You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 16

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Coralie eventually fell asleep while in a daze.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A gentle knock came from the door.

Coralie was sleeping, but when she heard the sound, she woke up from her sleep instantly.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The gentle knocking on the door slowly became a little urgent.

Coralie glanced at her mobile phone and it was already past one o'clock midnight. She got up from her bed, slowly walked to the door and peeked through the peephole. It was still dark outside, and even the moonlight seemed to have dimmed a lot. She could only see a vague outline of the person who was standing in front of her door. Judging from the height of that person, it seemed to be a man.

"Who is it?"

She asked softly.

"It's me."

A moment later, a man's magnetic voice rang out in the darkness. It was a little hoarse, but it was like a bright star in the night sky.

Skylar Holland?

"He's here?"

Coralie opened the door.

Skylar stood at the door. He was wearing a pair of black casual pants and a sapphire blue T-shirt. His hair was not styled stiffly like how it was in the daytime, some strands were hanging loose against his forehead.

He seemed to look.. more gentle than usual.

"You, why are you here?"

Coralie was standing, holding her mobile phone in her hand. For a moment, she didn't know where to put it.

For some reason, when she saw him standing here, she felt a little surprised. No matter what the reason was, his arrival made Coralie feel safe.

"Where is he? Didn't you say that someone was smashing your door?"

Skylar stood outside of the door, showing no intention of moving.

He looked around the room and found that the room was clean and tidy. There were no signs that someone had entered the house.

"Well, it seems that he's gone."

Coralie stood there in shock. She didn't expect that that would be his first sentence.

It was not until then that she realized that the drunk man had left when she had fallen asleep.

"He's gone?"

"Well, I'm sorry. I was really scared at that time, so I accidentally pressed on your phone number." Coralie looked at the man standing at the door and slightly shifted her body to make way for him. She said politely, "Why don't you come in and have a seat? It's not as grand as your mansion, but I keep it clean every day."

This man came all the way for her. No matter what the reason was, he must have been concerned about her.

Coralie turned around and wanted to get him a cup of water from the kitchen. At that instant, a mocking voice came from behind. "You really want me to go in, isn't it?"

His voice was very soft and had a playful pitch to it, which was unlike how he usually was.

Coralie was stunned and she turned around to explain, "No, I just thought that you had come all the way here so it wouldn't feel right if I didn't even invite you in for a drink."

"Are you used to dressing like this, and inviting men into your house for a drink?"

Skylar stood there. The woman in front of him was wearing a beige silk nightdress. Its length ended midway at her thighs, and it had black lace edges.

Most of her fair thighs were exposed.

Her long hair was tied up into a bun, which loosely fastened behind her head and had some loose strands draped along her shoulders.

How could a woman invite a man to come in for a drink, dressed like this?
