You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 61

"Oh."

Skylar Holland's expression seemed indifferent.

"I think you can cultivate a good relationship with Valerie, if she comes here to live."

Seeing that Skylar did not respond, Lillian Ford continued to strike while the iron was hot.

Coralie Chariott held the cup in her hand, but her heart was aching. Valerie Rae coming to live here

meant that she and Skylar were going to be separated.

"I don't think that's necessary. I have nothing to do with her. How can she get married after living here

with me?"

Skylar answered.

It seemed like he was trying to distance himself from Valerie.

"What do you mean when you say that's not neccessary? Valerie and yourself agreed to get married

since you were children. Valerie has loved you for more than 20 years. You won't turn against her, will

you?"

Lillian did not give up.

"We all know what happened in the past. I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Yes, I shouldn't have mentioned this. Even though such a big thing happened in the past when others

thought that you had dumped Valerie, you were as nice to her as always. If it weren't for this, Valerie

wouldn't have followed you wholeheartedly."

When Valerie was in her senior year in high school, she fell in love with a punk outside the school for

some reason. She slept with him and even got pregnant.

This matter was known to all.

However, Skylar did not respond to this. Everyone thought that this was the love Skylar had for Valerie,

but only Skylar himself knew that he didn't have any inner turmoil when he heard about it.

For him, Valerie was just a younger sister.

However, Skylar knew that Coralie was inside. Out of respect for Valerie, he did not say much.

"That's enough, mom. We'll talk about this when Valerie gets back."

Skylar had been busy for the whole day, and he didn't have the mood to discuss these things with

Lillian.

"You, now you are stubborn. When Valerie comes back, you will see who is good and who is bad. You

wouldn't need me to persuade you at all."

The main purpose of Lillian's visit today was to tell Coralie that Valerie was coming back soon, and let

Coralie know that her happy days are not long.

"I'm tired."

Seeing that Lillian didn't want to give up, Skylar simply went upstairs.

Seeing her son go upstairs, Lillian didn't chase after him. She already expressed what she had in mind,

so she didn't ridicule Coralie in the kitchen. She left in a smug manner.

During this whole process, Coralie had been hiding in the kitchen. She did not dare to go out.

After a long period of time, she went upstairs to the study and asked Skylar, "Would you like to have

dinner? I'll prepare the meal."

"There's no need for that. I've already eaten in the company."

She only got a cold response in return, but Coralie still didn't give up. "Well, can you accompany me for

dinner this week?"

She understood that it was very likely that Skylar's relationship with her would be over, if Valerie

returned.

Just this week, she wanted to do whatever she liked.

Initially, Skylar's head was lowered, but when he heard Coralie's words, he looked up at her with a

questioning expression and asked, "Why?"

Why?

Coralie was stunned by this question. Why?

That's right. Why did she always ask for so much?

"I'm sorry. Never mind then."

Coralie closed the door and comforted herself. This wasn't a bad situation either.

......

The following Wednesday, Valerie would be returning.

Coralie thought about this matter for a long time. After work, she did not return to Golden town, but she

returned to her rented house.

She wanted to give them space.

"Coralie, you're back."

Before getting off work, Coralie had already sent a message to Hera Jean, telling her that she will be

coming home for a period of time.

"Mom, did you miss me?"

"I sure did." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

In the past, when Coralie was married to Howard Schultz, she did not have time to come home. This

would last for a few months. Now, it was not too bad. At least she could come back quite often.

"You can rest for a while. Mom will prepare dinner later. When Wayne comes back, we can have

dinner."

"It's okay. Mom, let me help you."

"No, you can have a rest. You must be tired after a day's work."

"Sure enough, mom's always the best."

Coralie ran to the sofa to rest, but she still remembered to praise Hera.

Although Hera was a bit old-fashioned, she was a good mother.

Coralie sat on the sofa, and she scrolled through social media absent-mindedly.

"I wonder what Skylar is doing now. Has he met up with Valerie?" Thinking of this, Coralie suddenly felt

very sad.

Perhaps everything would be like what Lillian had said. When Skylar saw Valerie, he would know who

he should choose.

After a while, Wayne Chariott came back and saw Coralie sitting on the sofa. He said, "Coralie, I saw

Skylar when I took the bus today."

"Oh."

Coralie didn't want to continue on this topic. In fact, she didn't want to hear any news about Skylar.

"He went into a jewelry store with a pretty woman. Is there anything between them?" Wayne did not

realize that Coralie was avoiding his question. His only thought was to uphold justice for Coralie.

The word "cheat" was on his lips, but he did not say it.

"Really?" Hearing this, Coralie's heart ached, but she still pretended to be indifferent. "A close friend of

him came back from overseas. That's what he told me."

"That's good. I knew that Skylar wouldn't be that kind of person."

"Well, I'll go to the toilet."

Coralie got up and went into the toilet. She needed to manage her chaotic emotions in a space where

no one could see her.

"Coralie, they were initially going to get married. You only appeared in his life because of Grandmother

Holland's poor health. It's a fake relationship anyway. Don't think too much about this."

Coralie stood in front of the mirror and muttered to herself, as if she was reminding herself of this.

However, Coralie couldn't help but feel disappointed even though she tried her best not to think about

this matter.

"Ding-dong."

As Coralie gave herself this warning, her cell phone rang. It was Xenia Lowell.

"What's going on between Skylar and you? I saw that Valerie has returned home today, and she's

posting her pictures in our group chat."

Below, there was a screenshot.

Valerie wore a diamond ring of at least three carats on her slender finger.

There was no caption, but in Coralie mind, there were a thousand words.

"I will explain to you when I have time. I have nothing to do with him,"

Coralie quickly replied.

"That's good. I just saw her message in the group chat. She is trying to get Skylar to marry her. I don't

know if he agreed or not, but everyone thinks that he will agree to her proposal."

Xenia's message came with screenshots from the group chat.

Coralie shut herself in the bathroom and did not reply to any messages. Instead, she sat there and kept

telling herself, "Valerie is the perfect match for him. They belong to each other."

However, the more she tried to convince herself of this, the sadder she became.
