You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 71

Coralie's attitude formed a huge contrast to Valerie's words just now. Not only was she not angry, but

she was very calm and she did not seem to care at all about what happened.

"Coralie, you are really taking your role as a contractual wife seriously!"

Skylar looked at her, and his eyes were full of anger, but he didn't know how to vent his annoyance.

"Thank you for your compliments!"

Coralie carried the groceries, opened the door with the entrance card, and then took out a pair of

slippers for Skylar. She waited at the door to help him take off his coat.

However, her rebellious character caused Skylar to feel really angry.

Deep down in his heart, he would prefer Coralie to kick up a fuss about this matter to prove that he was

important to her. However, everything seemed to indicate that she really regarded him as an employer,

an emotionless employer.

"Coralie, you are really..."

He wanted to say the word 'terrible'. If it was in the past, he would not hesitate, but this time, Skylar

controlled himself and went upstairs angrily.

Downstairs, Coralie asked, "President Holland, do you need dinner later?"

"There's no need for that. Valerie and I have eaten outside,"

He deliberately said so.

Coralie thought so too. After all, they were together at this time. It was likely that they went shopping

and had afternoon tea or something.

However, in actual fact, Valerie had a short-term internship in Skylar's company, and he had lent her

the car when he returned home.

Coralie knew that she bought too much groceries, but she didn't say anything. She separated them into

portions and put them into the refrigerator, and then she made a small meal for herself.

Skylar didn't know that Coralie had been waiting for him the entire day. She had hoped that he could sit

opposite her at night and have dinner together. That was all.

......

In the middle of the night, Coralie was half-asleep, but she heard a light groan from outside. She turned

around and saw that the other side of the bed was empty. When she got up, she pushed the door open

and saw Skylar in a half-kneeling position in the corridor. He had a painful expression on his face.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing Coralie coming out, Skylar immediately straightened himself up slightly and pretended to be

calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed him.

"What's wrong with you? Don't tell me that you're suffering from acute appendicitis? I'll call an

ambulance."

Coralie became nervous upon seeing him in this state. Unconsciously, she was expecting the worst

case scenario.

However, when she was about to get the phone, he stopped her. "Go and help me to get two painkillers

and some stomach medication from the medical kit."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Are you having gastritis?" Coralie looked at Skylar suspiciously. "You didn't eat at night, did you?"

"Why do you have so many questions?"

Coralie knew that he didn't want to say anything, so she hurried downstairs to get the stomach

medication and water. After handing them to Skylar, she went downstairs to heat up some milk.

Then, she helped Skylar to lie down on the bed.

"I'll get you some milk."

Coralie went downstairs to get the hot milk and she gave it to Skylar. Just now, she saw that his face

was still pale, and now, he seemed a little better. She could not help reprimanding him. "Why didn't you

tell me that you didn't have dinner? Why are you throwing a tantrum? You're not a child anymore."

Skylar raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were gentle and she seemed

anxious. He also seemed to be in a better mood, but he still said, "Are you concerned for me?"

Thinking of the pained expression he had just now due to his stomach pain, Coralie felt distressed.

She stretched out her hand to hold Skylar's hand and said very seriously, "Yes, I am concerned for you.

You might hate me, but I still hope that you won't punish yourself. I will feel distressed if you do that."

Every word of hers, every syllable that she said, was particularly earnest.

Skylar stared at her in a daze. The imposing boundaries that he had erected around his heart were

about to collapse. He pinched her cheek with his slender fingers and asked, "Distressed?"

Coralie still felt obliged to care for him, even as he stared at her in such a strange manner. "Yes.

Although my distress and my concern for you is insignificant, I still hope that you can take care of

yourself."

"After one year, I won't be by your side, and I hope that you will be able to take care of yourself,"

Coralie thought to herself.

Skylar looked at Coralie. His frosty expression seemed to melt slowly. When he leaned over to kiss

Coralie, he wanted to say that he loved her...

"I think I will be lonely all my life. I've been so lonely all my life..."

Coralie's cell phone rang all of a sudden.

In the middle of the night.

Both of them were shocked.

Coralie lowered her head and she noticed that Josephine was calling her.

She gave Skylar an apologetic look, and then she picked up the phone.

"Coralie, Coralie, save me..."

As soon as the phone was connected, Josephine's cries could be heard. In the background, a baby

was crying...

"What's wrong? Josephine, where are you? What's going on?"

Hearing this, Coralie knew that something must have happened.

"Coralie, I'm at the bus stop in front of Galaxy Plaza. Please help me."

Josephine's voice was very hoarse. She must have cried for a long time. Also, the sound of the baby

crying in the background caused Coralie to feel distressed.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll come right away." Coralie didn't even think about it. She got up and put on her

clothes. She didn't forget to tell Skylar, "I'm sorry, Skylar. I'll go and look for Josephine. You take a rest

first."

Unconsciously, she had called him Skylar.

It wasn't President Holland, it wasn't Skylar Holland, it was just Skylar.

Skylar was moved by this address. He stood up and saw her limping. He said, "I'll drive you there."

"There's no need for that. You don't feel well. Have a good rest."

Coralie didn't want Josephine to wait over there, but she didn't want Skylar to drive her when he was

not feeling well.

She didn't realize the way she had called Skylar just now.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

After drinking the milk and taking the medicine, he felt much better.

Skylar also got up, put on his clothes, and took the key of the other car at home.

"Thank you."

Coralie glanced at Skylar gratefully. Suddenly, she felt that it was good to have him by her side.

......

Skylar drove quickly to the place where Josephine had mentioned.

At a glance, Coralie spotted Josephine not far away. It was so cold, but she only wore thin pajamas.

She squatted behind the bus stop with the child in her arms and her hair was messy.

"Josephine."

Coralie walked over and patted Josephine. At this time, the baby had fallen asleep in her arms.

"Coralie!" When Josephine saw Coralie coming, she stood up and apologized first, "I'm sorry for calling

you so late at night."

Under the moonlight, Coralie saw clearly that her pale face in the afternoon was now bruised. Her

arms, which were holding the baby, were shivering due to the coldness.

"Get in the car first."

Josephine got into the car and felt a little warmer. Then, she noticed that the car was very spacious. On

the steering wheel, the logo of Infiniti could be seen. Although she only saw the side profile of the

driver, it was not difficult to see that he was a very handsome man.
