You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 18

His eyes met with her teary ones. Coralie Chariott bit her lip tightly, as if she was trying to hold back her tears. However, a drop of tear still rolled down her face.

This teardrop made Skylar Holland feel inexplicably agitated.

"I'm sorry, I, I'm..."

"That's enough!" Skylar suddenly moved away. Coralie stumbled and almost fell down. "I am not someone who forces himself on a woman."

He walked towards the bathroom as he spoke.

Not until after he had closed the bathroom door, turned on the shower and the sound of running water came from the bathroom, had Coralie realized that Skylar really did not force himself on her.

By the time Skylar came out of the bathroom, Coralie had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He stood in front of her and looked down at her. Coralie was sleeping soundly. However, her delicate face looked almost the same like before, but much thinner.

The more he looked at it, the impulse that had just been cooled down by the cold water was gradually surging once again.

"......."

The next day.

When the morning sunshine came through the window, Coralie woke up.

She looked around her in a daze. She clearly remembered that she had slept on the sofa yesterday, but now she was on the bed?

When Coralie finished washing up and walked to the living room, she was shocked.

Skylar, who was 6-foot tall, was lying on her two-seater sofa. His feet were sticking out of the sofa but he was sleeping soundly.

Coralie went to the kitchen and took out the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and baked beans. She made breakfast for the both of them. When Skylar got up and finished washing up, she had already served the breakfast onto the table.

"You made these?"

Skylar looked at the breakfast that was on the table and asked her.

"Yeah, well, I don't know if it fits your palate."

Coralie stood at the kitchen door and politely replied.

Skylar lowered his head and looked at the baked beans that was on the plate. His face immediately turned pale. "I don't eat baked beans."

"Ah? Didn't you..." Before she finished her words, Coralie immediately shut up. "I'll remove it for you."

It would definitely destroy the mood if she were to talk about the past.

While she was walking into the kitchen with the plate of big breakfast in her hands, she could hear Skylar say, "I've never liked eating baked beans."

He didn't say it in the past because Coralie liked it very much.

However, their relationship was no longer the same as before, so there was no need for him to endure it any longer.

Coralie carefully removed the baked beans and handed the plate back to Skylar.

"Just tell me what you dislike. I will remember it."

"I married you to bring good luck to my family, not for you to do the house chores. Don't be mistaken."

Coralie's words were stopped by him immediately.

She had to keep her mouth shut. But looking at the man who was eating a mouthful of eggs, she couldn't help but to ask, "Is it good?"

Skylar raised his head to look at her and replied. "It's not bad."

In fact, he never had the habit of having breakfast. The last time he had breakfast was probably when he was still in college. At that time, he was still with Coralie.

After the meal, Skylar put on his t-shirt. Seeing that Coralie was still wandering around in the house and had no intention of going to work, he asked, "Aren't you going out for work?"

"Er, I'll go later."

Coralie was too embarrassed to say that she was now unemployed. She was worried that Skylar would think that she had quit her job because she had money now.

"Oh."

Skylar didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and walked out of the door.

Coralie stood on the balcony and let out a breath of relief when she saw his luxury car drove away.

Last night was just a coincidence, but there might always be a time when she couldn't avoid it.

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

When Coralie finished washing the dishes and was cleaning up the house, her mobile phone rang.
