"I set it up for her. Do you have any problem with that?"
Before Coralie Chariott could speak, Skylar Holland, who had entered the house, answered for her.
In fact, the answer was obvious, but Lillian Ford didn't give up. She had to ask about this.
"But, Skylar, you set up the access for her so casually. What if she decides to steal from the house?"
Lillian went in and said. Coincidentally, the position where she stood happened to be next to Coralie.
"Although my family is poor, I have moral standards,"
Coralie said this and followed her into the door. She didn't want to talk to Lillian anymore.
She had no clue what Lillian had gone through and why she looked down on ordinary people. She recalled that Grandmother Holland said that Lillian was from an ordinary family too.
"Moral standards? Everything is bullsh*t when there's temptation of money!"
Lillian watched Coralie enter and didn't want to let her go.
However, at this time, Skylar stood between them, like a high wall. "She is my wife. As my mother, I hope you won't cross the line."
Coralie stood behind him and felt a sense of warmth, when she heard Skylar's words of assistance.
She whispered, "Thank you."
Then, she went into the kitchen with the groceries.
Grandmother Holland witnessed all of this.
"You two are married? Have you registered your marriage and received the certificate?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you discuss with me with regards to such an important matter?"
Lillian panicked in an instant. What was happening? She thought that Skylar and Coralie were at most in love, but she didn't expect that they had registered their marriage and gotten the marriage certificate.
"That's enough. Skye is an adult. Does he need to get your approval to get married? Don't tell me that if you don't like this, you won't let him marry her?"
Grandmother Holland was helped by a servant to come over. Her voice was very pleasant but dignified.
Lillian was unable to refute this. Of course, she liked Valerie Rae, who was smart and sensible. Besides, Valerie always buy her dresses and bags from designer labels and exclusive brands.
Lillian did not work, she received an allowance from Skylar's father every month. If Valerie was her daughter-in-law and provided her with branded goods regularly, she could save her own money to buy something else.
"Yes, yes. Mom, you're right."
On the surface, Lillian accepted this, because she was not in a hurry. She believed that with Valerie's return, Skylar would be able to make the right decision.
At this time, Skylar also entered the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There's no need for that, thank you." After saying that, Coralie remembered that Skylar had helped to defend her against Lillian's threats just now. She spoke again, "Also, thank you for your help at the door just now."
"Granny is watching us. I don't want her to suspect anything,"
Skylar explained.
"Oh, I see. That's right. Grandmother Holland was sitting in the living room just now. Looks like i have forgotten this after going out for groceries,"
Coralie bit her lip and said awkwardly.
It turned out that he was doing this for Grandmother Holland, she's making a fool of herself.
For dinner, Coralie cooked a variety of dishes, but most of them were relatively light, in order to adapt to Grandmother Holland's taste.
"Well, the dishes were all delicious. Skye, you have to come back for dinner regularly in the future. Men work hard outside so that they can come home to eat with their families."
It was the first time Grandmother Holland had eaten the dishes prepared by Coralie. They were refreshing and delicious. There was not much oil and salt in them. She was quite particular about this.
