Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1893

Holding Noelle’s delicate fingertips, Cyrus delivered a solemn judgment in his resonant voice.

“You were wrong nine times tonight.

I will hit you nine times as reminders.

”

What?

The punishment was hitting her palm?

Noelle was an adult.

How could he apply a disciplinary practice meant for wayward children to her?

While Noelle pondered, Cyrus raised his hand, using it as a tool for punishment and hit her palm.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

The resounding sound of their palms meeting echoed through the room.

Noelle had thought the pain wouldn’t be severe, but her palm continued to burn after each strike.

“It hurts.

Cyrus, go easy,” Noelle pleaded.

Trying to retract her hand, she found her fingertips firmly held by Cyrus.

She could only watch as her palm endured the punishment.

Cyrus, bearing his own discomfort, asserted, “If you persist in not learning, I’ll continue using my hand for correction.

It’ll be due to my inadequate guidance, and I’ll share the pain with you.

”

Upon hearing this, Noelle ceased her resistance.

Cyrus quickly gave her all nine strikes.

This caused both their palms to turn bright red.

Cyrus’s hits weren’t forceful.

The last couple of slaps were more of finesse.

Although they produced a loud sound, the impact rebounded onto his own hand, making his pain surpass NoeLle’s.

He aimed more to scare her a bit than to punish her severely.

After the punishment, Cyrus gently clasped Noelle’s hand, soothing her warm palm with tender strokes.

“Does it hurt?” he inquired.

Noelle frowned.

“Yes, Cyrus, it hurts.

Are you okay?”

He leaned in and ki*sed her palm.

“I’m fine.

Noelle, if you’re hurting, make a commitment to study diligently and achieve your goal.

Ace the exam this year, alright?”

Cyrus’ tenderness stirred a gentle pulse in Noelle’s heart.

She nodded slowly and replied, “I understand, I’ll put in the effort.

”

“Now, can we return to the room and get some rest? I promise I won’t overstep, just trust me this time, alright?” Cyrus reassured.
