Chapter 14

“Thank you for treating me well for the past two years!” Sarah said shyly

Those unaware of the situation might even think she was about to confess to Carlisle.

However, the person at hand, Carlisle, answered impassively, “Just say what you want to say. Don’t

beat around the bush!”

Sarah tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears. She smiled sweetly and said, “Actually, I just

wanted to tell you I won’t accept your confession even if you get accepted into Riverland University!”

“Are you alright? Don’t tell me you still believe I’m trying to get into Riverland University for your sake?”

Carlisle was amused by Sarah’s words.

Was his attitude toward her for the past month not clear enough?

“I know that you don’t want to admit it. But it’s alright, I only wanted to tell you what I think! Although

your results have improved drastically with Wanda’s help, you’ll only be able to enter a Tier 3 university

at most.

“It would be a miracle if you managed to enter a Tier 2 university. So, don’t even fantasize about joining

Riverland!”

Sarah’s tone was condescending, and her expression was filled with arrogance.

Suddenly, Sean slammed his fist on Carlisle’s desk. He sounded furious when he said, “Sarah, how

can you be so shameless?

“What did Carlisle ever do to you? Why must you say such hurtful and condescending words to hurt his

pride?”

As Carlisle’s good friend, he knew how well Carlisle had treated Sarah,

Ever since Carlisle fell for Sarah, he stopped going to cybercafes and became stingy and frugal.

How could Sarah treat Carlisle that way?

She had no feelings for him. Yet she continued to enjoy Carlisle’s goodwill.

Now that things were ending, she still wanted to hurt Carlisle and discourage him. She was basically

trying to destroy him.

“What do you mean by “hurt his pride? Does he even have any pride left in him? Would he have read

his love letter aloud to the entire class if he had any pride left?”

Sarah shook her head in disdain

Then, she turned to look at Carlisle, only to realize he looked calm. He didn’t look like he was about to

blow a tantrum because of his words.

She found it strange. How did he manage to remain impassive after hearing those hurtful words?

“Are you done?” Carlisle asked as he looked at her with a heavy gaze.

“I’m not done yet! Let’s make a bet. What if I agree to go out with you if you manage to get admitted

into Riverland University?”

There was an amused smile on Sarah’s face. It was as if she was sure Carlisle would not be able to

enter

Riverland University.

She wanted to see Carlisle put in his all, only to fail.

“Alright!” Carlisle agreed with a smile.

Sarah froze slightly. She never expected Carlisle to agree with her

that much?

But it didn’t matter.

id he really lack self–awareness

Carlisle will never ever be able to gain admission into Riverland University. She wouldn’t bat an eye at

him.

even if he did.

“Then we shall wait and see!” Sarah said with a smile. Then, she carried her bag and left the

classroom.

Most of Sarah’s close friends were standing by the classroom’s door. They circled each other and

began

to laugh.

“Carl, are you alright?” Sean asked as he massaged Carlisle’s shoulders.

“I’m fine! I have a great mentality!” Carlisle said with a smile.

He knew what Sarah wanted to say when he noticed her walking toward him.

He could have ignored Sarah, but he still chose to talk with her, just like before.

In his past life, he had put in all of his efforts. Yet he still failed to enter Riverland University. In the end,

the whole bet had become a joke in his classmates‘ eyes.

Even after many years, some of his classmates would talk about the bet to humiliate him.

He had agreed to Sarah’s bet because he wanted to see her eat her own words when he managed to

enter Riverland University.

Their class had ended much earlier today. Hence, Hilda and Gordon weren’t home when Carlisle

reached

home.

He went to the fridge to take out a can of Coke before sitting on the sofa while he enjoyed the fan’s

breeze.

He anxiously opened Wanda’s letter.

Was it a love letter?

Probably not. Right?

It was probably a letter of encouragement.

The second he opened the letter, he noticed that the letter had been written neatly and gracefully.
