The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 251

Chapter 251 She held onto his fingertips, preventing him from instinctively retracting due to pain. She raised her right hand high in the air and swung the ruler with all her might, striking him three times in succession. This time, she didn’t hold back. With her skills in martial arts, she put all her strength into each strike. Eder sucked in a sharp breath, his jaw clenched tightly, and his arm trembled uncontrollably. His broad palm quickly swelled up, filled with blood, displaying vivid purplish-red marks. The palm was only so big, not as large as his back. With each strike of the ruler, the impact piled up in the same spot. Eder despised this kind of pain. Because the palm was fragile, the excruciating pain was piercing. His attempt to establish his authority backfired, and he was instead reprimanded by Grace. He felt both pain and frustration. He shouldn’t have listened to Erie’s ridiculous idea! What a ridiculous nation to establish authority with a stup id ruler. It only provided Grace with a convenient tool and a valid reason to bully him! Grace saw the pain in his eyes and asked the same question, her voice filled with concern. “Does it hurt?” Eder understood and let out a plaintive sound through clenched teeth, “It hurts…” Grace glanced at his swollen palm, her heart aching for him. She put down the ruler and changed her grip, using her thumb to gently massage away the pain. As she massaged, she spoke in a gentle and reassuring tone. “Since you know it hurts, if you were to hit me, the pain I would feel might be even stronger than yours. So why would you want to use this kind of thing to bully me?” Eder felt a sense of injustice and couldn’t help but explain, his words filled with genuine remorse. “I didn’t mean it. I was just trying to scare you. How could I ever bring myself to really hit you with this?” But Grace was willing to use it to hit him. Not only did she hit him, but she struck him with great Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

force! After striking him, she would proceed to massage the affected area, a combination of punishment and tenderness that left him feeling frustrated but unable to vent his anger. He felt even more wronged, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

Grace maintained a serious expression, her voice firm as she lectured him. “That’s not acceptable either! Did I use it to scare you? What if my heart can’t handle it, and your sudden fierceness scares me so much that I faint? Moreover, isn’t a wife supposed to be cherished and protected?” Eder remained silent, his heart heavy with guilt. She continued, her voice filled with unwavering determination. “A real man should use his abilities to deal with the bad people outside, not to harm his own woman. Such a man is utterly useless. Is that the kind of man you want to be?” Grace’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, waiting for his response. Eder finally admitted his mistake, his voice tinged with remorse. “I was wrong.” “Then, should you be punished tonight?” She asked, her voice stern but with a hint of tenderness. “should,” Eder replied without hesitation. 19:10 The Millenaire Chapter 251 Grace firmly grasped his fingertips once again, picked up the ruler from the side, and struck him. twice in rapid succession, the force unchanged. Eder pressed his lips tightly, watching as the ruler struck his palm relentlessly, turning it pale and quickly causing it to swell, leaving deeper purplish red marks. “With these two strikes, I’m calling out my full name while disciplining you severely. Do you understand and acknowledge it? Grace asked, her voice carrying a mix of seriousness and affection. “I do,” Eder replied, his voice filled with genuine regret. Seeing his sincere attitude, Grace put down the ruler and said. “Stay there, don’t get up.” Then she got up and went to the living room, quickly returning with a tube of anti-inflammatory cream from the

medicine box. She applied the cream to his swollen hand, feeling a slight tingling sensation. Eder let out a soft hiss, “Blow on it…” Grace frowned, her small face looking fierce, “Serves you right! You brought this upon yourself, so bear with it.” Although she said that, she carefully blew cool air, helping to soothe his throbbing and injured palm. While applying the ointment, she couldn’t help but feel curious, “Why did you suddenly gather the courage tonight? Who advised you?” Eder thought for a moment. elder and Grace’s beloved father, so he couldn’t blame Mr. Smith was a him. So he had no choice but to… “It was Eric, he gave me a lousy idea,” Eder straightforwardly shifted the blame to Eric, the foolish guy. He didn’t hold back in criticizing Iric, even recounting word-for-word what Eric had said to him during the day. To his surprise, after listening. Grace didn’t show any intention of punishing Eric. Instead, she seemed to be contemplating something. “Eric has a point. If a man doesn’t listen, he does need proper discipline. But you’ve already. presented the family rules, so I’ll think about setting a few more rules for you during this period. How does that sound?” Eder hung his head, remaining silent, feeling quite miserable inside. He regretted confessing. He had only ended up hurting himself! Without receiving his answer, Grace first used a tissue to wipe off the ointment from her own hand, then used her fingertips to lift his lowered chin. “Cat got your longue?” He didn’t feel too good!

But under the imposing force of Grace’s ruler, he could only respond with a bitter smile, his lips curling, I’ll follow your lead.” Satisfied, Grace nodded, “Alright, I think you’ve confessed enough for now. Let’s forget about tonight’s incident.” He keenly noticed that she said ‘tonight.’ So, she hadn’t begun keeping a record of the past days’ incidents yet? His throat tightened nervously as he anxiously stared at Grace’s delicate face. Seeing his expression, Grace smiled mischievously, gently caressing his check. “Don’t worry, Eder. On this auspicious night. I have a big surprise gift for you. You’ll be amazed! He swallowed hard. “Surprise?” It was almost frightening. Every time she gave him a surprise, it never turned out well. Last time it was the bankruptcy documents, employment contracts, and medication for condition 023. What would it be this time? With a curious gaze fixed on him, Grace got up, opened the wardrobe, and took out a washboard. “Ta-da! In order to match Eder’s status, I specially had this thousand-year-old a rare golden agarwood washboard custom-made! It’s made of solid wood, with a refreshing fragrance, guaranteed to provide the most caring service to Edder’s knees!” Eder looked at the expensive washboard in her hand, his spine stiffened, and his face turned pale. Grace raised an eyebrow and smirked, her voice sweet, “Eder, do o you like it?” He gritted his teeth and nodded, feeling bitter inside. With a heavy tone, he uttered a few words. “Grace, you really do love to ‘hurt’ me.” “Of course,” Grace handed him the washboard, “Here, try it out.” Eder’s trembling fingertips received the expensive custom-made washboard from her. He placed the it on the carpet beside the bed and slowly moved his knees onto it. As soon as he knelt, Eder’s features tightened, and he took a deep breath. Indeed, it was top-quality wood, hard enough! It really hurt… The sharp edges of the washboard pressed against his knees, causing him to invoGracentarily arch his

back. He boldly wrapped his arms around Grace’s legs, burying his face in her lap, softly whimpering. He resembled a wounded and pitiful little creature seeking comfort. Grace gently rubbed the back of his head. Seeing his distressed appearance, she felt a twinge of pity. His injuries had already healed quite a bit, and this was the least physically harmful and most gentle method. If she softened her heart at the first instance, she would have failed, and all her lecturing would have been in vain. With that in mind, she hardened her heart and patted his shoulder. “Who said you could be punished like this? Keep your knees at a 90-degree angle, straighten your back, be obedient! Kneel for 30 minutes before we talk further.”
