You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 71

Coralie's attitude formed a huge contrast to Valerie's words just now. Not only was she not angry, but she was very calm and she did not seem to care at all about what happened.

"Coralie, you are really taking your role as a contractual wife seriously!"

Skylar looked at her, and his eyes were full of anger, but he didn't know how to vent his annoyance.

"Thank you for your compliments!"

Coralie carried the groceries, opened the door with the entrance card, and then took out a pair of slippers for Skylar. She waited at the door to help him take off his coat.

However, her rebellious character caused Skylar to feel really angry.

Deep down in his heart, he would prefer Coralie to kick up a fuss about this matter to prove that he was important to her. However, everything seemed to indicate that she really regarded him as an employer, an emotionless employer.

"Coralie, you are really..."

He wanted to say the word 'terrible'. If it was in the past, he would not hesitate, but this time, Skylar controlled himself and went upstairs angrily.

Downstairs, Coralie asked, "President Holland, do you need dinner later?"

"There's no need for that. Valerie and I have eaten outside,"

He deliberately said so.

Coralie thought so too. After all, they were together at this time. It was likely that they went shopping and had afternoon tea or something.

However, in actual fact, Valerie had a short-term internship in Skylar's company, and he had lent her the car when he returned home.

Coralie knew that she bought too much groceries, but she didn't say anything. She separated them into portions and put them into the refrigerator, and then she made a small meal for herself.

Skylar didn't know that Coralie had been waiting for him the entire day. She had hoped that he could sit opposite her at night and have dinner together. That was all.

......

In the middle of the night, Coralie was half-asleep, but she heard a light groan from outside. She turned around and saw that the other side of the bed was empty. When she got up, she pushed the door open and saw Skylar in a half-kneeling position in the corridor. He had a painful expression on his face.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing Coralie coming out, Skylar immediately straightened himself up slightly and pretended to be calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed him.

"What's wrong with you? Don't tell me that you're suffering from acute appendicitis? I'll call an ambulance."

Coralie became nervous upon seeing him in this state. Unconsciously, she was expecting the worst case scenario.

However, when she was about to get the phone, he stopped her. "Go and help me to get two painkillers and some stomach medication from the medical kit."

"Are you having gastritis?" Coralie looked at Skylar suspiciously. "You didn't eat at night, did you?"

"Why do you have so many questions?"

Coralie knew that he didn't want to say anything, so she hurried downstairs to get the stomach medication and water. After handing them to Skylar, she went downstairs to heat up some milk.

Then, she helped Skylar to lie down on the bed.

"I'll get you some milk."

Coralie went downstairs to get the hot milk and she gave it to Skylar. Just now, she saw that his face was still pale, and now, he seemed a little better. She could not help reprimanding him. "Why didn't you tell me that you didn't have dinner? Why are you throwing a tantrum? You're not a child anymore."

Skylar raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were gentle and she seemed anxious. He also seemed to be in a better mood, but he still said, "Are you concerned for me?"

Thinking of the pained expression he had just now due to his stomach pain, Coralie felt distressed.

She stretched out her hand to hold Skylar's hand and said very seriously, "Yes, I am concerned for you. You might hate me, but I still hope that you won't punish yourself. I will feel distressed if you do that."

Every word of hers, every syllable that she said, was particularly earnest.

Skylar stared at her in a daze. The imposing boundaries that he had erected around his heart were about to collapse. He pinched her cheek with his slender fingers and asked, "Distressed?"
