“Since you know that you were wrong, you have to accept my punishment. That way, you won’t do it again.
Come on, stretch out your hand for me.”
With a deep frown, Nathan took in a deep breath and refused to move an inch. He suddenly felt annoyed at himself for thinking that he would be able to get off easily.
“Well?” Lucinda fumed.
Looking at her treacherous gaze, he slowly stretched out his left hand. The end of the ferule was placed on his palm in an instant, but she did not seem like she was in a hurry to make a move just yet.
“You hid some cigarettes, thinking that I would not find out about it. Then, you lied to me and said that they were Sonny’s. Just now, you even tried to pretend as if you’re ill so that you could avoid my punishment and did not care if I was worried. How many slaps do you think you should accept?”
Upon hearing her words, his shoulders slumped. He knew that it was the end of him.

Nathan felt a bit embarrassed and looked down after realizing that she had already known that he had just been pretending to be sick.
There was no escape from her after all. She knew everything he did and even listed his crimes one by one.
“Give me a number!” she demanded.
Tapping his palm lightly with a ferule, he blinked a few times and woke up from his stupor.
Not knowing what to answer, he bit his lip and muttered, “Then…

This did not seem to sit well with Lucinda. Her frown deepened as she shot him a cold glare.
“One hundred!”
Nathan involuntarily trembled. With panic in his eyes, he said, “How about five slaps?”
“Fifty,” she replied calmly.
Hearing that she cut down the number in half, he felt as if a thorn had been pulled out of him.
In an attempt to lessen his sentence, he tried to negotiate.
“Ten?”
Lucinda paused for two seconds before replying, “Twenty.”
Nathan thought for a moment. Afraid that she would make it worse, he nodded hesitantly and said, “Okay, twenty it is, then.”
He took in a deep breath and braced himself, but she did not move.
Instead, she just raised her eyebrows at him and snickered.
