You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 1

[I used to think that Skylar Holland might be the man who hated me the most in the world. But later I realized, if there were a man in the world who had loved me the deepest, he must be Skylar. —Coralie Chariott.]

[When I first saw Coralie, I was captivated. No drug could save me, but only love did. —Skylar Holland.]

"Honey, you've worked hard recently. When mother gets better, you can move back here."

When Coralie Chariott received the text message from her husband Howard Schultz, she was already downstairs of her house.

Recently, her mother-in-law was in poor health, so Howard had asked her to move into her mother-in-law's house to take care of her daily needs. She would only return home once a week.

Today, her mother-in-law's stomach didn't feel too well. In the afternoon, she had thrown up on Coralie three times. She had no choice but to go home to change her clothes.

As soon as Coralie entered the door, she tripped over the shoes at the door.

She turned around and saw two pairs of shoes at the entrance, a pair of men's black leather shoes and a pair of red high heels.

Coralie had not worn high heels for many years and that pair of shoes did not belong to her.

"Ah..."

A woman's flirtatious voice came from the bedroom.

Coralie's heart jolted.

She quietly walked towards the bedroom.

Then came the voice of a man. Initially, Coralie wanted to open the door, but her fingers were stiff and her mind went blank.

Through the crack of the door, Coralie could clearly see that Howard was thrusting on top of another woman on the big bed.

The woman under him was blocked by Howard's body. Coralie could only see the woman's curly hair spreading along the pillow and towards the bed frame.

When she was in college, she used to be a dormitory monitor. At that time, her roommates liked to call her Sister Corrie. Upon graduation, everyone went their separate ways and only one person remained in A city.

Coralie was wondering why the woman's voice sounded so familiar.

Looking at the long chestnut-colored curly hair, she could almost be sure that it was her best friend, Alison Herman, who was lying under her husband's body.

"Then tell me, do you love me, or do you love Sister Corrie?" Alison's arms wrapped around the man's neck like a snake.

However, when she was talking, she glanced at the door with her heavily made-up eyes and her red lips curled up.

A provocative smile appeared on her face.

"Of course I love you. You are so coquettish."

Howard did not know that the two women's eyes had met, as he was totally focused on Alison.

Coralie stood at the door, and her initial blank mind exploded.

The door was slammed open.

Howard turned around and saw Coralie standing at the door. His face was full of shock. "Honey."

"Sister Corrie." A strong dissatisfaction was obvious in Alison's voice as her enjoyment had been disrupted. "Didn't you enjoy watching it? Why don't you continue watching it for a while more?"

"How are you going to explain this?"

Coralie's eyes were getting teary. This man was on top of another woman, and yet he still called her honey?

"Honey, hurry and explain it to Sister Corrie." Alison sat up, put her arms around Howard's waist and pressed her voluptuous body against him. She said coquettishly, "If you don't explain it well, I'll leave then."

Upon hearing Alison's words, Howard immediately straightened his back and said in a tough voice, "What else is there to explain? Didn't you see everything?"

She didn't go back to her mother-in-law's house until nine o'clock in the evening.

When she got home, her mother-in-law, Morgana Lane was sitting on the sofa and scolded her, "Why did you come back so late? Do you want to starve me to death?"

Coralie stood at the door and she was stunned. "Did Howard not tell you?"

Morgana was dissatisfied. "My son is so busy. What did he need to tell me? Hurry up and cook. I'm starving."

Coralie did not say a word. She put down her bag and went into the kitchen. She skillfully washed the rice and vegetables, and cut them into bite sizes.

However, it was inevitable that she felt a little bitter in her heart.

After she graduated from college, in order to take good care of her mother-in-law's daily needs, she had given up the opportunity to work for a big company and found a job with a salary of only 1000 dollars. She chose an office that was close to her mother-in-law's home and her own home.

For three consecutive years, she had come to cook for Morgana as soon as she got off work every day, and then went back to her own home to cook.

Initially, she had thought that Morgana still liked her more or less.

However, this was the first time that she had come back late but her mother-in-law didn't even ask about her and only cared about herself being hungry.

"Ah!"

Coralie absentmindedly cut her hand while she was cutting the vegetables.

She rushed to the sink to rinse the blood off her hand, and then went out of the kitchen to look for a band-aid.

When she came out and saw that there was no one in the living room, she didn't think much about it and went to the TV cabinet to get a band-aid.

As she was putting on the band aid, she saw that Morgana was making a phone call on the balcony.
