You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 341

"It's fine."

Skylar spoke before Coralie could refuse.

The woman misunderstood his refusal and she hurriedly explained, "This is on the house. Don't worry,

you won't be charged."

"It's not because of that. He just doesn't like coriander."

Coralie explained on Skylar's behalf without hesitating.

Skylar had told her that he didn't eat coriander during their university days so Coralie was aware about

that habit of his.

Upon hearing that, the lady finally understood. She asked, "Oh, I see. Do you live here?"

"We'll only be staying for a week."

Coralie explained.

"If you don't mind, come over to my place for dinner tonight, I'll prepare a meal for you," said the lady

as she smiled at them. "My son works in the city and I'm staying here alone. You all can come over and

keep this old lady company." She pointed at herself.

Although she seemed to act nonchalant about it, Coralie could see that her eyes were wet with tears.

"Then... can we visit her tonight?" Coralie turned around to ask Skylar for his opinion.

After all, she and Hendric had come for Skylar. She was afraid that he would be unhappy if she simply

agreed to dinner with the old lady.

"It's up to you."

Skylar knew that Coralie wanted to agree. Although he wanted to spend more time with Coralie, he

also knew that Coralie was a kind-hearted person. It would be difficult for her to refuse the pitiful and

lonely old lady.

"Madam, could you please tell us the address of your place? We'll go over in the evening."

Hearing Skylar's approval, Coralie heaved a sigh of relief.

After receiving the address, the three of them went home to prepare lunch.

......

When dusk fell, Coralie located Madam Carter's house. It was not far from her house.

Coralie had initially thought that Madam Carter's house would be similar to hers. However, when they

arrived at their destination, Coralie was at a loss for words when she took in the house in front of her.

The house in front of her was no ordinary house! It was a mansion.

"Did I come to the wrong place?"

Coralie was a little surprised to see such a house. She was ready to leave.

However, at that moment, the door opened.

A servant in traditional Country A's clothes stood at the door and called, "Hello, Madam Carter is

waiting for you."

Coralie stood at the entrance as she did not dare to enter. She said to Skylar, "I-I regret coming..."

"Just go with the flow."

Skylar didn't expect the old lady's house to look like that either.

However, who would have thought that a plain-clothed woman who sold vegetables in the market was

actually the owner of a mansion?

Coralie and Skylar brought Hendric into the mansion.

Hendric looked around along the way in.

The house was really big. There was even a statue of a goddess in the fountain in the garden!

"Mom, this place is so big."

Hendric said as he walked.

"Yes, it is."

Coralie thought so as well.

The three people entered the mansion. When they arrived at the dining room, Rosa walked in with a

bowl of soup. When she saw the three people coming in, she said happily, "You are all here just in time.

The soup is ready. There's no coriander leaves inside."

"Thank you, Madam Carter."

Coralie quickly expressed her gratitude for Rosa's kindness on behalf of Skylar.

"Don't mention it. It's been a long time since I've had any visitors. I should thank you instead," Rosa

said. "There are some treats for the little boy as well. The cookies will be ready soon and you can eat

them after dinner."

"What kind of cookies are they?"

Hendric asked happily as soon as he heard that there were cookies for him.

"Chocolate chip cookies, of course!"

Rosa moved her face close to Hendric as she smiled and replied.

When the three of them were all seated, Rosa then asked, "Which part of Country A are you all from?"

"We are from A City."

Coralie answered.

"Oh, we used to live in B City, but we haven't gone back for many years," Rosa said as she gestured

for Coralie to come over. "Have a taste of my cooking. I don't have any other hobbies apart from

cooking. However, apart from the servants in this house, there's no one else to help me finish the food

so I'm really happy that you guys are here."

"In fact, if we knew that your place was so big, we wouldn't have dared to come."

Coralie spoke the truth.

If she had known it earlier, not only she wouldn't have dared to come, she wouldn't even dare to talk to

Madam Carter.

"Alas, it's just like that. Some of the people in town won't befriend me because they know that I live

here," Rosa sighed. "They all think that we're from different worlds. If I could choose, I would rather live

in an ordinary house. What's so good about this mansion?"

"It's so beautiful here."

Hendric looked up as he chewed. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar had been silent all along. However, Hendric's unruly behavior prompted Skylar to lecture him,

"Don't talk while you eat."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Hendric lowered his head and continued eating.

During the meal, they talked quite a lot.

After dinner, Rosa asked them to have some cookies as they chatted.

After introducing themselves, Coralie knew that the lady's name was Rosa Carter.

"Coralie, in fact, the reason why I invited you to come to my house for dinner is because you are all

from Country A. I thought that you looked dear to me. You look like one of my younger sisters."

Rosa walked over with a plate of cookies. She looked at Coralie and told the truth.

"Is that so? That is truly my honour."

Coralie did not think much about it. She merely replied politely.

However, Skylar looked at Coralie and Rosa. Although Rosa was almost sixty years old, her

appearance resembled that of Coralie's.

"Yes, I haven't contacted her for a long time. I don't know how she is now. I went back a few years ago

and asked someone to find her but I couldn't find her."

Rosa looked at Hendric, who was happily eating the cookies, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Hearing what Rosa said, Coralie then said, "Auntie Carter, what's your sister's name? Although we are

not in B City, we could help you look for her by making an announcement when we go back to the

country."

In the vast crowd, Coralie naturally knew that it was almost impossible to find Rosa's sister.

What's more, it had been so many years since Rosa went abroad and her sister might not be in A

Country anymore.

"Yes, if you could give me her details, I can ask my friends to look for her through the database."

Skylar added.

Compared with Coralie's suggestion, it would be a lot faster to find a person through the database. As

long as they had the person's name and the birth date, they would be able to find the person.

There were very few people with the same name born on the same day.

"Well..." Rosa thought for a moment and said, "My sister's name is Madison Carter, and she is 58 this

year. I don't remember her birthday..."

Hearing Rosa's words, Coralie's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Rosa and asked in dismay,

"Auntie Carter, could you repeat your sister's name again?"
