Chapter 57


    "I set it up for her. Do you have any problem with that?"


    Before Coralie Chariott could speak, Skr Hond, who had entered the house, answered for her.


    In fact, the answer was obvious, but Lillian Ford didn''t give up. She had to ask about this.


    "But, Skr, you set up the ess for her so casually. What if she decides to steal from the house?"


    Lillian went in and said. Coincidentally, the position where she stood happened to be next to Coralie.


    "Although my family is poor, I have moral standards,"


    Coralie said this and followed her into the door. She didn''t want to talk to Lillian anymore.


    She had no clue what Lillian had gone through and why she looked down on ordinary people. She


    recalled that Grandmother Hond said that Lillian was from an ordinary family too.


    "Moral standards? Everything is bullsh*t when there''s temptation of money!"


    Lillian watched Coralie enter and didn''t want to let her go.


    However, at this time, Skr stood between them, like a high wall. "She is my wife. As my mother, I


    hope you won''t cross the line."


    Coralie stood behind him and felt a sense of warmth, when she heard Skr''s words of assistance.


    She whispered, "Thank you."


    Then, she went into the kitchen with the groceries.


    Grandmother Hond witnessed all of this.


    "You two are married? Have you registered your marriage and received the certificate?"


    "Yes."


    "Why didn''t you discuss with me with regards to such an important matter?"


    Lillian panicked in an instant. What was happening? She thought that Skr and Coralie were at most


    in love, but she didn''t expect that they had registered their marriage and gotten the marriage certificate.


    "That''s enough. Skye is an adult. Does he need to get your approval to get married? Don''t tell me that


    if you don''t like this, you won''t let him marry her?"


    Grandmother Hond was helped by a servant toe over. Her voice was very pleasant but dignified.


    Lillian was unable to refute this. Of course, she liked Valerie Rae, who was smart and sensible.


    Besides, Valerie always buy her dresses and bags from designerbels and exclusive brands.


    Lillian did not work, she received an allowance from Skr''s father every month. If Valerie was her


    daughter-inw and provided her with branded goods regrly, she could save her own money to buy


    something else.


    "Yes, yes. Mom, you''re right."


    On the surface, Lillian epted this, because she was not in a hurry. She believed that with Valerie''s


    return, Skr would be able to make the right decision.


    At this time, Skr also entered the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help you with?"


    "There''s no need for that, thank you." After saying that, Coralie remembered that Skr had helped to


    defend her against Lillian''s threats just now. She spoke again, "Also, thank you for your help at the door


    just now."


    "Granny is watching us. I don''t want her to suspect anything,"


    Skr exined.


    "Oh, I see. That''s right. Grandmother Hond was sitting in the living room just now. Looks like i have


    forgotten this after going out for groceries,"


    Coralie bit her lip and said awkwardly.


    It turned out that he was doing this for Grandmother Hond, she''s making a fool of herself.


    For dinner, Coralie cooked a variety of dishes, but most of them were rtively light, in order to adapt


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    to Grandmother Hond''s taste.


    "Well, the dishes were all delicious. Skye, you have toe back for dinner regrly in the future. Men


    work hard outside so that they cane home to eat with their families."


    It was the first time Grandmother Hond had eaten the dishes prepared by Coralie. They were


    refreshing and delicious. There was not much oil and salt in them. She was quite particr about this.


    "Yes, granny,"


    Skr answered seriously. He listened to his grandmother''s words the most.


    Due to Grandmother Hond''s health, she had the habit of drinking a little red wine at dinner. Everyone


    drank with her. Although Coralie could not hold her liquor, she did not dare to say anything at this time.


    She had no choice but to drink some wine as well.


    After dinner, Lillian wanted to stay, but Grandmother Hond asked her to leave together.


    Helplessly, Lillian had to go out with Grandmother Hond.


    With the departure of the guests, the house became quiet again.


    ......


    After Coralie put the tes they had used into the dishwasher one by one, she felt a little dizzy.


    "I''ll take a shower first. I''lle downter to clean up."


    As she spoke, she walked and swayed. She had to use the railing to support herself.


    Skr, who was sitting in the living room, tilted his head. He noticed that Coralie''s face was red, and


    her limbs were obviously uncoordinated. As she went upstairs, she swayed from side to side, as if she


    would fall from the stairs in the next second.


    He frowned slightly and put aside the tablet. He followed her and held her arm.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay, I can do this."


    Coralie stretched out her hand and pushed Skr''s arm away. She tried to act as if she was sober, and


    she jumped up and down the stairs. Obviously, she was drunk.


    "Hurry up and go to bed. I''ll ask a part-time worker to clean up these things tomorrow."


    Skr felt a little helpless when he saw her like this.


    "I can do it. I''m not drunk."


    Coralie forced herself to go upstairs. She walked into the bathroom in the master bedroom, feeling


    rather self-conscious. Then, she began to fill the bathtub. Since it took some time to fill the bathtub,


    they usually only used the showers daily.


    Today, Coralie felt like using the fan-shaped bathtub. She sat by the side enthusiastically, waiting for


    the water to be filled.


    Initially, Skr was watching the news on the tablet downstairs. After waiting for more than half an


    hour, he noticed that Coralie hadn''te down. He could not help but worry. He went upstairs, entered


    the master bedroom, and heard the sound of watering from the bathroom. It sounded different


    from the sound of the shower, so he went forward and opened the bathroom door without hesitation...


    He saw that Coralie was sitting next to the bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel. Her face and body were


    still red. Her hair was hanging down on one side of her shoulder, and her feet were in the bathtub,


    sshing the water inside.


    She looked at the surface of the water with her eyshes hanging down.


    With the addition of steam, the scene looked almost magical.


    Hearing someonee in, Coralie turned her head and saw Skr standing at the door. She was so


    scared that she slipped and fell backward...


    "Be careful!"


    Seeing that Coralie was about to fall down, Skr stepped forward and held her in his arms.


    Coralie was still covered with her bath towel while in his arms. She felt dizzy. After a long time, she


    opened her eyes and said 4 words, "Skr, I feel dizzy."


    It was these four words that brought Skr''s memory back to a few years ago.


    At that time, Coralie almost fell down when she was drunk. When she was in his arms, she also said


    those same words.


    "If you''re dizzy, go and have some rest."


    Skr said the same words as that day. Before he noticed it, his voice had be as gentle as his


    voice on that day.


    "I still have to take a bath."


    Coralie, who was drunk, was limp all over. Before he could react, she rolled over and slipped into the


    bathtub. Only her hands were still in the man''s arms, and her eyes were blurry.


    However, in his arms, besides Coralie''s hands, there was also the bath towel wrapping her body just


    now.
