The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 419

He was taking advantage of Gwendolyn’s good mood to try his luck.

“Gwenny, can we forget the unhappy past and move on? Let’s watch TV together tonight. I will get you oranges. Sounds good?”

“No.” Gwendolyn remained unmoved.

Since he had already promised to help her, she expected him to finish his task. “Tell me honestly, how much work do you have left?”

Cedrick was rendered speechless and felt frustrated that even buying the woman her favorite fruit was not enough to save him.

With a gloomy expression, he pointed toward the documents on the coffee table.

He still had a third of the original stack left to clear.

Gwendolyn let out a laugh and said, “Do you remember the rule? You’ll get ten lashes for one unfinished page. Look at all those documents. You must be really dying to be lashed!”

Cedrick was utterly at a loss for words.

Without waiting for the man to reply, Gwendolyn had already started to pack her desk happily.

“Ceddy, hurry up and pack your stuff. I’m treating you to a good beating when we get back!”

Is she really that excited to beat me up?

Cedrick felt as if he was drowning in his own exasperation. Without saying a word, he helped to pack up the desk before lifting Gwendolyn up into his arms. Then, they got into the lift and headed down to the parking lot.

In the car, Cedrick leaned his head against Gwendolyn’s shoulder as a gesture of submission.

“Gwenny, are you really going to punish me? You know how heavy your ruler is. It will leave a mark on my skin. That will break your heart!”

Gwendolyn nodded seriously and replied, “You have a point. It would break my heart to see you get hurt!”

Cedrick was wordless. Why does it sound like she’s actually looking forward to it?

A smile crinkled the corners of Gwendolyn’s eyes as she caressed Cedrick’s cheeks to soothe his anxiousness.”

“Don’t worry. If I’m happy with your attitude, I will go easy on you.”

Cedrick kind of knew what to expect upon hearing that.

It seemed like Gwendolyn was not upset with him but just needed an excuse to punish him. He would gladly let her do it, knowing how tough it was for her to be carrying twins.

With an idea in mind, Cedrick stopped talking.

A while later, the two of them returned to Harrick Villa.

Upon arriving home, Gwendolyn headed straight to the bathroom to wash up.

Shortly after, she emerged from the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her. Her hair was still dripping wet, and she looked extremely alluring.

Cedrick was already kneeling on the bed, holding the mahogany ruler up with both hands in a proper and self-reflective manner. He was no longer anxious, and it appeared as if he had accepted his fate.

Although what he was doing was supposed to be rather humiliating, he still looked imposing and was emanating a dignified aura.

Leaning lazily against the wall, Gwendolyn said teasingly as a smile crept across her face, “Oh? It seems like it didn’t take you too long to figure things out.”

Cedrick nodded obediently and replied, “Gwenny, I shouldn’t have rejected the reward you offered me in the office earlier. Because of that, I deserved to be punished.”

Trying to suppress her laugh, Gwendolyn walked toward him, giving him a sidelong glance.

“Being pregnant must be really tiring for you. If hitting me makes you happy, I will gladly let you do it! Don’t worry and just whack me as hard as you like!”

“If that’s the case, how many times should I spank you, Ceddy?” the woman asked while taking the ruler from Cedrick and holding it firmly in her hands.

“As many times as you like,” Cedrick replied with his palms facing up.

“Okay then.”

Gwendolyn raised her arm and looked as if she was about to swing it down with all her might.

A look of alarm flashed across Cedrick’s face as he quickly said, “Wait, wait… maybe be more gentle? I don’t want you to tire yourself out!”

Gwendolyn was barely able to hold her laughter in any longer. However, in order to continue messing with Cedrick, she composed herself and lifted his chin with one end of the ruler.

“Are you worried that it would tire me out or that it would be painful for you?”

“Both,” the man answered honestly.

Gwendolyn continued holding back her laughter, and with a stern gaze in her eyes, she said in a punishing tone, “You really deserve a beating! It seems like you need a reminder of what it feels like when the ruler hits your skin!”

Cedrick’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he downcast his eyes and raised his hands, resigning himself to his fate.

However, instead of hitting him, Gwendolyn said with a teasing glint in her eyes, “I’ve just changed my mind. I want to spank you somewhere where there is more meat. C’mon, lie down on your stomach!”

Cedrick was rendered speechless.

His mind went blank as he stared at the woman. Resisting his urge to run away, he complained softly, “Gwenny, you’re playing dirty! We agreed that you’ll whack me on my hand!”

“Ha! You can’t keep up the act anymore, huh? Are you throwing a tantrum now?”

Gwendolyn enjoyed pranking Cedrick and was not about to back down. “I had already wanted to spank you previously but did not get to do it. It has been bugging me until now. I gotta make up for it this time.”

What the f*ck? Make up for it?

Cedrick was almost going crazy internally, but he remained still.

Gwendolyn tapped on the bed in front of her and urged, “Hurry up. Be good and lie down here.”

Taking a pause, she continued, “You said you will gladly let me hit you as long as it makes me happy. Our babies heard you too. Ceddy, you have to keep your word and be a good role model to our children!”

After a long internal struggle, Cedrick finally came to terms with his fate and lay on his stomach obediently, succumbing to the woman’s request.

With his previous experience, the present ordeal felt less embarrassing for him. Even so, his face was flushed bright red as he awaited his punishment.

The next moment, the ruler landed on Cedrick’s buttocks. However, instead of pain, the man felt ticklish instead. It was as if Gwendolyn was trying to arouse him.

Despite that, it was enough to fill him with frustration and embarrassment.

Having fun fooling around with Cedrick, Gwendolyn asked, “How are you feeling, Ceddy?”

Cedrick was too upset to reply and grumbled softly, “Well, I feel great to be spanked. Do you need me to write a reflective essay about the experience?”

Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn’s eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea! I can adjust my strength with every hit so that you can feel more sensations. That way, you could easily write an essay of at least two thousand words!”

Cedrick was gob smacked.

Did I just shoot myself in the foot?

Cedrick buried his head under the covers and kept quiet at once, fervently praying that the woman would stop tormenting him.

Trying her best to keep a straight face, Gwendolyn spanked Cedrick another two times, using more strength.

However, to someone like Cedrick who had gone through military training, it merely felt like an ant bite.

Initially, Gwendolyn only intended to tease him. After all, he was doing her a favor by helping her to annotate the documents. It was not right for her to repay his kindness by punishing him.

Since it was meant to be a joke, she did not want to go overboard and overstep the boundaries of good taste.

As such, she put the ruler back into the drawer before silently removing Cedrick’s belt.

Feeling something amiss, Cedrick became alert at once. Grabbing the waistband of his trousers, he exclaimed, “Gwenny, what are you doing?”

“Just now, you said I’ll be heartbroken if the spanking leaves a mark on your skin. So, I’m checking to make sure you’re not hurt.”

Even though Gwendolyn spoke in a serious tone, Cedrick immediately sensed danger.

As if spanking him was not enough, she even wanted to examine his injuries!

His pride would take a hit if he allowed her to do that.

No way!

“I’m not hurt! There’s no need for you to check. Let’s go watch TV. Shall I peel some oranges for you?” Cedrick was desperate to change the topic.

Unmoved, Gwendolyn cocked her brows and said with a smirk, “I’ll reward you after examining your injuries. If you don’t let me do it, you know what will happen!”

It was as clear as day what she was insinuating.

Cedrick was speechless.

Does she enjoy tormenting me that much?

What a little devil!

With the temptation of a reward, the man gave in and let go of his waistband decisively.

After the initial embarrassment, Cedrick received his reward, which was immensely pleasurable and euphoric.

Filled with satisfaction, he dried Gwendolyn’s hair with a hairdryer and carried her downstairs, where they ate oranges together.
