You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 110

"Ahem, Coralie, she's just my senior. A lot of people are going after her and I don't stand a chance," Wayne said dejectedly.

Coralie was a little sore when she heard Wayne's self-deprecation tone and retorted, "My brother is so handsome, so how can he be any lesser than the others?"

"Ding dong."

It was another WhatsApp message.

Immediately, Wayne darted his attention back on his mobile phone hurriedly.

Coralie could not help but smile when she noticed Wayne's reaction. Following that, she no longer disturbed him but continued cleaning up the house.

Coralie could not bear to let her mother do all the chores alone because her mother's hand was injured, thus she did it herself.

"Coralie, don't work too hard. You still have to work tomorrow," Hera called.

She felt sorry for her daughter. Coralie was busy cleaning the house all night that her back was hunched.

"It's okay, mom. It's Christmas and we should clean up and celebrate the holiday."

Coralie stretched her back and replied.

Following that, Hera poured a glass of warm water in the kitchen and handed the glass to Coralie. She said, "Coralie, drink some water and have some rest."

"Thank you, mom."

Coralie was gulping down the water when Hera stood beside her and asked, "Coralie, will Skylar visit during Christmas? He's so rich and if he comes, I'll have to prepare some delicious food in advance."

Although Skylar married Coralie, Hera still felt that he was a world apart from them since he's from a wealthy family. Therefore, if he paid a visit to their home, he would still be a guest and she should not treat him shabbily.

"It's okay, mom. I don't think he'll come," Coralie assured her mother.

Coralie felt that a large family like the Holland's family would be busy and occupied during the holiday season, unlike a small family like them.

"Well, that's good. It's inevitable that our relatives will visit during Christmas. I'm afraid that our relatives will disturb him if he's here."

Hera told the truth.

Ever since Coralie's father passed away, the relatives from her father side had basically lost all contact with her family. They had always blamed Hera for the death of her husband.

As for Hera's family, among her sisters, she was married to the least favorable. Therefore, they detested her for her poor marriage and turned a cold shoulder to her.

Perhaps, they were afraid that Hera would ask them for money. After all, Hera once tried to borrow some money from her sisters to apply for a lawsuit when her husband died from the car accident. However, she was rejected harshly.

Yet, her two older sisters would still pay a visit once in a while to make sure that Hera's life was not any better than theirs.

"Well, even if he comes, he will let me know in advance," Coralie replied.

Following that, she lowered her head.

The truth was she would like to have Skylar over as well but that was impossible.

......

On Christmas Eve, Coralie and Wayne went shopping for some fireworks. Wayne browsed through the stalls and said, "Sister, let's buy this one. We haven't been playing with this type of fireworks for a long time now."

Back then, they felt that it was not a good time to set off any fireworks when their father just passed away, thus they did not do it that year. Unexpectedly, five years had passed ever since they discontinued the tradition.

"Okay, let's buy it."

Coralie agreed as well.

Their old house was burned down and they currently lived in a new house. Although it was rented, it still stood as a new beginning for them.

In the meantime, Coralie's mobile phone rang when Wayne was paying for the fireworks. She realized that it was a WhatsApp message from Skylar.

Skylar's message read, "Where are you celebrating Christmas?"

Coralie typed, "At home, of course."

Skylar replied, "Okay."

Coralie did not know how to answer his brief reply. After thinking for a while, she asked, "What about you?"
