Lucinda gently stroked the back of his head as a twinge of sympathy welled up within her.
But this served as a warning and retribution for the mistakes he made a few days ago.
The wounds on his body had almost healed. This was the gentlest way to punish him.

Kneeling for just 30 minutes?
Nathan let out a sigh of relief, grateful that he didn’t have to endure a long and grueling punishment.
He had actually half-expected her to make him kneel for hours on end, maybe even the entire night.
Lucinda seemed to have softened.
Apparently, she still cared about him.
This realization lifted his spirits. He reluctantly pulled away from Lucinda’s legs and straightened his back to face his punishment.

Meanwhile, Lucinda, noticed that he had been obedient, took out her phone and resumed dealing with Noelle’s case.
Vivian had bombarded Lucinda with multiple messages. She had been so preoccupied setting up rules for Nathan that she had forgotten to check her phone until now.
Vivian told her to check the trending news online.
