You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 208

"Coralie, this child is a schemer. He's different from all of you."

Hera didn't know how to tell Coralie.

"Mom, how could he possibly like me? I'm poor. I have nothing to offer him."

From Coralie's point of view, Hera's worries were unwarranted.

"That's right. She has Brother Skylar; she won't like him either."

Wayne said, as he took a set of clean clothes and was ready to take a bath.

When she heard 'Brother Skylar', Coralie's eyes darkened. She was racking her brain to figure out a

way to tell her mother and brother about her divorce with Skylar.

And that she was about to marry someone else.

Most importantly, she was pregnant.

"Ugh."

Coralie was standing there when she retched. She rushed into the bathroom before Wayne did, but she

nothing came out. She then rinsed her mouth and left the bathroom.

"Are you pregnant?"

Hera had been through this before hence she knew what Coralie was experiencing at a glance.

"Mom, I'm not... I just have a bad appetite these days."

"You're still lying to me?"

Hera didn't believe what Coralie said. Even though there were a lot of sicknesses that would cause dry

retching, it was the most common symptom in the first trimester of pregnancy.

"Coralie, are you pregnant?"

Hearing this, Wayne also came over.

Coralie was silent for a while. After a tug of war in her mind, she still said, "I'm not! If I'm pregnant, why

would I hide it from you guys? It's something to celebrate about!"

There were too many things that had befallen her. Her mother would certainly be unable to accept it, so

Coralie chose not to reveal it for the time being.

......

That night, when Coralie was still helping Hera with the house chores, her phone rang.

Although it was an unknown number, she still decided to answer it.

"Hello, is this Coralie?"

As soon as the phone was connected, a man's voice with a slight accent came from the other side.

"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are..."

Coralie thought for a moment. She didn't seem to know this voice. The first thing she thought of was

that it was a scam.

"Hello, I am the security guard of Golden Town. Mr. Holland is drunk and seems to have fallen asleep

at the door of his house. Your number is on his emergency contact list. Could you please come and

take care of him?"

After the guard finished speaking, Coralie remembered that she had to register the name of the owner

and the emergency contact for the property at Golden Town annually. At that time, Coralie was still on

good terms with Skylar, so she left her contact.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Coralie agreed without thinking.

She originally thought that it would not be a breach of contract for her to leave after bringing Skylar

inside the house.

Coralie went out after notifying Hera and Wayne. When she arrived at the door to Skylar's house, she

saw that he was sitting on the floor, leaning against the door and appeared to have fallen asleep.

Several security guards stood aside.

"Sorry to trouble you."

Coralie ran over and apologized. As she said it, she wanted to help Skylar up, but because he was

drunk, his whole body was weighing her down. With her petite body, it was impossible for Coralie to

hold him up.

"Let us do it. You open the door."

Seeing Coralie like this, the security guards took the initiative to help Skylar up.

"I, I don't have the fingerprint..."

Coralie said awkwardly.

In the end, they opened the door with Skylar's fingerprint. The security guards put Skylar on the bed in

the guest room on the first floor before leaving.

Coralie sat beside him and breathed in the pungent smell of alcohol around him. She couldn't imagine

how much alcohol he had imbibed.

"Skylar, why can't you take good care of yourself?"

Coralie looked at him in his drunken state. She felt harrowed by it. In the past, Skylar's stomach was

not very healthy. Obviously, the company's situation had improved, but he was still drinking.

With his condition, how could she be assured that he would be alright if she left him alone in the

future...

"Skylar, you must find someone to take good care of you. Only by then can I rest assured."

She didn't take off Skylar's clothes but only covered him with a quilt. Just as she got up and wanted to

leave—

Skylar clutched her hand tightly.

"Coralie, don't go."

His voice was hoarse, but Coralie still heard what he said.

Skylar wasn't actually asleep just now. He wanted the security guard to call Coralie. He wanted to see if

Coralie would come.

He wanted to see if this woman was really heartless.

In the end, Coralie came, and she even said those words just now. He was convinced that Coralie must

have her reasons.

"Since you're not asleep, I'm going to go first."

Coralie could also see through his tricks at a glance.

Skylar was supposed to be drunk, but when Coralie was opening the door with Skylar's fingerprints just

now, she clearly felt that he was holding her hand. At that time, Coralie felt that she was mistaken, but

now she realized that Skylar was not drunk at all. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Don't leave. Tell me what happened."

Skylar grabbed Coralie and dragged her into the room.

After all, a man had a better strength compared to a woman. Coralie knew that she would not be able

to break free, so she sat on the bed. However, she hid the heartache she felt. Instead, she said, "I don't

know what you're talking about."

"Did someone force you to do this? You didn't agree to the divorce at first, why did you agree so

decisively all of a sudden?"

Skylar had doubts about Coralie's decision to divorce him.

However at that time, Skyton Corporation was in a critical state. He couldn't worry too much about it.

Now that Skyton Corporation's situation was getting better, he had the time to figure it out.

He was grabbing Coralie's wrist. At this time, other than bitterness, what was bothering her was her

nerves. She was afraid that she would retch at this time. If Skylar knew that she was pregnant...

She looked at Skylar, bit her lip and said, "Skylar, don't think too highly of yourself. Now I am with

someone richer and more handsome than you. Why should I be entangled with a half-dead president of

a small company like you?"

"Half-dead president of a small company?"

Skylar stared at Coralie with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart from her eyes to

gauge if she was lying.

Coralie was flustered, but she pretended to be calm. "Yes, you cannot compare to him at all. Look at

me, of course I have to get married to someone better. After all, even if you're special, there're still

plenty more fishes in the sea."

After she said that, she felt his grip on her wrist loosen.

It seemed that Skylar didn't expect Coralie to say such a thing. This was not the Coralie he knew at all.

Coralie looked at him as he was in shock. Looking at the man's expression, she continued amid her

heartbreak, "Are you wondering why I am like this? How did I become like this? Actually, I have always

been like this. You're right that day, I was good at acting." She paused and said, "And, you're stupid."

Coralie brought forth her best acting skills at this moment.

When she finished saying that, Skylar's hand had completely let go of her. Coralie pulled back her hand

and turned her head to leave. However, her tears were already falling from her eyes.

She knew that she and Skylar were over. They were completely done.
