You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 368
Coralie was already very familiar with these things.
She stayed by Skylar's side. Hendric sensibly stood to one side, no longer shouting that he was hungry.
They waited there for Skylar's legs to recover. Because Skylar had kicked over the chess table, Lillian and the others' chess game had been dismissed.
She had just come out of Mrs. Andrews's house when she saw Skylar kneeling there. When she thought something had happened, she pushed Coralie away and scolded, "Coralie, you're crazy. How dare you ask my son to kneel down to you? What's wrong with the way I took care of Hendric? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because he is in love with you. As long as I'm alive, I will never allow you to enter the Holland family's home!"
Lillian had come over in a hurry, so Coralie did not notice her at all. When Lilian pushed her with all of her strength, Coralie fell over, her head hitting against the ground.
Lillian was still not done after pushing Carolie to the ground. She then continued to hit and kick Carolie.
Lillian had been bullied by Skylar just now, and now she was going to vent all her anger on Coralie. Coralie's vision had become hazy because she bumped her head, so she couldn't avoid Lillian's hits.
"Get lost!" Skylar roared.
Skylar couldn't move at all due to the pain in his leg.
However, he had used all of his strength to scream at Lilian.
Because of the pain in his legs, he had been suppressing it before. Now, his voice was very loud. Even the surrounding residential districts could hear it.
Lillian paused. She hadn't expected Skylar to say that to her. She looked at Skylar kneeling down without moving, with his head pressed low and his hands resting on his knees. It was as if he was apologizing to Coralie.
"Skylar, I'm doing this for your own good. You shouldn't be hurting your knees. Even if I had mistreated Hendric, you shouldn't kneel down to her. You're Skyton Corporation's president. Are you afraid of not being able to get married? What's so charming about her that you must marry her!"
While she was talking, Lillian was trying to help Skylar up.
Coralie got up and watched Lillian pull Skylar up. She hurriedly stopped her, "Don't touch him!"
She knew that the moment Skylar moved, he would be in pain.
"Why should I not touch him? Who do you think you are, Coralie? You are such a terrible woman. Don't ever think about entering into our house!"
Lillian continued to help Skylar's up.
Coralie just remembered to explain herself, "He wasn't kneeling down to me, he..."
"Honey, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Before Coralie could finish her words, Skylar suddenly opened his mouth as he knelt there.
His voice was a little hoarse, but it was still audible.
Coralie knew that the pain in Skylar's leg should have subsided by now, but this would deepen the misunderstanding between her and Lillian. "Skylar, are you crazy?" Lilian looked at him incredulously.
"Mom, I'm not crazy. I love Carolie deeply, and I will only marry her. If you don't approve of her, then don't approve of me too."
Skylar said firmly as he knelt there.
Coralie didn't know what he was trying to do, so she quickly helped Skylar up and said, "Skylar, I forgive you, I forgive you, please get up."
"
She grabbed onto Skylar's clothes in her hands and felt that his suit had been soaked inside out.
Lilian was seething with anger as she heard Skylar's words. Her son whom she was so proud of, how could he have resorted to this? How could she be able to bear it!
Coralie pulled Skylar to his feet. Hendric, who was by her side, didn't know what had happened. He simply asked, "Mom and Dad, can we go eat?"
"Yes, we can." They replied in unison.
Coralie supported Skylar with one hand and walked in the direction of the car with Hendric in her arms.
Lillian looked at their backs, deeply angered.
She called Valerie right after she got home.
The day before, Valerie gave Lillian a snakeskin bag, which was worth a six-digit price. At that time, Lillian, who was happy, had held Valerie's hand and told her that she must make Valerie her daughter-in-law When the phone was connected, Valerie asked sweetly, "Aunt Ford, what's wrong?"
"Valerie, I am so angry at Coralie."
Lillian sat on the sofa and finished the entire cup of water that the servant had served in one go.
When Valerie heard this, she knew that something must have happened. When Valerie visited the day before, Lillian had been complaining to her that Hendric had stayed there for a whole day and that she could not even play chess with her friends.
Valerie then suggested to Lillian to take Hendric with her. If Hendric cried a lot, she could put him in another room. The child would not cry after a while.
Lillian liked to hear pleasant words. She had thought about doing so for a long time. Valerie's words gave her the push she needed, and that was why that day's incident had happened.
However, Lillian did not blame Valerie at all. She just blamed Coralie for making a fuss.
"Aunt Ford, what's wrong? Tell me."
Valerie pretended to sound worried over the phone, but she was feeling very delighted in her heart.
Lillian told Valerie about everything that had happened and then said, "My son used to be so obedient to me. He listened to everything I told him. Ever since he met Coralie, even his soul was taken away, and he became a different person. Today, not only did he yell at me, but also knelt down to that woman."
Upon hearing this, Valerie was also a little surprised.
Skylar was such a proud person. How could he kneel down to Coralie for this matter?
"Aunt Ford, did you see it clearly? Skylar is so proud so it's impossible for him to kneel down to a woman."
"I saw it clearly. I'm so upset about it. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be so angry," Lillian huffed. "Valerie, you must snatch Skylar away from her. If my son continues to be with Coralie, one day, he will be left with nothing but a broken heart.
"But, Aunt Ford, this is not something that could be easily solved. It's useless even if I like Skylar if he doesn't feel the same."
In fact, Valerie was feeling very anxious now.
Because of Skylar's promise yesterday, Houston was very supportive of the marriage between her and Jasper. The two of them were preparing to discuss the date of the marriage soon. However, Valerie was not willing to give up. She did not want to lose Jasper, the second best candidate, and of course, she did not want to give up Skylar, the best candidate. "Don't be afraid, I will help you," Lilian promised.
"But I heard that they are going to buy diamond rings. I'm afraid they will get engaged next month."
Valerie took the opportunity to tell her.
Lillian didn't expect Skylar and Coralie to have come this far. She said anxiously, "What? That's impossible. How could they not have told me about such an important matter?"
"It's true... I happened to bump into them at the restaurant yesterday and heard them speak about it personally," Valeria answered.
"Don't worry!" Lillian was even more convinced when she heard this. "Even when I am gone, I won't approve of their engagement. I will never allow Coralie to enter the Holland family!" "Aunt... If I can marry Skylar, I'll definitely treat the both of you very well. I'll be a good wife to Skylar, and take great care of my husband and son."
Valerie pretended to cry while making her promise.
"Well, you are my designated daughter-in-law. No matter how capable Coralie is, I will not let her succeed!" Lillian gritted her teeth.
Lillian listened to Valerie's words and compared them to Coralie's attitude today. She was determined to make Valerie her daughter-in-law.
