Gulp…
The corner of Skylar’s mouth twitched. Yulia Sue was a true boss lady who could kill him if she wanted
to. Calling her fat? Like he would ever dare say such a thing! The consequences of his wife getting
upset was worse than a war breaking out.
Skylar had initially wanted to use the massage as an excuse to get intimate with his wife, but that
fantasy of his was unlikely to be fulfilled right now. He glanced at little Lola and shrugged his shoulders
helplessly. Lola had also been quiet since her mother scolded her, albeit teasingly.
“Are you two not going to sleep yet? Why are you still awake?” Yulia had a little smirk on her lips as she
switched the bedside lamp off, leaving the father and daughter wide awake in the darkness.
The next morning, a familiar ringtone woke Skylar and Yulia up from their restful slumber.

headboard. He unplugged the phone and handed it to Yulia.
It was a call from the company. Yulia straightened up in bed before she took the call.
“Yes, Tom, is everything alright? Is there an issue with anti-freckle cream?” Yulia asked anxiously.
“No, Ms. Sue, everything’s alright with the product,” Tom on the other end was quick to reassure his
boss. “Someone came to the company this morning asking to meet Mr. Stone and insisted I contact
you. I’m sorry for calling so early in the morning…”
“Someone wants to meet Mr. Stone? Who is it?” Yulia asked. This was surprising news to Yulia. Who
was looking for Skylar in the wee hours of the morning?
“Umm, I’m not too sure myself, Ms. Sue. I think you should come here and see for yourself.” Tom’s
voice sounded a little hesitant.
Yulia figured it would be better for her to check the situation out for herself. She woke her husband
lying next to her. “Sky, someone’s looking for you at the office. Based on Tom’s tone, the person must
be someone important. Come with me!” she urged.
In truth, Skylar was wide awake and had been eavesdropping on Yulia’s conversation. However, he
decided to be a little cheeky with his wife that morning, pretending to be asleep and ignoring Yulia.
“Hey! I’m talking to you, Sky! Someone’s looking for you, you big oaf!” Yulia tried to nudge her husband
to no avail. As she huffed and puffed trying to push Skylar out of bed, Skylar extended his long arm
around her slender waist, pulling her body atop his.
“I won’t have any motivation to wake up unless I get a good morning kiss from my wife,” Skylar said
affectionately as he continued to hug her.
“Argh, you tricked me!” Yulia huffed as she playfully punched Skylar’s shoulder with her tiny fists.

smooth, stirring something in Yulia. She nudged her head forward shyly and planted a soft kiss on
Skylar’s lips before trying to break free from his arms. However, he kept her trapped in position with
one arm around her waist and the other at the back of her head, her lips still lingering dangerously
close to his.
“Let go of me, Sky. Lola will wake up anytime soon…” she warned her husband. Her nervousness only
served to tempt Skylar even further. He shut her up by kissing her once more, this time deeper and
more passionately.
Just as Skylar was desperately hungry for me, Lola stirred from her sleep.
“Mommy, why are you on top of Daddy?” she asked innocently as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
“Umm…” Yulia blushed profusely, down to her ears. Her own child just caught her making out with her
husband, for goodness’ sake. Where would she hide her face if Lola retold this story to her friends at
kindergarten?
“Lola, Mommy was about to get out of bed, but I slipped and fell on top of Daddy…” Yulia explained.
