You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 57

"I set it up for her. Do you have any problem with that?"

Before Coralie Chariott could speak, Skylar Holland, who had entered the house, answered for her. In fact, the answer was obvious, but Lillian Ford didn't give up. She had to ask about this.

"But, Skylar, you set up the access for her so casually. What if she decides to steal from the house?" Lillian went in and said. Coincidentally, the position where she stood happened to be next to Coralie.

"Although my family is poor, I have moral standards,"

Coralie said this and followed her into the door. She didn't want to talk to Lillian anymore.

She had no clue what Lillian had gone through and why she looked down on ordinary people. She recalled that Grandmother Holland said that Lillian was from an ordinary family too. "Moral standards? Everything is bullsh*t when there's temptation of money!"

Lillian watched Coralie enter and didn't want to let her go.

However, at this time, Skylar stood between them, like a high wall. "She is my wife. As my mother, I hope you won't cross the line."

Coralie stood behind him and felt a sense of warmth, when she heard Skylar's words of assistance.

She whispered, "Thank you."

Then, she went into the kitchen with the groceries.

Grandmother Holland witnessed all of this.

"You two are married? Have you registered your marriage and received the certificate?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you discuss with me with regards to such an important matter?"

Lillian panicked in an instant. What was happening? She thought that Skylar and Coralie were at most in love, but she didn't expect that they had registered their marriage and gotten the marriage certificate. "That's enough. Skye is an adult. Does he need to get your approval to get married? Don't tell me that if you don't like this, you won't let him marry her?"

Grandmother Holland was helped by a servant to come over. Her voice was very pleasant but dignified.

Lillian was unable to refute this. Of course, she liked Valerie Rae, who was smart and sensible. Besides, Valerie always buy her dresses and bags from designer labels and exclusive brands.

Lillian did not work, she received an allowance from Skylar's father every month. If Valerie was her daughter-in-law and provided her with branded goods regularly, she could save her own money to buy something else.

"Yes, yes. Mom, you're right."

On the surface, Lillian accepted this, because she was not in a hurry. She believed that with Valerie's return, Skylar would be able to make the right decision.

At this time, Skylar also entered the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"There's no need for that, thank you." After saying that, Coralie remembered that Skylar had helped to defend her against Lillian's threats just now. She spoke again, "Also, thank you for your help at the door just now."

"Granny is watching us. I don't want her to suspect anything,"

Skylar explained.

"Oh, I see. That's right. Grandmother Holland was sitting in the living room just now. Looks like i have forgotten this after going out for groceries,"

Coralie bit her lip and said awkwardly.

It turned out that he was doing this for Grandmother Holland, she's making a fool of herself.

For dinner, Coralie cooked a variety of dishes, but most of them were relatively light, in order to adapt to Grandmother Holland's taste.

"Well, the dishes were all delicious. Skye, you have to come back for dinner regularly in the future. Men work hard outside so that they can come home to eat with their families."

It was the first time Grandmother Holland had eaten the dishes prepared by Coralie. They were refreshing and delicious. There was not much oil and salt in them. She was quite particular about this. "Yes, granny,"

Skylar answered seriously. He listened to his grandmother's words the most.

Due to Grandmother Holland's health, she had the habit of drinking a little red wine at dinner. Everyone drank with her. Although Coralie could not hold her liquor, she did not dare to say anything at this time.

She had no choice but to drink some wine as well.

After dinner, Lillian wanted to stay, but Grandmother Holland asked her to leave together.

Helplessly, Lillian had to go out with Grandmother Holland.

With the departure of the guests, the house became quiet again.

After Coralie put the plates they had used into the dishwasher one by one, she felt a little dizzy.

"I'll take a shower first. I'll come down later to clean up."

As she spoke, she walked and swayed. She had to use the railing to support herself.

Skylar, who was sitting in the living room, tilted his head. He noticed that Coralie's face was red, and her limbs were obviously uncoordinated. As she went upstairs, she swayed from side to side, as if she would fall from the stairs in the next second.

He frowned slightly and put aside the tablet. He followed her and held her arm.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can do this."

Coralie stretched out her hand and pushed Skylar's arm away. She tried to act as if she was sober, and she jumped up and down the stairs. Obviously, she was drunk.

"Hurry up and go to bed. I'll ask a part-time worker to clean up these things tomorrow."

Skylar felt a little helpless when he saw her like this.

"I can do it. I'm not drunk."

Coralie forced herself to go upstairs. She walked into the bathroom in the master bedroom, feeling rather self-conscious. Then, she began to fill the bathtub. Since it took some time to fill the bathtub, they usually only used the showers daily.

Today, Coralie felt like using the fan-shaped bathtub. She sat by the side enthusiastically, waiting for the water to be filled.

Initially, Skylar was watching the news on the tablet downstairs. After waiting for more than half an hour, he noticed that Coralie hadn't come down. He could not help but worry. He went upstairs, entered the master bedroom, and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. It sounded different from the sound of the shower, so he went forward and opened the bathroom door without hesitation...

He saw that Coralie was sitting next to the bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel. Her face and body were still red. Her hair was hanging down on one side of her shoulder, and her feet were in the bathtub, splashing the water inside.

She looked at the surface of the water with her eyelashes hanging down.

With the addition of steam, the scene looked almost magical.

Hearing someone come in, Coralie turned her head and saw Skylar standing at the door. She was so scared that she slipped and fell backward...

"Be careful!"

Seeing that Coralie was about to fall down, Skylar stepped forward and held her in his arms.

Coralie was still covered with her bath towel while in his arms. She felt dizzy. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said 4 words, "Skylar, I feel dizzy."

It was these four words that brought Skylar's memory back to a few years ago.

At that time, Coralie almost fell down when she was drunk. When she was in his arms, she also said those same words.

"If you're dizzy, go and have some rest."

Skylar said the same words as that day. Before he noticed it, his voice had become as gentle as his voice on that day.

"I still have to take a bath."

Coralie, who was drunk, was limp all over. Before he could react, she rolled over and slipped into the bathtub. Only her hands were still in the man's arms, and her eyes were blurry. However, in his arms, besides Coralie's hands, there was also the bath towel wrapping her body just now.
