By then, Gwendolyn was a little annoyed. She tapped on the edge of the bed. “You can explain the whole thing again after I’m done punishing you.”

Cedrick was stumped.

Feeling stifled, he pursed his lips in silence and looked at her resentfully.

She wore an indifferent expression and used the ruler to rap the edge of the bed again, reminding him, “Have you forgotten the fifty points on the Precepts for Men Kieran gave you previously?”

Cedrick was rendered speechless. He struggled internally for some time before ultimately spreading his fingers and thrusting his palm forward.

Gwendolyn shook her head in dissatisfaction. “Both hands.”

“Gwenny, I still have to sign agreements at work tomorrow.” If his right hand was injured, he wouldn’t be able to write well.

She remained expressionless and unfazed, seemingly reminding him with her silence that there was no room for negotiations.

Stung by her gaze, he stretched out his right hand in a fit of pique, offering both palms.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

She struck his palms with the ruler forcefully thrice.

His palms instantly swelled up and reddened.

Cedrick scrunched up his face in agony. His fingertips trembled slightly as he held his breath, feeling deeply hurt inside.

Gwendolyn looked down at him with reddened eyes and asked, “You haven’t shown our babies much care since they were born. Cedrick, do you no longer like me, or are you not fond of the children I’ve endured much pain to deliver for you?”
