?Chapter 449
"I''m Carlisle, your husband!"
Carlisle still wore a smile on his lips.
He realized that Wanda''s illness hadn''t been cured. In fact, it seemed to have worsened.
Wanda shook her head and backed away.
Her face was fearful as she said, "I don''t know you. I don''t know you. Stay away from me...''
"Wanda... what''s wrong?" asked Carlisle.
"Wanda..."
Carlisle tried to approach Wanda, but she pushed him away and ran out of the hall. Carlisle quickly chased after her. As soon as he exited the hall, he saw an endless sea before him.
He stared nkly at the ocean in front of him.
This...
Was this a dream?
He turned and looked behind him. The hall had vanished.
"Wanda..."
Carlisle slowly closed his eyes. Tears streamed down his face.
Suddenly, Wanda''s voice echoed in his ears.
"Carlisle..."
Carlisle opened his eyes and turned his head. All he saw was Wanda in her high school uniform as she stared at him with a smile.
"Wanda..." said Carlisle.
He then ran over and hugged her tightly.
"Wanda, I''ve missed you so much!"
Wanda gently patted his back as she replied, "Silly, haven''t I always been here?"
Carlisle choked up.
"This is a dream..."
Wanda chuckled in return.
"Are you silly? How could this be a dream? Would someone in a dream know they''re dreaming?"
Carlisle held Wanda tightly. He feared that she would disappear if he let go. He knew it was a dream, but he simply wanted to hold Wanda a little longer in the dream.
The round rm clock on his bedside table rang loudly. Carlisle''s eyes were startled open.
He turned off the rm and was about to go back to sleep. He tried desperately to recall his dream as he wished to return to it.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t fall asleep again.
Carlisle grabbed the rm clock and threw it hard against the wall.
He had not used an rm clock ever since. He even hated the sight of rm clocks.
After taking a moment to calm down, Carlisle got up and went to school.
Christine and Phoebe were already back in the ssroom. They sat in their seats and were still in a state of shock. They had never thought that the investor Carlisle had found was the same handsome man who casually donated 30 million dors to the school.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Gareth had invested 30 million dors and wanted 30% of SwiftFunds shares in exchange.
Christine, Phoebe, and Jenny discussed it and were only willing to give up 20% of thepany''s shares. Wanting to appear gracious, Gareth agreed without haggling.Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org
"Christine, it''s so easy to talk to Mr. Spencer. He just gave up on 10% of the shares without a second thought!" Phoebe said as she bit on her finger with a smile.
Christine smiled and replied, "This shows how great Carlisle''s reputation is."
Phoebe chuckled.
"I think Mr. Spencer is even more handsome than Carlisle."
With defined brows, bright eyes, and a handsome face, Gareth looked like Prince Charming.
Previously, it was too dark at the bonfire party. The power went outter on, so Phoebe hadn''t really seen what Gareth looked like. Upon seeing him up close, she felt like she was about to fall for him.
With a faint smile, Christine nced at Phoebe and asked, "You like older men?"
Gareth was at least 25 years old, whereas Phoebe had just turned 18 in September. There was quite an age gap between them.
"Mr. Spencer is not that old! He looks very young, so he looks more like an older brother than an older man," Phoebe retorted immediately.
Christine sighed softly.
"It''s over. I''ve lost another one to love!"
Carlisle walked into the ssroom as the twodies were whispering to each other. The
noisy ssroom instantly quieted with his appearance.
Carlisle turned to them and asked, "How much of the shares did Gareth want?"
Phoebe replied, "He wanted 30%, but we only gave him 20%."
Carlisle nodded and started walking toward his seat. After a few steps, he suddenly noticed someone sitting in Wanda''s seat.
