Chapter 374
The engagement ceremony was on the next day.
Coralie put on her dress and makeup in the dressing room and looked at the list of people invited by
Skylar in advance.
She found that in addition to Wayne, Jamie, and Hera, Skylar had also invited Xenia and Josephine,
whom she had mentioned casually before.
"You remembered that I mentioned inviting Josephine?"
Coralie was a little surprised.
During that time, she had just randomly mentioned it. Skylar said it was a small engagement ceremony,
and she was worried that there was not enough space and did not request further. However, she did
not expect that Skylar had already invited them.
"Yes, your friends are very important."
Skylar said.
Coralie looked at the list, only to find that Anthony and Lillian were not on it.
"You did not invite... Auntie Ford?"
In hesitation, Coralie decided to call her Auntie Ford. After all, they were only engaged, and Lillian did
not accept her as her daughter-in-law. Hence, she could not address Lillian as 'mom'.
"Well, let her play poker at ease."
Skylar said.
In fact, they all knew that if Lillian came today, the engagement ceremony could not be held. Lillian
would definitely make a fuss, and everyone would be embarrassed.
"Will she be angry?"
Coralie was still a little worried. After all, if Lillian knew about it, she would certainly not approve of this
wedding.
"I can't wait to marry you. I'm afraid I can't wait until she won't be angry anymore."
Skylar stood behind Coralie and tidied up her dress. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Hello!''
The door was pushed open slightly while they were talking, and Xenia poked her head through the
door. Initially, she was in high spirits, but when she saw that Skylar was in the room, her cheerful face
froze immediately.
"Xenia, why are you here so early?"
Coralie looked at Xenia, as she felt it was a little strange.
"I have a special engagement gift for you, but I did not expect your husband to be here as well"
Xenia looked at Skylar and smiled very awkwardly. She leaned half of her body in at the door as if she
wanted to come in, but it seemed that she was also a little conflicted.
"A gift?" Coralie did not think much and said, "Your attendance is already enough to make me happy.
You do not have to prepare a gift for me."
"Mm... It's not anything expensive." Xenia looked at Skylar and thought for a moment before asking,
"Should I give it to you here?"
"Yes, please."
Coralie nodded.
Hearing her consent, Xenia walked into the room and dragged a huge plastic bag with her.
Although it was unopened, Coralie could see through the plastic bag and saw a pair of bunny ears
inside...
Skylar squinted his eyes, looked at the contents of the bag carefully, and seemed to have guessed
what it was...
"Oh my, that's a bit too much."
Xenia could not control herself from laughing hysterically.
"What is it?"
Coralie stood up, wanting to take a closer look, but Xenia suddenly stopped her and said, "Don't look at
it anymore. You two can take it back home and take your time to look at it. It's for the both of you
anyway."
"Yes, take a look at it at night when we're home."
Skylar, who was standing at the side, had already gotten a rough idea of what was inside the bag.
Upon hearing Skylar's words, Xenia knew that Skylar had already guessed what it was, and therefore
she said, "Multiple sets with different designs. Even if you wore one set per day, it is a guarantee that
you won't wear any repeated designs for half a month. I wish the both of you a harmonious life."
Upon hearing Xenia's words, Coralie finally understood what was in the bag!
"I don't think there's a need for so many?"
Coralie protested!
She suddenly regretted asking Xenia to give her the gift there. Her relationship with Skylar had always
been ordinary. They never had such special accessories, costumes, etc....
"Oh, actually, I only wanted to buy one set, but as I was surfing the Internet, there were too many good
varieties, so I had to buy all of them."
However, Xenia did not expect Skylar to be in the dressing room as well.
She had already thought about how she would show such a private thing to Coralie, but it would not be
possible with Skylar in the room.
"Well, thank you, but please remember to send me a text message the next time you give me
something like this..."
Coralie knew that Xenia gave her such gifts because they had a good friendship together.
Moreover, they were all adults, and those might be considered normal.
"No, no, there won't be a next time." When Xenia heard Coralie's words, she was a little embarrassed.
When the courier came after I bought them, 'Lovely S*x Toys' was clearly written on the box. The
delivery boy gave me a strange look."
Skylar stood there a while before saying, "Alright, I'll go out and check on the preparations outside. You
girls can continue to chat here."
After that, he left.
He realized that it was not appropriate for him to be there as the two women talked about such private
matters.
After Skylar left, Xenia quickly opened the plastic bag and said, 'Ah, now that President Holland is
gone, I really want to show you these."
It was Xenia's first time buying these items. She was more curious than Coralie, and she was eager to
share them with others.
Coralie sat there as she watched Xenia open the bag to show her the costumes.
There was a bunny costume, maid attire, student's uniform...
"You did not buy the entire shop, right?"
Coralie couldn't help but asked as she watched Xenia.
She initially thought that there were only a few sets, but she didn't expect that those costumes would
be so revealing. A set of the costume was only half of the material used for normal clothes.
"No, no, some styles are old-fashioned, so I did not buy them." Xenia fiddled for a while and told the
truth. "Actually, I was curious and wanted to see what these clothes look like, but it's useless for me to
buy them. And since you are getting engaged, it's the perfect time for me to buy them!"
Coralie looked at the pile of clothes and whispered, "You must invite me when you get married, I will
give you something more interesting than these."
"Don't even!" Upon hearing Coralie's words, Xenia knew there were hidden meanings behind her
words. She touched Coralie's wedding dress and said, "You can just give me money. Ten thousand is
not too little, and one hundred thousand is not too much. There's no limit."
She was only trying to satisfy her curiosity!
How could she allow Coralie to play her after she played Coralie?
After Skylar left the dressing room, he ran into Harvey, who had arrived ahead of time in the hall. When
Harvey saw Skylar, he quickly walked over and asked, "Did you see Xenia?"
He looked a little nervous.
"Yes, I saw her. What is the matter?"
Skylar and Harvey had known each other for many years. This was the first time he had seen Harvey
so nervous over a woman.
"I have asked her to come with me today, but she rejected me. I was wondering if I did anything wrong
to make her angry again."
Harvey said with a conflicted expression.
However, after listening to Harvey, Skylar had already guessed why Xenia didn't want to come with
him.
According to Coralie, Xenia and Harvey were not an official couple. Since Xenia was carrying those
"special clothes", she had to avoid Harvey.
"You did not make her angry. She's in the dressing room. I suggest you make it official with her quickly
and let her experience life with you. Otherwise, she will always be curious about other people."
Without hesitation, Skylar told Harvey where Xenia was and vaguely expressed his opinion.
