You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 66

Looking at Coralie Chariott's bitter expression, Valerie Rae achieved her goal.

However, Coralie didn't know that Valerie had told Skylar Holland that she had taken a fancy to a dress Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

and wanted him to buy it for her when she was abroad. Skylar only credited the money into her bank

account and she bought the Galaxy dress with this money.

In a way, this dress was indeed a gift from Skylar.

However, Skylar only knew about this when he arrived at the banquet.

"Birthday boy, come and cut your cake!"

Someone was shouting.

At the same time, the waiter pushed out a large layered cake.

The next second, all the lights went out, leaving only the lights on the ground, the candle flame, and the

bright decorations around the platform. Then, the birthday song filled the hall.

Skylar got up and went to cut the cake, followed by Valerie naturally.

Coralie sat in the first row and watched Valerie standing next to Skylar. Under the candlelight, the two

of them seemed to be a real couple.

She felt dispirited, but she knew she had no right to feel this way.

She wished that Skylar hadn't prepared the same dress for her, and that he had a more indifferent

attitude toward her.

She would prefer Skylar not to give her any hope.

"Come here, Coralie."

As Coralie was watching Skylar and Valerie cut the cake, her eyes became teary. A gentle voice could

be heard in her ear all of a sudden, and then her wrist was pulled up by a man.

After Coralie got up, she discovered that Franklin Moore had dragged her up.

"You..."

"Coralie, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Franklin, and I'm your husband's nephew."

Franklin looked at her, and his eyes were twinkling.

Coralie couldn't see him clearly in such a dark scene.

"Oh."

Coralie did not respond. She just wanted to pull her wrist out of Franklin's palm.

"Can you dance?" Franklin approached Coralie and whispered in her ear.

"No, I can't."

"You see, Valerie has taken over your seat as Mrs. Holland. Aren't you angry?"

Franklin said in a playful manner. He looked at Coralie with thousands of possibilities in his eyes.

In one glance, you'd know he was a playboy, an expert at flirting with girls.

"I am not angry. Besides, things between the both of us are not what you think."

Coralie avoided his gaze and looked guilty. How could she not be angry? How could she not mind?

However, who was she to care?

They might seem to be on equal terms when both of them had their make up done, but their education

backgrounds and family backgrounds meant that she would never be able to stand on par with Valerie.

"I'm angry. We will dance when the lights are on. We'll be the second to enter the dance floor,"

Franklin said in his unique and flamboyant voice.

He seemed to be completely different from Skylar.

"No!"

Coralie resisted his offer subconsciously. Although she was offended, she did not want any

misunderstandings with Skylar. If she danced with another man with the identity of Mrs. Holland, she

would not have any chance to be with Skylar anymore.

However, Franklin saw through all of this. He looked at Coralie with a slight sparkle in his charming

eyes. "Don't you know that men like popular things?"

Coralie was stunned by his words. She looked at Franklin and asked with some doubts, "Why are you

doing this?"

They just met each other, didn't they?

"Because..." Franklin placed his face close to Coralie, and he looked at her playfully. He paused for a

while and said, "After today, I might consider telling you."

Although Franklin didn't tell her, Coralie felt that everything was related to Valerie.

She felt that Franklin was perhaps Valerie's suitor.

......

All of the lights in the hall lit up again.

Franklin pulled Coralie into the crowd. She saw Valerie standing very close to Skylar. Valerie seemed to

have noticed that Coralie was missing, and she searched for her in the crowd.

"Now, it's time to dance!"

The host invited everyone to join in.

Everyone's eyes fell on Skylar.

Skylar looked at the seat where Coralie was sitting, but at this moment, there was no one there.

Valerie had already discovered that Coralie was missing. She said in a bashful voice, "Skylar, everyone

is waiting for you to dance. Why don't you dance with me first and I'll explain to your wife later."

At first, Skylar hesitated. He wanted to wait for Coralie. After all, Coralie was the real Mrs. Holland. It

was improper for him to dance with Valerie.

However, at this time, Valerie had already held his arm.

"Uncle, we're waiting for you."

Franklin came out from behind the crowd and shouted at Skylar.

When Skylar looked over, he purposely pulled Coralie close to him with his arms.

"No, forget it, forget it, I don't want to dance anymore."

Coralie looked up and happened to see Skylar looking at her. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

When she looked at his face, she suddenly felt that she didn't want to anger him. She didn't want him to

misinterpret the situation, so she wanted to retreat.

Moreover, Skylar didn't dance with Valerie, did he?

But at this moment, Skylar bent over, extended a hand, and made a gesture of invitation to Valerie.

It was as if the prince was inviting the princess to dance.

Valerie placed her hand in his gladly.

The next second, the music began to play.

He pulled Valerie into the dance floor, put his hands on her waist, and danced with the music.

Coralie stood in the same place and witnessed all of this. Her heart, which was hopeful before, lurched

suddenly.

She saw Skylar whispering to Valerie and she reacted in a joyful manner. Her whole upper body

leaning against Skylar's as if she'd been jerked out of her bones.

They were so intimate.

"Why don't you give me a chance?"

At this time, Franklin imitated Skylar's gesture and invited Coralie to dance.

As Coralie was still hesitating, he grabbed her hand immediately. He pulled her into the open space in

the middle of the banquet hall. He placed his hand on her slender waist and started dancing with her.

In fact, Coralie really didn't know how to dance, but he was a good partner. Looking at Coralie who was

at a loss, he whispered, "Relax. All you have to do is follow my lead."

Skylar knew that Coralie was not good at dancing. In the past, they had both participated in dance

parties when they were in college. At that time, Coralie kept apologizing to Skylar throughout the

dance.

But now, Skylar could see that Coralie was dancing very well under Franklin's guidance.

"Skylar, do you know that I missed you so much while I was abroad?"

As she spoke, Valerie suddenly stood on tiptoe. She kissed Skylar on the lips while he was looking at

Coralie.
