You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 47



Chapter 47

"Well, mom, didn't I tell you that I had a boyfriend when I was a sophomore? He was that person, but

this was all in the past,"

Coralie Chariott said to Hera Jean while helping her cook.

"That's good, that's good."

Hera felt at ease.

After dinner, Hera fell asleep early due to her physical condition. Coralie cleaned up the house before

returning to her room. She sat in front of the writing desk and found her marriage certificate. Her eyes

were teary.

Coralie looked at the photo of the two of them on the marriage certificate. Only then did she notice that

Skylar Holland was smiling when the picture was being taken.

Although it was a light smile, he looked handsome.

"Skylar, I've spoken so harshly to your mother. We can't possibly be together, right?"

Coralie muttered to herself as she looked at Skylar in the photo. She felt as if an invisible force had

seized her heart, and she felt a sense of suffocation.

"You'll eventually marry someone who's on par with your family, and I... I'll be alone..."

Skylar had entered her life twice, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to move on and love

someone else in the future.

Coralie took out her cell phone, found Skylar's number, and sent him a text message.

"Let's meet up sometime soon, and have a good talk."

She could feel that her fingers were trembling when she sent this message. At this moment, Coralie

really understood her feelings.

The feelings that were buried for so many years in her heart had already been rekindled at some point.

However, it's useless. They were not destined to be together.

Coralie looked at the screen of her phone, waiting quietly for his reply.

She was not sure when she fell asleep.

When Coralie woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Instinctively, she glanced at the phone screen, but there was still no reply from Skylar.

Coralie placed the bank cards, marriage certificate, and the household registration booklet that Skylar

had given her before, inside her bag. If Skylar came to her at any time, she could go through the

formalities with him then.

......

On the first day of work, Coralie wanted to thank her manager.

After all, if her manager hadn't called her home when she was detained, and said that there was

evidence proving her innocence, her mother might have collapsed due to her anxiety.

On the way to the manager's office, Coralie saw Corrine Quincy with a box in her arms.

The wound on her face was scarred, but it wasn't completely healed yet.

When Corrine saw Coralie, her look of depression turned into resentment. "Coralie! Don't be so proud!"

"Well, I'm not proud at all."

Coralie could no longer be pleasant to Corrine.

She remembered how scared she was when she stood on the balcony of the sample room and looked

on as Corrine jumped off the balcony.

She recalled the desperation that she felt when she was being held by the police and no one believed

her words.

Also, during the three days she was detained, she had no idea what happened outside. She was fearful

of being framed, and she was afraid that she might be sentenced to jail for intentional assault.

All this was due to Corrine's own act of jumping off the balcony.

"Coralie, do you think that Skylar will be with you because he has feelings for you? Let me tell you, he

will end up with his childhood sweetheart, Valerie Rae, no matter who he likes!"

Corrine held the cardboard box containing her things and looked at her in a fierce manner.

"Well, I know this."

Of course, she knew about Valerie.

From the day she heard of Valerie's name, when Grandmother Holland had left the hospital, Coralie

knew that Skylar belonged to Valerie, and not to her.

"You know this? You don't really know, do you? Skylar is just playing with us. Don't think that you are

more special than me. You are just a tool when he's lonely."

Corrine knew that she might never see Skylar again. She might not even see Coralie anymore. This

was her only chance to provoke Coralie!

"Yes."

Coralie stood there without any reaction.

"Anyway, if I can't get close to such a wealthy family, then you don't need to think about it either. Even if

you are Mrs. Holland now, you will be pushed out after Valerie returns."

"You should think about yourself first."

Coralie's expression was cold. After witnessing Corrine jump off the building and experiencing all of the

subsequent trials, she was mentally stronger.

After Corrine was done speaking, she ignored her and walked toward the manager's office.

After getting the manager's permission, she went inside.

"Manager Johnson, I'm back at work."

As soon as Coralie entered the manager's office, she spoke first.

Manager Johnson was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw her coming in, he spoke politely,

"Oh, Coralie, it's good that you're here."

This incident had resulted in Coralie staying, and Corrine leaving. It was very obvious which side Skylar

was leaning toward.

"I came over specifically to thank you, Manager Johnson. I'm very grateful that you called my family

during the time I was detained, so my family felt reassured."

Coralie stood in front of Manager Johnson's desk and thanked him respectfully.

After hearing what she said, Manager Johnson thought for a moment and then remembered that he

had called her family a few days ago. He said quite naturally, "That phone call, it was President Holland

who asked me to make the call."

"President Holland?"

"Yes, President Holland of Skyton Corporation."

Manager Johnson thought in his heart, "Was there another President Holland!"

"Skylar?"

"Yes."

Coralie's heart skipped a beat. Did Skylar ask him to call her family?

He did this...

"Ah, okay, I know now. Anyway, thank you, Manager Johnson. Sorry to disturb you."

Coralie was about to leave the office, but Manager Johnson stopped her.

"Coralie, since Skyton Corporation has acquired our company, we are under their leadership. If you Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

have any issues in regards to your work, you can talk to me directly."

Manager Johnson's intentions were obvious. Coralie was officially seen as Skylar's woman, so he had

to take care of her.

"Ah? Thank you, manager."

Coralie did not catch the meaning behind Manager Johnson's words. At this time, she was thinking,

"Why did Skylar do this?"

It seemed unlikely for him to be concerned for her family. Was he such a caring person? Was he

thinking of her and concerned for her?

Coralie felt confused when she returned to her desk.

She had decided last night that she would not have any further contact with Skylar in the future.

However, she thought differently when she heard Manager Johnson's words.

There was no way for her to calm down.

She kept speculating why Skylar did this.

Was he specifically concerned for her, or was it just a perfunctory gesture?

"Ding-dong."

Just as Coralie was feeling distressed, her cell phone rang.

She lowered her head and saw the screen of her phone lighting up. There was a text message on it.

"I'll pick you up after work."

Skylar was the sender of this message.
