You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 73

When they arrived at the door, Josephine was holding her son in her arms. Andrew's hands were

empty, and he didn't seem apologetic at all. It seemed as if he didn't think it was a big deal that he had

hit Josephine last night.

"Did you meet Coralie's husband yesterday?"

Andrew asked as he walked, hands in his pockets.

"Yes."

Josephine was carrying the baby. She only wore pajamas and a jacket brought by Andrew. Her legs

were cold because of the wind.

"How is he? He must be an old man. Although she is very good-looking, she is a secondhand woman

after all. How can there be a man who accepts her in this manner?"

"No, her husband came to pick me up last night. He is very young and handsome."

Back when Josephine was in school, her eyes were fixed on Andrew every day. She did not pay too

much attention to other men, and she did not know Skylar.

"Very handsome? Impossible!" Andrew didn't believe it. "Could it be that rich people are not smart?

With so much money, why doesn't he find a young and beautiful virgin? Why would he find a second-

hand product?"

"Perhaps he doesn't think like this."

"Of course, he would. I know some famous streamers. They earn tens of thousands of dollars a Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

month.They change women every day. Each of them is more beautiful than the previous one."

Seeing that he was so excited about this, Josephine also felt uncomfortable. She looked at Andrew, the

man who had been with her for so many years, and she could not help asking, "Then, if you have

money, will you..."

When she asked him this, Andrew immediately became quiet. After a while, he turned around, patted

her on the shoulders and said, "Look, we have a child. What else can I think about?"

Andrew knew that he was only paid a few hundred dollars a month. Now, he was relying on

Josephine's money to support the family. He couldn't afford to offend her now.

"Well, I saw Coralie talking to her husband quite politely yesterday."

Josephine let down her guard and said this to Andrew casually.

Andrew was intrigued by this statement. "I knew it, how could a person like her marry a rich man? She

is really a mistress, right? Haha, I want to find the wife of the man and threaten Coralie to lend money

to us."

Josephine was frightened and she regretted what she said just now. "Don't do this. Coralie can't be

such a person. It was Howard who betrayed her first. If you do this, I won't give you any pocket

money!"

"Okay, okay, okay. Don't be angry. I won't borrow money from her, okay?" When Andrew heard that she

wouldn't give him any money, he was so scared that he apologized in a hurry.

On the second floor of the villa, Coralie stood at the window of the bedroom. She watched Josephine,

who was beaten up yesterday, walk away. Josephine was wearing thin clothes and carrying the baby.

Andrew just walked forward empty-handed. She let out a long sigh.

There was a saying that a woman's marriage was her second life. In a sense, this was true.

It was really a pity that Josephine, who used to be so beautiful, turned out to have such a pathetic

married life.

......

In the afternoon, the part-time servant who worked at Skylar's house arrived. This was the first time

Coralie had seen her. She was very surprised that this woman was only in her late twenties. She

seemed to be just a few years older than Coralie.

Skylar mentioned before that her name was Helena Wilson.

When she came in and noticed Coralie, she said in a respectful manner, "Hello, Madam."

"Hello, you don't have to call me Madam. My name is Coralie."

Coralie didn't think that she was the hostess of this house, and she also thought that she couldn't bear

this title.

As it was inconvenient for Coralie to walk around, she was afraid of causing trouble for Helena.

Therefore, Coralie sat on the sofa without moving.

"Oh."

Helena looked at Coralie and she noticed that she was wearing a set of ordinary two-piece pajamas

made of cotton. Her hair was loose and she had no makeup. She didn't look like a stunning and

charming beauty.

Moreover, before this, Skylar lived alone in this house. In the blink of an eye, there was already a

hostess, and she seemed to be only a little better than Helena. Helena was somewhat unconvinced.

However, she didn't express this out loud. She went on to complete the chores. In less than three

hours, she cleaned up the whole house. Even the sheets were replaced. Then, she went downstairs.

"Thank you for the hard work."

Coralie said politely when she saw Helena coming down.

"I've gotten used to it every week," Helena answered casually and went to the kitchen to pour herself a

glass of water to drink.

She came out with the water and looked at Coralie who was still sitting on the sofa, watching TV.

Coralie seemed pampered and comfortable. Helena suddenly said, "I really envy you for having such a

nice life. After marrying Mr. Holland, you don't even have to work. You can just watch TV at home every

day."

Coralie didn't expect Helena to say this, but she obviously felt the hostility from her. "I have a job. I

injured my leg. I'm just resting for a few days at home."

"I'm sure you work just for fun,not for money,right?"

Coralie wasn't sure if Helena's tone of voice was jealousy or admiration.

Helena remembered that when she came here in the past, she would occasionally bump into Skylar.

Skylar was very polite to her, and she could not help imagining herself as Mrs. Holland.

However, Coralie's presence obviously shattered Helena's dreams.

"At least I'm willing to go to work."

Coralie looked at her and understood that no matter what she said now, Helena would think that she

was after Skylar's money and was lazy to work.

Although it was true that Skylar and Coralie were together because of her family's need for money, she

did not dare to be lazy and do nothing.

After all, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future since she still had such a long journey

in life.

"Well, you're different from me, Madam."

Helena put down the cup. Although she addressed Coralie respectfully, her tone was unpleasant.

Coralie thought that Helena would leave soon, so she took her cell phone to check information on

accounting examinations. When she was in college, she majored in accounting, but she only had a

basic accounting certification. Given her age and lack of qualifications, many companies would not

accept her. If she wanted a better life in the future, it would be best for her to get an additional

professional certificate.

She could at least start with being an assistant for an accounting executive.

Seeing that Coralie was ignoring her, Helena drank some water and changed her shoes. She was

ready to leave.

At this moment, Skylar pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Holland!"

Helena's eyes lit up when she saw Skylar.

"Oh, you're leaving?"

Skylar's attitude toward Helena had always been good, mainly because she worked quickly and took

good care of the house.

"Yes, Mr. Holland, you're back. If you don't mind, I'll make dinner for you today."

In the past, when Helena bumped into Skylar occasionally when he came home early, she would make

dinner for him.

"Sure, my wife sprained her ankle today."

Skylar thought that it would be inconvenient for Coralie to cook since she was injured. That was why he

accepted Helena's offer.

Hearing Skylar's words, Helena felt a little uncomfortable deep down, but she quickly changed her

shoes and said, "Leave it to me. You and Mrs. Holland can get some rest."
