You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 54

"Baby, you're my only one..."

When they were almost home, Skylar Holland's phone started to ring.

"It's so late."

When Skylar heard the phone ringing, he complained at first, but when he saw the name on the phone

screen, his slightly irritated expression immediately disappeared and became gentle.

Coralie Chariott sat next to him, and she could see the change in Skylar just by turning her head. At the

same time, she also guessed who was calling.

"Hello."

"Skylar, are you sleeping?"

"No, I'm not."

Perhaps the night was too quiet. Coralie sat in the passenger seat and she could clearly hear a sweet

female voice from the phone.

When Skylar replied to her, his voice became gentle.

It was completely different whenever he spoke to her.

Every time Skylar talked to Coralie, he was always cold. He usually gave orders or looked down on her. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

However, the way he spoke to Valerie Rae was totally different. There was even a hint of tenderness in

his voice.

"Well, I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply. I guess you were too busy."

"Yes, I was busy."

"Then, I forgive you. It's almost 11 o'clock on your side, right?"

"Yes, it's 10:35 p.m..."

The space inside the car was small, and Coralie did not want to hear the conversation. She wished she

could hide.

When she heard Skylar's gentle and slightly tender voice, Coralie's heart seemed to twitch. Her love

and admiration for him, and her desire to be loved in return, was suppressed by her low self-esteem as

she continued to compare herself to Valerie.

It was impossible for her to fight with Valerie, and she did not have the right to do so. She was not

qualified to fight with Valerie.

"I'm only here for bringing good luck," Coralie thought to herself.

Coralie repeated this sentence in her mind to make sure that her heart, her feelings and her actions did

not cross the line.

However, the more she tried to suppress them, the more her emotions surged.

"Well, you should rest early. Don't work too hard, or I will feel bad for you."

When Valerie said this, Skylar spoke softly, saying "Good night" before he hung up the phone.

Every sentence was so gentle, and Coralie could only yearn for such admiration from him.

She couldn't help feeling jealous. Although she had no reason for this, she was still jealous. Everything

seemed to be spiralling out of control...

Skylar hung up the phone. He looked at Coralie, who was burying her head quite low. Her shoulders

trembled slightly. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Perhaps he was still in character. When he asked Coralie this question, his voice was still gentle.

However, Coralie's heart ached badly.

"Stomachache." Coralie clenched her hands and tried her best to suppress her tears. "I ate too much

just now. Can I walk back by myself?"

She needed to calm down.

"We'll be home soon. Let's wait until we get into the neighborhood."

Skylar didn't notice anything strange about her. Perhaps he didn't focus on her at that moment.

The car stopped at the gate of the neighborhood.

"Thank you. I will come back later."

After Coralie finished speaking, she got out of the car without looking back and walked quickly into the

distance. She had just left for a few meters when tears flowed down.

It was almost November, and the weather was quite cold. Coralie walked alone in the neighborhood

and found a small pavilion to rest. She laid on the table and cried quietly.

She really hoped that she would cry it all out today, so that she could accept her own identity in the

future. She would never think about this and she would never be sad again.

Coralie stayed outside for more than half an hour and dried her eyes, before she went into the house.

Skylar was still watching the news in the living room.

Seeing her come in, he said naturally, "Valerie called me just now."

He seemed to be explaining something.

"Actually, you don't have to tell me this. I know my identity. I don't have the right to intervene in your

affairs."

Coralie suppressed her emotions and said this in a calm tone. She hung her coat on the hanger and

said, "I'm sorry. I'm a little tired today. I want to go to bed first. Good night, President Holland."

She wanted to escape. She was afraid that Skylar would pull her over and tell her about Valerie.

If that happened, she might not be able to take it.

Skylar initially wanted to say something, but when he heard the words "President Holland", his

expression suddenly cooled down.

......

Skylar did not lie to Coralie. As expected, Grandmother Holland came to their house during the

weekend.

"Granny, I'll help you to sit down." Grandmother Holland was pushed into the house as she sat in a

wheelchair. As soon as she entered the room, Coralie quickly helped her to the sofa. "Granny, I'm

going to make some tea for you. Please wait a minute."

"Thanks, Coralie."

Seeing Coralie and Skylar living together, Grandmother Holland felt reassured.

After all, there were rumors going around that Skylar had wed Coralie just for luck. In other words, they

were a fake couple.

"Is Skylar not home today?"

"Well, he went to work."

In fact, after that day, Skylar basically came home very late every day. Today was the weekend, but he

still chose to go to work.

However, Coralie felt reassured by this. After all, if she didn't see him much, she could stop

overthinking.

"This child! Can't he forget about work once in a while!"

Grandmother Holland had always been on Coralie's side.

"It's okay. The company's affairs are more important."

That was all Coralie could say to defend Skylar.

As soon as she placed the tea down, the doorbell rang again.

"Why did Skylar return so early?"

Coralie whispered to herself as she opened the door. Very few people would come to Skylar's house.

She thought that Skylar had returned, so she didn't think much about this and she opened the door.

Lilian Ford was standing at the door. She was wearing a purple coat and carrying a large black leather

bag made from crocodile.

"Skylar, you..."

Lillian was also not expecting to see her. When the door opened, she thought that Skylar would be

there. She didn't look carefully and wanted to rush in.

However, when she noticed the person standing at the door, her expression, which was initially

cheerful, turned ferocious immediately. "Coralie! Why are you in my son's house?"

Her voice was terribly loud.

"I..."

Coralie knew that Grandmother Holland was in the house, so she didn't want to get into trouble with

Lillian. Moreover, the relationship between Lillian and herself was getting worse due to the previous

incident.

"I know. You're here to seduce my son, aren't you?" Lillian pointed at Coralie and said rudely.

"No."

Coralie thought that she should get Lillian to leave quickly, so that Lillian would not say something

wrong later and cause Grandmother Holland to find out that her relationship with Skylar was not real.

"No? Let me tell you, Coralie. I have never seen such a shameless woman like you!" Lillian said. She

entered the house, and shouted, "Skylar! Skylar!", as she walked in.
