Chapter 4

A barely 646 square feet rental place served as their family of three’s modest home.

The room was dimly lit, with worn–out furniture displaying severe signs of peeling paint. The cracked floors exuded dampness, while the air carried a musty scent.

“It’s so damp, so it’s probably going to rain again!” Hilda complained as she carried the groceries into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Carlisle headed straight to his bedroom to start his revision. Before doing so, he took out a notepad and a pencil to write down two phrases: “Get into a university” and “Earn money“.

For an ordinary person, the goal of taking the college entrance exam was to secure a better future. Then he could get a good job and earn money.

But for Carlisle, it was to make up for regrets from his past life and to lift his parents‘ heads high in front of others.

As for making money, it wasn’t too difficult for a reincarnator like him. There are plenty of opportunities to earn money in the coming years.

After work, Gordon Zahn returned home with a bag of pastries. He was dressed in work clothes and had a slightly plump figure. He also had stubble on his cheek and messy hair.

He stood at the door to watch for a while before heading to the kitchen to help.

“You better get out of here. You’re too clumsy!” Hilda pushed Gordon out of the kitchen as she finished

speaking.

Gordon suddenly said, “Hilda, have you noticed how hardworking our son is?”

Hilda glared at Gordon with a displeased expression and asked, “Is something wrong with you? You have something to say when he’s not working hard. Now that he is hardworking, you still have something to

say?”

“What I mean is, our son is working so hard. He’s bound to get into a better university!”

“Of course, Carl has inherited his mother’s talent and intelligence. It’s hard for him not to excel!”

“Nonsense! He obviously takes after his smart father!”

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
