Chapter 369
Coralie and Skylar took Hendric home.
Hendric drank some milk to relieve his hunger, and Coralie made some pasta for him, along with many
other dishes. They had a lavish dinner.
While having dinner, Hendric looked at Coralie and asked, "Mom, I don't have to go to Grandma's
house anymore, right?"
"Yes, we don't have to do that anymore, I promise."
Coralie patted Hendric's head and promised.
Hendric nodded excitedly, took a big bite of pasta, and said, "You cook the most delicious food."
"As long as you like it."
Coralie was satisfied to see that Hendric was eating.
Skylar looked at Hendric and explained to Coralie, "You're blaming me, aren't you? Because I've left
Hendric with my mother for a few days."
Hearing Skylar's words, Coralie lowered her head.
Of course, she blamed Skylar, but she didn't want to be angry with him. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Seeing that Coralie had fallen silent, Skylar said, "If she had never taken care of Hendric herself and
gotten a taste of it, she would've spoken matter-of-factly every time we talked about this. After this
incident, I'm sure that she would never interfere when it comes to Hendric ever again. She also
wouldn't bring up the topic of taking care of Hendric anymore."
Skylar explained.
After listening to his explanation, Coralie said, "You were taking a gamble. What if Hendric was locked
in the washing machine today and accidentally pressed the wrong buttons?"
"Our son is blessed with great fortune. Nothing will happen to him."
Skylar replied.
Hendric was eating noodles happily by himself. When he found out that his parents were upset about
what had happened, he said in a childish voice, "Mom, I will be obedient."
Coralie turned and saw that Hendric was holding his small bowl with both hands. He raised his head
and drank all the soup in the bowl. She smiled with gratification and asked him, "Is it delicious? Do you
want more?"
"Yes, please."
Hendric nodded.
She had made this especially for Hendric, but she didn't cook much of it. Seeing that Hendric still
wanted to eat, Coralie quickly stood up and poured the rest that was in the pot into his bowl.
Skylar saw that Coralie had not responded to him and immediately continued, "Son, your mom is angry
with me because I left you with your grandmother. Please help me out."
Coralie was in the kitchen serving Hendric pasta when she heard Skylar seeking help from Hendric.
She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Who allowed you to use Hendric like that?"
Coralie came out with a bowl of pasta and looked at Skylar, who was standing next to Hendric while
talking to him.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
When Hendric saw Coralie coming out, he looked up and apologized to her with a serious expression.
"It is alright. What did you do?"
Coralie didn't understand why Hendric wanted to apologize. She had just subconsciously told him that
it was alright.
Beside him, Skylar was also puzzled.
As both of them were puzzled, Hendric looked at Coralie and explained, "I'm apologizing on behalf of
my father. If you forgive me, could it be considered that you forgave him too, please?"
"Huh?"
Coralie hadn't expected that Hendric would've thought of this. She looked over at Skylar in
exasperation, speechless.
Hendric saw that Coralie was still silent. He asked again, "Is that okay, Mom?"
"Alright, alright. If you finish all this, I'll forgive him."
As Coralie spoke, she placed the bowl of pasta in front of Hendric.
"Alright."
After saying that, Hendric picked up the little fork and began to eat.
Coralie looked at Hendric eating the pasta. She then looked at Skylar and said, "You've fallen to the
point where your son has to apologize for you."
"Mainly because my status is inferior to my son's."
Skylar's face was full of innocence.
After dinner, Hendric had to sleep at 9 o'clock. After Coralie helped him with his bath and changed his
clothes, she sent him to his room.
Hendric's room was a renovated guest room which was next to the master bedroom.
When Skylar had sent people to set it up, he had specially placed little night lights of the stars and
moon in it so that Hendric would not be afraid to fall asleep.
When Hendric fell asleep, Coralie returned to the bedroom and saw that Skylar, who had just finished
showering, was only wrapped in a bath towel. Water dripped down from his wet hair onto his bare
chest.
Seeing that Coralie had entered the room, Skylar stepped forward and pressed her against the wall.
"My wife, let me apologize again."
"What do you mean?"
Before Coralie could react, Skylar had bent down to kiss her lips.
He was moving very slowly. When the kiss fell on her neck, he said, "I made you angry today, so you
are allowed to take charge."
"What? What are you talking about!"
Coralie felt that the man's kiss fell on her throat. When she spoke, she felt slightly suffocated and
couldn't help but clear her throat.
"Oh, so you like being at the bottom?"
"I've already said that I've forgiven you, and yet you..."
"But I haven't forgiven myself. I need to compensate you with practical actions."
Skylar continued as he spoke.
The bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, as if they were inseparable.
It was not until then that Coralie realized that he was making excuses to indulge themselves in bodily
pleasures.
She had been "compensated" twice by Skylar.
It was already past 12 o'clock at midnight after the end of the second time.
Coralie laid in Skylar's embrace and said exasperatedly, "Whatever you said today, your mom definitely
misunderstood me again. If we get married, she'll definitely threaten you with all sorts of methods."
"Then let's not get married. We'll date for the rest of our lives."
Skylar gently kissed her soft hair.
Hearing that the man said he would date her for an entire lifetime, Coralie suddenly felt that this
proposal was not bad and immediately agreed. "This suggestion isn't too bad."
After all, their relationship would change after marriage. If they didn't get married, would everything
remain the same?
Hearing that Coralie was serious about it, Skylar couldn't help but pinch her face and said, "I was just
joking around. How can I make you stay with me for the rest of your life without a rightful title?"
"It's not like we're in the ancient times. Titles aren't important. As long as I'm by your side, it'll be fine no
matter what happens."
Coralie leaned on Skylar, and the scent of his mint shampoo filled her nose. It smelled good.
"I think it's important," Skylar replied.
"Why is that?" Coralie asked.
"Because I want everyone to know that you're my wife."
Coralie fell asleep with those sweet words.
The next day, when Coralie woke up, she prepared breakfast for Skylar and Hendric. After the two of
them finished eating, they sent Hendric to the new kindergarten together.
The kindergarten was also private, but the children weren't required to live on campus.
After sending Hendric off, Coralie thought that Skylar would go to work. However, when she sat in the
car with Skylar, he took her hand and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
"You're not going to work?"
Coralie was a little surprised.
"Well, I will be on leave from today till the end of the honeymoon."
"You're an evil entrepreneur," she teased.
Although Coralie had said so, she was very happy in her heart.
Over the next few days, Skylar stayed by Coralie's side. In fact, he didn't do anything else. He just
accompanied her to buy groceries, ate together, and would occasionally go to the park for walks. In the
meantime, Skylar had also requested a designer to design an engagement dress according to Coralie's
size.
They were just like an old couple.
They were living an ordinary life, but Coralie was filled with warmth and happiness.
