Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

A wave of emotions swept over Carlisle, making him want to pull her into his arms. 

“How much do you need?” Wanda asked with her head lowered. She felt her palms sweating under Carlisle’s intense gaze. 

The cab driver cleared his throat and said, “Miss, be careful. Don’t get scammed!” 

Carlisle raised an eyebrow and threatened, “Could you just drive? We’re paying for a ride, not a chat. Do you want the fare or not?” 

The driver shrugged. “Hey, is it even proper for you to borrow money from a lady?” 

Carlisle felt a blush creeping up his cheeks. If it weren’t for the circumstances, he wouldn’t have wanted to ask Wanda for money either. 

Wanda puffed up her cheeks and retorted, “My boyfriend is–starting a business. It’s normal that he needs money!” 

Carlisle looked at Wanda in surprise. Did she just admit he was her boyfriend? 

The driver rolled his eyes but didn’t argue further. 

If it weren’t for the fact that Wanda seemed naive, he wouldn’t have bothered to say anything. 

Fuming, Wanda said, “Carlisle, let’s get out. We’re not riding with him anymore!” 

Carlisle nodded, took out a bundle of crisp hundred–dollar bills, and handed one to the driver, “Stop the car. This is for the fare, no need for change.” 

The driver was momentarily stunned. Then, he chuckled nervously and said, “Sorry for what I said earlier. I didn’t mean any harm. It was just a friendly reminder!” 

Carlisle said calmly, “Don’t judge without knowing the whole story. You might offend someone easily that way.” 

“Got it, got it. I won’t do it again!” The driver smiled apologetically. 

Carlisle squeezed Wanda’s hand gently and said, “Don’t be upset. The guy was just trying to help.” 

Wanda pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes involuntarily drifting to their entwined hands. 

Leaning closer to Wanda, Carlisle whispered, “Wanda, you said I was your boyfriend, didn’t you?” 

Wanda’s eyes widened at his tease, and she jerked her hand back. “Y–you… I didn’t mean… When did I say. that?” 

“Maybe I’d misheard.” Carlislé sighed as if disappointed. 

“Yes, that’s right. You’ve definitely misheard,” Wanda said with a blush. 

She had only blurted out that sentence in a moment of panic.

Carlisle couldn’t help but smile at the shy Wanda. She practically treated him like a boyfriend but was still 

too shy to admit it. 

However, love was a delicate matter. It was best to let it develop naturally. 

Besides, there were people secretly trying to keep him away from Wanda. 

Until those obstacles were dealt with, he needed to maintain some distance from her. 

By midnight, Wanda had drifted off to sleep. 

Carlisle carefully rested her head on his shoulder to make her more comfortable.
