Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 99

“I knew you’d forget, so I thought I’d give you a heads–up!” Hilda said with a teasing smile.

“Got it, Mom. I’ve got to go now, but I’ll call you when I can, okay?” Carlisle quickly ended the call and made his way downstairs.

In his previous life, Carlisle used to spend his birthdays at his grandfather’s place. On that particular night, Riverland TV Station aired a major news report.

The wealthiest person in Riverland, Yuriel, spent 80 thousand dollars in a local antique shop in Rainville. He snagged an original Galloping Horses painting by Harold Delacruz. Later, he flipped it for a staggering 3.86 million dollars.

Carlisle hailed a cab. “To Rainville, please!”

“Rainville?” The cab driver raised an eyebrow. “I don’t usually do long–distance trips…”

Carlisle grinned. “How about three hundred dollars?” he asked.

After a moment’s hesitation, the cab driver shook his head. “It’s not about the money. My wife is about to give birth in the hospital, and I’m afraid I won’t make it back in time!”

Carlisle got down from the cab. Just then, another cab pulled over by the roadside.

Wanda stepped out of the cab. “Carlisle…”

Her eyes lit up when she saw Carlisle.

“Is your family dinner over already?” Carlisle asked with a light chuckle.

Are you heading back to your studio? Mind if I tag along?” Wanda
