Elijah looked up at her, smiling to please.

Sheena gave him a disdainful glare, thinking he truly deserved a good beating. She could not let him off without making him cry for mercy, or she would not be able to swallow her pride!

Elijah did not hesitate, immediately undoing the metal buckle and obediently handing it over. Then, he turned around, presenting his back to her.

Thinking about this, Sheena’s emotions became complicated. Her wrist seemed to be restrained by an inexplicable force, preventing her from swinging the belt no matter how hard she tried.
