You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 139

Coralie Chariott paused when she heard about the driver.

In fact, she was indeed puzzled by the elusiveness of this matter. The accident did happen, but no one uttered a word about the driver involved, nor what happened after.

However, Coralie had always presumed that this matter had been resolved when she was recovering in the hospital. Hence, she would not have known anything even if there was something strange about the matter.

When Franklin Moore mentioned the driver, the initial doubts rose to the surface of her mind again.

"Is there a problem with the driver?"

Coralie asked Franklin.

Franklin noticed her heightened attentiveness to this matter, so he immediately answered her in a grim tone, "Yes, there are a lot of problems."

"Tell me."

Coralie went over to him.

However, Franklin pointed to his car and offered, "I'll tell you while we eat."

Coralie looked at the car, still hesitating. Franklin stared at Coralie standing there in ambivalence, so he could take a good guess at what she was thinking. Then he opened his mouth, "Coralie, Skylar had driven you away and he is now getting engaged to Valerie. What are you afraid of?"

The unconcealed reality of his sentence pierced into Coralie's heart. Initially, she hesitated because of her consideration of Skylar Holland. She was afraid that he would misunderstand her if she were to have a meal with Franklin.

However, when Franklin reminded her about the fact that she had tried to avoid all along, it finally dawned on her that...

Yes, she had nothing to do with Skylar anymore. Why did she have to concern herself with that man?

"Okay, let's go."

Coralie opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

After Franklin got into the car, he buckled on his seat belt and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything."

"Anything? Okay, I'll decide then."

Franklin was planning to take Coralie to some a high-end restaurant since he assumed his ex-girlfriends' preferences on her.

However, halfway through the drive, Coralie looked at the familiar street view and saw an old shop that she knew. She suddenly remarked, "Stop for a while."

When she said that, Franklin parked his car hurriedly on the side of the road. As he scanned around at the inconspicuous small stores that were spread in front of him, Franklin doubted, "Don't tell me..."

"Let's eat here."

Before Franklin could finish speaking, Coralie had already spoken. She pointed to a restaurant on the side of the road.

Franklin looked in the direction that she was pointing at and saw a small restaurant called Lane's Diner. The store was small and it could only fit four tables. There was no queue outside the restaurant.

There was also a sign 'Removal' plastered on the wall next to it.

"Here?"

"Well, I guessed it would be torn down soon. I want to be the last patron before that happens."

Coralie looked at the store with a complicated expression on her face. Franklin seemed to realize something and did not say anything more. He parked the car on the roadside parking lot and got off with her.

When they arrived at the door of the store, the owner, who was watching the TV, immediately got up quickly and greeted them, "Come in, have a seat."
