Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Carlisle did a simple sweep throughout the house and began his revision.

Gordon brought Gérard and his family home at around 7:00pm.

“Carl, your uncle is here. Come out and pour some glasses of water for them!” Gordon said with a smile. as he turned toward Carlisle’s room.

“Gerard, Maria,” Hilda greeted them as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

They nodded impassively, whereas their two teenage children didn’t even spare Hilda a glance.

Gerard was wearing a white T–shirt. He held a Samsung flip phone in his right hand and wore a Vacheron Constantin’s watch of the latest model on his left hand.

“Gordon, you could afford a Santana worth 200 thousand dollars, but you couldn’t afford a better house?”

Maria Davidson, Gerard’s wife, asked.

There was a thick layer of foundation coating her 38–year–old face. She was a sharp–tongued woman who only cared about her interests.

“We bought this house so that it’ll be easier for Carl to go to school. I intend to sell this house once Carl

heads off to university!” Gordon explained.

“Wait a minute. Why hasn’t Carlisle come out yet?”

Maria waved her hands for some wind as she looked around the house. Then, she said in disgust, “Why didn’t you install an aircon? Aren’t you all being overly frugal?”

Gordon quickly brought out the standing fan from his bedroom. Meanwhile, Carlisle slowly made his way out of his room to pour them four glasses of water.

“Carl, do you not recognize me?” Gerard asked with a frown.

“I do!”

Oh. Then, who am I? Gerard asked impassively.

“You’re Uncle Gerard!”

“Then why didn’t you greet me and your aunt?” Gerard asked with a tinge of anger.

Maria also said mockingly, “Where did all those years of education go?”

Suddenly, Hilda slammed her knife on the cutting board, causing the sound to echo throughout the house.

Gerard also glared at his wife,

But Maria didn’t seem to realize her mistake as she turned to look at Gordon, who was taking out the

extensions from his room.

Maria said, “A father’s responsibility is to educate their children. But it seems like you didn’t educate your

son properly.”

Gordon chuckled dryly. Tll discipline him later!”

“Did yo “Did you

you educate your children properly? Did Kelly and Xander greet my parents?” Carlisle asked calmly as

he brought the glasses of water over.

“You brat, are you trying to talk back to me?” Maria said furiously.

“I don’t dare to do such a thing. I’m just stating a fact. Aren’t your children receiving special education the city? Why are they so rude then?” Carlisle did not hold back.

his past life, Gerard and his family had not held back in humiliating him and his parents for not getting admitted into college.

His father had knelt and begged his uncle to lend them money when he fell sick in his past life. Not only did Gerard not lend them the money, but he had also beaten his father up. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Gerard also insulted them by claiming that Carlisle had lived long enough and deserved to die.

Such familial bonds were as good as none.

“Are you joking with me? Do you believe you deserve to be compared to my children? My daughter is at the top of her class. It’s only a matter of time before she’s admitted to Riverland University.

“What about you? From what I’ve heard from your father, your results are trash. It might be hard for you to enter a Tier 3 university. People like you are what holds us as a society back!”

Maria was so angry that her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Gordon’s eyes flashed with anger as he listened to Maria’s belittling words.

At that moment, Hilda came out of the kitchen. Her voice was cold as she said, “Maria, you’re a guest in our house, so we’ll welcome you wholeheartedly. But if you come here to fight, we’ll have no choice but to kick you out!”

Hilda could accept Gerard and Maria belittling them. The differences between families were evident after

all.

But she could not accept them mocking her son.

Maria watched as Hilda played with the knife in her hands and gulped subconsciously.

Gerard waved his hands dismissively and said, “That’s enough. Everyone should just keep their words to themselves. Don’t affect the children here!”

“Don’t blame me for crossing the line if you continue to belittle my son,” Hilda said as she returned to the

kitchen.

Maria was so angry that her breath became labored.

Gerard patted her arm and lowered his voice. “It’s not like you don’t know that they’re uncultured. What’s the point in arguing with them?”

Maria felt comforted as she sat on the sofa and enjoyed the wind from the fan.

Carlisle was in his room when he heard his mother’s warm words.

He smiled in amusement. He had not said anything in his past life, so Maria had never crossed the line.

He didn’t expect Maria to be so cruel with his words after he stood up for himself. He also did not expect

his mom to protect him so fiercely.

The two families sat together for dinner at around 8:00pm.

Maria was much quieter than before.

The atmosphere was also tense.

“Kelly, have you also submitted your applications for Riverland University?” Gordon asked his niece with a

smile.

Kelly Zahn seemed confused. “What do you mean by ‘also? Are you telling me Carlisle has also applied

for Riverland University?”

Gordon nodded. “That’s right. It was the only school he had applied to!”

Kelly immediately burst into laughter.

Gordon’s face flushed red as he asked, “What’s wrong? Do you also look down on your cousin?”

Kelly couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “Uncle Gordon, it’s rare for people outside of the city to be admitted into Riverland University.

“Also, when has Carlisle ever had a decent grade for his year? He’s never dared to tell us his results. Yet he had the guts to only apply for Riverland University. It’s hard for me to understand his train of thought!”

In other words, she also looked down on Carlisle.

However, Gordon and Hilda did not know how to refute Kelly as they knew she was stating facts.

Maria was delighted as she looked at Gordon and Hilda’s expressions. She then said sarcastically, “Kelly, stop mocking Carlisle. They might end up kicking us out!”

Xander Zahn, a newbie junior in high school, slammed his spoon on the table and said, “Let them kick us out then. These dishes are horrible. I won’t be missing anything if we leave!”

Hilda’s grip around her fork tightened. She was about to say something when Gordon gave her a warning

look.

So, she had no choice but to swallow her indignance for the sake of Gordon’s pride.

Carlisle ate the food and said, “You’ll find a hotel if you turn left downstairs. I suggest you head over there

to eat!”

Gerard chuckled coldly. “Your dad hasn’t even said a word, yet here you are chasing us out?”

Carlisle sighed in exasperation. “Uncle Gerard, do you think there’s any point in sitting together for dinner?

You’re just here to gloat because you’ve earned a small fortune in the county. Am I wrong?”

Gerard froze when he heard Carlisle’s words.

He didn’t even tell Gordon about it yet. How did that brat, Carlisle, find out about his small earned fortune?

He did earn a small fortune.

His original plan was to come here and belittle Gordon. But he decided to keep his fortune a secret when he saw Gordon coming to pick him up in a Santana.

He had planned to investigate Gordon’s financial situation thoroughly before telling them abou

fortune.

Gordon saw the shock in Gerard’s eyes and quickly got up to pour Gerard a cup of beer. Gordon smiled and asked, “Gerard, did you earn some money recently?”
