You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 51

"I don't intend to let you sleep in the guest room."

Skylar Holland stared at the computer screen without squinting as he spoke, and his fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, tapping the letters.

"What?" Coralie Chariott was a little confused. What did he mean when he said that he did not intend to let her sleep in the guest room? She asked, "You don't want me to sleep on the sofa, do you?"

Skylar stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at Coralie. "Granny is very smart. If we sleep separately, she will see through our act at a glance. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, sleep in the master bedroom with me."

This was the third time Skylar had used his grandmother as an excuse, but Coralie could not refute this.

Although Grandmother Holland was old, she was aware of everything that was going on around her. If Skylar and herself lived separately, she would discover this.

"Why don't I sleep on the sofa in your bedroom?"

Coralie did not give up.

Skylar finally got angry. He stood up and approached Coralie step by step. The height difference between them caused Coralie to feel small. "Coralie, how old are you? 15 or 20 years old?"

"I..."

"You are 25 years old, and you are no longer a virgin. Can you stop pretending to be innocent? You have slept with another man for three years. Now, you are trying to pretend that you are pure, aren't you? Why? Don't tell me that you are not ready for this when you are moving in with me? Or are you trying to play hard to get again?"

Skylar's words woke Coralie up.

She also began to laugh at herself. "Yes, I'm just pretending to be pure. I thought President Holland would like this. Since you don't like this, then I will stop pretending. President Holland, if you like it, you are welcome to sleep with me at any time."

After that, she turned and left.

Only Coralie was aware of what she was running away from. She was afraid that if she got too close to Skylar, she couldn't figure out the situation and she would lose her bearings.

The deeper she fell into the trap, the more in pain she would be.

After thinking for a while, Coralie finally decided to take a bath in the master bedroom.

The bathroom was huge, and there was a fan-shaped massage bathtub in it. However, in order to save time, Coralie took a shower next to it instead.

She washed every inch of her skin clean, as if she was ready to sleep with Skylar.

Coralie took a shower, blew her hair half-dry, picked up a small bathrobe prepared for her from the hanger next to her, and put it on before she went back to the bedroom. Skylar still didn't come back from the study.

"I think I will be lonely all the time... I've been so lonely all my life..."

The phone rang. She glanced at the name on it. It was Howard Schultz. Coralie disconnected the call without thinking.

Soon, the phone rang again.

After five or six calls, Coralie had no choice but to pick up the phone.

"Coralie! Aren't you ashamed? If you can't afford the clothes, why did you let Alison buy them. You're happy to spend more than 100,000 dollars on this, aren't you?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Howard finally vented his anger, as if he had accumulated his resentment for a long time.

Coralie was puzzled at first, but then she remembered what had happened a few weeks ago when she bought clothes for Grandmother Holland's banquet to celebrate her discharge from the hospital. "She wanted to buy those clothes herself. It was none of my business!"

Out of the blue!

At this time, Alison Herman's voice came from the other side of the phone. She seemed to be crying. She spoke while sobbing, "Sister Corrie, how can you say that to me? When I tried the clothes that day, you said that they were very suitable for me and you strongly recommended me to buy them. I said that they were too expensive, but you said that they weren't. You said that this would prove that Howard loved me, so I bought them."

Hearing this, Coralie was almost scared out of her wits.

What kind of logic was this.

"Alison, you should not have pretended that you could afford those clothes when you couldn't. Just say that you did't want to buy them. You insisted on buying them at that time. I didn't say anything." Coralie also understood this. Although Howard was rich, he certainly couldn't accept it, when she spent more than 100,000 dollars to buy clothes. As expected, this was true.

"Coralie, I didn't expect you to be such a person. We are divorced. You did't want me to have a good relationship with Alison, so you incited her to buy those clothes. Alison is too naive, and you tricked her!" "Yes, dear husband, she asked me to buy them. I thought they were expensive at that time, so I didn't want to buy them."

"Coralie, tell me who you married and whether he was rich or not. Was it because your husband would not buy these clothes for you, so you persuaded Alison to buy them? You were deliberately causing trouble for me!"

Coralie was speechless, hearing both of them speak.

"You can think whatever you like."

After saying that, she hung up the phone angrily and put Howard's phone number into the list of blocked numbers.

She wondered how blind she was in college to think that her ex-husband and ex-best friend were good people.

At this time, Skylar opened the door and came in. When he was in the corridor, he heard that Coralie was making a phone call. When he came in and saw her angry look, he couldn't help asking, "Who called?"

"Howard."

Coralie didn't want to avoid anything. She felt that although she had a marriage certificate with Skylar, their relationship was similar to the relationship between an employer and an employee. She didn't intend to hide anything.

However, when Skylar heard this name, his indifferent expression became dark all of a sudden, emitting a dangerous air around him, "You're still in contact with him?"

"No."

Without saying another word, Skylar rushed over and pressed Coralie down. With an angry expression, he said, "Why not you have sex with me, and then you can call your ex-husband and tell him who was better?"

Howard was Skylar's weakness.

He would be upset whenever he heard his name.

This time, Coralie was no longer pretentious. She laid flat, took the initiative to loosen her bathrobe, and hooked one hand around his neck. She said, "Come on, let's do it then. After that, I will tell him that you are much better than him."

She said this without any expression on her face.

However, in her heart, she was nervous and shy. Coralie was not good at speaking on this subject, and she didn't want Skylar to say that she was pretending.

She had no choice but to put on a look that she thought a young woman should have.

However, no matter what Skylar did, Coralie kept biting her lips tightly. She looked calm on the surface and even seemed to be at his mercy.

This caused Skylar, who was just aroused by her softness, to quickly cool down. He said coldly, "Is this the way you are welcoming me?"

"How would you like me to act, President Holland? I can learn from the internet."

Coralie had said before that she was not good at this.

"Your ex-husband really didn't teach you well." After saying that, he got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom in rage.

Seeing him enter the bathroom, Coralie sat up on the bed and straightened her clothes. She felt confused.

Once again, Skylar had stopped abruptly when she thought that something was going to happen.
