"What did he say when he took her away?"
Skylar came over to ask Harvey.
Skylar didn't expect that Yohan would notice so quickly.
Maybe Yohan had been too placid recently, so they poured all their attention on Hendric's illness and overlooked him.
"It's the same thing that happened two years ago. Your company's investment was obtained at the price of Coralie's engagement to Yohan. He wants to take her back now."
That year, Harvey took Skylar to the dam where they saw Yohan crying his heart out for Coralie. They understood why Yohan came to take Coralie away.
"I want Mom, I want Mom."
Hendric, who was at the side, knew that Coralie had been taken away and he couldn't stop crying.
Xenia couldn't calm Hendric down no matter how hard she tried.
Skylar came over and held Hendric in his arms to comfort him. "I will find Mom very soon. Can you stop crying, Hendric?"
"Mom was taken away by a bad guy."
Hendric held Skylar with his tiny hands, and his eyes were red from crying.
"I will save Mom."
Hearing Skylar's words, Hendric stopped crying. After he put Hendric in the cot, he continued to think of a way.
......
Coralie got in Yohan's car. She didn't know where Yohan would take her.
In the car, Yohan had been restraining Coralie. He remarked with irritation, "Corrie, to be honest, I knew it as soon as you came back. I'd been waiting for you to contact me, but you didn't. At first, you didn't contact Skylar, so I wasn't in a bad mood, but later, you actually got together with Skylar..."
"No, I didn't intend to contact anyone. It was him who found me."
Coralie explained.
She tried her best to appease Yohan.
"Then do you still remember the investment agreement that year? It clearly stated that you are not allowed to have any intimate contact with Skylar for three years..."
Yohan put his arm on Coralie's shoulder. It was obvious that he didn't use too much strength, but he imprisoned Coralie and made her unable to escape.
"Actually, Yohan, you are rich and handsome now. You can be considered a golden bachelor. As for me, I have divorced twice, and I have a child. I haven't been grooming myself in recent years. I am old and ugly now. I don't deserve you at all. There should be a better girl for you."
Coralie's words belied the puzzlement in her heart.
Coralie did not understand why Yohan was so fixated on her.
Was it just a man's desire to win?
"The other girls don't deserve me at all." Yohan leaned over and pinched Coralie's chin. He looked at her with his angular face. "They can't accept the cowardly, inferior, and poor image of me when I was a child. They don't deserve to have the present me."
"No, Yohan, there are a lot of kind-hearted girls. You just haven't met them."
Yohan's preference had completely fenced off all other women, leaving Coralie alone.
The woman who had been willing to protect Yohan because of her kindness when she was a child.
"I don't need to meet them. I only need to have met you." Yohan was obsessed with Coralie. "Next week, I'll take you back to my country and introduce you to my parents and my brother."
"They'll never accept me."
Coralie did not expect that Yohan would make this decision. She thought Yohan would only force her to stay by his side to satisfy his desire for triumph.
However, Coralie didn't expect that Yohan would take her to see his parents.
"They will."
Yohan said with certainty.
The car drove towards the east for more than an hour before it stopped.
