You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 137

Skylar Holland was frightened by the sight. He immediately got down on one knee and tried to help

Amelia Harington up, "Auntie, please get up."

"Mom! Get up quickly."

Valerie Rae was also anxious.

However, Amelia refused. She looked at Skylar sadly, "Skylar, I have never pleaded with anyone.

However, Valerie is my only daughter. If anything happens to her, my husband and I will lose the

reason to keep living."

"Auntie, I know, but marriage is not to be decided so arbitrarily."

Skylar said quickly.

In fact, he knew that he couldn't retain another woman in his heart at all, at least that was the case

now.

If he had any romantic attractions towards Valerie, he wouldn't have waited so long for it. The spark

would have taken place a few years ago, maybe even more than ten years ago. After all, they had

been close for so many years. However, there was no such chemistry between them.

"I know that it's selfish for me to say so. But if it wasn't for Coralie, Valerie wouldn't have ended up like

this. She's a good girl and she won't cause you any trouble. Please allow me to be selfish just this

once."

Amelia refused to get up. She wanted to force Skylar into an ultimatum. If she didn't push him to his

edge, her daughter might really die someday.

Valerie wanted to cry when she saw Amelia in this state. She begged, "Mom, get up. I will not be so

reckless in the future. I won't do it anymore. I'll stay alive for you."

She was encumbered by the drip, but she still wanted to get out of the bed and stop Amelia from

kneeling.

Harvey Felton stood at the door and shook his head when he was met with this scene.

Skylar said, "Auntie, if you're going to keep on kneeling, then I'll kneel with you here. But if you demand

an answer from me now, I'm sorry to tell you that I can't promise you anything. This is about Valerie's

life. I can't make such a hasty decision."

As he spoke, he started kneeling on the ground with both knees.

Amelia was his elder, so it was not a shameful sight to kneel before her.

The situation was in a stalemate.

In the end, Valerie did not care anymore. She wanted to pull out the drip and kneel with them. Harvey

rushed in with two nurses and stopped Valerie. Then, he said, "For the sake of the patient, I hope that

everyone could discuss this matter in a proper way. Otherwise, it will bring a negative impact on the

patient's recovery. If there are any sequelae, you will regret it."

Upon hearing this, Amelia was frightened. She stood up immediately and Skylar followed after her.

Valerie saw that Amelia had finally gotten up. She then told her, "Mom, stop forcing Skylar. He... he

likes Miss Chariott. If he doesn't want to marry me, then please don't force him."

Amelia was unhappy with such a response, but she still said gently, "Love could be cultivated through

time. Besides, it's important to match families from the same level and status. Skylar, I think that you

must have realized this by now. You have married Coralie and everything might seem fine for a while.

But slowly, issues will surface, and that includes your parents' thoughts. I don't have to say it out loud.

You know what I'm talking about."

In fact, Amelia's words were not completely wrong and Skylar understood the cruel reality.

It was already chaotic when Lillian Ford found out that Skylar had married Coralie. The impact would

be on a whole new level if his father were to hear of this news.

Skylar didn't answer Amelia's question and headed straight out instead.

......

Skylar sat in Harvey's office in ghostly silence.

"Skylar, I think that you have to admit defeat now."

Harvey, who had witnessed the whole process, shook his head repeatedly.

"She lost a leg. It's my duty to marry her." Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar lowered his head.

Harvey looked at Skylar and said, "We grew up together, and while I'm not into gossiping, Coralie is

definitely a better match for you than Valerie. Valerie is too sly and scheming. I can't even figure out

between her real and fake self."

No one knew this better than Skylar.

However, he couldn't do anything about it.

"I drove Coralie away. She probably won't come back."

"Are you for real? You must be out of your mind!"

Since Skylar and Harvey were best friends, he told Harvey about the photo.

Harvey searched for the photo from the Internet. He looked at the censored face and frowned, "Could

you really tell that the lady is Coralie just from this alone?"

"Yes, it must be her, and she admitted to it herself."

"Did she admit that she had sex with Franklin?"

"No."

Skylar shook his head.

The words that Coralie said before she left kept ringing in his mind. That nothing happened between

Franklin and her.

"Why don't you trust her then?"

Harvey's question threw Skylar off his feet.

He sat there looking at Harvey. After thinking for a long time, he broke the silence, "I have decided to

marry Valerie. Maybe it's better for me to not believe in her."

Only when he chose not to believe in her that he would be able to drive her away so easily.

Only in this way could he be at ease and take on the responsibility for Valerie.

"You do know that you will regret this decision someday!"

Harvey was at a loss for words at this absurdity.

......

Coralie took her things and went back home. She didn't tell her mother and her brother that she had

separated from Skylar. She went home on the pretense that Valerie had fallen ill and Skylar had to take

care of her.

During the weekend, the landlord suddenly contacted Coralie and told them that his son was getting

married and that he would take this house for himself. Therefore, they had to move out within a month.

Coralie tried to negotiate with the landlord, but the landlord was firm in his decision. She had no choice

but to take Wayne Chariott to look for a new place to stay.

However, after two weeks of room-searching, they were still left empty-handed. Suddenly, an idea

came to Coralie's mind, "Wayne, shall we buy a house instead?"

"Buy a house?"

"Yes!"

Coralie felt that it was okay to buy a house that was situated a little farther away as long as it was close

to the subway.

Moreover, the contract between her and Skylar had reached its end. With that, the five million dollars

belonged to her now. It would be better if she were to buy a house for her mother to stay in since she

was getting older. Then, they would not have to move around like a nomad anymore.

Although it was not easy to rent a house, buying a house was much hassle-free.

Moreover, the houses on the market were all well-decorated and sophisticated.

Coralie, Wayne, and Hera hired an agent and found a house that was built in the southern suburbs.

The environment of the whole community was pleasant, and there was an elderly activities center

nearby. Although there were people residing in it, the community was clean and the cars were neatly

parked.

After humming and hawing, Coralie decided to buy the house. She only needed some furniture before

they could start moving in.

This time, she procured a small house with three bedrooms and a living room. Everyone in the family

would have a room of their own.

Two weeks later, Coralie bought all the furniture and had them delivered to the new home. They

managed to move their things from their old house to the new one before the deadline that was given

by the landlord.

The new home was located in a place where Skylar would never be able to think of. It was really out of

sight, out of mind now.
