"Call him?"
Coralie was puzzled. Skylar didn't even go upstairs yesterday. Wasn't it because he didn't want anyone
else, even Wayne, to know about his condition? Why did he want to call him over now?
"Well, as his brother-in-law, I’m concerned about his future," Skylar said meaningfully.
"What?" She asked.
"Call him and invite him here. I'll send you the address later in the afternoon."
Skylar insisted.
Coralie didn't know what was in Skylar's mind, but since he had said it, she didn't object.
She went to make breakfast after that.
The fridge of the villa was already full of ingredients for one to prepare meals. Due to the time
constraints, Coralie had only managed to make some pancakes and oatmeal.
When Skylar's work was almost done, Coralie filled a big plate with his breakfast and brought it over to
him.
"A breakfast made with love for you."
Coralie said with a smile.
In fact, she hoped that when Skylar's legs were recovered, she could bring Hendric over too. It was the
best for all the family members to be together.
"Thank you, Dear."
Skylar pushed the laptop aside. In addition to thanking Coralie, he also gave her a kiss.
......
When Coralie went to work during the day, she contacted Wayne and told him that Skylar asked for him
to have dinner together.
Wayne had been down in the past few days because of the incident with Jamie but he truly admired
Skylar from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Skylar had stabilized Skyton Corporation and brought it back to glory again. It was on the
verge of collapsing a few years ago, and now it had become one of the top companies in A City.
That night, when Coralie got off work and took Skylar's car to the restaurant, Wayne was already
waiting for them in the private room. Skylar booked the entire restaurant this time around too. Wayne
didn't even need to search around, a waiter brought him straight to his place as soon as he arrived.
"Have you ordered the dishes?"
Coralie asked.
"Well, you should order your favorite food first. There will be another person joining us later."
Skylar only said that someone else was coming, but he didn't say who would be coming.
"Another person is coming?" Coralie confirmed.
"Who?" Wayne asked. He was even nervous since he had already changed his work clothes and came
over in a casual suit jacket after he got off work.
"You'll know in a while."
Skylar looked at Wayne with an incomprehensible expression.
Everyone had ordered the dishes. When all the dishes were served, the person still hadn't shown up
yet.
"Maybe the person doesn't know the place? Do you need me to go out and pick him up?"
Coralie felt that this person was definitely not ordinary because that person even dared to be late to a
dinner with Skylar.
If they weren’t an ordinary person, would she need to go and pick them up as a sign of courtesy?
"She should be arriving soon," he said.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Just as Skylar finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and a loud female voice rang
out.
Coralie looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person standing at the door was actually
Jamie, dressed in a down jacket, shorts, and long boots!
"Jamie!"
As soon as Wayne saw that it was Jamie who came in, he was so shocked that he quickly stood up.
His legs even hit the table because his actions were too fast.
Jamie stood at the door. When she saw Wayne sitting inside, her face was full of anger. She scolded,
"Wayne, you still had the audacity to call me?"
"Jamie."
Wayne didn't know why Jamie was angry. Was it because she saw him?
"Let's eat first."
Skylar understood Jamie's personality. Judging from her eyes when she saw Wayne, she was probably
furious now.
"Skylar, this is unacceptable. If you told me he was here, I would never have come for sure."
Jamie rolled his eyes at Wayne and sat angrily at the only empty seat on the table which was beside
him. After she sat down, she even moved the chairs and tableware away from Wayne on purpose.
Hearing Jamie's words, Wayne thought that Jamie was unwilling to see him. He stood up with
embarrassment and said, "Jamie, if you don't want to see me here, I'll leave first."
"This... "
Coralie looked at Skylar nervously and asked tentatively. She didn't know what he was thinking. He
wanted Wayne and Jamie to have a good chat, but it seemed that they couldn't get along.
Skylar continued to drink his water with a calm expression on his face. He didn't intend to say anything.
Wayne looked at the table. Except for Coralie, no one else said anything. He was convinced that he
should leave, so he stood up and went to get his coat.
Jamie saw that Wayne had stood up, taken his coat and opened the door... Just as Wayne was about
to step out, she finally roared, "Wayne! Stand right there!"
"Huh?"
Wayne didn't expect that Jamie would be the first one to ask him to stay!
He thought it would be Coralie. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Sit back down.”
Jamie was usually outspoken and straightforward, but she seemed to be a little unreasonable that day.
Hearing Jamie's words, Wayne obediently took off his coat and sat down again.
Coralie seemed to have understood it. Wayne wasn't a submissive boy. How could he put up when a
girl shouted at him like that?
When Skylar saw Wayne return, he said, "Let's eat."
He was considered the host, so it was only when he had spoken that everyone dared to start eating.
However, after he said this, only Coralie and him were eating. Wayne sat in his seat and did not move,
as if he was being punished.
"Wayne, didn't you say that you wanted to congratulate me that day?" Jamie asked. She took the bottle
of red wine from the table and pulled Wayne’s glass over. She poured a full glass of wine and handed it
directly to him and said, "I’ll accept it if you finish it."
"Okay..."
Wayne didn't know what had gotten into Jamie today. In the past, Jamie had always been easy-going
and had a straightforward personality.
What was going on today?
"Come on, down it."
Seeing that Wayne wasn't moving, Jamie urged him again.
"Sure."
Wayne actually drank the full glass of red wine without any objection.
On the side, Coralie frowned and watched as her brother swigged the glass of red wine.
When Jamie saw him drinking, she seemed to be even more infuriated. She asked, "Wayne, now tell
me, who were you waiting for at the entrance of our company with flowers in your arms?"
After drinking the red wine, Wayne felt that his throat was hot and his stomach was churning. He
quickly ate a few mouthfuls of dishes.
When he heard Jamie's question, he stopped eating.
"Did you see that?" He questioned.
"Yes, I did. Which girl in Skyton Corporation have you fallen in love with? Tell me about it and I'll do you
a favor," she said.
"You don't have to..." He tried to refuse.
"Don't be shy with me!" She interrupted.
"Cough! Cough!"
As Coralie listened to the conversation between Jamie and Wayne, she finally burst out laughing. As
she laughed, she choked on the food and kept coughing.
"Drink some water."
Skylar poured some water for Coralie.
It was only now that Jamie thought about the host today, Skylar, who had invited her here. She had
been too engrossed in getting angry with Wayne that she hadn't greeted Skylar or Coralie before
coming in. She quickly said, "Skylar, Coralie, I'm so sorry. I was too worked up and didn't notice you
guys."
"It’s fine."
Coralie shook her head and spoke up. She also understood Skylar's intentions that day. He probably
wanted to make Jamie and Wayne "have a good talk" in this way.
