"Harrison, if your woman spews one more word, you won't need to go to work tomorrow."
Skylar sat there unfazed. He did not move an inch, nor did he talk to Coralie. Instead, he directed his authority on Harrison.
"Shut up and stop talking!" Harrison couldn't control Alison at first, but Skylar personally gave him the order. He had to pull Alison away and apologize to them as he pleaded, "I'm sorry, President Holland. Sorry to disturb your meal."
Coralie frowned. Alison was very agitated while speaking, so her saliva was all over the table.
After they left, Coralie looked up and asked cautiously, "If you don't mind, let me cook for you at home."
Like Coralie, Skylar also saw how the whole table, including the tableware, was contaminated by Alison's saliva. Even if they chose to remain and eat here, it was impossible for them to sit at the same table again.
"Alright."
Skylar nodded and agreed. Since they hadn't ordered any dishes, they got up and left.
......
Coralie was silent all the way.
When they arrived home, Skylar reassured her, "Don't worry. When Howard is released from prison, I will send someone to keep an eye on him. I won't allow him any opportunity to hurt you."
This was the only way for him to protect Coralie.
After all, they had their own work and life schedule, it was implausible for Skylar to keep Coralie by his side 24 hours a day. What he could do was to keep an eye on Howard's actions as much as impossible. If Howard did anything, Skylar could call the police and arrest him in no time.
"Thank you. Should I learn some Taekwondo?"
Coralie tilted her head to the side, thinking that she shouldn't be so weak, waiting to be protected every day.
"Well, women are naturally not as strong as men. If an adult man tries to subdue you, he will not give you a chance to fight back. The disparity strength alone is enough to ensure his success."
Skylar explained.
For an aristocratic family like the Holland family, it was necessary for their children to acquire basic self defense. Skylar had also been learning different skills of self-defense since childhood to protect himself from being kidnapped and to survive in particularly harsh environments.
"Come on, give me some credit. I've also gained a lot of strength moving things around the house on my own, for the past few years."
In the past, Howard was very lazy. It was Coralie alone who took great care of everything at home. She did everything at home and as time passed, she became a tough woman.
"Really? Do you want to try it out?" Skylar raised his hand and pushed Coralie against the wall. His thin lips were just beside her ears, and his voice seductive. "You can try to fight back as much as you want."
Then, he kissed her neck and bit on it lightly.
"I..."
Coralie wanted to raise her hand, but this time, she found out that he was really much stronger. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not even move her hands by one bit.
Skylar only kissed her and there was no next move. However, they were close to each other. His body was pressed against her, and his legs were against hers. She felt that it was difficult to even lift her own feet.
This time, she finally understood what Skylar meant by the disparity in strength between men and women...
In the past, although Skylar had pushed her against the wall, he was still gentle. If she wanted to raise her hand, she could still move it. But this time, he was serious. He pushed her wrist against the wall tightly.
Coralie could only surrender herself against him as he pressed her against the wall, accepting his kiss and his actions.
"Do you know now?"
Skylar raised his head slightly. He had kissed her for five minutes, and Coralie had tried to break free from him the entire time. However, she still found herself motionless and could only be passively kissed by him.
"I get it now."
