You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 75

"I..."

Coralie didn't know how to explain about the birthday present. As a wife, it seemed unreasonable that she didn't give a gift to her husband.

"That's our own business, not yours."

Skylar said bluntly.

Valerie was very smart. She saw that Skylar was defending Coralie, so she stopped talking about this topic.

"By the way, is Grandmother Holland really all right? When I went to see her, the handkerchief she coughed on seemed to be a little red, as if she was coughing blood."

Valerie asked.

"Really?" Skylar asked.

"Well, is Granny hiding something from us?"

Valerie said with concern.

Skylar was worried. After all, he loved Grandmother Holland very much, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

When Valerie left, Coralie said, "About the birthday present, I'll make it up to you later. Do you have something in mind?"

At this moment, the only thing she could do was to see if she could make it up to him.

"My birthday is already over this year. Let's talk about this next year."

"Next year?" Coralie frowned. She was not sure if she would still be with Skylar next year. "I'll give you something this year. Let me think about it."

"Coralie, I've already said next year. Why do you keep harping on this?"

How could Skylar not know what Coralie was thinking? Next year, at this time, their contract would have expired. If nothing strange happened, they should be separated by then.

However, this idea made him feel more furious.

"Okay, I'll give you something next year."

Coralie agreed, and she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.

......

Coralie lived in Skylar's house. As her foot was getting better, she was considering going to work after a week's rest.

It was Wednesday. At six o'clock in the evening, someone knocked on the door.

Coralie's first reaction was that Skylar had returned early. She opened the door without hesitation, but it was Howard who was standing outside.

She was stunned by this.

When she wanted to close the door, it was too late. Howard placed one foot on the door frame so she could not close it.

"Coralie, not bad, you're living a comfortable life."

Howard sounded resentful. He didn't expect that Coralie could find such a good marriage after divorcing him.

"Leave now, or I'll call the police."

Coralie desperately wanted to close the door, but Howard did not allow her to do so.

"Well, we were once husband and wife. Why do you want to drive me away so quickly? Are you afraid of your lover? Oh, no, I mean your husband who might misinterpret this if he came back?"

Howard didn't know who Coralie had married, but his thoughts were the same as before. He thought that she had married an old man.

"Howard, why are you so shameless? You had an affair, and I didn't even ask for anything. Why are you pestering me here right now?"

"Hey, I have the right to pester you. I'm just curious. I want to see who has taken over my ex-wife."
