Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

“What do you mean by saying I handed in an empty paper? I’m just that capable! The essay question was

too easy,” Carlisle said with confidence.

Gordon also knew that his son would not have handed in an empty paper. He had noticed the changes in

his son throughout the past month.

“Then, how many marks to you think you’ll get?” Gordon asked nervously.

Although he had never taken his SATs, he knew that the highest score for the SATS was 1600 and that the essay held a large portion of the marks.

“I think I could easily get a 85% score,” Carlisle said as he slipped his hands into his pockets.

Immediately, the parents around him looked at him in disdain.

“I’m being serious with you!” Gordon exclaimed as his lips twitched. Every parent’s dream was to see their child become an outstanding student. He was no different.

He would thank the gods if Carlisle managed to score 60%. Yet Carlisle claimed he could score above the

85% mark.

“I’m not joking with you either!” Carlisle smiled in exasperation. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He had studied the essay theme for a month. With his experiences in both lives, the essay title, “Variety is

the spice of life” would allow him to score.

He also doubted he made any major mistakes on the other questions.

“Carlisle, your father has always been an honest man. Why can’t you just follow in his footsteps?” One of Gordon’s colleagues teased with a smile.

“Nothing I say will make you believe me. Just watch what happens when the results are out!” Carlisle said calmly as he glared at the man.

He no longer had the energy to fight with unimportant people. He would have to prove them all wrong.

when the results were out.

Carlisle continued to complete the following exams within an hour. He came out looking relaxed as he stuffed his hands into his pockets.

Gordon was speechless as he stood there and smoked his cigarette.

Then, he decided to accompany Carlisle to lunch before heading out to find another part–time job.

By now, most people knew that the boy who had come out within an hour was his son.

A few of the nasty middle–aged women were conversing and talking nastily about his son. He felt

uncomfortable and sad when he heard them!

In the afternoon, Carlisle waited for Sean.

“Carl… My wonderful and amazing Carl! From today onward, I shall worship you,” Sean said excitedly, pulling Carlisle into a bear hug and squeezing him twice.

“Fuck off! Don’t be disgusting.” Carlisle said as he pushed Sean off of

“Oh. Mr. Zahn is here!” Only then did Sean notice Gordon. He smiled at Gordon as his face flushed red.

Gordon smiled and walked forward.

Sean held Carlisle by the shoulders and said excitedly, “Carl, the essay title was Variety is the spice of life. ‘I think I can get a high score for my essay this time!”

The requirements to enter a high–tiered university were written in black and white. A single mark difference could also cause one to lose the opportunity to study in his dream school.

“Good luck. Let’s all work hard to get into Riverland University!” Carlisle said as he playfully punched Sean

in the arm.

Sean pursed his lips and said, “I don’t have any high hopes for Riverland University. I’ll be happy with just entering a Tier 2 University.

Although Sean had frequented the cybercafe, he wasn’t behind in his studies. Carlisle’s hard work for the past month had also enticed him to study.

“Oh, right. Have you seen Wanda?” Carlisle asked out of the blue.

“Nope. Why are you suddenly asking about her? Are you two…” Sean suddenly smiled wickedly.

“Stop overthinking. I was just asking,” Carlisle said as he rolled his eyes at Sean.
