Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 575

Patrick was utterly bewildered. He wondered how Sharon and Carlisle would suddenly have a lunch appointment together when it was evident that they didn't know each other. Moreover, it seemed like the lunch was

prearranged.

Sharon stammered, unsure how to explain, "I-It's a bit complicated, Patrick. You'd better let it go."

Patrick assumed they might have met on Alumni Network but had not seen each other in person. He figured that would explain why they had arranged a lunch without recognizing each other.

Feeling slightly annoyed, Patrick said in a brotherly, earnest tone, "Sharon, you need to be cautious when dating, especially with online dating. You're too trusting sometimes. You could easily be deceived."

"It's not what you think, Patrick," Sharon quickly explained, blushing at the mention of online dating.

She couldn't fathom his thoughts.

Carlisle could tell that Patrick was interested in Sharon. Although he didn't know much about Patrick, he inexplicably found him annoying.

Feeling mischievous, Carlisle said with feigned heartbreak, "Sharon, that's not what you told me on the phone!" "W-What are you talking about?"

Sharon's eyes grew wide. She had never talked to him over the phone.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Patrick's expression darkened. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at Carlisle.

Suddenly, the elevator chimed, announcing their arrival on the first floor, and the doors opened automatically.

The sight of Patrick's dark expression made sharon so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't listen to him, Patrick. He and I are "

"I think I'll cancel the lunch today and recover what I've given..." Carlisle remarked, his voice choked as he pretended to wipe away his tears.

He then walked out of the elevator without looking back

Sharon stood in the elevator, stunned. She wondered if he had just mentioned reclaiming his money. However, the 200 thousand had already been used to pay off debts. She didn't know how her parents could possibly come up with that amount now.

Sharon regained her composure before hurrying after him.

"Hey, wait! Don't go..."

She didn't even know his name yet.

Patrick watched Sharon chase after Carlisle, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

When Sharon performed "Super Star" on stage at Caltopia College's bonfire party, her sweet voice and stunning beauty had everyone in the audience singing along, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Her name quickly spread throughout the school, making her the most beautiful freshman at Caltopia College.

Later, when Alumni Network launched, Sharon even encouraged 1500 students to register as users, leveraging her popularity. She was hardworking.

Patrick admired her, but he wouldn't call it love yet. Although he had initiated a conversation with her during a friend's birthday the previous night, their conversation was limited to academic issues and future plans.

He had noticed Sharon's gaze was full of admiration when she looked at him, and she clearly enjoyed it when he started the conversation. Just when he thought they were getting closer, this situation regarding online dating came out of nowhere.

As the doors were about to close, Patrick took a deep breath, pressed the open button, and walked out with his head down.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his phone rang. He took out his phone-a silver Nokia 7610. It was considered a luxury item, having been launched that March and priced at 750 dollars. Even though Patrick dressed modestly, his phone told a different story.

"Dad," said Partick into the phone.

"Patrick, come home tonight."

Clifford Simpson's authoritative voice came from the other end of the line.

Clifford's voice immediately dissipated Patrick's desire to go home.

"I have plans tonight."

Clifford said sternly, "Do you remember Wanda, the young lady I mentioned to you?"

Patrick thought for a moment before replying, "She's not good-looking."

Two years ago, Clifford showed him a photo of Shein's daughter, Wanda. He didn't think she was as nearly as pretty as Sharon.

Clifford slammed a fist on the table and retorted angrily, "Does beauty put food on the table? We should look for someone whose family background is worthy of us.

"Besides, don't you know that women could look completely different as they age? It took me a lot of effort, but I managed to obtain Wanda's latest photos. You'll be amazed when you see them!"
