You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 54

"Baby, you're my only one..."

When they were almost home, Skylar Holland's phone started to ring.

"It's so late."

When Skylar heard the phone ringing, he complained at first, but when he saw the name on the phone screen, his slightly irritated expression immediately disappeared and became gentle.

Coralie Chariott sat next to him, and she could see the change in Skylar just by turning her head. At the same time, she also guessed who was calling.

"Hello."

"Skylar, are you sleeping?"

"No, I'm not."

Perhaps the night was too quiet. Coralie sat in the passenger seat and she could clearly hear a sweet female voice from the phone.

When Skylar replied to her, his voice became gentle.

It was completely different whenever he spoke to her.

Every time Skylar talked to Coralie, he was always cold. He usually gave orders or looked down on her.

However, the way he spoke to Valerie Rae was totally different. There was even a hint of tenderness in his voice.

"Well, I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply. I guess you were too busy."

"Yes, I was busy."

"Then, I forgive you. It's almost 11 o'clock on your side, right?"

"Yes, it's 10:35 p.m..."

The space inside the car was small, and Coralie did not want to hear the conversation. She wished she could hide.

When she heard Skylar's gentle and slightly tender voice, Coralie's heart seemed to twitch. Her love and admiration for him, and her desire to be loved in return, was suppressed by her low self-esteem as she continued to compare herself to Valerie.

It was impossible for her to fight with Valerie, and she did not have the right to do so. She was not qualified to fight with Valerie.

"I'm only here for bringing good luck," Coralie thought to herself.

Coralie repeated this sentence in her mind to make sure that her heart, her feelings and her actions did not cross the line.

However, the more she tried to suppress them, the more her emotions surged.

"Well, you should rest early. Don't work too hard, or I will feel bad for you."

When Valerie said this, Skylar spoke softly, saying "Good night" before he hung up the phone.

Every sentence was so gentle, and Coralie could only yearn for such admiration from him.

She couldn't help feeling jealous. Although she had no reason for this, she was still jealous. Everything seemed to be spiralling out of control...

Skylar hung up the phone. He looked at Coralie, who was burying her head quite low. Her shoulders trembled slightly. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Perhaps he was still in character. When he asked Coralie this question, his voice was still gentle.

However, Coralie's heart ached badly.

"Stomachache." Coralie clenched her hands and tried her best to suppress her tears. "I ate too much just now. Can I walk back by myself?"

She needed to calm down.

"We'll be home soon. Let's wait until we get into the neighborhood."

Skylar didn't notice anything strange about her. Perhaps he didn't focus on her at that moment.

The car stopped at the gate of the neighborhood.

"Thank you. I will come back later."

After Coralie finished speaking, she got out of the car without looking back and walked quickly into the distance. She had just left for a few meters when tears flowed down.
