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!”

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

could make it?”

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

Carlisle then went back to his room to revise after dinner. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and
