You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 67

This scene happened when both couples were close to each other, so Coralie Chariott naturally witnessed the whole thing.

When Skylar Holland was about to push Valerie Rae away, he happened to meet Coralie's gaze. He paused his action of pushing Valerie away. Instead, he lifted his head to kiss her in return. Coralie was extremely depressed to see that Skylar did not reject her kiss. All of this was displaying the strength of their relationship.

Franklin Moore noticed that Coralie constantly looked at Skylar. She was distracted. He moved her face and said, "You don't have to look if you don't like it. Look at me, I'm as handsome as your husband, right?"

Although Franklin was full of himself, he was indeed not bad-looking. His skin was very fair and his short hair was slightly curly. He had beautiful eyes. When he stared at people, it was like he was smiling, and he looked very gentle.

However, even looking at him, Coralie kept replaying in her mind the scene of Skylar and Valerie kissing.

"As adults, kissing is not a big deal." Franklin comforted her and then teased her. "Why don't you kiss me to get back at him?"

"No!"

Coralie immediately refused to do this. Even if she was an adult, she felt that acts like kissing, hugging, or even sex, should only be done with the people she loved.

"Don't be shy."

Franklin leaned forward and attempted to kiss her.

Coralie was frightened by his sudden behavior. She leaned backward and fell to the ground heavily because she wasn't standing firm.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to react so violently."

Franklin was also frightened and quickly went forward to check on her. Coralie's pale ankle was red and swollen.

"I, I'll go first."

Coralie did not dare to look up at Skylar. Instead, she took off her shoes and limped out.

It was time to end this farce.

"Skylar, she seems to be injured. Why don't you..."

Before Valerie finished her words, Skylar had already let go of her hand and chased after Coralie.

Everything was in accordance with Skylar's original intentions. He saw just now that Franklin wanted to kiss her. The reason why Coralie fell down was because she wanted to avoid this. But in contrast, he had accepted Valerie's kiss...

Skylar was angry at himself.

However, as soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, Franklin held Coralie's coat in his arms and ran forward to block his path. "Uncle, your female companion is in the banquet hall. Please go back. I will chase after my own companion."

He was trying to provoke him.

"Get out of my way."

"Skylar, don't think that just because you are two years older than me, I should give you everything."

Franklin blocked Skylar's path. He had no intention of backing off.

"What are you going to do?"

"You stole my Valerie back then. Now I'm interested in Coralie. Give her to me, and we'll call it even." Franklin liked Valerie so much back then that he was willing to do anything Valerie asked of him. However, he was not happy when he kept seeing Valerie and Skylar together.

He acted like a playboy, to hide his annoyance until a car accident happened five years ago. After Valerie had bumped into someone and caused their death, she found someone to take the fall and she fled abroad. This was when he realized that Valerie was not as kind as he thought.

"Coralie is not an object. She is a person, and she has her own freedom of choice. Same goes for Valerie."

Skylar knew that Franklin admired Valerie in the past. He thought that after so many years, he would have gotten over it, so he did not think much about this. Little did he expect that Franklin would make a move on Coralie.

"Yes, but she seems to be deeply hurt by you, uncle. She may waver in her standpoint. If someone treats her better, she may fall for them."

Franklin looked at Skylar with a playful expression.

These conclusions were drawn from all of his flirting experiences with girls throughout the years. Before he knew of Coralie's identity, he was only slightly interested. However, once her identity was revealed, Franklin was very interested in her.

After all, she was Skylar's woman. Judging from what happened just now, she was much more important than Valerie in Skylar's heart.

"Stay away from her!"

Skylar was so angry that he grabbed Franklin's collar!

"Why didn't you have this kind of reaction when you kissed Valerie just now?"

Franklin left with Coralie's scarf after finishing his sentence.

At this time, Valerie also came out. She put on her coat and held a coat in her hand. She said, "Skylar, it's cold outside. Put this on and I'll go with you to replace her."

It was already mid-November. Although it hadn't snowed yet, the weather was very cold.

Coralie hobbled out of the hotel with her high heels in her hand. The weather was very cold, and she walked barefoot.

She felt empty in her heart.

As she was wearing the Galaxy, the passers-by couldn't help but stop when they saw her.

"She's so beautiful."

"It's so cold. Why is she out here without a coat?"

"Probably because she got dumped, but how can we survive in this world when even such a beautiful woman will get dumped."

The girls around her praised Coralie.

She was really beautiful today. Especially in this dress, she looked perfect.

It was the first time Coralie had been treated like this since she left college. The passers-by stopped for her, and looked at her in awe.

After walking for quite a distance, Coralie's trembling shoulders suddenly felt warm. Then, she heard a gentle male voice, "You walk quite fast. I asked around if anyone saw a pretty lady passing by along the way and I finally found you here."

Franklin was the only person who could ease the awkward atmosphere in such a frivolous way.

At this time, Franklin bent down and put a pair of disposable slippers from the hotel in front of Coralie. "Put this on. This was all I could replace there."

Coralie lowered her head and looked at the white slippers in front of her. She felt a sense of warmth in her heart and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Franklin said with a smile, "If you think it's cold, I can lend you a shoulder."

"Actually, Mr. Moore, Valerie is not here. You don't have to work so hard to put on a show, and I won't be moved with just a few words."

Judging from the events that had transpired just now and what Franklin said, Coralie basically guessed that Franklin had pursued Valerie in the past. Naturally, all of Valerie's suitors hated Skylar. He was chasing after her just to provoke Skylar and Valerie.

"You saw right through me. I replace this interesting." Franklin did not expect this. After Coralie was hurt by Skylar, she did not react like other women, running to the next shoulder she could get. "Thank you very much for what you've done today."

Due to Franklin's presence, at least she didn't look like an abandoned woman.

Although she said this, Franklin still put his hand around her shoulder and turned around with her. He raised his voice and said to the people behind him, "Uncle, you came too late." Coralie looked up and saw Skylar and Valerie standing behind her.
