Chapter 187 There Will Not Be A Next Time

Discount? Is he begging for mercy?

Gwendolyn chuckled softly. He had been so tough in accepting his punishment just now, but he seemed to have backed down now. She had thought he was not afraid of pain.

She said nothing and untied the belt around his wrists.

Maverick wanted to avoid her, but she forcefully pinned his arms down, leaving him no choice but to bury his face in the blanket again, feeling defeated.

It seems she disagrees with a lighter punishment.

Just now, he had used all his strength to endure the pain of removing the rotten flesh from his wound, so his body felt weak and powerless now.

He might pass out if Ezra were to whip him two hundred times in the garden.

Gwendolyn would definitely sense something was off if he fainted. She might even take the opportunity to examine his wound. It had been three days since he was injured, and the injury caused by sulfuric acid was clearly different. With Gwendolyn’s cleverness, there was no way he could hide it from her.

As he lay there thinking, Gwendolyn had already undone the belt for him.

She stood by the edge of the bed and tilted her head to observe his reaction with a mischievous smirk on her lips. “Shall we?”

Maverick did not budge an inch.

Gwendolyn did not expect him to move, so she turned around and was prepared to close the open window.

“Although my physical strength has recovered, my back still hurts, and I don’t have any strength…” Maverick said softly as he grabbed her wrist, thinking she was going to leave the room. This punishment is too heavy. I might not be able to endure it.

He took a deep breath and continued, “If you can’t give a discount, can you perhaps postpone the penalty until after autumn?”

He meant to wait until he recovered from his injuries before accepting the punishment.

Gwendolyn had just wanted to tease him. She did not really intend to punish him.
