You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 318

Jamie stretched out her arms to ask for a hug. Queenie then gave her a hug and stood up immediately after. "You're too reckless. I was so worried about you!"

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Jamie looked at Queenie with pleading eyes.

Queenie had no choice but to say, "Fine, I'll forgive you this time, but there will not be a next."

"Thank you, mom! Give me a kiss!"

Jamie spoke mischievously with her eyes blinking as she laid in bed.

Wayne was watching from behind in a daze; he had never seen Jamie acting like this. Jamie had always done whatever she wanted to. If others disagree with her, she would force others to agree with her in an unpleasant way. There was no need for her to speak in such a coquettish way.

"Look at you!"

Seeing Jamie act that way, Queenie's immediately broke into a smile.

Jamie really knew how to coax her.

"Mom, since you have forgiven me, you should leave now. Sleeping too late at night will affect your complexion. You spend tens of thousands of dollars on facial treatments to maintain your bright and beautiful skin. I would feel guilty if you don't get your beauty sleep because of me."

Jamie knew that Queenie wasn't mad at her anymore, thus she changed her plans and tried to persuade her to go home.

She was worried if Queenie stayed on, she would reprimand Wayne, leaving him in a difficult situation.

Although Queenie was tricked by Jamie, in her head she was still clear on the situation. When she heard Jamie asking her to leave, she immediately refused. "No. Since I'm already here today, let's make things clear."

Queenie was never a woman who was easy to deal with; she would definitely not let Jamie do things her own way.

"Auntie, I..."

"Don't say things like you will be good to Jamie. I don't want to hear that."

Queenie interrupted Wayne before he could finish his words.

"Mom! Isn't it enough that he would be good to me? Men nowadays are not loyal, they cheat and mess around. It's enough that Wayne will treat me well. What else do you want him to do?"

Jamie knew where her mum was going, her ultimate purpose there that night was to make Wayne break up with Jamie.

"Treat you well? You shouldn't believe a man's words so easily. What's more, our family isn't any ordinary family. If a man only had to treat you well to marry you, then any man in the world would qualify for that."

"There is another condition, that is, I like him as well. In this case, there is only one man, isn't it?"

Jamie would definitely think of a way to counter Queenie's questions.

"Jamie, the man you like will change in the future. You may like him now, but it is uncertain in the future. Marriage is a lifetime commitment. If you don't have a good eye, you will end up like his sister, getting married again and again."

The "sister" Queenie referred to was Coralie.

Back then, Coralie met Howard and married the wrong man. A lot of things happened after that, and people were not oblivious about it.

"Auntie Holland, my sister..."

"Mom! It's not related at all. Why are you involving others in this?"

Before Wayne could say anything, Jamie spoke up first. She knew that Wayne would be furious if Queenie said some inappropriate and disrespectful words about Coralie.

"Well, Wayne, I'll give you one year's time. If what you are doing for a living can satisfy me, then I'll agree to let you both be together. If not, I'll arrange a marriage for her with someone else."

Queenie knew very well that since Jamie was here, she couldn't do or say anything. Jamie would definitely get unhappy if she went a little too far, so all she could do was speak her thoughts.

She did not intend to be too hard on Wayne either.

Forcing Wayne into a difficult circumstance would make Jamie upset and she did not want to hurt her relationship with her daughter because of an 'outsider'.

"Mom! One year is too short!"

Jamie raised an objection immediately.

"You're already 26 years old. How many more years do you want? Until you're 30?"

"Auntie, I agree to that."

Wayne, who had been quiet for a while, broke his silence and agreed to Queenie's conditions.
