Coralie stayed with Skylar at the rehabilitation center for two days.
On Sunday night, Coralie told Skylar that she would be headed back to the city, and that she would be back to accompany him the next weekend.
Skylar nodded. Since four o'clock in the evening, Skylar's car had already been on standby at the entrance of the rehabilitation center. The weather outside was cold, but Skylar insisted on sending her to the entrance.
"I'll be off then. See you next week." Coralie said.
"Okay." Skylar's expression was unchanging, but as Coralie turned to leave, he pulled her to his side and kissed her again. He said softly, "I'll wait for you."
Skylar kissed Coralie right in front of the medical staff.
The nurse next to them cried out, "Wow!"
"Alright, go."
Skylar knew that Coralie was shy, so he tousled her hair and sent her away.
As Coralie got out of Skylar's car when she reached home, she saw Wayne carrying a bag of vegetables from afar with Hendric.
"Dad's car!"
Hendric shouted in glee at the sight of Skylar's car.
In the few months Hendric spent together with Skylar, he rode in the car every day. Hence, it comes as no surprise that he would recognise it.
"Coralie? Have you reconciled with Skylar?"
Wayne knew that Coralie had left a message saying that she would be away over the weekend, but he did not know where she went. Seeing Coralie arrive in Skylar's car, he had a hunch.
"Yeah."
Coralie nodded with Hendric in her arms.
Hendric knew the Skylar that Wayne mentioned was his dad. He quickly wrapped his arms around Coralie's neck and said, "Mom, I miss Dad. Can we go see him?"
In the face of Hendric's question, Coralie hesitated.
After all, with Skylar's current state, she definitely did not want Hendric to see him. If Coralie wanted to bring Hendric over, she would have to discuss it with Skylar first.
"Hendric, Dad is very busy with work. When he's available again, I'll bring you there, okay?"
Coralie carried Hendric up the stairs.
Wayne followed behind them.
Wayne asked, "Coralie, what time do the staff of Skyton Corporation get off work?"
"Get off work?"
Coralie turned to look at Wayne. "Why is he asking about Skyton Corporation?" Coralie thought.
"That's right." Wayne said.
"Why the sudden interest? Do you want to work for Skyton Corporation?"
"No, no." Wayne hesitated and said, "To be honest, Jamie has recently taken up a position in Skyton Corporation. I want to know what time she gets off work so that I can pick her up."
Wayne had once said that if Coralie and Skylar were together, he would woo Jamie George.
This was actually nothing more than an excuse. Wayne had been in love with Jamie since he was in college, but due to Coralie's influence, he always felt that there was a gap between the two families, so he did not dare confess.
However, Wayne had recently been promoted to a supervisory position at the bank he worked at due to his stellar performance. He thought it would be a good opportunity as any for him to now confess his feelings for Jamie.
"6 p.m."
"That is a little after I get off work. Great!"
Wayne was turning 25 this year while Jamie was turning 26. Both of them were at the right age to get married.
"Wayne, if you want to pursue Jamie, you know what you'll be getting yourself into, right?"
Coralie said as Wayne was about to unlock the door. They were already at the entrance of the house.
"Yes."
