Sonny was shocked and broke into a grin.
It seemed like an impossible task considering Miss Simmons’ strong-willed personality, didn’t it?
However, judging by the determined expression on Nathan’s face, Sonny paced restlessly in the office, racking his brain to find a solution.
“Right! Please give me a moment!”
He hurriedly dashed out of the office.
About five minutes later, Sonny returned with a sturdy wooden ferule and handed it over to Nathan.
“If a woman refuses to listen, sometimes you need to establish some ground rules and a system of consequences. It might just do the trick!”
Nathan’s face darkened as he examined the ferule in his hand. The thought of inflicting pain on her made him uneasy.
How could he bear to hurt her?
Besides, what if she got scared and left him?
He shot a cold look at Sonny and retorted, “You really expect me to use such a thing to hit her?”
“No, no! There’s no need to actually hit her. Just put on a fierce expression, raise your voice, and intimidate her with this. Many women secretly desire a dominant and tough man, right? What if she turns out to like this?”
Lost in his thoughts, Nathan stared at the ferule in his hand.
The previous night, before heading to the Simmons’ residence for dinner, he had raised his voice at Lucinda in the living room.
Surprisingly, she had burst into tears, appearing vulnerable and hurt.

He had never scolded her like that before. Perhaps, she would actually listen to him if he brought out this ferule and pretended to be tough.
Sonny continued his persuasion.
“Give it a shot. If it doesn’t work out or if you realize it’s a mistake, you can sincerely apologize.
She’ll forgive you then.”
Nathan pondered it over and decided to give it a try later that evening after work. He had to prove that he was the one in charge of their household!
As the workday was drawing to a close, Lucinda packed her things in anticipation, waiting for Nathan to come and pick her up.
Meanwhile, the surprise gift she had prepared for Nathan had arrived.
She eagerly anticipated trying it out that night.
Just then, Vivian knocked on the door. She hurried inside, looking anxious.
