Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 33

Carlisle clenched–his teeth and bought three phones straight.

Observing Carlisle’s generosity with the money, Sean decided to indulge himself and bought one as well.

During that time, SIM cards did not require any form of Identification. So, Carlisle bought three phone cards directly.

As they exited, the store manager gifted them water bottles and umbrellas.

Just as they stepped out of the phone shop, Carlisle suddenly felt a pang of regret.

He remembered that the technology for mobile phones would advance rapidly in the coming years.

He shouldn’t have bought such an expensive phone.

Then, he quickly rationalized that the money he had was an unexpected fortune.

In his previous life, he had been negligent, failing to adequately support his parents. He resolved to make amends in this lifetime.

Carlisle rode his bike to the market and purchased a substantial amount of high–quality produce.

He didn’t return home until nine in the morning.

Hilda sat on the couch, engrossed in her handiwork.

Seeing Carlisle arrive with bags of groceries, she smiled and remarked, “Oh, it seems like my son has really grown up. He even knows how to buy groceries now!”

It was intended as a jest, but Carlisle chastised himself internally.
