Chapter 817
Catching Sheena in a good mood, Elliot hoped to smooth things over.
“Nana, let’s forget about the unpleasantness earlier. How about I accompany you to eat clementines and watch some drama tonight?”
“Nope.” Sheena remained unmoved, and her decision was final. “Come clean now, How many
documents are left to unannotated?”
Elliot felt extremely uncomfortable.
Even the clementines could not save him this time?
Pointing to the files on the coffee table, he indicated there was still a third left, quite a bit.
Sheena chuckled. “Oh? What were the rules again? Ten strikes for each missing page. With this many files left, how many do you deserve?“.
Elliot did not dare to respond.
Before he could say anything, Sheena had already gone to tidy up her desk, happily shifting her focus.
“Eli, hurry and pack up. I’ll treat you to spicy smoked brisket when we get home!”
Was she this happy just to hit him?
He felt utterly miserable as he silently helped her tidy up. Then, he carried her to the car park.
In the car, he nestled against Sheena’s shoulder, showing vulnerability.
“Nana, are you really going to punish me? That ruler is quite heavy. If it leaves marks, you’ll feel bad.”
Sheena nodded earnestly. “That’s right. If you get hurt, it hurts me too!”
Elliot could not shake the feeling that she seemed excited about it.
Sheena gently rubbed his face, soothing his nerves, her smile warm and reassuring..
“Don’t worry, as long as you behave, I won’t be too harsh.”
Hearing her words, Elliot understood.
It seemed she was not angry but just wanted an excuse to discipline him a bit. After all, with her being pregnant, it was only fair to help her out.
Elliot made up his mind and did not say anything more.
Before long, the two of them arrived back at E&S Haven.
Sheena immediately went to take a shower.
Later, she emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel with her hair half–damp, exuding

sensuality.
She found Elliot kneeling dutifully on the bed.
Elliot held a wooden ruler, his demeanor self–aware and upright.
Gone was the nervousness he showed upon learning of his impending punishment at the office. Instead, he seemed to have accepted it.

Despite being engaged in a rather embarrassing act, his handsome face retained an air of nobility and
pride.
Leaning casually against the wall, Sheena’s voice carried a teasing tone as she quipped, “Oh, have you come to terms with it so quickly?”
Elliot nodded obediently. “Nana, I shouldn’t have rejected your spontaneous offer in the office earlier. Now that it’s turned into punishment, it’s my own fault.”
Approaching him, Sheena suppressed a smile as she glanced at him.
He continued, “You’ve been through a lot with the pregnancy. If hitting me can make you feel better,
it’s worth it. Don’t worry, I can take it.”
“Well then… How many strikes for the night?” Sheena took the ruler he handed her, firmly gripping it.
Elliot obediently spread his hands, palms up.
“Any amount will do, as long as it makes you happy.”
“In that case…”
Sheena raised the ruler as if she was going to strike him hard.
Elliot quickly interjected, “Or… maybe a little lighter, so you don’t strain yourself!”
She struggled to contain her amusement. To keep the teasing going, she forced a serious expression, using the tip of the ruler to playfully lift his chin.
‘Are you
afraid I’ll get tired or that it’ll hurt?”
“Both,” he answered honestly.
Sheena continued suppressing her laughter, her gaze mischievous as she solemnly accused him, You’ve been so naughty! It’s time you remembered the taste of the ruler!”
He lowered his gaze, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly as he resigned himself to lift up his hands.
