Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 295

“I do yoga to keep fit every day, but I think my waist could still use some trimming…” Valerie continued.“No!” Yulia interrupted Valerie as she was speaking.Startled by Yulia’s vehement rejection, Valerie tried to explain herself. “Yulia, I was only asking Skylar to help me trim my waist. If you’re worried, you could stand in with us and watch from the side!” she negotiated with Yulia.Yulia seemed to consider Valerie’s proposition for a moment before she shook her head. “No, it’s non-negotiable,” she stood her ground and gave Skylar the side-eye as a warning. Skylar had once told her that the massage would require the other party to take off all their clothes. Yulia admittedly felt threatened, considering Valerie was a beautiful woman who was not over Skylar after all these years. How could she allow Skylar to give him a massage?“Why not?” Valerie questioned her.“Because…” she pursed her lips together, trying to think up an answer. “Because I need to maintain my figure more than you do. He’s busy massaging me every day! He doesn’t have that much time to spare.”Valerie gave Yulia a quick once-over, scanning her from top to bottom. “I did hear that it’s harder for women to maintain their figure after giving birth. I suppose that’s true?”“Yes, exactly, Valerie,” Yulia said hastily. “You should let Skylar off the hook.”Valerie nodded, understanding Yulia’s position a little better now. She stopped pestering Skylar for a slimming massage and made a mental note to never give birth to a child.Witnessing the entire exchange, Skylar could barely stifle his laughter. Yulia rolled her eyes as she ribbed him in the side. She had somehow made herself into a fat middle-aged mother in her bid to stop Valerie from getting a massage from Skylar. Skylar and his family bid goodbye to Valerie after dinner and made their way back home. After showering and putting Lola to bed, Skylar and Yulia finally laid in their bed, exhausted from their day out. Skylar turned to Yulia, smiling sweetly as he said, “Honey, I’m ready to give you a massage!”Yulia was facing the other side away from Skylar, but she did not respond to Skylar’s invitation.“Didn’t you tell Valerie at dinner that I would give you a massage every night? Let’s start tonight then!” Skylar’s voice was excited.“Yay… Daddy help mummy lose weight…” a half-asleep Lola mumbled groggily.Yulia was caught in a pickle. She only said what she said about the massage previously so that Valerie would stop making advances toward her husband.

She never thought Skylar would take it seriously and offer her a real massage in front of their daughter.This man is truly clueless! she thought.She could not go back on her word in front of her daughter either, fearing that it would set a bad example for Lola. After staying silent for a long moment, Yulia turned around to face her husband and daughter. “Are you two calling me fat?” she asked moodily.“Of course not, honey! You have a body like a model! How could you be fat?!” Skylar waved both hands in the air, caught off guard by Yulia’s sudden accusation.“Mommy is not fat! My school friends say Mommy is the prettiest Mommy!” Lola piped in.Looking at her child and her older man-child begging for ‘mercy’, Yulia could not help but laugh out loud. “I guess I won’t be needing a massage since I have such a perfect body,” she joked. “I’ll take that massage whenever the two of you call me fat again!” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
