Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 8

Carlisle took the college application form from his backpack and handed it to Hilda. Upon examining the application form, Hilda frowned and commented, “You little rascal, you actually wrote Riverland

University?”

Gordon’s tone turned displeased. “What do you mean? Isn’t my son qualified for Riverland University?”

“I didn’t mean that. What I meant is he could have selected a few more schools!”

“What? He only filled in one school?* Gordon snatched the application form and glanced at it. Suddenly, his body stiffened.

Goodness! Carlisle only wrote Riverland University. So, does that mean he was only considering Riverland

Carlisle suddenly remembered the time while he was sick. His father had frequently coughed and occasionally had difficulty breathing. He suspected his father had lung problems.

It wasn’t until Carlisle was close to death that he promised to quit smoking.

“Dad, let’s make a bet. If I get into Riverland University, you’ll quit smoking.” Carlisle suggested.

“Quit smoking?” Gordon couldn’t help but shiver as he remembered the three months he had quit smoking to buy Carlisle a bicycle. He continued, “You should change the bet.”

Carlisle sneered. “Do you not have the courage to take on the bet?”

Gordon was agitated and responded, “Let’s bet then! If you get into Riverland University, I will quit both

smoking and drinking!”

Carlisle smirked triumphantly.

Gordon cut in sharply, “Look at you now! You’re acting as if you’re really going to get into Riverland University!”

Hilda pinched Gordon’s arm hard and asked, “Who was the one who wholeheartedly believed that he

Gordon rubbed his arm and turned to the balcony to smoke.
