Chapter 235

Joy sparkled in Carlisle’s eyes as he admired the photos.

Even Leon’s candid shots held an artistic flair and showcased his keen eye for photography

The second photo showed Wanda and Carlisle in an embrace.

Wanda’s arms were wrapped around Carlisle. Her body was nestled into his chest as she faced the bridal shop. A gentle smile played on her lips, clearly content in the moment.

Four photos were shot in total, but only two distinct scenes were captured.

Leon chuckled awkwardly,

“I hope you don’t mind that I took these without asking…”

Wanda shook her head enthusiastically.

“Not at all. These are amazing!”

The photos were not only beautifully taken but also managed to capture tender moments between her

and Carlisle.

She couldn’t object to that.

Carlisle praised Leon, “Your photography skills are excellent. When Wanda and I visit Yearning Island later, we’d love to hire you to take more photos for us!”

Wanda looked at Carlisle. She was surprised and pleased. He had voice

her thoughts after seeing the

photos on the wall precisely.

Leon hesitated slightly.

“Well, my rates are a bit on the higher side!”

Carlisle inquired, “How much?”

Leon held up his hand, splayed his fingers, and declared, “Five hundred dollars! Plus, you’d cover the

travel expenses.

“That’s quite a bit.”

Wanda frowned slightly, tugging at Carlisle’s sleeve.

“Maybe we should just forget about it. Other photographers from photo studios only charge about two hundred bucks for a session!”

“We’ll go with five hundred dollars!” Carlisle responded without hesitation.

He knew that even though modern cell phones were equipped with cameras, their 3000–pixel resolution often resulted in less–than–ideal image quality.

To him, spending five hundred dollars to capture their beautiful moments clearly was worth the

investment.

Leon hadn’t actually been keen to take on the shoot, so he had quoted a higher price, hoping to deter

them.

Surprised by Carlisle’s quick acceptance, he smiled reluctantly.

“Alright. Give me a moment to get ready.”

He stood up to gather his equipment.

Wanda pouted, looking at Carlisle incredulously.

“His rates are really high. Are you crazy?”

Carlisle took her hand gently.

“We’re creating beautiful memories, and their value transcends money.”

Charmed by his perspective, Wanda gazed into Carlisle’s deep eyes and agreed with a resigned nod.

“Fine. You’ve convinced me.”

She then pulled out her phone and began snapping pictures of the photos on the table, her laughter filling.

the air.

“Lily bombarded me with relationship goals last night, so today it’s my turn!”

As they waited, Carlisle took out his phone and texted Lethan.

“Mr. Warbane, when is Wanda’s birthday?”

A plan was forming in his mind.

He had initially intended to confess his feelings to Wanda that day and enlist Cameron and Owen’s help

to create a special setting.

However, he realized that circumstances wouldn’t allow them to be together immediately, even if he

confessed now.

Opting for a more memorable occasion, he decided to wait and confess his feelings on Wanda’s 18th birthday instead.

He decided to confess at Riverland University, wanting to make it known to everyone there that Wanda was his girlfriend.

This second chance at life had taught him to seize every moment.

Lethan’s reply came soon after.

“November 9th. If you’re considering celebrating her birthday, I’d advise you to drop that idea. Her coming- of–age ceremony is going to be a big event at Riverland.”

Carlisle texted back, “Alright. Thanks, Mr. Warbane!”

Lethan then shifted gears, sending another message.

“I’ve established Holly Fisheries. I’m currently planning to invest ten billion. You hold 20% of the shares
