You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 337

While Abigail was making a reservation for the private room, Coralie and the others were listening on the side...

"Yes, we want the largest private room. Minimum spending? What? Are you afraid that we won't be able to reach the minimum spending price? Prepare the best dishes!"

Abigail's voice was very loud, very much like a nouveau riche.

It was as if she was afraid that Coralie might feel that her "sincerity" was not enough.

"Mom... Where are we going?"

Hendric was happily packing up his stuff inside the room. When he heard the people outside said that they were going to have dinner, he was a little unhappy.

He poked his head out and listened to Abigail talking on the phone as he pouted.

"My dear grand-nephew, I was so busy on the phone that I forgot something important!"

After Abigail said that, the two aunts both took out a little red envelope with money in it and gave it to Hendric.

The envelopes were really thick. From the look of their thicknesses, there was at least 5000 dollars inside!

"You don't have to do that, he's just a child so he doesn't need that." Coralie was so shocked that she immediately stood in front of Hendric and refused them.

She didn't even dare to have dinner with them as she was afraid that it was going to be a feast.

"We've already prepared it anyway."

As Vera spoke, she was about to stuff the envelope into Hendric's palms.

Hendric was also sensible. He shook his head and said, "Mommy told me that I shouldn't accept things from others."

"We're not other people. We're your grandaunts."

"Yes. Call me Grandaunt and this will be yours."

Hearing the two old ladies forcing Hendric to accept them as his family, Coralie was really disgusted and she was thinking about how to drive them out.

However as the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. The two of them were smiling all the time, she could not figure out how to send them away.

"I don't want it!"

After saying that, Hendric ran into the room.

They were smiling too long and their face became a little stiff. The two of them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Okay then, if he takes the money, then we wouldn't be going for dinner tonight. If you want to have dinner together, then he cannot accept the money."

Coralie came up with an idea.

In this way, she would owe them less, and it would be easier to repay them in the future.

"Then..." Abigail looked at Vera and immediately took back the envelope and said, "Then let's have dinner together tonight."

They thought for a while and finally chose to invite Coralie to have dinner with them.

The two stayed in Coralie's house for the whole afternoon. Coralie felt that their conversation was so awkward the whole time.

Coralie finally understood how it felt to not be able to have a proper conversation with someone.

......

During the dinner in the evening, Abigail and Vera's children refused to join. After all, it was the first day of the holidays, so their daughters were with their own families.

There were only five people sitting at a big private room on the large table.

Coralie and Hendric were sitting next to each other. The other four were all more than a meter away from each other, so it was inconvenient for them to talk. They might not even hear each other well if their voices were a little lower.

Coralie sat there and looked at the dishes being served on the table; the table was full of all sorts of delicacies. It was just the five of them, yet there was enough food for 15 people.

When the fifth dish was served, Coralie noticed that something was wrong. She then quickly said, "We aren't going to be able to finish the food, how about we ask them not to serve those that they hadn't prepared yet?"

"No, we've already ordered it. It must be prepared already. It's okay if we don't finish the food. We can just have a taste of it."
