His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242

Anastasia knew what she looked like, so she found it a mockery to be praised like that. The initial fondness she was starting to have for Lily disappeared in an instant.

However, Lily wasn't surprised by Anastasia's glumness. After all, sensitive people were like this. A simple sentence could either make her happy or hit her nerves.

"It's a genuine compliment." Lily nodded sincerely. "Yes, your figure does not fit the societal beauty standard, and you might have some extra flesh somewhere, but you're still beautiful.

Your skin is so clear. It's rare to be born with such good skin. If you're keen on losing weight, I'm sure you'll fee! Beautiful yourself."

Anastasia listened to Lily's explanation and saw that it was sincere and not empty words. Her eyes gradually lit up before they dimmed again.

"The problem is, I can't seem to lose weight."

She had tried various methods for years, be it exercising, dieting, or other weight loss programs, but nothing seemed to work.

In her worst year, she tried starving herself until she passed out.

Fortunately, she was discovered by the servants at home and sent to the hospital in time. That incident caused her to be scolded by her father. He told her that although it was good to lose weight, her health must come first.

After trying over and over again, she lost faith that she could lose weight and even started to talk badly about herself. Every time she went out, she would wrap herself up so as not to be seen by others. She didn't want anyone to see her body.

This time, if it weren't for the dress and the place that Lily had picked to meet up, she wouldn't have come out at all.

"Maybe you can't lose weight because of how you're doing it." Lily looked at her and suddenly stretched out her hand to offer the blueberry mousse in front of her. "Do you want some?"

Anastasia was surprised as she looked at Lily with widening eyes before quickly shaking her head, flustered.

However, Anastasia's gaze was fixed on the cake. The eagerness in her eyes could not be concealed, even though she had rejected Lily's offer.

In fact, Lily could tell that from the time Anastasia sat down, she was longing to order some food but had been desperately suppressing her appetite and desire. She had constantly been fighting with her inner demons.

Although she ordered a glass of lemonade, she had barely touched it. As the two were talking, Lily caught Anastasia glancing at the cake display on the counter several times. "You see, you're treating food as an enemy. That is unnecessary."

"You don't understand!" Anastasia lowered her head and mumbled, "You don't understand the pain of being fat. Even a sip of water will make you gain weight, not to mention this dessert. I can't even touch it!" "This is blueberry mousse," Lily explained as she pushed it closer to Anastasia. "I've seen what they used for this. The yogurt base in this has a relatively low fat and calorie count. This glass of mousse will not add up to even a hundred calories. Based on your height and weight, your daily calorie intake should be at least 1600..."

After a pause, Lily suddenly asked, "Have you eaten anything today?"

"How did you know that?!" Anastasia blurted out. Then she quickly reeled herself in, as if not to embarrass herself. "I'm just not hungry."

"I heard your stomach growling," Lily replied with a slight smile.

Unexpectedly, Anastasia's cheeks turned red. Then anger took over again. 'Are you laughing at me?"

"No, I'm just letting you know that you should be kinder to yourself" As Lily said this, she pushed the fork toward Anastasia.

"Even if you don't eat today or tomorrow, can you keep it up for your whole life?

"You shouldn't treat food as your enemy. Learn to make peace with them. Trust me, this blueberry mousse won't do you much harm."

Lily's words seemed bewitching to Anastasia's ears, and the dessert in front of her seemed even more alluring. Suddenly, she couldn't help but pick up the fork.
