Iris would have planned to tell Catherine that Sean still loved Pearl, but she failed.

"Is it true love? Brother is always with her and cares about her whatever happens," Iris thought to herself. Whenever Iris recalled the day when Sean performed CPR on Catherine, she was astonished.

​​

"Pearl, come on. Think about it. Probably, brother mistook Catherine for you and saved her."

Pearl looked down and said, "Iris, forget it."

Pearl didn't want to deceive herself. It was so pitiful if she tried to explain it.

"If Sean cares about me, he wouldn't save Catherine when he found her," Pearl thought to herself. She regretted having a bet with Catherine, "I got hurt. It is so hard."

"It is Catherine's fault. She is too cunning."

Pearl went black and felt hopeless.

"I lost," Pearl thought to herself.

"Do you wake up?"

As soon as Catherine opened her eyes, she saw Sean. His cold and worried expression made Catherine guilty and embarrassed.

Catherine couldn't help but lowered her head and looked down.

"Ahem."

Sean immediately patted her back and asked, "How do you feel? Uncomfortable?"

"Not good enough."

"You deserve it."

Catherine was speechless and thought to herself, "He already knew everything. He has a sharp eye."

"Would you like to take a shower first?" suggested Catherine.

Sean used to be tidy and clean, but now, Catherine was surprised. Sean looked terrible. There were some marks of mud on his shirt, hair, and face.

"It is your fault!"

"It seems that Sean is furious. Alas, he won't forgive me easily," Catherine thought to herself.

"Yes. It is me. It is my fault. You made yourself terrible because of me. I am sorry."

"Sorry is not enough"

Catherine lowered her head and made an apology, "Yes, it is my fault."

"Don't say sorry to me."

"I have to say. If I don't say it, I will feel guilt," Catherine thought to herself.

Catherine's dress had turned yellow. Looking at it, Catherine thought to herself. "What a pity! It is a good dress."

"Change into clean clothes first. Then you can scold me if you want."

Sean was furious. He needed to vent his feelings.

Leydon gave the clean clothes to Sean.

Luckily, Catherine had a similar figure with Clara, so Catherine had clean clothes too.

"You can ask me whatever you need."

"Good enough."

Leydon nodded. He felt uncomfortable too. So, he went back to his bedroom and changed his clothes too.

Sean glared at Catherine, who looked innocent and submissive. At last, Sean said, "Take a shower now."

"All right."

Then, Catherine immediately brought her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Looking at Catherine from behind, Sean became worried and sad.

While Catherine washed off the mud on her body, she recalled everything and couldn't help but smile.

Catherine thought to herself, "Pearl set a trap for me and accused me of pushing her. But it turned out to be a trap for her.

Pearl wanted to pretend that I pushed her into the pond and asked for Sean's help. But I happened to fall into the pond when Pearl went into the pond.

I think Pearl can swim. Otherwise, she wouldn't let her friends push her into the pond. Although I can swim too, I am not good at swimming.

I pretended that I couldn't swim and waited for Sean to save me though I was worried whether Sean would save me first. You know, he needed to choose between Pearl and me."

Catherine changed into clean clothes. While she was walking out of the bathroom, she was wiping her hair. Sean was standing at the door, waiting for her.

Sean also took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

"Leydon's clothes are quite suitable for you. You are similar in the figure."

Sean raised his head and looked at Catherine.

Since Catherine just took a shower, her face turned pink. With Clara's dress, her long and slender legs showed, and her waist looked beautiful too.

Catherine looked in the mirror to ensure there was nothing wrong and then asked, "Um? What's wrong? Why do you keep your eyes on me?"

Clara was taller than Catherine, so the dress was a little longer for her, covering her knees.

"Come over."

"Well," answered Catherine. She walked to Sean step by step without hesitation.

Although there were about three meters between them, Catherine was anxious, as if she were walking on the edge of the cliff. She felt her heart was about to explode.

"Sit down."

Catherine sat down next to Sean and carefully observed his expression.

Sean looked as if nothing happened.

"Sean looks cold. Is he angry?" Catherine thought to herself.

"Down."

"What?"

Sean pointed to his knees and ordered, "Here. Down."

"Well…"

Sean looked cold, which made Catherine terrified, and she got down quickly.

Catherine didn't know what Sean was going to do.

Sean held her waist and spanked.

Soon, Catherine's face turned red, and she thought to herself, "Oh my god. He spanked me. and I can't believe I just made a good posture for him."

"Don't spank."

"Don't do that again, ok? You know you made a mistake?"

Catherine said nothing, so Sean spanked her bottom again.

"Okay. Okay. It is my fault."

"What should you do then?"

Catherine didn't answer again.

Sean spanked her bottom hard.

Catherine gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "I haven't been beaten like this before. The posture gives me a sense of shame."

"I don't know," answered Catherine.

Sean was not satisfied, and he spanked her bottom again and again.

Catherine cried a lot and thought to herself, "I am not a child."

"You don't know?" asked Sean.

No one dares to answer Sean in this way.

Sean thought to himself, "She is so arrogant."

Catherine covered her bottom with both hands and asked, "Could you please tell me what I have done wrong?"

Sean got Catherine's hands and spanked her again.

Catherine felt her face hotter.

"Don't you know what you have done wrong?"

"I don't know, really. You can tell me."

Sean was so angry that his face turned purple. He thought to himself, "She made a mistake, but she was so arrogant. I should give her a lesson."

"Why did you go to the lotus pond? You should stay in your bedroom and have a rest. Do you have too much free time?"

"No. But enough time for sleep."
