"Madison Carter."
Rosa thought that she hadn't spoken clearly. Hence, she articulated the name clearly again.
Unbeknownst to her, Coralie had heard her clearly; she just couldn't believe her ears.
"Coralie, what's the matter?"
Skylar found out that Coralie was acting strange.
He saw that Coralie was looking at Rosa in a daze. Her eyes were glistening as if there were tears in them.
"It's nothing," said Coralie. Then, she suddenly stood up and scooped Hendric into her arms. "Auntie Carter, it's getting late. Hendric has to sleep soon. We'll visit you another day."
"Oh?"
Rosa also noticed the change in Coralie, but she didn't think much about it. She thought that Hendric was really going to sleep. Therefore, she asked the servants to see Coralie, Skylar and Hendric off.
When they got home, Coralie coaxed Hendric to sleep. The two of them also then went to bed. When they were alone, Skylar hugged Coralie and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know who Madison Carter is?"
Although Skylar knew the relation between Coralie and Houston, he did not know Coralie's mother's name.
"Madison Carter... she's my mother."
Coralie laid in Skylar's arms. The faint peppermint scent of his wafted to her nose.
"She's Houston's..."
"Yes, she's my birth mother."
Coralie answered.
"No wonder you look a little like Rosa."
After that, the truth was clear.
Fate must have enabled them to meet in a foreign country.
"In fact, I almost wanted to say that Madison was my mother just now. However, I don't know how I should answer if she asked about how Madison's doing. She's already so old, and she has no one else around her. This sister of hers was probably the only person she had."
Coralie explained.
She had an inkling that Rosa and Madison were close. Perhaps Rosa had grown nostalgic with age.
"Then don't say it. We happened to meet by chance, and you can just say that you didn't find her."
"Alright."
Coralie nodded.
She felt that what Skylar had said was the best solution.
"Is it time for us to solve our own problems now, my dear wife?"
Having said that, Skylar turned over and propped up his body with his arms. His body was pressed against Coralie's.
"I..." Coralie began in an embarrassed manner when she saw the eager look on Skylar's face. "During dinner, I discovered something..."
"What is it?"
"I'm on my period..."
Coralie's words ruined the beautiful plans they had for the weekend!
She was just staying for the week. It was already the third day and there were still four days left for them; her menstruation would not end by then yet.
Looking at his nether region, Coralie was also rather upset.
"Then what should I do..."
Skylar rested his head on his arm. His expression looked both innocent and depressed.
"Why don't... I help you..."
Coralie said as she blinked. She had done it several times before so she considered herself to be quite experienced.
Skylar's eyes were fixed on Coralie's groin for a long time before he said unhappily, "We only have four days left. Wouldn't it be too tiring for my dear wife?"
"Dream on!"
Hearing Skylar's words, Coralie laughed, not knowing what else to say.
