"What is it?"
Skylar Holland reached out to open the box.
"I know that you're not short of anything, but I bought it because it's nice. I don't know if you would like
it or not, but now that I have already bought it, I suppose that it wouldn't matter anymore."
When Skylar was unwrapping the gift, Coralie was much more nervous than he was. She lowered her
head and murmured.
It seemed that she was trying to convince herself instead of saying those words to Skylar.
Her sense of inferiority caused her to worry that her gift would be disliked.
Skylar looked at the pair of cufflinks. The design was simple, which suited him. Then, he turned around
and held Coralie's face. He kissed her gently and said, "I like it very much. Thank you."
Coralie Chariott breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I have something to tell you. However, after discussing with Xenia, I'm a little disheartened
about it."
Coralie blushed from the kiss, but she decided to tell him the important thing first.
After all, it would not be appropriate to talk about it if the night were to turn a little intimate after.
"Well, go ahead then."
Skylar started the car and drove towards Golden Town.
"Actually, your father came to me and said that he wanted to transfer me to B City..."
"Reject his offer."
Before Coralie could even finish her words, Skylar had interrupted her.
"Listen to me first," Coralie explained, "Skylar, I don't want you to work alone in our relationship. Your
father said that if I would be able to compete with Valerie if I could become a CFO in a few years... But I
asked Xenia earlier and she said that it's impossible for anyone to become a CFO in such a short time."
After listening to Coralie's words, Skylar knew what his father's intentions were.
He drove the car with a solemn expression, "Of course he knows the time that it would take for an
accountant to become a CFO. He just wants to keep us apart. After all, he has always believed that
love would fade away with time."
"Would love fade away with time?"
Coralie lowered her head and held her mobile phone in her hand.
In fact, she agreed with the statement. In the years that she and Skylar were separated, they had
become strangers inadvertently. Skylar had then become a figure that was engraved in Coralie's
memory.
She tried to cast everything aside, thinking that it would be buried away.
"No," Skylar replied with certainty, "I thought that it would, but when I saw you at the gate of the Civil
Affairs Bureau last year, I knew that I was just lying to myself."
Coralie did not speak. Skylar continued, "I have been separated from you for five years. How much
longer do you want me to be apart from you?"
"I don't want to..." Coralie shook her head, "I don't want to be separated from you, but I don't know what
I should do to deserve the title of Mrs. Holland..."
"You deserve it as long as I approve of you. Mrs. Holland's position will always belong to you. I'm going
to a party in a few days. Come with me."
"Okay..."
Coralie always listened to Skylar.
She had initially planned to go to B City to start over again and to finally return as a successful person.
However, after speaking with Skylar, she realized that she wanted to stay with him more.
......
When the car arrived at the gate of the house,
Coralie stood in front of the door and looked at the fingerprint door lock. After thinking for a while, she
said, "My fingerprints have been erased."
"Erased?"
Skylar was stunned. He had seen Coralie using the access card before and thought that she was not
used to the fingerprint door lock.
"Well, it's about this time last year."
"About this time last year?"
Skylar frowned. If he wasn't mistaken, it was when Valerie returned to the country. Coralie didn't come
back that day. After thinking for a while, he grabbed Coralie's hand and asked, "Did you come back that
night?"
"That night?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Coralie frowned. She was not sure if Skylar was referring to the same day that she had in her mind.
"That night, I thought I heard the sound of the door after calling you..."
Skylar said while he set the fingerprints on the door lock for Coralie.
"Well, I was here, but I realized that the door lock had been changed, and I thought..."
"Don't assume anything."
After setting up the fingerprints for her, Skylar opened the door and carried her in.
The house was still the same as it used to be. Skylar held the woman in his arms and bit her lips gently
as he made his way upstairs.
"Your wound hasn't healed yet. I could go upstairs by myself."
Coralie turned her face aside and spoke. She was concerned about Skylar's wound. He was badly
injured, so he shouldn't exert himself.
"You are so light. What are you afraid of?"
Regardless of her protest, Skylar carried her in his arms and made his way upstairs step by step.
She could only curl up obediently in Skylar's arms as she didn't want to add the burden for him. She
allowed him to hug and kiss her.
He put her on the bed. It was winter, and they hadn't taken off their coat yet when they got home. Thus,
it took them some time to take off their clothes.
The coats were thrown to the ground.
A piece of gauze was still plastered on Skylar's waist. He ignored it and leaned over to bite the
woman's plump lips. Coralie looked away and pretended to be angry. She then asked, "You and Valerie
slept in this room before. Where did you sleep?"
Skylar pointed to the sofa next to him, "I slept there. Don't worry, I've thrown away the sheets where
she had slept on."
Coralie felt relieved.
Seeing that he had put so much effort into their relationship, she couldn't bring herself to ask more from
Skylar.
Coralie took the initiative to put her arms around the man's neck. She kissed him passionately and
returned his affection.
Skylar kissed her after a long time of separation. It was a long series of unending kisses, and amid the
kiss, he added a more fascinating confession, "I love you, only you."
"I love you too."
Coralie hooked the man's waist with her legs and her hips cradled him...
It was a long passionate night.
......
The next morning.
Perhaps absence really made the heart grow fonder, Skylar and Coralie didn't stop until it was late at
night.
Coralie was still sleepy, but when she hugged Skylar next to her, she realized that the dry bandage had
become wet...
She opened her eyes and saw that the man's bandage had been completely stained with blood!
Coralie was stupefied, "Skylar!"
The man's face and thin lips were slightly pale. When he saw that Coralie was awake, he said, "Don't
worry. I have already called Harvey. Put on your clothes."
Coralie was angry and distressed, "Did you, did you already know that your wound was torn open?"
As soon as she put on her clothes, she heard the sound of an ambulance coming from below. Not long
after, Harvey Felton and two doctors entered the bedroom.
