Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 403 "Max, you shouldn't think that way.

"Carlisle has never once tried to ask us for any kind of repayment! "He does need investment funds, but he didn't cto us. I'm the one who approached him because I need to earn back the money that I lost! "In other words, I'm the one who needs Carlisle to helpmake money! He isn't the one who needsto invest. He can earn 200 million in a month, and although he may be short on money right now, that doesn't mean he will remain in that state! "Besides, do you really think that Lethan and Shania won't be able to get 200 million? They're Wanda's relatives! Carlisle can always collaborate with them on this project!" Gareth said in a rush.

Max drank his beer in silence. Then, he asked, "You mean to say that..." Gareth burst into laughter. "You already know the answer, don't you?" Max sighed. "Maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm no longer able to keep up with how you youngsters think. You know who your grandfather and father are. With them as backup, you can do very well for yourself in Yorksle!" Gareth took a sip of beer. He leaned back in his chair and gazed night sky wn at th as he murmured, "I once said that I wanted to create my own future and rely on no one but myself. If I use their connections, I'd just be hurting others and myself!" Carlisle and Wanda got out at Willow Grove. Wanda suddenly clutched at her stomach and frowned. She said piteously, "Carlisle, my stomach hurts..." "You probably ate too much spicy food. I'll take you to the hospital to get a checkup!" Carlisle stuck out his hand to flag down a cab.

Wanda blushed and stammered, "I... I... My..." "Are you on your perjod?" Carlisle suddenly realized what was going on.

Right before their college entrance exams, he had once helped Wanda buy period pads, and he remembered that it had also been around the 20th at the time.

Wanda was in so much pain that she was crouching on the ground, and there were tears in her eyes.

Carlisle felt his heart ache as he crouched beside her and ruffled her hair. "I'll take you to get spads and ibuprofen!" There was a pharmacy and convenience store nearby. It was only about two to three minutes away. Wanda was pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "I-I'll go hfirst!" Carlisle nodded. He picked her up and walked into the neighborhood.

Wanda put her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest. She gritted her teeth as she endured the pain.

Carlisle felt his heart twist painfully when he looked down at Wanda and saw how much she was suffering. He said remorsefully, "I'm sorry, Wanda. I forgot that you were on your period. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you eat so much spicy food!" Wanda got cramps if she ate spicy food while she was on her period.

They reached the 9th building in Willow Grove.

Melanie had cover to Callie Bonde's rented apartment after classes. Callie sat next to her at university, and she needed to borrow Callie's computer to do sresearch. She still hadn't had dinner.

Callie's stomach was also rumbling with hunger, and she didn't know how to cook, so she dragged Melanie out to have dinner with her.

As they walked toward the elevator, Callie asked curiously, "Are you saying that Carlisle is actually Prince Heath's secret boss? That's impossible, right? He's only in his first year of college! He's barely out of puberty!" Melanie frowned and said, "Don't be so shallow!" Callie was pretty, but she could be rather tactless sometimes. She often had no filter and said whatever was on her mind.

Callie had only just found out that Gabriel was the deputy chief of police. She did not doubt Melanie and asked, "I heard he played the guitar and sang 'Rest of My Life' at the bonfire party last night, which moved many people to tears." Yesterday had been Callie's father, Vernon Bonde's, birthday, so she had taken the day off after 4:00 pm.

Melanie sighed and said, “As soon as you left, I got a call from my dad tellingthat my grandmother had a stroke due to a cerebral infarction, so I took the day off." Callie looked pityingly at Melanie.

She took out a thousand dollars in cash and gave it to her. "Things are hard for your too. Your mother's been paralyzed for so many years, and now your grandmother has had a stroke. It probably costs a lot to take care of everything. There's not much. I can help with, so just take this money and use it for now!"

Melanie pushed her hand away and forced a smile, saying, "No, you've already helpedso many times. I can't take your money anymore.

Besides, Dad warnedto never accept money from others, no matter what!"

Callie forcefully stuffed the money into her hand. "Your father's a good, law-abiding man. He doesn't want you to take money from shady sources, but money fromis just a gift between friends!" Melanie held the cash, and her eyes reddened slightly. She thought about the so- called friends who had betrayed her for money.

The elevator reached the first floor.

The two of them walked out and bumped into a man carrying a woman.

"Wow... That woman is so lucky!" Callie immediately cried out in amazement.

The man looked pretty young, but he was very handsome..

How would it feel to be carried by a handsman like him? Callie wanted to experience the sthing! X
