Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 120 That wasn’t right. Carlisle was the one taking advantage of Wanda! She puffed out her cheeks and looked up at him. “You’re the one who purposely stopped…” She didn’t finish her sentence. The way Carlisle stared intently at her made her stop. Under the dim lights, the moonlight cast on her face through the tree branches. Her red lips gleamed delectably. Carlisle gulped, unable to stop himself from leaning down to kiss her. Wanda widened her eyes in surprise as her heart raced. She wondered if Carlisle was going to kiss her. This was her first kiss! Should she reject him? She thought that she couldn’t let this happen. He’d yet to confess his feelings to her, so she wasn’t his girlfriend yet! But… if she were to turn him down, wouldn’t she be just like Sarah? After a round of mental struggling, Wanda slowly lifted her head and shut her eyes tightly. She was going to throw caution to the wind. This would be Carlisle’s first kiss, too–she wasn’t losing out on anything! Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the square nearby. It made Wanda jump in surprise and turn to look at the square. There was a crowd at the square, and fireworks were being set. They exploded in the night sky in a flurry of colors, lighting it up momentarily. “Wow, they’re gorgeous…” Wanda’s eyes gleamed brightly.” Carlisle sat there and asked her softly, “You don’t get the chance to see fireworks often?” “I spend the holidays at the county, and they don’t allow fireworks there.” “Do you like them?” “Yeah! I love the moment when they explode and light up the sky. The sight of them in that split second is so memorable.” Wanda looked up at the sky, looking dreamy. The colorful fireworks, the twinkling stars, and the fact that she could witness all of this with the person she liked… It was wonderful. Carlisle lay on the grass with his hands behind his back. He crossed one leg at the knee and wiggled his toes as he looked up at the sky with his eyes half–shut. “Wow!” “Kiss her! Kiss her!” The crowd at the square started cheering and whooping. A couple hugged each other and shared a kiss. Wanda’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Look, Carlisle! That’s so romantic!” He asked lazily, “Is that a hint for me?” Chapter 120 “What? No, of course not! Don’t overthink this!” Wanda shook her head vigorously. Carlisle smiled without saying anything else. He already had It planned out–on the day he confessed his feelings for Wanda, he would light enough fireworks to make Riverland’s sky light up like it was daytime. They strolled around the square for a while before taking a cab back to campus. Carlisle walked Wanda back to her dorm before returning to his. Kelvin was playing a game on his phone as he ay on his front. When he saw Carlisle walk in, he mocked,” You thought you were a big shot back in high school, didn’t you? Why’d you back down like a coward today?” Carlisle gathered his clothes and said, “You were a pretty big shot in high school, too. Why are your someone’s lapdog now?” “Fuck! Say that again!” Kelvin jumped out of bed, looking like he would swing a punch at any second. Carlisle couldn’t be bothered. He turned to leave with his shower necessities. Kelvin stood in his way and said obnoxiously, “You’d better watch yourself when you’re talking to me. You couldn’t afford to offend me in Rainville, and you can’t afford to do it now!” Carlisle looked at him. Kelvin was half a head shorter than him and was as skinny as a stick. Then, he sidestepped Kelvin to leave. If he was still the same person he’d been before being reborn, Kelvin would already be lying on the floor and screaming for mercy. Now that Carlisle had been given a second chance at life, his mindset had changed drastically. He would take Kelvin’s insults in stride and pretend they were nothing but ant bites. After taking a shower, he returned to his room and lay on the bed. Then, he called Thomas to wish him a happy birthday. Chapter 121
