors here. We don’t have to fight.”

Hayley combed her messy hair as Hilda had messed up her hair.

Then, Hayley said, “I’ll let it go this time since your son is here!”

Hilda also didn’t dare to go overboard with Carlisle there. She didn’t want her son to think that he had a

crazy old woman for a mother.

Hayley picked up the groceries on the floor and headed home.

Carlisle bent down to put all the leftover goods into Hilda’s basket.

“Did your class end early today?” Hilda asked as she bent down to help pick up the groceries.

Carlisle nodded. “That’s right. We have a five–day holiday before it’s time for our SATS.”

Suddenly, Hilda thought of all her aggrieved moments. She pursed her lips as tears pooled in her eyes. ” Carlisle, are you confident you’ll be able to further your studies?”

“Can’t you have more faith in your son? Didn’t you see I’ve been studying non–stop for the past month?”

Carlisle’s voice was soft and gentle.

It was as if he suddenly realized that his parents were probably more stressed than him.

They had to withstand endless mockery from Gerard and his family. Ti neighbors‘ judgemental gaze toward them.

All of this was because of his bad grades.

Furthering one’s education was a big thing in his generation. Most people would look down upon a family If their child failed to get into a university.

In the eyes of most people, only people who manage to get into university will be able to have a bright future.

And that was indeed the case in reality.

Only a great opportunity or knowledge could change one’s future.

Carlisle had been a salesman in his past life. He had a boss who only finished elementary school. But he had also met a Master’s student who became a regular employee in the firm.

“I believe in you,” Hilda said through teary eyes as she smiled at Carlisle. Then, they brought the goods.

back home.

Gordon only returned home at around 9:00pm. He looked exhausted. There was also a twinge of sadness

In his eyes.

The three of them had dinner together. It was warm and fulfilling.

For the next five days, Carlisle had spent three days revising. But during the last two days, Sean had

dragged him to an internet café for two days straight.

But Hilda and Gordon did not mind.

After all, Carlisle had been studying diligently for the past few days. His SAT exams were in two days. It

was time for him to relax before the exams.

On the 7th of June, it was drizzling when Carlisle woke up at six in the morning.

Hilda could hear some sounds coming from the living room and nudged Gordon.

“Gordon…”

“What is it?*

“Why is Carl up so early?”

“His exams are today. He probably woke up to prepare for them!”
