You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 143

Lillian Ford felt a little distressed when she saw Valerie Rae sitting in a wheelchair. When she recalled that Coralie Chariott was the one who had caused it, she got even angrier. She couldn't help saying, "Valerie, you really are selfless. In order to save Coralie... I don't think that you should have helped her. What does her safety have to do with you?"

Valerie put on a sad look and sighed, "I didn't think much at that time, I could only think of Skylar's child. But I didn't expect her to lose her balance..."

"Valerie is too kind. She would refuse to listen to my words whenever I say these things to her too."

"I remember that all of Valerie's classmates used to really like her back during schooling days."

Lillian and Amelia sat together and praised Valerie in concert.

In fact, the purpose of Amelia and Valerie's visit was to ask Lillian to set an engagement date.

Once the date was set, they could then start preparing.

When that time comes, even if Skylar was unwilling to, he would have no choice but to oblige.

Valerie was sitting on the side, listening to them.

When it was about time, she picked a bag that they had just brought in and said, "Auntie Ford, I chose this with my mother. I don't know if it suits your taste, but it's a Cartier bracelet."

As she spoke, she took out a golden bracelet from the exquisite box and handed it to Lillian.

Of course, Lillian knew about the luxury bracelet. It probably cost more than ten thousand dollars!

"Is this really Cartier? Why haven't I seen this one before?"

Lillian only knew about the basic Cartier bracelets.

Valerie said with a smile, "Auntie Ford, this is the first batch for the new arrival."

As she spoke, she put the bracelet on Lillian's round wrist.

Once Lillian learned that it was a new arrival, she immediately showed her elation, "Oh, no wonder this bracelet is so pretty."

Valerie smiled at her mother. Amelia Harington then said, "You know, I'm worried about the two children. You see, Valerie is already 25 years old and she will be turning 26 soon. I can't wait for her to get married and have a family."

"Mom!"

Valerie pretended to be shy and she immediately lowered her eyes to avoid Lillian's gaze.

Amelia patted Valerie's hand and said to Lilian, "Valerie doesn't want to put pressure on Skylar. Getting married is a good thing. Now that it has been decided, it is just a matter of time. The engagement should be held as soon as possible."

"You're right!" Lillian nodded. "I adore Valerie. I'm looking forward to her becoming my daughter-in-law."

After all, there were not many girls like Valerie who could cajole her so well.

"I have found an astrologer to search for the best date for their engagement. He said that October 29 is perfect."

Amelia added quickly.

"October 29?"

Lillian checked her mobile phone and realized that it was October 10. That meant that the engagement ceremony would be held the week after. Although she wanted to set the date for Skylar, Lilian still thought it was too rushed.

"In fact, I thought it might be too soon but it is a rare date with such good omen."

Valerie noticed that Lillian was in a dilemma. She said, "Mom, we should let Auntie Ford discuss this with Skylar first. After all, this matter involves him too. Auntie Ford couldn't possibly decide on his behalf."

She sounded as though she was standing up for Lillian, but she was subtly hinting that Lillian did not have the power to decide for Skylar.

"You're right, Amelia. We shall hold the engagement ceremony on October 29 then. I'll talk to my son. Don't worry about it."

Lillian patted her chest with the bracelet on her hand and said.
