"She messed up, and punishment's fair game. Let's head back. I can see you're not keen on this surprise; I'll get you another one." "I don't want another surprise. Just... let her stand up,” Karen said, her voice tinged with sympathy for Paige.

Jeffrey peered into her eyes, gauging her sincerity.

With a smile, he nodded. "Alright, then. She doesn't have to kneel." He turned his head, casting a cold glance at Paige. "You can go now." Paige blinked, stunned. "But... my parents..." Jeffrey's arm tightened around Karen's waist. "My wife said it's a special day; we got our marriage license. I'm in a good mood, so I'll let your family off the hook."
