Chapter 123 Lawrence quickly went over his life as a soldier from recruitment to retirement. At the stime, he gave the students slessons in patriotism. Then, he briefed them on the training schedule. They would train from 7:30 am to 11:30 am and then from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
At the end of the training, there would be a bonfire party.
Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. Lawrence said, "Training starts tomorrow. Since it's your first day tomorrow, I hope to see all of you present half an hour earlier than scheduled. Gather at the field at 7:00 am sharp. Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir." The students didn't look too happy at having to gather a whole hour earlier than the ttheir classes usually started.
"Are you guys starving or something? Louder!' Lawrence barked.

"Good, Dismissed!" He strode out of the class with his hands behind his back.
“Ugh. I hate military training!" Phoebe slumped on her table, putting her jaw on top of it. She looked glum.
Wanda pouted.."Me, too. The sun's been shining so brightly lately-I know I'm gonna get a sunburn after the training!" They'd already been through military training during high school. Though her family had treated her like a princess when growing up, she wasn't the coy type and had never complained no matter how tough things got. She was actually fine with getting sunburnt.
Now, however, she was a little worried. She wasn't particularly pretty, and the only thing that made her stand out amongst the prettiest students on campus was her fair skin. If she were to lose that advantage, would Carlisle be disdainful of her? The thought of that made Wanda's eyes turn a little red. She pinched Carlisle's arm and said with grievance, "You can't scorn me, Carlisle..." "Huh? Why would I do that?" He grabbed her hand and played with it.
She pulled it back like she'd been zapped. Then, afraid he would take it the wrong way, she explained in at soft voice, "We're still in class!" Carlisle rubbed his nose and smiled. "Answer me, then. Why would I scorn you?" "Well... even if I get a sunburn from the military training, you can't get mad at me!” she mumbled as she lowered her head.
Carlisle was happy to see how cautious she was. He said tenderly, 'I'll never be disappointed or mad at you, silly." His tenderness got Wanda right in the heart. Tears filled her eyes, but they were tears of happiness. They overwhelmed her. In truth, she was easily satisfied-even a simple promise or a small expression of love DE Chapter 123 was enough to make her happy.
"God, could you two stop being so sweet?" "I've had enough. Enough!" Behind them, Phoebe's deskmate, Tim Weal, couldn't take it anymore. He gave them both reproachful looks.
Wanda blushed and slumped on her desk, no longer daring to look at Carlisle..
2/2 The next few classes were for them to self-study. Most of the students didn't have cell phones, so they focused on their studies.

Soon, it was noon. Wanda wanted to have lunch with Carlisle but Queenie el called her when class was almost over and invited her out.
Queenie was Wanda's future sister-in-law, so she agreed to leat with her so they could get to know each other better.
Carlisle headed to the cafeteria alone. He'd just taken his seat after whe getting his food when Gordon called him. "Hey, Dad." Gordon asked grimly, "Are you dating a young lady named Wanda Thompson?" Carlisle stopped eating. He frowned and asked in return, "Did someone say anything to you?" Chapter 124 Chapter 124 X
