You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 26

As the son of the Holland family, it was compulsory for him to learn defensive martial arts since he was a child.

Naturally, it was not a problem for Skylar to fight against one or two men.

He gave them a beating, but he was also slightly injured.

"You'd better beware!" the drunkard warned.

"Wait! Brat!" the other drunkard threatened.

The two drunk men were beaten up so badly that they had sobered up.

Skylar rubbed the corners of his eyes. Seeing the drunk men flee, he recalled Coralie's phone call that night.

He felt annoyed and impatient.

He turned around and went back to Coralie's house.

"Knock, knock, knock."

At this time, Coralie had just taken a shower. She changed into her pajamas and was ready to go to bed.

When she heard someone knocking on the door, she asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

She wondered who would come to see her in the middle of the night.

"It's me."

It was Skylar's voice.

Coralie shouted, "Wait, wait a minute!"

She ran all the way back to the bedroom, took off her nightdress and changed it into a casual dress. Of course, she made sure to put on all her undergarments properly.

After carefully confirming that she did not look seductive at all, she opened the door.

"What took you so long?" asked Skylar.

Skylar stood at the door and looked at Coralie who was so well-dressed . He knew that she was changing her attire just now.

"Did you forget something?" Coralie asked. When she looked up, she saw a bruise on his forehead. She nervously pulled him in. "What's wrong? Did you fall and hit something?"

She would never have imagined that Skylar had a fight with two drunk men outside just now.

It was also because of her.

"Your community is so run-down. How do you live here?" Skylar did not answer her question, but questioned her instead.

"Well, I'm planning to move out after a while." Coralie said.

After the previous incident, Coralie was planning to move out once she gotten her salary. After all, she would need to pay not only the rental but also a deposit for a new home. It would be a large amount of money for her to cough up.

"Didn't you say that there was a drunk man who attacked you last time? And you still live here?" he asked.

Skylar was impatient.

Coralie looked at him in surprise. Last time, he did not believe her. "What has happened? Did he really fall on his head and suddenly figured it out?" she thought.

"Are you actually concerned about me?" Coralie asked.

Although he was not looking at her, Coralie still felt that he genuinely cared about her.

At least it seemed so.

She could not help but feel warm deep down.

"I married you to bring my grandmother good luck. It would be bad if you died midway our 'journey'," he explained.

Coralie listened to his explanation. She was not sure if his explanation made sense or not.

"But even if I leave now, I have no place to go to," she said.

"You can stay at my place," Skylar asserted.

He replied her question immediately, as if he had been waiting for Coralie to ask this from the beginning.

"No, I'll rent a place tomorrow. I don't think it's a big deal to spend another night here today."

Their relationship was just a contract.

It was a lie, to put it bluntly.
