Chapter 51
Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell
âForget it, Sean!â
Carlisle patted Sean on his shoulder. This was a time when evildoers hadnât been completely
eradicated.
No one was willing to offend those criminals.
That being said, Seanâs words guiltâtripped them.
âDonât cry, Lily. Itâs more important that youâre safe!â
Carlisle had changed the tragedy that he had foreseen. Lily had survived. This was the silver lining.
âMy school fees are gone. Without that, I wonât be able to attend university⦠What should I do?â cried
Lily.
She sat on the ground with her head buried between her knees.
She had 4000 dollars in her bag. 3000 dollars was from the hard work that her parents put in by
working
day and night for half a year. The other 1000 dollars was from her grandfatherâs sale of their cow.
Carlisle spoke up, âIl put in the money for your school fees firstâ¦â
After all, Lilyâs past had changed because of him. Helping out with her school fees was his way up for
the guilt he felt in his heart.
Lily looked up at Carlisle. She was tearyâeyed. âYou have that much money?â
of making
Carlisle smiled and replied casually, âI earned some money from gaming over the summer holidays!â
Lily looked at Sean doubtfully. In a croaky voice, she asked, âIs what Carlisle said true?â
A smile broke on Seanâs face. âYeah. Heâs a rich man now!â
âBut⦠I might only be able to pay you back after a long time!â
Lily started crying even harder. She didnât interact with Carlisle much. Even so, he was willing to fork
out the money for her school fees first.
It was not a small amount. Even if she worked partâtime, it would probably take her years to pay him
back.
âThereâs no rush in paying me back. Wait till you get a job next time!â
Carlisle didnât think of having her return the money. He even decided to include her in his moneyâ
making
plans in the future.
After a moment, the police arrived. Carlisle and Sean accompanied Lily to make a report and get her
statement taken.
After that, they returned to town for dinner.
Carlisle made a trip back to the hotel to take 5000 dollars from his luggage. Although it wasnât
considered
a small amount during this time, he didnât feel the pinch at all.
At the seafood restaurant, Sean ordered eight dishes in one go.
Lily was stunned. She knew that Sean had a good family background. But wasnât this over the top?
How were the three of them going to be able to finish eight dishes?
âMister, you hurt your arm. Do you want to go have your wound cleaned?â a waitress asked politely.
She had noticed the scratch on Seanâs arm.
âItâs just a minor injury. Itâs no biggie!â
Sean waved his hand. Then, he added, âIâd like to add a shrimp gumbo!â
The waitress asked, âAre you waiting on anyone else?â
Sean nodded. âOne more person!â
The waitress was taken aback. âOnly one more person?â
They ordered nine dishes for the three of them. She figured that Sean was born with a silver spoon in
his
mouth!
At this moment, Sean realized that he might have ordered too much.
He thought of canceling a few dishes but was afraid of being looked down on by the waitress.
Lily was sitting next to him. So, he linked arms with Lily and boasted, âIâm treating my girlfriend to a
meal. Whatâs wrong with ordering a few more dishes?â
Lily widened her eyes immediately. She blushed. She wanted to push Sean away but was afraid that
sheâd hurt his pride.
She was reminded of the scene where Sean leaped ahead to save her. She flushed red and lowered
her
head.
âSorry, Iâm sorry. I misspoke!â the waitress apologized immediately.
Such a situation has indeed happened before. There were those who were old money who ordered
more than ten dishes for themselves!
After the waitress left, Carlisle opened the door to the private room and walked in.
He saw that Sean had linked arms with Lily. He smiled slightly and commented, âGood on you, Sean.
Itâs only been a while, and youâve managed to chase Lily?â
Sean turned red. He retracted his hand immediately and stuttered, âLily⦠Sorry⦠I didnât mean to!â
Lily had flushed red in embarrassment. She hung her head low and mumbled, âIâItâs alright!â
They were both very shy. They hung their heads down low and didnât say a word.
Carlisle took out 5000 dollars and put it on the table in front of Lily. âHere are your school fees, Lily!â
