You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 33

"It seems that you've become more sensible recently." Skylar said.

Skylar pulled himself together, putting on a cold facial expression and then looking at Coralie.

"What?" Coralie uttered. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You knew I was acting just now, so you took the initiative to take your hand back. I thought you would

keep it on for a while more." Skylar said.

Hearing this, Coralie smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, I have been tormented by you so many times. If I

don't learn to be smarter, my self-esteem will be trampled by you. In fact, there is barely any left."

In actual fact, she was actually reminiscing the warmth of Skylar's hand in her palm.

So as soon as the principal left, she quickly pulled back her hand. She was afraid that if she continued,

it would make her flustered and make him look down on her even more.

"Well, it's good that you know." Skylar replied.

Hearing this answer, Skylar felt a little uneasy. Coralie's words seemed to suggest that this was all

caused by him.

But in Skylar's view, everything happened because Coralie dumped him back then

Otherwise, everything would have been different.

The two of them went downstairs in silence. When they arrived at Skylar's car, he asked, "When did

your brother get sick?"

He wondered why he did not hear about it from Coralie at all.

Coralie did not mention it. Perhaps, she really did not treat him as her own.

"A while ago."

She did not explain it clearly.

"Is it serious?" Skylar asked.

"It was OK, it was a deep burn. Fortunately, it was on his back. He has already undergone a transplant,

and have just been discharged from the hospital."

Coralie answered seriously.

"Well, if he has any problem with his studies, you can contact me." Skylar said.

"Okay." Coralie uttered.

The two of them spoke in a very strange way. If someone was listening to them, no one would believe

that they were a married couple.

Skylar drove off after sending Coralie to the community gate.

"Sister! Tell me, my eyesight is fine, isn't it?"

As soon as Coralie got out of the car, Wayne came out of nowhere and patted her on the shoulder.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Coralie snorted.

"It's Brother Holland who sent you back just now, isn't it? Am I right?" Wayne exclaimed.

Wayne was very excited. After all, Skylar was the best brother-in-law in his mind. Now that Coralie

came back in his car. "Did this mean that the handsome and rich husband that Coralie mentioned in the

hospital, is in fact Skylar?" he wondered.

"Well, I ran into him and he gave me a lift home." Coralie replied.

Coralie was calm. She could not let any one else know about the deal between her and Skylar,

especially her own brother and mother.

If they knew that she had sold herself to Skylar for that sum of money, they would blame themselves.

Wayne did not believe in her explanation, so he continued questioning "How could it be so

coincidental? You went out for business and came home early, and he went home early too?"

"You should think more about your studies with that little brain of yours. You will soon return to school.

Since you have been absent for so many classes, you should think about how to make up for it. Don't

worry about me."

Coralie said to Wayne with a smile.

It was a deliberate change of topic.

Wayne accompanied her to buy vegetables, but he still pestered her all the way.

Coralie did not respond to him at first, but while she was in the elevator, she said seriously, "Wayne, I

am indeed married to Skylar, but the relationship between me and him is not of an ordinary husband-

wife relationship, so you must keep this from Mom, understand?"

She knew that if she did not say it clearly, Wayne would definitely continue asking until he got his

answer.

Looking at his sister's expression, Wayne was a smart child and knew that his sister really had her own

secrets, "Well, sister, I won't tell anyone. If you are willing to tell me one day, then tell me."

...

During weekends, it was rare for Coralie to have a rest. She wanted to accompany her family, but she

received a message from Skylar.

He only sent her a location to the restaurant and added, "Room 666, 18: 30 pm."

Apart from that, there was no other information. Coralie sent a message to ask him what she needed to

do, but Skylar did not reply.

Helplessly, Coralie had to find a plain beige dress in the wardrobe and went to the appointment wearing

a pair of heels wedges.

Because their marriage was kept low profile, there were not many occasions that required the presence

of Mrs. Holland.

Coralie assumed that it was a dinner with the Holland family.

However, when she entered the designated room in the restaurant, she found that there were only two

chairs and two sets of cutlery in the large room.

Skylar had already arrived.

"This is..." Coralie was confused.

Coralie looked at the empty private room and two empty chairs. She asked Skylar who was sitting on

the sofa in the private room.

"Let's eat." Skylar uttered.

When Skylar saw her coming in, he moved from the sofa to the chair. With a gesture, he ordered

Coralie to sit down.

There was no other way. After Coralie hung her bag on the hanger by the door, she sat down.

"Oh." Coralie replied.

Coralie did not dare to ask further and sat down obediently.

The restaurant's signature was their Italian cuisine. Not only was the portion very small, the price was

extremely high. Coralie would never in her life imagine that she would dine in a restaurant that could

not satisfy her appetite even after a few dishes.

Seeing the waiter serve the dishes one by one, Coralie only dared to eat silently.

During the whole dinner, both of them did not say anything. At most, it was just a simple greeting. The

atmosphere was so awkward.

Only after they had finished eating and were on the way home, Coralie could not help but ask, "Why

did we have dinner together tonight?"

She thought about it for a while and couldn't figure out the purpose of today's dinner.

"It's too boring to eat alone. I just wanted you to eat with me."

Skylar said lightly.

There was no change in his expression.

"That's it?" Coralie queried.

"Yes, that's it." Skylar affirmed.

Coralie could not believe it. She couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you look for Corrine?"

“Didn't they have a good relationship? Skylar is so considerate that he even picks her up from work

every day.'' Coralie thought. It was absolutely puzzling for Skylar to ask her to have dinner with him.

"Do you want me to go find her?"

Skylar asked her. His hand held the steering wheel tightly, as if he was venting out his frustration.

"No."

Coralie answered without hesitation.

Although her position was petty, she could not deny that deep down, she still longed for Skylar's

attention.

She hoped that one day she would see Skylar waiting to pick her up from work, not Corrine.

However, she knew that she was the one who proposed to end their relationship at the beginning. Now

they only had a contractual relationship . She had no right to complain about how Skylar treated her.

All of a sudden, Skylar stopped the car on the side of the road. grabbed Coralie by the chin. His gaze

was burning. "If you beg me, I will break up with Corrine tomorrow." he said.

It was an abrupt sentence without any context.

But it was superior and mighty.
