You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 185

What Coralie said were actually out of Houston's expectation.

After all, ordinary people would yearn to born in rich families. Although Zac family wasn't considered an extremely wealthy family, they still had a good reputation in B City.

"I've already confessed to my wife."

Houston said.

Although he acted on impulse that day, Coralie's reaction was out of his expectation.

"Uncle Zac, I am very glad that you told me these, but I love my parents very much. They treat me very well, I don't want to hurt them."

In Coralie's view, even if Houston was really her biological father, it was merely a blood relationship.

The grace of nurturing is greater than the grace of childbearing.

"If anyone else got hold of such an opportunity, they would never let it go. It is because you are married to Skylar that you..."

"No, Uncle Zac. You're right. Because I married Skylar, I realized how incompatible I am with someone like you."

Facing Houston's suspicions, she spelled everything out.

If she hadn't married Skylar, she wouldn't have known she was a fish out of water in the circle.

She only wanted a simple life. If it not for the love she had for Skylar, she would have avoided the circle long ago.

"Okay, I see."

The car arrived at the restaurant.

There was a doorman who opened the door for them. Then, the two of them went to the second floor and then sat down on the best seat in the restaurant. The night view of B City was right outside.

The waiter in a neat suit brought the menu over for them.

Houston asked Coralie to order first. Coralie skimmed through the menu and ordered a single meal set. Then, she told Houston frankly, "Uncle Zac, I'm sorry, since I have never been to such a high-end restaurant, I could only order a set meal."

"You've never been here?"

Houston was a little surprised. He thought that after Coralie married Skylar, she would have come to places like that very often. After all, Skyton Corporation was a large enterprise in A City.

"No, I don't like places like this. I feel very out of place."

Coralie said frankly.

However, she used 'out of place' to describe the situation.

Houston looked at Coralie. She bore a resemblance to Madison, as well as her stubbornness and uncompromising character.

If Madison wasn't stubborn, she wouldn't have left when she was pregnant after knowing Houston was married and went to A City by herself.

After dinner, Houston sent Coralie back to the hotel where she stayed.

When Coralie got out of the car, he followed her. He tidied up her coat for her and said, "Coralie, I respect your decision, but no matter what, you are still my child. I owe you and your mother for what I did in the past. Now that your mother passed away, I could only make up to you. If anything happens to you in the future, no matter how big or small, I will help you as long as I'm able to."

"Thank you, Uncle Zac."

Coralie bowed respectfully at Houston.

Houston nodded, "Coralie, you're going back to A City the day after tomorrow, aren't you? Just take it as me being selfish, it's not too much to hear you call me Dad for once, is it?"

Houston was reminded of Madison when he looked at Coralie.

He reminisced about his youth. Although he developed wrong feeling at a wrong time, it was his true feelings.

Coralie thought about it for a long time before saying, "Good night, Dad."
