Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



As Francis pulled the Rolls-Royce up to where Carlisle and Gareth were waiting, a group of young men and women trailed behind the car. A few street ladies also approached, hoping to get his number.

Gareth grinned and said, "Is this the charm of a Rolls-Royce? I should've gotten one for myself, too!"

"Your Ferrari is pretty attractive, too," Carlisle remarked.

"Are you a fan of sports cars?" Gareth asked, glancing at Carlisle.

Gareth had initially considered buying Carlisle a sports car but thought Carlisle, with his reserved and mature demeanor, was better suited for a Rolls-Royce. Compared to other teenagers, Carlisle seemed more like a successful businessman who had endured hardship before achieving success.

Thus, Gareth felt that a Rolls-Royce matched Carlisle's mature character better.

Carlisle took a photo of the Rolls-Royce.

He smiled and said, "I prefer the Rolls-Royce!"

Car enthusiast or not, no one seemed to be able to resist the charm of a Rolls-Royce- Carlisle was no exception.

After Carlisle and Gareth got into the Rolls-Royce, they felt as though its luxurious interior had elevated their status.

Francis turned on the starlight headliner. The dynamic effect of the starlight headliner created a dreamy atmosphere akin to the light and shadow of an eclipse.

Leaning back in his seat, Carlisle gazed at the starlight headliner above him, his heart filled with astonishment and contentment. He believed that not many people in Riverland could afford a million-dollar car in this era.

After dropping Gareth off at Imperial Hotel, Francis drove Carlisle back to Willow Grove. He had arranged for his comrade, who had been assigned to protect Carlisle in secret, to drive the Mazda 6 back.

The next day, Carlisle woke up early for his morning run. After his run, he took a cold shower before heading to school.

Carlisle had already covered most of the semester's material on his own. His desk was now filled with second-year textbooks, which he had bought from a third-year senior. With diligent study, he could complete his university degree within a year.

When Carlisle arrived at the classroom, he found Christine sitting in Wanda's seat. Given

SwiftFunds' recent excellent performance, Carlisle believed she was there to share the good

news.

Swiftly settling himself in his seat, Carlisle asked, "Any good news for me?"

Christine took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and said softly, "I found this in the company mailbox this morning. I think it's from Wanda."

Christine's demeanor seemed a bit off as she spoke. However, Carlisle was too anxious to notice her unease. He quickly took the letter, his expression full of excitement.

"Why didn't she send me a letter? That silly girl hasn't forgotten about me, has she?"

Christine's eyelashes fluttered at his words. She was unable to mutter another word.

Carlisle unfolded the paper and saw it was filled with many rectangular boxes with names written inside them. They were the names of their high school classmates. It seemed to be a seating chart of their high school class.

Carlisle noticed a sentence written beside his name in the chart: "Christine, can you tell me who this person is?"

Carlisle stared at the note blankly.

He contemplated if Wanda had really forgotten about him. He wondered if she was joking and questioned if she genuinely couldn't recall who he was.

"What happened?"

Carlisle's expression turned pale, his hand slightly trembling as he held the paper.

Christine shared her thoughts.

Understanding that Christine was probably referring to memory erasure, Carlisle shook his head and said, "It can't be. Memory erasure is impossible with current technology!"

Even in his previous life, which was decades from the current timeline, Carlisle had never heard of memory erasure.

Noticing Carlisle's reddening eyes, Christine quickly comforted him, "In that case, don't overthink it. It's possible that Wanda has recovered from her illness, and she's just messing with you."
