Coralie could clearly feel that Skylar's body was trembling slightly.
She knew that the pain in Skylar's leg had recurred again. His leg was fine for the past few days, but yet it had returned at that moment!
"What's wrong with Skylar?"
Queenie was the nearest to them, and she was the first to notice Skylar's anomaly.
Skylar held Coralie tightly with both hands and forced out two words between his teeth, "Kiss me."
Coralie understood what Skylar meant.
He didn't want others to know about his leg. He had worked so hard to hide it from others for a long time, and he could not let it be revealed on that day.
Coralie slightly tilted her head back and used all of her strength to push Skylar away slightly. After that, she put her lips on his.
She held Skylar in her arms and felt Skylar's lips were dripping with sweat.
Standing by the side, Harvey noticed that something was unusual. He immediately said, "Everyone, let's get going. Leave the rest of the time to them."
The people around them also noticed the abnormality. However, now that Coralie and Skylar suddenly kissed, no one dared to go up and asked further.
Valerie was still crying on the floor. She raised her head when she heard the commotion, only to see Skylar's legs were stiff and trembling. It was clear that something was wrong.
"Skylar, what's wrong?"
Valerie went up to Skylar.
Xenia had heard Harvey mention Skylar's leg condition before. Now that they were behaving in that way, Xenia was able to guess what was going on.
She grabbed Valerie, who was about to storm on stage, and said, "Valerie, let it go. You have done enough shameful things for today. Leave quickly."
Xenia's words were poisonous and they made Valerie speechless.
With Harvey and Xenia's help, everyone left.
Coralie and Skylar's lips were sealed tightly. Skylar's sweat began to drip onto her face, ruining her makeup bit by bit.
When Skylar's legs became slightly better, he looked up and saw that Carolie's makeup was ruined.
He froze for a moment, then quickly picked up a napkin from the table next to him and wiped Carolie's face. However, he did not expect that he was making it worse.
Coralie also felt that her makeup was ruined. She pushed him away and said with a smile, "It's fine, stop wiping it. You've turned me into a messy cat."
"This messy cat belongs to me."
Skylar lifted Coralie's chin with his bony fingers and gave her a deep kiss.
Xenia and Harvey were laughing as they watched the lovebirds from the side. They knew that Skylar's leg was getting better.
"Skylar, I'm leaving first. You guys should stay behind and continue your public display of affection."
Harvey pulled Xenia and left.
As Xenia walked out of the banquet hall, she seemed to think of something. She quickly turned around and shouted, "Don't forget my gift for you in the dressing room. I'll hate you if you forget!'¹
Coralie then remembered that Xenia gave her various sets of costumes in the dressing room...
With the hotel staff's help, they placed the big plastic bag into the trunk of Skylar's car.
Then, the two of them returned home.
When Coralie was washing her face at home, she carefully took off the 30 million dollar diamond ring and put it beside the sink.
She was not used to wearing a ring. However, because she needed to wash her face and remove her makeup, she took off the ring from her finger as she was afraid that she would damage it.
When she was nearly done, Skylar had already changed into a new set of clothes.
He walked into the bathroom, put his arms around Coralie's waist, and asked softly, "What was the recording about just now?" "Hmm..." Coralie's first thought was to hide it from Skylar.
