You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 91

"You only want us to last for one year?"

"Well, a year is enough."

Coralie felt that the two months they were together were long enough. What happened in the past two months was more than what she had experienced in the past 25 years. Skylar did not argue with her.

After all, the agreement existed, and the terms were clearly written, but...

"Why didn't you tell me that your house was on fire, and that your mother and brother were in the hospital?"

Skylar never thought about the reason why Coralie suddenly came to sign the agreement with him.

He thought that Coralie was convinced by his proposal and he thought that he was quite charming. It seemed that he had thought too highly of himself.

Hearing Skylar's question, Coralie walked forward on her own. "Anyway, my goal was to get more money. Would it be different if I told you this?"

"If you had told me about this, I would have lent you the money directly. You don't need to do all of this right now."

Skylar walked beside her and spoke slowly. His tone was dull and calm, and she couldn't hear any emotions in his voice.

"We all got what we needed. As long as the outcome remains the same, everything will be fine."

She finally knew that it was impossible for her to be with Skylar. If this was the case, then they will separate from each other. She was fine with this. She did not want to have any expectations and be disappointed thereafter.

"We all got what we needed? Ha." Skylar took Coralie's hand. "I'll go home with you."

When he said this sentence, his voice was so gentle that Coralie was slightly shocked. She looked up and asked, "There's no need for that. Your mother is still waiting at home."

"We only have a year. Shouldn't I cherish it?"

Skylar said this as he pulled Coralie to the direction of the car.

His large palm was so warm in the winter that Coralie's tiny frozen hand became warm, and this warmth even spread to her heart.

Coralie lowered her head and followed him. Her heart was beating violently.

Deep down, she suddenly felt a sense of regret for telling him that they had only one year together. Perhaps, she was being too greedy.

It was already remarkable for her to have such an excellent man for a year.

However, she didn't know that at this moment, Skylar was hoping that she wouldn't leave him. He wanted a year, another year, and many many more.

Skylar was driving, while Coralie was sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them were silent.

When they were about to arrive at Coralie's community, Skylar's car suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?"

"This is the first time I've been to your house. How can I go empty-handed? Wait for me here." As Skylar said this, he got out of the car and walked into a supermarket by the road. Coralie sat there and she was stunned for a period of time. He really had good manners.

She quickly sent a text message to Wayne Chariott and told him that Skylar was coming.

Not long after that, Skylar came out of the supermarket with a lot of bags. As there were too many things, the shop assistants from the supermarket followed him.

Coralie saw this and hurriedly got out of the car to help.

She came closer and found that Skylar had bought a lot of things, such as fruits, milk, oats and even multivitamins and health supplements?

"Why did you buy those items? These are enough." Coralie was embarrassed. "These things haven't been opened yet. Why don't you return them? My mother won't want these."

She picked up the multivitamins and health supplements.

Speaking of this, the supermarket clerk immediately showed a look of unhappiness. Looking at Skylar, she said with some embarrassment, "These items can't be returned after being bought from the supermarket."

"But why?"

Coralie was a little unhappy. It was clear that the shop assistant was still here. Why couldn't the goods be returned?

"Just take them."

The two of them put the goods in the back seat together.

They went back to the front seat.

On the way, Coralie whispered, "I told my mother last time that I didn't marry you, so it might be a little awkward for you to visit her this time."

"I understand."

Skylar was not surprised at all when he heard what she said.

When the car was parked at Coralie's house, Skylar was carrying all the items in his hand, but he looked a little unnatural.

"Are you nervous?"

Coralie looked up at Skylar in puzzlement.

"This is the first time I've seen my mother-in-law. I guess I'm a little nervous,"

Skylar said with a smile.

This man had experienced many important occasions and he was so calm when facing everything. However, at this moment, he was actually a little nervous? Coralie looked at him and smiled. She comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, my mother is very easy to get along with."

When the two of them went upstairs, Wayne was already waiting with the door opened.

As soon as Skylar and Coralie entered, Wayne greeted them cheerfully, "Holland, you ended up becoming my brother-in-law."

Hera Jean came out of the kitchen at this time. When she saw Skylar, she recognized him immediately. "Coralie, isn't this the man we met last time..."

"Mom, I was worried for you that time. I'm sorry that I lied to you."

Coralie went over and held Hera's arm, acting like a spoiled child.

Skylar's eyes fell on Hera's hand. He saw that her fingers had clear burn marks. It seemed that what Coralie had said was true, in regards to her house being on fire and in regards to her family being admitted to the hospital.

He walked up to Hera and apologized. "Auntie, my mother misinterpreted the situation previously. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Hera was stunned. She didn't expect Skylar to apologize on behalf of his mother.

She also said, "It was my fault too. I had hypoglycemia at that time."

"Holland, we are in the same college now. I'm a freshman this year," Wayne said with a smile.

"I know."

The last time Coralie pleaded for Wayne, he was also there.

Skylar looked at Wayne and recalled the young teenager who was still in middle school. He was now in college and he was as tall as he was.

The three of them sat down and chatted with each other. This house was rented by Coralie. The living room was small because there was a bedroom next to it.

"I have a few empty houses. Maybe when you are free, your family can move there."

Over the years, the real estate market was popular. Skylar also bought a few buildings for investment, and he rented out some of them, but several of them were still empty. "No, no. I've gotten used to living here."

Coralie waved her hand. She could no longer accept Skylar's favors. Otherwise, she really did not know what to do.

"Holland, this is an album of my sister when she was a child. Do you want to take a look at it? Last time, when the house was on fire, everything was almost destroyed. Fortunately, this album was well hidden. It didn't catch fire."

Wayne was an expert at selling out his sister. As he spoke, he took out a large album and handed it to Skylar.

"Don't look at it. The pictures are ugly."

"It's okay. Coralie was just as beautiful as she is now."

Facing Coralie's obstruction, Wayne quickly comforted her.

Skylar opened the first page of the album, which was a photo of Coralie, when she was about three months old.

Coralie was very cute in the photo. Skylar couldn't help reaching out and touching the face of the little girl in the photo.

However, when he looked closely at Coralie, he noticed a gold pendant hanging in front of her chest. The shape of the gold pendant was very special, and he had seen this gold pendant before. He muttered to himself, "Is this the gold pendant of the Zac family?"
