Chapter 288

Wanda was doubtful. She shook her head and said, “I don’t believe it. You always sang out of tune during high school.”

Carlisle pinched Wanda’s cheek with a smile. He did it gently, In fear of hurting her. “That was when I was

in high school, now I’m in college.”

Wanda smiled and requested, “Then sing me a few lines.”

She was curious about the song written by Carlisle.

Carlisle hesitated. “Do you really want to listen to it now?”

Wanda nodded. “Yes, I’ll see how good your singing voice is, so that you won’t embarrass yourself on

stage.

“Alright then.”

Carlisle cleared his throat and started to get into the mood.

This was a very heartfelt song. The song would lose its essence if it was not sung with utmost emotion.

Carlisle began to sing. “I wish to laugh with you, dance with you, and hold you in my arms…”

Wanda was fascinated the moment Carlisle sang with his deep and magnetic voice. She covered her

mouth with her hand and stared straight at him.

Unfazed, Carlisle continued the song. “One second we’re arguing, and in the next we’re laughing…”

Wanda’s gaze remained fixed on Carlisle.

The lyrics and melody of this song were indeed heartfelt. It relayed what a boyfriend would want to say to his girlfriend.

Carlisle soon reached the chorus.

“For once, I want to live with you forever. We can laugh on sunny days, and argue freely on colder nights. Do you know the only thing I want…”

“The world is large, but I’ll go anywhere with you. Don’t worry, my dear. We’ll grow old together, just you and I. Do you know that my heart beats for you..

Halfway through the song, Wanda was already teary–eyed,

This song was like a confession, but it also expressed regret. Carlisle’s singing made her feel happy but pained.

She threw herself into Carlisle’s arms and cried. “Carlisle, did you write this song for me?”

Carlisle embraced her lightly and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I wrote it for you. I planned to perform it during the bonfire party, but since you want to listen to it now, I sang it to you first.”

Wanda felt touched as she raised her head and said, “The song is so good. Sing it again at the bonfire

party. I haven’t had enough yet.”

Her fringe was stuck to her face because of her tears. Carlisle smiled and tidied up her hair. “Sure, I’ll sing it to you if you want to listen to it.”

He was really gentle.

As Wanda listened to Carlisle’s gentle and magnetic voice, she felt like her heart was about to melt.

Looking at Carlisle’s bobbing Adam’s apple, she suddenly had an urge to bite on it.

Carlisle was also feeling aroused at this moment.

It would be a shame not to kiss in such an atmosphere.

He lifted Wanda’s chin and slowly lowered his head toward her lips.

Wanda did not resist this time and closed her eyes.

However, someone began clapping when they were about to kiss.

Wanda immediately opened her eyes and turned to look at the source of the sound.

There was a young man in his twenties sitting on the railing under a broken street lamp not far away.

There were several liquor bottles scattered on the ground beneath him. He had obviously been drinking

there.

“Let’s go.” Carlisle pulled Wanda as he walked forward.

The young man asked in a Yorksle accent, “Hey dude, did you write that song? It was amazing!”

Carlisle ignored him and continued pulling Wanda forward.

The young man jumped off the railing, caught up with Carlisle and Wanda, then stood in their path.

This person was drunk, and there were no surveillance cameras around. Carlisle shielded Wanda behind him and asked with a frown, “What do you want?”

“Dude, I mean no harm…

When he realized the two of them were wary of him, the young man backed off and smiled amiably. Carlisle noticed the Rolex on the young man’s wrist, and he didn’t look like a gangster, either. Only then did he let down his guard. Carlisle asked again, “So what do you want?”

Carlisle certainly would not talk to the man politely as he had Interrupted his kiss with Wanda.

The young man glanced at Wanda next to Carlisle and was taken aback. He only said with a smile, “I still want to listen to you singing that song. I’ll give you 1000 dollars.”
