Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 561

Gordon was shaving in front of the mirror. When he heard Carlisle's voice, he turned back and said, "You're up! We're getting ready to go back to our old place and make some donations to the community hall. Do you want to go back with us?"

Hilda said, "You didn't go back during the summer holidays. Now that you're back, let's go together. Your grandfather asks about you every time he calls."

Carlisle looked awkward. "I've got to fly to Yorksle tonight. If I return to Whitewood now and rush to Riverland Airport, I might not have enough time."

Hilda was startled. "Why are you going to Yorksle? Don't you have to go to class?"

Carlisle looked at Gordon in confusion. "I took a leave of absence. Didn't Dad tell you?"

Hilda stared at Gordon and asked, "How long is this leave of absence?"

Gordon rubbed his clean-shaven chin and said, "About ten days?"

Hilda's eyes widened. She was about to speak when Carlisle said quickly, "Mom, you don't have to worry about my studies. I've already finished studying everything I need to know for the first year."

"Do you think I'm easy to fool? Apart from the time you spent in military training, you've only been having classes officially for about a month, haven't you?" Hilda clearly did not believe Carlisle.

Gordon said in a measured tone, "Our son is smart. Isn't it normal for him to learn at a fast pace? I'm sure you've heard of those geniuses who skip a year or two when they go to school.

Hilda did feel that Gordon was right. Carlisle had managed to earn so much money in such a short amount of time. It proved he was a fast learner, so she asked, "Are you going to Yorksle alone?"
