She let out a silent sigh and lost her resolve.
Due to this realization, she felt sorry for Nathaniel.
This feeling made her quite uneasy.
The three years she spent in the Roberts family were nothing short of hellish. She never felt any warmth or love there. After the divorce, she saw a different side of Nathaniel, a kind and caring one, and that touched her deeply.
However, Lucinda knew better than to repeat her mistakes.
She couldn’t risk getting hurt again because that would be the outcome of not putting an end to their relationship completely.
With a trembling hand, she gripped the belt tightly and summoned courage.
Gritting her teeth, she swung the belt hard.
Slap!
A sharp sound echoed through the air.
Lucinda avoided the wound in the middle of his back but left a dark red and swollen mark on his smooth skin.
Nathaniel gave no reaction. He didn’t say a word or even flinch.
Aside the tension in his muscles, he didn’t seem to be in pain.

Lucinda couldn’t help but glance at the red mark on his back before her eyes wandered to the bloody wound in the middle.
She was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions and didn’t want to continue whipping him.
“Put your clothes on and get out!”
Lucinda kicked him hard on the shoulder and threw the belt back at him.
“Leave now. I’m exhausted. I’ll punish you tomorrow.”
Then she raised the quilt and tucked herself in.
The unexpected kick caught Nathaniel off guard, and he stumbled a bit before regaining his balance.
Slowly, he fastened his belt and picked up his shirt and jacket from the dresser.
Since the bandage was removed, he couldn’t wear his shirt directly as it would get stained by the fluid from the wound, so he held it in his hand.
He turned his head and saw Lucinda lying on the bed, her back facing him. She didn’t bother changing her clothes. It seemed like she wasn’t really planning to sleep yet.
“Lucinda, why are you still wearing your coat? You won’t be able to sleep comfortably in that.”
