You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 122

When Valerie heard this, the expression on her face looked better. To be honest, although she knew

that Skylar married Coralie to bring forth the good luck to Grandmother Holland, she did not expect

there to be an agreement between them.

And the duration for that agreement was only a year.

However, Valerie was not silly. Judging by the way Skylar treated Coralie, she knew that the position of

Coralie in his heart wasn't as simple as a contractual wife. He was genuine in his affection.

After knowing that Coralie was pregnant, the pregnancy meal was introduced in the company the

immediate next day. Such caring treatment was not something that would exist between a fake couple.

Moreover, if Skylar had no feelings for Coralie, even if they had s*x, he would not allow Coralie to get

pregnant.

"Auntie, I think that even if their contract expires, it's impossible for them to get a divorce."

Valerie knew that with her own strength, it was implausible for Coralie and Skylar to divorce each other.

Valerie needed more help to execute her plans.

Now, the most favorable external source of help would be Lillian. Lillian had never disguised the fact

that she liked Valerie and despised Coralie.

Lillian looked at Valerie.

Looking at Lillian's ignorant face, Valerie pretended to be surprised and asked, "Don't you know?

Hasn't Skye told you?"

Lillian was confused by her words and probed, "What's the matter?"

As far as she could imagine, there wasn't any reason why they wouldn't get divorced when the contract

expired.

Valerie looked at Lillian as if she was caught in a dilemma and whispered, "I'll tell you, but promise me

that you will pretend to be unaware of anything until Skye told you about it. Otherwise, he'd be angry

with me."

Lillian didn't know what Valerie meant, so she could only nod endlessly.

"I found out that Miss Chariott is pregnant, and Skye treated her really well. When he found out, he

immediately introduced a pregnancy meal for the pregnant employees in the company!"

"How could this be..."

Lillian's expression froze for a second, but when Valerie glanced from the corner of her eyes, she saw

that Lillian's expression was not angry at all, but quite happy instead. This was completely beyond her

expectations!

Valerie thought that if she disclosed this to Lillian, Lillian would definitely throw a fit and get furious.

Unexpectedly, Lillian was not angry at all. On the contrary, there was a hint of expectant joy on her face

that she was going to be a grandmother.

However, Valerie did not reveal any of her emotions. She smiled and went along with Lillian's thoughts,

"In fact, I am very happy for Skye. After all, it was me who failed to cherish him in the past. Now that he

has found his own happiness, and will soon be a father, we should share his happiness too."

When Valerie was in high school, she had s*x with a punk outside the school, and she even fell

pregnant. It was also one of the key events that caused Skylar to gradually drift away from her.

Due to Valerie's one-sided stubbornness, she still didn't want to give him up.

When Lillian heard about Valerie's words, she was also anxious. She said straightforwardly, "Although I

really want to be a Grandma and to hold my grandchild in my arms, if the child is not yours, Valerie, I

can't feel genuine happiness from it."

After all, if Coralie gave birth to Skylar's children, Valerie might cut all ties with the Holland family in the

future. Then, Lillian's privilege of receiving gifts from Valerie would also be severed.

Coralie certainly would not spend as lavishly on Lillian like how Valerie did.

However, Valerie was not angry. She grabbed Lillian's hand and said, "Auntie, as long as the

grandchild is Skye's child, isn't that enough? Even though I wish to bear his child, now that things have

become water under the bridge, I can only give them my blessing."

Lillian did not expect Valerie to be so sensible.

"Good girl."

Lillian patted Valerie's hand, feeling a little relieved.

......

The next day, when Skylar went home with Coralie, they realized that Lillian's car was parked at the

door.

The same thought popped into their minds at the same time. Lillian must have gotten wind about

Coralie's pregnancy.

Originally, Coralie thought that as soon she entered the house, there would be 80% chance that she

was going to be accused and scolded.

However...

When Coralie entered the house with Skylar as a shield in front of her, the first thing she saw was the

mountain of supplements and nutritious food on the dining table.

"This is..."

Skylar looked at the the things on the dining table and was a little puzzled.

Lillian sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Looking at Coralie with her flat belly, she pursed her lip

and said, "Why is her stomach so flat? Is she really pregnant? It can't be a lie, can it?"

Although Valerie asked Lillian to pretend to not know anything about it, with Lillian's character, there

was no way she could endure it passively.

"She's pregnant. It was I who brought her for a check-up with Harvey."

Skylar explained.

He couldn't figure out what Lillian was thinking. What was the meaning of the supplements?

In fact, Skylar had the same thought as Coralie did. He thought that Lillian would make a big fuss if she

knew about Coralie's pregnancy, so he didn't intend to tell her at all.

But now she actually found out herself.

"Oh." Lillian sat up from the sofa, patted the pile of supplements on the table, and said to Coralie,

"Don't be mistaken. I bought them for my grandson. You're just tasting them on his behalf!"

Although Lillian didn't like Coralie, she was generous in her affection for her grandchild.

The main reason was that Lillian had too much time on her hand. If she had a grandchild to play with,

she would feel better.

Coralie stood there as still as a mannequin. Only after a while that the realization sunk in. She quickly

thanked her, "I see, thank you, I will eat them on your grandchild's behalf."

Although Lillian took the long way of expressing herself, Coralie knew that Lillian has accepted the fact

that she was pregnant.

It calmed Coralie's heart by a whole lot.

Skylar also understood and quickly added, "Mom, don't worry. I won't be frugal with my own child."

Although Lillian was hoping for a grandson, it didn't matter that much to Skylar about the baby's gender.

As long as it was a child that belonged to him and Coralie, that was enough.

Lillian looked at Coralie's belly and reminded, "You have to take good care of yourself especially in the

first three months. Don't lose the baby. Maybe you shouldn't go to work. You should just take care of

yourself at home."

Coralie's past experience with Howard had taught her a painful lesson, and what she feared most was

to lose the only means to her financial independence.

Even though Skylar was very kind to her and now that she was even pregnant, but for some reason,

Coralie had always felt insecure in their relationship.

Skylar knew that Coralie had no intention of becoming a full time housewife, so he explained to Lillian,

"Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of her."

......

After Skylar and Coralie expressed and stressed on their opinions, Lillian went back with peace of

mind.

After sending her away, Coralie caressed her belly and looked at Skylar. She then asked, "Skylar, do

you prefer a son or a daughter?"

Originally, Coralie hadn't thought about it. However, Lillian kept dropping the word "grandson", and that

piqued Coralie's curiosity about the baby's gender.
