Chapter 120
That wasn’t right. Carlisle was the one taking advantage of Wanda!
She puffed out her cheeks and looked up at him. “You’re the one who purposely stopped…”
She didn’t finish her sentence. The way Carlisle stared intently at her made her stop. Under the dim lights, the moonlight cast on her face through the tree branches. Her red lips gleamed delectably.
Carlisle gulped, unable to stop himself from leaning down to kiss her. Wanda widened her eyes in surprise
as her heart raced.
She wondered if Carlisle was going to kiss her. This was her first kiss! Should she reject him? She thought that she couldn’t let this happen. He’d yet to confess his feelings to her, so she wasn’t his girlfriend yet!
But… if she were to turn him down, wouldn’t she be just like Sarah?
After a round of mental struggling, Wanda slowly lifted her head and shut her eyes tightly. She was going to throw caution to the wind. This would be Carlisle’s first kiss, too–she wasn’t losing out on anything!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the square nearby. It made Wanda jump in surprise and turn to look at the square.
There was a crowd at the square, and fireworks were being set. They exploded in the night sky in a flurry of colors, lighting it up momentarily.

Carlisle lay on the grass with his hands behind his back. He crossed one leg at the knee and wiggled his toes as he looked up at the sky with his eyes half–shut.
“Wow!”
“Kiss her! Kiss her!”
The crowd at the square started cheering and whooping. A couple hugged each other and shared a kiss.
Wanda’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Look, Carlisle! That’s so romantic!”
He asked lazily, “Is that a hint for me?”

“What? No, of course not! Don’t overthink this!” Wanda shook her head vigorously.
Carlisle smiled without saying anything else. He already had It planned out–on the day he confessed his feelings for Wanda, he would light enough fireworks to make Riverland’s sky light up like it was daytime.
