You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 48

Seeing the message, Coralie Chariott's hand trembled slightly.

She tended to be nervous whenever she saw Skylar Holland's name.

After thinking for a moment, she replied with a single word. "Ok.".

When she got off work, Coralie spotted Skylar immediately as she stepped out of the company. He was waiting for her in a closer position than the place where he usually waited for Corrine Quincy.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Coralie put her hand in her bag and touched the household registration booklet, marriage certificate, and the bank cards in it.

"Yes."

Skylar's expression seemed unpleasant.

Coralie thought that he must be still angry with her. After all, her words were rather out of line when she spoke to Lillian Ford in front of him that day.

Although Coralie felt that Lillian was wrong, she also knew that generally, men would stand on their mother's side unconditionally.

Howard Schultz was like that back then.

Howard's mother once complained that Coralie was lazy because she cooked the same dishes twice a week. Coralie complained to Howard about this, but in the end, he sided with his mother without hesitation, saying that she did not fulfill her duty as a daughter-in-law.

Skylar took Coralie to a Japanese restaurant.

The private room they were in was tatami-styled.

"I'm so sorry to make you pay for this."

This was the first thing Coralie said when she entered the restaurant. The restaurant was not located in a shopping mall or an office building. It was a shop on its own. It was decorated in a Japanese style, all the way from the entrance to the inside of the shop.

Before arriving at the private room, they had to pass through a special Japanese-styled courtyard. In such a place where land was scarce and valuable, the owners were willing to waste so much space to build a courtyard, which meant that the cost could definitely be earned back.

When Skylar heard her words, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her. Then, he turned to the waiter to order some dishes. "I've made a reservation. Your boss knew this. In addition, we want another two pots of your boss's self-manufactured plum wine."

Coralie sat there and looked at Skylar talking politely to the waiter, showing his good manners. She forgot to take her eyes off him.

When Skylar was done ordering, he turned around and noticed Coralie staring at him with her beautiful misty eyes. There was a light smile on her face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a sense of appreciation, and perhaps, obsession.

When she was in college, she used to look at him this way, but he hadn't seen this for many years.

"How long are you going to continue staring at me?"

Skylar reminded her with a faint expression.

Coralie came to her senses, and she looked a little embarrassed. She apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry."

Facing her embarrassment, Skylar couldn't help but ask, "Coralie, do you have to be so polite to me?"

"I..."

Coralie was feeling conflicted, and the waiter's voice could be heard from outside the sliding door of the room. "Hello, dear guests. It's time to serve you your food." Then, the sliding door opened, and the waiter knelt down and served the dishes for them.

As the dishes were ordered by Skylar beforehand, they were served quickly at one go.

The waiter knelt on the side again and asked, "Would you like me to pour you some wine?"

Skylar waved his hand and said, "No, thanks. Please do not come in unless I call for you."
