Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 556

Sean got out of the car and walked to the other side. He pulled the door open like a gentleman.

Lily got out of the car nervously, and her voice shook as she said, "Sean, I'm scared..."

They had only been together for a short period of time, and now she was meeting his parents!

Sean smiled and comforted her. "Don't be scared. Dad won't bite."

Lily pressed her lips together and lowered her head as she walked behind Sean. They went over to Rory.

Sean waved a hand and said, "Dad!"

Behind them, the members of Alumni Network's R&D team spilled out of the cars. They were all wearing black suits and white shirts, carrying expensive gifts.

Rory was still in shock.

Gordon nudged his arm. "What are you doing? Your son's brought your daughter-in-law home with him."

Rory turned and put the whiskey on the ground before straightening his rumpled clothes." Gordon, do I look very messy? Why didn't this fellow tell me before bringing his girlfriend back? I didn't even shave!"

Gordon burst into laughter. "You look alright. You look slightly better than a beggar!"

Rory had a beard, and he was wearing the clothes that he wore when he was working at the dyehouse.

He did look rather disheveled.

Gordon looked again at Carlisle and said, "That woman looks rather familiar. Is she your high school classmate?"

Carlisle nodded and said, "Yes, we were classmates in high school. She came to attend my college entrance celebration."

Gordon rubbed his beer belly. "When are you going to bring a girlfriend back too?"

Carlisle's smile stiffened. "It won't be long."

Gordon suddenly sighed and said, "Carl, you don't blame your mother and I, do you?"

Carlisle looked at his father in confusion. "What would I blame you for?"

Gordon said, "Weren't you dating that woman called Wanda? Your mother and I broke the two of you up."

Carlisle rolled his eyes. "That had nothing to do with you."

Gordon still felt guilty about it. He looked down at his shoes and said nothing.

Carlisle poked Gordon's arm and smiled as he said, "I haven't broken up with her. Just wait. I'll bring her back to meet you two very soon!"

Gordon's jaw dropped in shock. "What if her family doesn't approve?"

Thompson Group was one of the leading enterprises in Riverland.

Carlisle stuck his hands in his pockets and said confidently, "They'll agree."

Gordon wanted to say something else, but Sean brought Lily over to them. "Mr. Zahn, I brought you a gift!"All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Two staff members came up behind Sean and handed an intricately wrapped gift to Gordon. It wasn't worth a lot of money, but it wasn't something the average person could afford, either.

"This is too much." Gordon did not like saying superficial things, so he took the gift, smiling. Lily blushed and asked, "Do you remember me, Mr. Zahn? I was classmates with Carlisle in high school."

"I do remember you! I was just asking Carlisle if it was you!" Gordon chuckled and asked, " How long have you been dating? Sean hasn't been treating you badly, has he?"

Lily blushed even more. "We haven't been dating for long. He's pretty nice, and he's never treated me badly."

Sean interrupted. "Mr. Zahn, Lily and I were set up by Carl! When we get married, we'll be sure to show our gratitude!"

Gordon burst into laughter. "Good, good. I look forward to that day!"

Sean gave gifts to Sylvester as well.

Sylvester's troubled expression had vanished completely. "You've had such a long journey back here. Let's go upstairs and have a drink!"

"Alright! We'll be up at once." Sean answered.

He pulled Carlisle aside and asked in a low voice, "Carl, where's the money I wanted?"

Carlisle crossed his arms over his chest and said teasingly, "You have eight Audis, Mr. Woodsen. Do you still lack money?"

Sean said awkwardly, "My classmate's family owns a car rental company, and I rented these cars. As for the money for the gifts, I got a year's salary in advance from Ms. Yates."

As if he was worried that Carlisle would think he was being too vain, Sean continued, "Our company's starting to make profits, and we don't come back often. I just wanted to make my

parents proud."
