You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 65

As Coralie Chariott was wearing a white scarf earlier, others could not see how beautiful she was. Once this scarf was taken off, the beautiful Galaxy dress was revealed. With her makeup and hairstyle, she looked perfect.

It could be argued that the dress suited Coralie better than Valerie Rae, because Coralie had a better figure and curves, which the dress showed off perfectly.

Skylar Holland stared at Coralie in surprise.

He had always known that Coralie was very beautiful. He had been attracted to her many times in college.

But today, he lost his focus unconsciously.

Franklin Moore also found Coralie attractive in the Galaxy dress. He stared at her for quite some time and did not look away.

Coralie looked at the two men gazing at her and immediately felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to grab the scarf, but Franklin raised his hand. "It's so hot inside. Are you going to wear this scarf all the time?" Valerie stood there, looking at Skylar, who was surprised. She could not conceal her jealousy.

When she came in just now wearing the same dress, Skylar had just paused for a moment and didn't say much.

However, Valerie kept quiet. She put on the posture of a hostess and said, "Franklin, your companion looks tired. Why don't you bring her to sit down somewhere?"

Coralie was embarrassed. She didn't want to go with Franklin, but it was obvious that Valerie was beside Skylar, and there was no place for her.

"Beauty, let's go over there."

Franklin made a gesture of invitation gracefully.

However, as soon as Coralie stepped forward, her arm was held by Skylar. With some force, he pulled her close to him and spoke in a dissatisfied manner, "Mrs. Holland, are you going to sit next to another man to celebrate your husband's birthday?"

Franklin understood the situation in his heart, but he still asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"I meant literally everything I said."

After Skylar said that, he held Coralie and ignored Valerie. Then, he walked to his seat.

Coralie looked at Valerie who was standing back and was somewhat unhappy. "President Holland, do you like having more than one woman by your side?"

"Valerie and I are just childhood playmates,"

Skylar explained to her. He thought that Coralie had left for a month because she was concerned about Valerie.

"Should I feel happy, that you bought the same dress as your childhood playmate for me?"

"Are you annoyed with this? She bought the dress herself."

The two of them walked to the front of their seats. Skylar stood still and stared into Coralie's bright eyes. His eyes seemed to be probing her, but he still made this explanation. "President Holland, you've mistaken. I have no right to question this."

However, she was secretly annoyed. She understood that there could only be one person standing next to him in the end, even if Skylar gave them the same dress today. How could she be that person? "You keep calling me President Holland. Are you planning to refer to me in this manner tonight? As my wife, are you going to call me President Holland all the time?"

The title of President Holland was too formal, and he felt that it was even more harsh than Coralie calling him by his full name!

At this moment, Lillian Ford brought Valerie over. She pointed to the seat on Skylar's side and said, "Valerie, sit here. This seat is originally set aside for you. As for those people from the humble families, just ignore them."

The meaning of Lillian's words was too obvious.

Among the Holland family members, only Lillian showed her dislike toward Coralie and her fondness for Valerie publicly.

"Auntie Ford, this is Skylar's seat. If I take the seat next to them, I'm afraid that Skylar's wife might misinterpret this situation."

Although Valerie stood there, she didn't sit down. She seemed to be waiting for Skylar's response.

However, Lillian spoke first, "Son, let Valerie sit here. She returned from abroad just to celebrate your birthday. Don't tell me you won't let her take a seat, will you? Valerie is so thoughtful. She bought this dress for me."

Coralie looked up at Lillian's dress, which didn't match her age.

The dress was very gorgeous, but it was more suitable for young people. In general, it was not very suitable for her.

"Sit down."

Although Skylar said so, he had been holding Coralie's hand, and he had no intention of letting her go.

However, after the three of them sat down, the image was quite interesting.

Two women in the same dress sat next to Skylar, like two women serving one husband.

Coralie felt very awkward.

The people who came back and forth to wish Skylar happy birthday would all stand on Skylar's left side, and Valerie was sitting on his left side.

Visually, it seemed that Coralie was redundant.

Everyone here thought that Valerie and Skylar were a couple.

After a while, Lillian came to call Skylar to give a toast to Grandmother Holland. Just as Skylar got up and left, Valerie leaned over and said with a smile, "Skylar also gave you this dress. He is so kind to you. This dress is very hard to get."

Valerie deliberately used the word "also".

This made Coralie a little anxious, but she did not speak. Her sixth sense told her that Valerie was not someone who would waste her own time, even though she looked like a nice person.

Although Coralie did not pay any attention to her, Valerie was not angry. She continued to say, "My dress was also given by Skylar. I was wondering why he gave me such a dress. It turned out that he was afraid that I would get jealous if I saw you wearing it."

With every word she said, she showed off her good relationship with Skylar.

Coralie also wondered if Valerie was lying, but how could it be so coincidental?

It was a coincidence that the both of them wore the same dress to attend this birthday celebration.

If Skylar was willing to lie to her, did it mean that he was still nervous about her?

"Is that so?"

Coralie looked at Valerie. She was a little different from her photo, but she was still beautiful. Her facial features were symmetrical, and she was seductive. She looked like a goddess.

"Yes, but I heard that you were forced to marry Skylar to bring good luck to the family, due to Grandmother Holland's poor health. Thank you."

While speaking, Valerie stretched out her hand to hold Coralie, and she seemed sincerely grateful.

Her expression seemed to say, "Thank you for taking care of my man for a while."

"What were you two talking about?"

After toasting, Skylar came back.

Valerie smiled quite naturally and said, "We were discussing who would look better in the dress you gave us both, but I think it's your wife who looks better in it."

Seeing Valerie talk about this dress as a gift, Coralie was certain that Skylar lied to her just now.
