Chapter 69
“Wanda, you don’t have to give me the change. Just keep it for next time!” Phoebe grinned.
Wanda blushed slightly. “Okay, let me know when you want to call next time!”
After a while, Carlisle and others entered the classroom with textbooks in bags. They had gone back and forth several times since there were many textbooks.
September in Riverland was similar to June, so they were sweating profusely. Susan bought them some iced Coke as a reward.
Carlisle returned to his seat and used his notebook to fan himself.
Wanda took out a pack of tissues from the drawer and offered it to him, whispering, “Are you exhausted? Wipe your sweat!”
He looked at her tenderly and teased, “Wipe it for me!”
‘Dream on!”
She blushed and pursed her lips before rolling her eyes at him. He then took out a tissue to wipe away his
sweat.
“Someone messaged you!”
Wanda continued to read her notes taken in the first class after reminding him.
“Who’s it?”
I
“I haven’t read it. I don’t know either,” she responded indifferently.
Carlisle took out his phone and looked at it. It was a message from Sarah.
“Carl, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together. Enna will come over, too!”
Although Wanda was reading her book, she secretly glanced at the message from the corner of her eye.
It was indeed from Sarah. She called him so intimately and even invited him to dinner.
Wanda pursed her lips and continued to peek at Carlisle’s phone screen. She was curious how he would
respond.
He texted, “Sorry, I don’t have the time. I have something to do tonight!”
She smiled slightly as she saw how he responded to the message.
In Finance Class 3, Sarah swiftly texted, “You don’t have to treat me this time. Dinner is on me today!”
Wasn’t it only a meal? Why was Carlisle being stingy?
Inexplicably, she missed the high school Carlisle, who had been loyal to her.
“My lesson is starting. Bye!”
Carlisle didn’t even bother to explain. He closed the phone cover after replying.
Wanda felt satisfied and smiled in joy.
He leaned over and asked, “Wanda, why are you smiling?”
“Huh? Am I smiling?” She blinked her clear eyes innocently.
“Perhaps I saw it wrong Carlisle also smiled.
“You must have been too tired and had hallucinations! By the way, I’d like to find Lily for dinner tonight. Do
you want to come with me!”
After all, Lily had been her deskmate for three years in high school. She didn’t hold a college entrance celebration, nor did she attend any of her classmates‘ college entrance celebrations.
It was the beginning of the university year. Wanda wanted to meet Lily, whose university was close to Riverland University.
Carlisle paused before responding. “I may not have time at night.”
“Okay.” Wanda lowered her head in disappointment.
It turned out that he wasn’t looking for an excuse to reject Sarah. He was indeed not free tonight. If he had time, he might agree to have dinner with Sarah.
“I have a friend who came from Rainville. I’ll need to look for a long–term stay for him tonight!”
Carlisle thought Wanda was disappointed because he declined her invitation.
“That’s fine. Just go ahead with your business.” Wanda smiled forcefully before continuing to read her notes in silence.
Carlisle smiled bitterly. She was still young. It was normal for her to overthink.
When he was madly pursuing Sarah in his previous life, he also overthought like Wanda.
“I can follow you to find Lily for a meal tomorrow!” Carlisle whispered.
“Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday!”
“What about the day after tomorrow?”
“That day is my brother’s birthday!7
“How come your brother and your sister’s birthdays are only one day apart?”
“She’s my future sister–in-law!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“How about two days later?”
“Let’s talk about it later!”
