You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 140

"Okay."

However, seeing that Valerie Rae didn't say anything, Skylar Holland didn't press her any further. After all, he didn't care about Valerie's affairs. Valerie was a little unhappy when she saw that her plan had failed.

She had no choice but to turn the phone over and said, "Elsa sent me a photo just now. I don't know whether I should show it to you."

"Whatever."

"Why don't you take a look?"

Valerie passed her phone to Skylar so that he could see it.

Skylar lowered his head slightly and glanced at the photo on the mobile phone. His indifferent expression suddenly froze,. His face darkened, but he did not speak.

Valerie looked at Skylar and said nothing. She took the phone back and said, "Maybe Franklin is just worried about Miss Chariott. That's why he's having dinner with her."

This sentence aggravated the whole affair.

"It's none of his business."

Skylar said with a gloomy face.

Deep down, he believed that Coralie had been absolutely loyal to him. However, he was also worried because Franklin Moore was excellent in all aspects. He felt uneasy in his heart. As they were eating, Skylar became more and more restless. He knew where the place in the photo was.

It was a small restaurant that he frequented with Coralie back when they were in college.

Why was Coralie there with Franklin then? What did it mean?

"I'll head out for a bit."

Skylar got up and was about to leave.

Valerie certainly knew where he was going. She struggled to get up, walked to Skylar with her prosthesis, pulled the corner of his shirt, and said, "I'll go with you." She knew that she must go with Skylar.

Otherwise, given Skylar's character, it was very likely that he would drive Franklin away and stay with Coralie.

She definitely did not want this to happen!

Skylar thought about how he had left Valerie at home previously and causing her to attempt suicide. He had no choice but to nod his head, "Alright."

Coralie and Franklin finished the meal and paid for it. It only amounted to 90 dollars.

Since he was the son of a wealthy family, Franklin felt a little embarrassed by the scant amount, "It's still early. Would you like me to walk around with you?"

Coralie looked at him and said with a smile, "It's okay, Young Master Moore. Thank you for your offer. And also, thank you for telling me about the driver and treating me to dinner. If you had treated me to an expensive meal, I would have feel pressured by it."

"That is to say, if I could lessen the pressure on you, then you would spend time with me next time?"

Franklin looked at Coralie and thought of asking her out again in the future.

"No, she won't."

Before Coralie could answer, Skylar had arrived in the car.

Coralie raised her head and was met with Skylar's tall figure standing at the door. Her heart ached. She wanted to run away at that instant. At this moment, she felt as though she was caught cheating on her husband.

"Hey, President Holland, what brings you here?" Franklin got up and stared at Skylar. He then peeked at Valerie, who was behind him, "Does Mrs. Holland enjoy food from a small store like this?" Straightforwardly, he referred to Valerie as Mrs. Holland.

However, Coralie felt her heart aching.

"Please refrain from addressing other people incorrectly. Legally speaking, Coralie is still Mrs. Holland."

Skylar could only say so for the time being.

Coralie stood beside Franklin and said nothing.

"President Holland, I don't think that it's a good idea to have two girlfriends at the same time."

Franklin scoffed.

The owner of the restaurant was standing at the side at this moment. Of course, he recognized Skylar. Back then, his daughter was so infatuated with Skylar's charm and she would prattle about him every day. Looking at this scene, he thought that they had just broken up and they had brought their respective new partners here to show off.

He tried to act as the peacemaker and said, "Alas, young men, please calm down. Everyone has a past. We must learn to let go of the past and move on. Only then will life get better. Just like my store that's going to be torn down, although I am unwilling, it's not something that I could control. Why don't we all look forward? Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Am I right?"

"Right, right, I think you're right," Franklin grabbed Coralie's wrist and pulled her away from the commotion. He waved at Skylar and said, "President Holland, you must learn to let go of the past. Only in this way could you go on with your new life."

Coralie was frightened when Franklin grabbed her all of a sudden. She withdrew her hand swiftly and glanced nervously at Skylar, but she still walked away with Franklin.

She realized that even if they had no chance to be together anymore, she wouldn't want Skylar to misunderstand her.

Skylar stood there clenching his fists. He really wanted to drag Coralie back to his side.

"Skylar, they're gone."

Valerie reminded Skylar.

"I know," Skylar was sitting at the same table as Coralie was just now. He told the owner, "Boss, I'll have the fish and chips and mashed potatoes."

They ordered the same dish.

It was their favorite dish when they were in college.

The boss glanced at Skylar and then at the direction where Coralie had disappeared to. It seemed that he had caught on to something and he could not help shaking his head.

Franklin dropped Coralie at the entrance of her community.

As soon as Coralie got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure in front of her. A mother with a child was in sight.

The child was wobbling on the pavement.

"Josephine?"

Coralie shouted from behind.

The mother turned her head and saw Coralie standing behind her. She was equally surprised to see her, "Coralie, why are you here?"

"I was going to ask you the same question."

Coralie didn't expect to meet Josephine Lowell here. It had been a while since she last saw her.

"My parents live in this community. I brought my child here to spend some time with them for a few days."

Josephine explained.

Josephine's family was actually well-off. However, her parents didn't agree to her marriage with Andrew Jordan. Josephine was the one who insisted on getting married to him. Therefore, no matter how badly Andrew treated Josephine, she would not go back to her parents' home and complain to them.

"I just moved in here with my mother and brother."

Coralie shared her current situation with Josephine.

"Then you and Skylar..."

"Please don't ask. You know that it's impossible for an ordinary girl like me to marry into a wealthy family, right?"

Coralie laughed at herself.

She often imagined that things might have taken a different course if her family was rich.

However, it was always the same. There were no 'what if's in life.

"But I think that Skylar likes you very much... He always gives off that impression... How could he..."

"How are things between you and Andrew?"

Coralie swerved away from the topic because she didn't want to talk about Skylar. She was more concerned about Josephine.

After all, they were close friends back in college. Coralie had been worried for her when she saw how Andrew had treated her the last time.

"He... is still the same. I mean, he's earning a little more from his streaming activities. He has also signed with a group and participate in their activities..."

Although Andrew seemed to be doing better, Josephine's face was somehow a jumble of sadness.
