You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 200

"Why? Can't wait?"

Skylar stared at the agreement instead of looking at her, his voice was a little hoarse.

"No..."

Coralie's heart tightened when she heard him say that.

She sat down and lowered her head, trying not to show her red eyes from crying earlier.

Just like that, Coralie sat opposite to Skylar.

Although they were no longer husband and wife, Coralie hoped time would freeze forever.

"Look at the agreement."

Skylar pushed the agreement toward Coralie.

As it was afternoon, the cafe was not crowded.

It was unusually quiet.

"I believe you. By the way, here you go." Coralie's gaze fell on her wrist. It was the jade bracelet Grandmother Holland had given her.

As she spoke, she removed the jade bracelet. it was usually difficult to take off the jade bracelet, but it slipped out easily at that moment. Coralie looked at the jade bracelet, a sense of loss pervaded her heart. Perhaps she and Skylar had really come to an end.

"I couldn't take it off no matter how hard I tried before, but it's so easy all of a sudden..."

Coralie laughed at herself. She kept the sad look on her face, put the jade bracelet on the table, and then moved it toward Skylar. "It was my grandmother who gave it to you, I don't have the right to take it back."

Skylar's voice was still very cold, no emotions could be heard.

Even Coralie did not know if he was thinking of her or was indifferent at that moment.

"But your grandmother gave it to her granddaughter-in-law, now I'm..."

"I will not take it back. How many times do you want me to say that?"

Coralie was about to insist on retuning when Skylar suddenly stood up and roared angrily as he slammed the table.

It was as if he suddenly erupted his pent-up anger.

The whole cafe was alarmed by his voice. Coralie was frightened. She took back the jade bracelet and looked at his red eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Was he... crying?

Skylar seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He returned to his seat. However, the atmosphere became even quiet.

Coralie was guessing, could it be that Skylar did not want to divorce her too?

They sat opposite to each other. Coralie's mind was in a mess. The image of Skylar's red eyes popped out in her mind over and over again.

If neither of them wanted a divorce...

If it was possible...

If...

"Skylar, can we..."

"You're my only one, our worlds have changed, it's easier said than done to go back..."

When Coralie finally mustered the courage to say that line to Skylar, Skylar's phone rang. Coralie kept quiet immediately.

At that moment, she wanted to thank the call for cutting off her impulse.

They divorced because there was no other way out, wasn't it?

"Hello, Brother Skylar, you said you would come back for a meeting at 5 o'clock."

It was Valerie's voice.

Coralie couldn't hear what exactly Valerie was saying. However, because the coffee shop was very quiet, she could hear a faint voice coming from the phone. Only Valerie would speak in that tone.

Skylar looked up at Coralie and thought for a moment before saying, "I will get back on time."

Coralie heard what Skylar said, she thought that he was going to go home on time.

She was laughing at herself, thinking she was probably the only one who didn't want the divorce.

"What did you want to say?"

Skylar hung up the phone and asked Coralie.

Coralie shook her head and repeated what she had said before, "Let's get going. The Civil Affairs Bureau is going to close soon."

Skylar knew that was not what Coralie was going to say. He heard the first half of the sentence, he could even guess what Coralie wanted to say.

"Um, did you just ask me if we can call off the divorce?"

"You're overthinking..."

When Coralie heard him repeating her question, she got a little flustered. She held her bag tighter and acted indifferent, but she was actually looking forward to his answer. Coralie walked in the front while Skylar followed behind.

Before getting in the car, Skylar suddenly said, "No."

"What?"

"We must divorce."

Skylar repeated his answer. His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he was a stranger to her.

Hearing that answer, Coralie's heart throbbed. She bit her lip and forced a smile, "I know."

Coralie knew that she was only an episode in Skylar's life.

It was just that.

When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already half past three in the afternoon. As it was almost time to get off work, there were not many people at the door. That divorce was the same as the last time. Since the distribution of assets were clear and they had no children, the procedure for divorce was done very quickly.

Coralie held the divorce certificate in her hand. Her tears, which she thought had ended at the cafe, started to flow again.

However, she didn't want to lose her pride in front of him!

Skylar just made it clear that it was impossible for them to cancel the divorce. What kind of fantasy was she holding on to?

Now that they were divorced, she had to leave with dignity.

When they were about to leave, Coralie couldn't help but say, "Your have a weak stomach, don't drink too much. Remember to eat in the morning and evening. Don't sleep too..." "These are not within your concern."

As Skylar listened to her nagging, he spoke with annoyance instantly.

"Sorry. I'm leaving."

Coralie knew that she had said too much. She turned around and wanted to leave. Before her tears streamed down, she wanted to disappear from Skylar's world.

Forever.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a powerful force. She felt a twinge in her back, being pressed against the wall. "Close your eyes."

She heard an order.

The next second, his familiar kiss fell on her lips. It had a faint minty fragrance and was slightly salty.

At that moment, Coralie could no longer hold back her tears.

Although they were no longer spouses, at that moment, Coralie did not want to refuse this kiss at all.

She kissed back passionately.

Throughout the two years of marriage with Skylar, she had never responded to his kiss like that. Skylar had never kissed her so aggressively either.

The smell of blood spread from her mouth. Along with his rhythm, the smell became more and more intense.

But even so, Coralie did not back away at all.

That long and crazy kiss stopped abruptly just as Coralie was immersed in it.

By the time she realized what happened, he had already left. The entire hall was empty, and she was the only one standing there.

It was as if nothing happened, like it was only her illusion.

However, the pain on the corner of her lips and the smell of blood in her mouth reminded her that everything that had happened was real.

Coralie stood in the hall for a long time. Then, she picked up her phone and then dialled Houston's personal number.

When the call was connected, Coralie immediately said, "President Zac, I agree with what you proposed. I hope you can contact the people at Watson Group as soon as possible and get this matter solved."
