Chapter 26
As the son of the Hond family, it waspulsory for him to learn defensive martial arts since he was
a child.
Naturally, it was not a problem for Skr to fight against one or two men.
He gave them a beating, but he was also slightly injured.
"You''d better beware!" the drunkard warned.
"Wait! Brat!" the other drunkard threatened.
The two drunk men were beaten up so badly that they had sobered up.
Skr rubbed the corners of his eyes. Seeing the drunk men flee, he recalled Coralie''s phone call that
night.
He felt annoyed and impatient.
He turned around and went back to Coralie''s house.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At this time, Coralie had just taken a shower. She changed into her pajamas and was ready to go to
bed.
When she heard someone knocking on the door, she asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
She wondered who woulde to see her in the middle of the night.
"It''s me."
It was Skr''s voice.
Coralie shouted, "Wait, wait a minute!"
She ran all the way back to the bedroom, took off her nightdress and changed it into a casual dress. Of
course, she made sure to put on all her undergarments properly.
After carefully confirming that she did not look seductive at all, she opened the door.
"What took you so long?" asked Skr.
Skr stood at the door and looked at Coralie who was so well-dressed . He knew that she was
changing her attire just now.
"Did you forget something?" Coralie asked. When she looked up, she saw a bruise on his forehead.
She nervously pulled him in. "What''s wrong? Did you fall and hit something?"
She would never have imagined that Skr had a fight with two drunk men outside just now.
It was also because of her.
"Yourmunity is so run-down. How do you live here?" Skr did not answer her question, but
questioned her instead.
"Well, I''m nning to move out after a while." Coralie said.
After the previous incident, Coralie was nning to move out once she gotten her sry. After all, she
would need to pay not only the rental but also a deposit for a new home. It would be arge amount of
money for her to cough up.
"Didn''t you say that there was a drunk man who attacked youst time? And you still live here?" he
asked.
Skr was impatient.
Coralie looked at him in surprise. Last time, he did not believe her. "What has happened? Did he really
fall on his head and suddenly figured it out?" she thought.
"Are you actually concerned about me?" Coralie asked.
Although he was not looking at her, Coralie still felt that he genuinely cared about her.
At least it seemed so.
She could not help but feel warm deep down.
"I married you to bring my grandmother good luck. It would be bad if you died midway our ''journey''," he
exined.
Coralie listened to his exnation. She was not sure if his exnation made sense or not.
"But even if I leave now, I have no ce to go to," she said.
"You can stay at my ce," Skr asserted.
He replied her question immediately, as if he had been waiting for Coralie to ask this from the
beginning.
"No, I''ll rent a ce tomorrow. I don''t think it''s a big deal to spend another night here today."
Their rtionship was just a contract.
It was a lie, to put it bluntly.
Coralie did not want to lose herself, just for a one-year-long rtionship. She had realized now that
Skr was very charming. The longer she got along with him, the easier it was for her to fall deeper
into his charms.
"It''s better to keep a distance, or I''ll be the one to suffer in the future." she thought.
"I''ll give you five minutes to pack up whatever you have to bring with you. Leave the unnecessary
things behind." he said.
Skr did not respond to her refusal, but directly gave an ultimatum.
"No, it is fine to stay for one more night." Coralie insisted.
"There are still four minutes left." he dered.
Coralie wanted to debate against him, but he kept counting down the time she had without mercy. She
had no choice but to pack up her belongings.
She was frowning while packing up her belongings.
Five minutes was too short. She could only take some basic clothing with her, thinking abouting
back to get the other thingster on.
Skr''s Maybach drove towards the upscale residentialmunities of A City.
Golden Town was the most luxuriousmunity in A City. It was located by a tranquilke. The
scenery was beautiful, and themunity''s space was huge. Each house had its own small courtyard.
In the past, Coralie thought that thismunity was an entirely different world from hers.
But now she was sitting in a car and had already entered themunity.
The car stopped at the gates to a vi. Skr and Coralie got off the car.
The vis in thismunity were all equipped with electronic locks, which could be essed with
fingerprints.
When Skr opened the door, he handed Coralie a card. "Use this card to open the door in the future."
"You don''t have to... I''ll just stay for a night." Coralie said.
She did not intend to stay for long.
"Just take it if I give it to you." Coralie''s repeated refusal finally touched triggered Skr''s anger. He
held her wrist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. "No matter what you think, you are

now my wife. You must ept what I give you."
His eyes were full of anger. Coralie felt ufortable of his stare.
"Okay." she uttered.
She could only obey him obediently. Thinking about it carefully, it might be that all men had a sense of
pride. If she repeatedly refused him, it might hurt his self-esteem.
Skr lived alone, and servants came to clean up regrly.
The banquet was held at 4 o''clock in the evening. It was almost 12 o''clock at night now, and the meal
they had at the banquet had already been fully digested.
"Can I use your kitchen for a while?" Coralie asked.
Out of respect, Coralie seeked for Skr''s consent before she went to the kitchen.
"You are my wife now, my house is your house."
Skr said as he pushed the door open and went back to his room.
Coralie entered the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator, her heart ached slightly. The whole
refrigerator was clean, but it was empty, with only a few packs of instant meals.
Those were cup noodles, in fact.
It seemed that Skr often abused his stomach with such unhealthy instant food.
It was absolutely difficult to cook a hearty meal without the necessary ingredients. Coralie let out a long
sigh and wanted to go to the bedroom to ask if there was any other food at home.
When she pushed open the bedroom door, she saw Skr taking off his clothes. He had taken his
white shirt off, and it was lying on the ground. His hands were ced in front of his waist, unbuckling
his belt.
Coralie did not look away for a moment. What she saw was Skr''s muscr chest and strong arms.
Time seemed to have stood still. Coralie looked at his body for a few seconds in a daze. She quickly
closed the door and apologized, "I''m sorry. Next time, I''ll knock on the door."
She was still worried when she retreated to the door. She retreated even more and went back to the
living room, sitting on the sofa with her thoughts in a mess.
She could not help but feel her heart beating faster.
There was a small medical kit in the TV cab. Thinking of the injury on Skr''s forehead, Coralie
took some iodine solution and cotton swabs, and walked towards the bedroom door.
She knocked on the door.
She stood at the door and asked carefully, "How''s the wound on your face? I found some iodine
solution and cotton swabs from your house. Why don''t I help you with your wound? It''s best if it does
not get infected."
The next second, the bedroom door opened. Skr was wearing a set of navy blue pajamas. He stood
in the room, and still looked cold and indifferent.
