Chapter 74
Chapter 74
After returning home, Skylar saw Coralie sitting on the sofa. He leaned over quite naturally and asked,
"Has your friend left?"
"Yes." Coralie was worried about Andrew's words in the morning. "However, I regret bringing Josephine
here."
"What's wrong?"
Coralie briefly told Skylar what had happened in the morning, and then she said, "Why don't I move
somewhere else? Otherwise, I don't know what Howard and Andrew will do."
"They have nothing to do with you moving out."
After what happened last night, Skylar felt that it was good to have Coralie by his side.
"I just don't want to cause any trouble for you. Everyone in this community knows who is living here. If
they come to make trouble, then..."
Coralie hugged her legs and sat on the sofa, looking a little aggrieved.
"If you move out, that would trouble me."
Skylar lifted Coralie's hair and smelled it. It smelled good, with a faint scent of shampoo.
At this time, Helena had just finished preparing a dish. When she came out and saw this loving scene
between the couple, Helena was a little annoyed. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She thought that Coralie was such an ordinary girl. How could she be a match for Skylar?
"Why?"
Coralie asked.
"Granny is still living in the community. I'll take you to see her after dinner."
Skylar's words caused Coralie to give up on the idea of moving out.
......
After dinner, Skylar took Coralie to a secluded villa at the corner of the community. The lights in the villa
were on.
"Granny."
Skylar knocked on the door, and soon, there were servants coming to open the door.
The two of them were invited in.
As soon as Coralie entered the living room, she saw Grandmother Holland and Valerie sitting in the
living room.
"You're here, too."
When Skylar saw Valerie, he seemed to be a little surprised, but he did not seem to be very happy.
Seeing Skylar and Coralie, Valerie stood up and said with a smile, "Skylar, I've brought some gifts for
Granny. I'll go abroad in a few days."
Coralie lowered her head and saw that they were all health supplements. Judging from the packaging,
they should be very expensive.
"Valerie brought me many gifts every time she comes back," Grandmother Holland said with a smile,
but she stretched out her hand to Coralie and said, "Is Coralie here?"
After Coralie came in, she didn't speak yet. Grandmother Holland saw her coming in like a blurry
shadow and called her to her side.
"Granny, I came here with Skylar,"
Coralie walked over and said. She placed herself in a half-kneeling position beside Grandmother
Holland.
Valerie stood aside. She saw that her efforts of bringing gifts and giving compliments were
overshadowed by Coralie's mere arrival. Valerie was rather displeased, but she did not show this.
Instead, she took another bag and said, "Skylar, this is your birthday present. You left the party before
the gift exchange that night."
As she spoke, she took out a small bag.
Coralie did not recognize the logo on the bag, but she could see that there was a watch in it.
"Thank you."
Skylar took the bag, but he didn't mean to open it. He recognized this brand. It was Van Cleef and
Arpels, a famous luxury brand.
Since they came here after their meal, Skylar was not wearing a watch. Valerie quietly took the watch
out from the bag and helped Skylar to put it on. She said with a smile, "Skylar, I know that this watch is
not as expensive as your high-end watches, but it's a gift from me. You have to wear it all the time."
Gifting a man's watch was actually a display of affection, indicating the hope of wanting to be together
constantly, for a lifetime.
Although Coralie did not know the brand of this watch, she understood the meaning of the gift.
When she saw that Skylar didn't object when Valerie was putting on the watch, she also understood
what this meant.
However, she didn't say anything.
Valerie helped Skylar put on the watch and said with a smile, "Skylar, although I am abroad and not by
your side, I will miss you all the time."
"You should focus on your studies."
Skylar rejected Valerie discreetly. He took off the watch and put it back into the box. It seemed that he
was rejecting her silently.
Hearing these words, Grandmother Holland said, "Valerie, you are not young. It's time for you to get a
boyfriend."
She knew too well what Valerie was thinking. Although Skylar and Coralie were together, they didn't
have an official engagement. They didn't even have a wedding ceremony, which revealed Coralie's
status in the Holland family.
There was still hope in Valerie's heart.
"Grandma, I have been with Skylar for so long, and my standards are so high now. How can it be so
easy to find a boyfriend? If only Skylar had a twin brother."
Valerie walked behind Grandmother Holland and massaged her shoulders while speaking coquettishly.
Valerie was good at these things. She did everything in a very pleasing manner and she won people
over.
Unlike Coralie, who would just stand still in a daze when Grandmother Holland called her over.
"It's a pity that he doesn't have a twin brother. Now, he is married. Even if you have a little affection for
him in the past, you have to let it go. After all, he is now Coralie's husband." Grandmother Holland was
frank and she pointed out the facts at once. Then, she reminded Coralie, "Coralie, Skye is your
husband. If you don't look after him, you can't blame anyone else if he runs away."
She felt that Coralie was a very strong-willed girl, but she was particularly humble in front of Skylar. She
even lowered her position when she was around him.
"Yes, Granny. Skylar told me that he is the most faithful person ever. If he likes someone, he will never
change his love for the rest of his life."
Coralie said to Grandmother Holland. When she was talking, she did not forget to look up at Skylar, but
she was a little embarrassed. She was afraid that he would blame her for telling Granny his words from
the past.
Skylar had said those words to Coralie when they were in college.
She had always kept them in her heart.
"Men's vows are just casual. When they meet a better girl, they can change suddenly." Valerie
pretended to look like she said something wrong. She quickly added, "Oops, of course, I'm not saying
that Miss Chariott is not excellent enough. Miss Chariott has a good figure and she's beautiful, which is
her biggest advantage."
"Well, it's getting late. Granny needs to rest. Let's go back first."
Skylar was afraid that Coralie would be embarrassed, so he proposed this.
However, after they left, Valerie also put on her coat and came out. She followed behind Skylar and
Coralie and said with a smile, "Skylar, sorry for my boring gift. Miss Chariott, what did you give Skylar
for his birthday? It must be something special, right?"
Hearing this, Coralie's heart skipped a beat. She didn't prepare a gift, and she didn't have the chance
to buy one after his birthday. She had to say awkwardly, "I will make it up to him later."
"Make it up to him later? You didn't buy anything?" Valerie really didn't expect this, but she changed the
topic and said, "Well, Miss Chariott, you must be too busy. Skylar should not mind."
