You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 24

"You don't need to know."

Skylar answered.

Although he said so, the middle-aged woman did not let him go. She gave Coralie a brief introduction, "Valerie Rae and Skylar were childhood sweethearts. They were very close when they were young. At that time, they often role played as a married couple. Unexpectedly, when Grandmother fell ill, Skylar married in a rush, which was quite a filial act."

Coralie understood what she meant.

She was trying to say that Coralie took advantage of the situation, and that Skylar did not truly love Coralie, but this girl named Valerie instead.

However, Skylar's reaction just now seemed to indicate this point. This girl named Valerie was an important person to Skylar.

"Elsa, they were just children playing around back then! And, there was even such an incident between them. What's the point of you mentioning it now?"

Grandmother Holland interrupted the middle-aged woman directly.

Elsa Holland was the younger sister of Skylar's father. She was Skylar's aunt.

Her husband was a member of the Rae family. It had always been her goal to set up Valerie and Skylar as a couple.

"Yes, granny, I was wrong." Elsa replied.

Skylar's grandfather had passed away, and Grandmother Holland was now the head of the family. No one dared to disobey her.

Although she had apologised for her words, Elsa was still glaring at Coralie.

"Valerie is a grown up now. Perhaps she already has a boyfriend abroad." Elsa added.

Valerie and Coralie were of the same age, they were both 25 years old.

"Granny, I have to defend Valerie on this. She has always valued Skylar, having no other thoughts about other men. I have no idea what she would think, after hearing about Skylar's marriage."

Even though she knew that Grandmother Holland did not want to hear this, she still wanted to say it out loud.

After all, if the Holland family and Rae family were to unite through marriage, she would be the beneficiary.

Coralie stared at Skylar the whole time, trying to see if she could discover anything.

However, maybe it was because Skylar knew how to disguise his feelings, except for the strange moment when Valerie's name was mentioned, there was no change in his cold eyes after that.

"What are you looking at?" asked Skylar.

Skylar also noticed that Coralie had been staring at him.

"Nothing."

Coralie lowered her head.

At this time, Elsa said, "Valerie will graduate in less than a year. After that, she mentioned that she would come back here to begin her career."

"Less than a year?" Coralie thought.

She did not know why she felt so ironic at this time.

No wonder Skylar said that he was signing a year's contract with her. It was to wait for Valerie's return. By the time the contract was over, he would be free and single again.

"Got it."

Skylar's voice was faint.

Coralie was not sure if it was an illusion, but she felt that when Skylar heard this sentence, his hand, which had been holding her, suddenly loosened.

"By the way, Skylar, your good-luck-bride seems to be really useful. Grandmother Holland was able to be discharged from the hospital in such a short time, it must have been the luck she brought.

Others were only gathering around to watch how the conversation unfolded. Only Elsa was enthusiastically speaking.

She specifically emphasized on the words "Good-luck-bride.", in order to humiliate Coralie and put her in her place. She should not expect to be treated well just because she was now married to Skylar.

"I'm very happy to be able to help grandmother feel better," Coralie said.

Coralie, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly shook her head, and her beautiful eyes met Elsa's eyes. Elsa had heavy makeup and eyeliner on.

Hearing her words, Elsa was a little unhappy. She said those words to hurt Coralie , but unexpectedly, she took it generously.

"Humph, at least you have some common sense." Elsa shook her hand and asked, "I wonder what do the parents of this good-luck-bride work as?"

"I have a name. My name is Coralie Chariott." Coralie retorted.

The title "good-luck-bride" was very condescending. Although everyone in the Holland family knew that she was married to Skylar because of Grandmother Holland's poor health, it was still a nasty thing to hear.
