Chapter 20
“What happened to your face?” Lucy asked with a frown.
“The chains on my bicycle broke on the way here, causing me to fall!” Carlisle rubbed his burning face as even his words were slightly slurred.
Lucy didn’t question him further. Instead, she said, “The invigilators
y’s exams are from the
county. Don’t stress yourself out too much, and just take the exam with a calm heart!”
Carlisle quickly nodded. “Alright!”
Lucy patted Carlisle’s shoulders and said, “You should go in. I’ve already prepared a congratulatory gift for you. I’m just waiting for the day your results are released!”
Carlisle laughed, “I was only joking with you. Did you really take my word seriously?”
Lucy’s expression was stern. “I wasn’t joking with you. I told you I would prepare a gift for you, and that will be exactly what I do!”
Lucy had noticed the changes in Carlisle over the past month. He had become one of the rare candidates who had the opportunity to gain admission into Riverland University.
“Alright. I’ll definitely make you proud!”
“Good luck!”
Lucy used her hands to cheer him on as he straightened his back and entered the examination hall confidently.
He sat down on his designated seat.
When the bell rang, the invigilators began to hand out the exam papers.
He quickly flipped through the essay questions and ignored other questions for the moment.
As expected, the theme for the essay was “Variety is the spice of life“.
The essay carried a significant portion of the final marks and would affect his scores greatly.
Carlisle smiled as everyone began to flip through the exam paper.
In his past life, he felt like the world had ended when he saw the exam paper.
But now, he did not feel an ounce of pressure as he read through the questions again. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was too easy.
Carlisle managed to finish the entire paper within an hour. He was the first one to leave the school.
When he went out, he saw many parents holding umbrellas as they stood outside the school’s entrance.
“Why did he come out so early? He probably handed in an empty test paper!”
“He doesn’t look like he’s competent either. I feel bad for his parents!”
“Luckily, he’s not my son. I’ll probably break his legs if he did something like this.”
“Oh my gosh. Gordon, that looks like your son.” A bearded man said as he tapped the parent’s shoulder, claiming to feel bad for his parents.
Gordon had been working part–time nearby. His boss had wanted to wait for their son to finish their SATS and had taken two days off.
So, Gordon decided to join in and went to the school.
Gordon held a cigarette in his hand and narrowed his eyes. Then, he shook his head and said, “That’s not my son. My son isn’t that fat. He also wasn’t wearing that when he went out this morning.”
It was still drizzling, so the student’s face was slightly blurred.
But Gordon was sure that the boy wasn’t Carlisle.
Gordon had been standing by the window as he watched Carlisle head off. He wasn’t wearing that set of
clothes.
However, Carlisle soon arrived at the school gate, and Gordon’s expression immediately changed.
Holy shit, that was his son!
What happened to his face?
He nearly didn’t even recognize his own son!
“Carlisle.” Gordon stood on his tip toes as he waved his hand at Carlisle.
Carlisle saw his dad and quickly went over. “Dad, why are you here?”
Gordon’s expression was sullen as he said, “What happened to your face? Who did you get into a fight
with?”
Although his expression was stern, he felt like his heart was breaking.
He couldn’t even bring himself to discipline his child. How could someone else hit his son?
He would ensure they got what they deserved!
Carlisle quickly explained, “The chains in my bicycle broke this morning, causing me to fall.”
He had already thought of a great excuse before coming out.
Gordon patted Carlisle’s head as he sounded guilty. “It’s all my fault. I should have sent you to school this
morning!”
Almost immediately, Gordon’s expression darkened as he said again, “Why did you come out so early? Did you hand in an empty paper?”
