Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

After posting his thread, Carlisle began browsing through other users‘ posts on the forum.

He stumbled upon a pinned thread seeking a player named Bygones_b_bygones from The Legendary Tale. The contact person listed was Chaos_Hero, along with a provided contact number.

Carlisle glanced at Wanda, realizing that Chaos Hero was her brother, Zachary ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The anger he had accumulated from the punch Zachary had thrown seemed to dissipate a bit.

If Zachary found out that the person who kidnapped his sister was the one who ruined his Heavenly

Sword, Carlisle wondered how he would react. But for now, it was best not to provoke him.

As Carlisle remained engrossed in his phone, Lily leaned in to whisper to Wanda, “Are you guys together

now?”

Wanda blushed slightly and said, “Well, sort of.”

Lily chuckled. “What do you mean ‘sort of“?”

Wanda lowered her voice and explained, “We haven’t really confessed to each other yet…”

*So, you’re just missing a formal declaration? Lily grinned. Then she frowned and said, “Wait a minute. Carlisle seemed quite particular about these things. He even sent roses to Sarah at school previously.”

“Oh, when was that? Why didn’t I know?” Wanda’s smile faded as she felt a pang of jealousy.

Realizing she had upset Wanda, Lily quickly corrected herself. “I was just kidding. There’s nothing to it!”

Wanda tugged at Lily’s dress and threatened her. “You better tell me, or I won’t be friends with

anymore!”

Caught in an awkward situation, Lily glanced at Carlisle for help,

Despite sitting across the table, Carlisle could still hear their conversation.

Carlisle smiled and said, “Last Valentine’s Day, I got a rose for Sarah and waited under her dorm in the

rain for two hours. Yet, she didn’t even give it a second glance!”

“Serves you right!” Wanda turned her head away in a huff.

Last Valentine’s Day was on a weekend. Zachary and Queenie had a fight, and she was at home helping Zachary figure out how to make up with Queenie.

“Wanda, that was just a silly thing from last year. You don’t need to be jealous,” Carlisle said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Wanda huffed, then she turned her head to Lily and asked, “So, what major did you choose?”

“I chose Accounting.” Lily said.

While the two chatted, Carlisle poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Earlier, Lily had mentioned the importance of formalities.

Carlisle hadn’t directly confessed his feelings to Wanda because he wanted to give her a romantic

confession.

But before that, he needed to make some achievements in his business. He wanted to give Wanda a sense of security.

The waiter served the dishes.

Carlisle wore disposable gloves and peeled some shrimp for Wanda. He pushed them toward Wanda, saying. “Wanda, have some shrimp. They’re good for you!”

Looking at Carlisle’s smiling face, Wanda turned her head away. “I have hands, you know…”

At this moment, Lily chimed in, “Wanda, if you don’t want them, let me take them!”

“No, he peeled them for me!” Wanda immediately pulled the small plate of shrimp toward her.

Lily let out a sigh. “You two are so lovey–dovey. I feel like a third wheel here. It’s really awkward for me!”

Wanda chuckled. “Don’t you have male classmates in college? You should find someone too!”

“L…” Lily lowered her head, a blush spreading across her face.

“You little liar. You must have a boyfriend already, right?” Wanda teased.

“I… I don’t!” Lily quickly shook her head.

“Is it Sean?” Carlisle asked with a smirk. He had previously set them up, but he wasn’t sure if they’d taken the hint and pursued it.

“We just had smoothies together!” Lily replied.

“Just let things develop naturally. Sean’s a good guy. Oh, speaking of which, Sean’s also at A1 Seafood Restaurant. Let me call him over,” Carlisle said as he picked up his phone to dial Sean’s number.

Just as he picked up his phone, he received a call from Sean.

Carlisle answered, “Sean, I was just about to call you. I’m with-”

Before he could finish, Sean’s urgent voice came through the phone. “Carl, we’ve got trouble with someone. Hurry up and come he
