Chapter 122


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


    that Skr married Coralie to bring forth the good luck to Grandmother Hond, 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 Skr 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 thepany the


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


    Moreover, if Skr 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 imusible for Coralie and Skr to divorce each other.


    Valerie needed more help to execute her ns.


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


    that she liked Valerie and despised Coralie.


    "What do you mean?"


    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 thepany!"

    "How could this be..."


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


    that Lillian''s expression was not angry at all, but quite happy instead. This waspletely 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 Skr 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 Skr''s children, Valerie might cut all ties with the Hond family in the


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


    Coralie certainly would not spend asvishly 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


    be 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 Skr 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 used and scolded.


    However...


    When Coralie entered the house with Skr 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..."


    Skr 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 t belly, she pursed her lip


    and said, "Why is her stomach so t? 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."


    Skr exined.


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


    In fact, Skr 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 y 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 epted the fact


    that she was pregnant.


    It calmed Coralie''s heart by a whole lot.


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


    Coralie had always felt insecure in their rtionship.


    Skr knew that Coralie had no intention of bing a full time housewife, so he exined to Lillian,


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


    ......


    After Skr 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 Skr. She then asked, "Skr, 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.
