You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 75

"..."

Coralie didn't know how to explain about the birthday present. As a wife, it seemed unreasonable that she didn't give a gift to her husband.

"That's our own business, not yours."

Skylar said bluntly.

Valerie was very smart. She saw that Skylar was defending Coralie, so she stopped talking about this topic.

"By the way, is Grandmother Holland really all right? When I went to see her, the handkerchief she coughed on seemed to be a little red, as if she was coughing blood."

Valerie asked.

"Really?" Skylar asked.

"Well, is Granny hiding something from us?"

Valerie said with concern.

Skylar was worried. After all, he loved Grandmother Holland very much, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

When Valerie left, Coralie said, "About the birthday present, I'll make it up to you later. Do you have something in mind?"

At this moment, the only thing she could do was to see if she could make it up to him.

"My birthday is already over this year. Let's talk about this next year."

"Next year?" Coralie frowned. She was not sure if she would still be with Skylar next year. "I'll give you something this year. Let me think about it."

"Coralie, I've already said next year. Why do you keep harping on this?"

How could Skylar not know what Coralie was thinking? Next year, at this time, their contract would have expired. If nothing strange happened, they should be separated by then. However, this idea made him feel more furious.

"Okay, I'll give you something next year."

Coralie agreed, and she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.

Coralie lived in Skylar's house. As her foot was getting better, she was considering going to work after a week's rest.

It was Wednesday. At six o'clock in the evening, someone knocked on the door.

Coralie's first reaction was that Skylar had returned early. She opened the door without hesitation, but it was Howard who was standing outside.

She was stunned by this.

When she wanted to close the door, it was too late. Howard placed one foot on the door frame so she could not close it.

"Coralie, not bad, you're living a comfortable life."

Howard sounded resentful. He didn't expect that Coralie could replace such a good marriage after divorcing him.

"Leave now, or I'll call the police."

Coralie desperately wanted to close the door, but Howard did not allow her to do so.

"Well, we were once husband and wife. Why do you want to drive me away so quickly? Are you afraid of your lover? Oh, no, I mean your husband who might misinterpret this if he came back?"

Howard didn't know who Coralie had married, but his thoughts were the same as before. He thought that she had married an old man.

"Howard, why are you so shameless? You had an affair, and I didn't even ask for anything. Why are you pestering me here right now?"

"Hey, I have the right to pester you. I'm just curious. I want to see who has taken over my ex-wife."

Howard didn't expect Coralie to marry well. Previously, he had seen Coralie in the Galaxy dress at the S-brand flagship store. After the manager there discovered that he knew Coralie, her attitude changed drastically. Everything seemed to indicate that Coralie's husband was not an ordinary person.

If Coralie had become miserable after the divorce, he wouldn't care. However, Coralie was living a good life after the divorce, which made him very unhappy.

"I'm going to call the police."

"Call the police? Go on, call the police. What's wrong with me catching up with my ex-wife?"

After all, Howard was a man and he had the advantage of strength. Coralie fought with him to close the door. Since she was weaker than him, she couldn't hold on for long. Howard opened the door little by little, and his body entered bit by bit.

"Get out!"

Coralie was anxious. Seeing Howard coming in, she didn't know what he was going to do.

At this time, Howard slammed on the door and pushed it open directly. He used so much force that the door struck Coralie's face directly, leaving a red mark on her forehead.

Coralie was in pain and she clutched her face involuntarily. Howard entered the house and closed the door.

"At first glance, the furniture is not cheap." Howard came in and he didn't change his shoes. He walked around Skylar's house casually in his shoes. He touched the sofa and the decorations one at a time. After looking around on the first floor, he said, "Why isn't there a wedding photo of your husband and yourself?"

As Howard wandered around the first floor, Coralie took out her cell phone and began to call the police. Howard saw this, and he quickly snatched Coralie's phone, putting it in his pocket.

"Give it back to me!"

"Hmm, wait for me to finish exploring."

Howard wanted to go to the second floor, but Coralie blocked the stairs quickly. "Howard, what do you want?"

Howard looked at Coralie and said with a smile, "Nothing. You are living a good life. I want to ask you for alimony." "What? Why are you so shameless?"

Coralie was shocked. She didn't expect Howard to be so shameless. This was beyond her imagination.

"Your husband is so rich anyway. So what if he gave us some money? After all, we are poor." Howard looked at Coralie who was in front of him. Her feet were still hurting. She wore a tight blouse with a high collar and a long skirt. Her chest was still as impressive as before.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think that Alison Herman was good in every aspect except in this aspect. She was not as voluptuous as Coralie. He couldn't help his lustful feelings.

"Whether he has money or not, this is not my concern. It also has nothing to do with you. Please leave now. Even if I don't call the police, you won't be able to escape, as there are surveillance cameras around here and outside."

Coralie threatened him. This was the only thing she could do now.

Howard looked at her with greed on his face. When they were a couple, he didn't want to have sex with Coralie. But now that they were divorced, things were different.

A lover is always more fun than a wife.

"Hey, you want me to leave? That's easy."

Howard stretched out his hand and he wanted to grab Coralie's breasts. Coralie was shocked and hurriedly avoided his hand. However, her feet were still injured. Although she avoided it, her body still hit the railing of the stairs.

Looking at Coralie's face, Howard thought of the time they had spent together in the past, and his heart was ablaze.

He grabbed Coralie's clothes with one hand, pressed her to the ground, and straddled her body. He touched her mouth and said, "Your husband is old, isn't he? I'm sure that he can't satisfy you. Let me do it for him, haha!"

As he said this, he held Coralie's hands with one hand and lifted her clothes with the other hand.

Coralie was scared. She kept kicking her legs and shouting, "Howard, don't touch me! If you dare touch me today, you will be dead!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? After I'm done with you, I'll take a few pictures and let your husband know that one man can't satisfy you. Then, he'll kick you out of the house."

As Howard spoke, he lifted Coralie's blouse, revealing her white bra.

Coralie was hysterical, but she didn't know how to stop Howard's reckless behavior.

"Beep."

At this moment, the locking system of the door made a sound. When Coralie heard this, she knew that this was the sound of the fingerprint scanner being activated.
