Corey and Barbara froze.
However, Sheena was now the head of the household, so inviting a friend to stay at their mansion for a couple of days was completely fine..
Since it all depended on Anne’s response, the three of them looked to her.
Facing their gazes, Anne smiled innocently, her face full of anticipation. “Sure, I really like Ms. Lawson’s arrangement. I’d be happy to stay with them.”
Corey remained silent.
Since he spent reading scriptures all night, he had become much calmer than before, lacking the previous
explosive temper.
Barbara politely smiled. “Since you’re Sheena’s friend, we’ll definitely arrange everything. Where is your luggage, Ms. Windsor? I’ll have the bodyguards pick it up.”
“Thank you,” Anne said, moving closer and happily holding her hands. “I don’t have any siblings, but you’re
so friendly. It’s as if you’re my real sister–in–law.”
Feeling a bit uncomfortable with Anne holding her hands, Barbara chuckled awkwardly.
“It’s nothing. If you need anything else these days, just let me know.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Sheena listened quietly as Anne tried to cotton up to Barbara, sipping her third cup of tea.
She kept her gaze fixed on Anne, lost in her thoughts as she drank the tea without really tasting it.
While Anne was engrossed in conversation with Barbara, Sheena suddenly addressed Corey, “Your previous punishment will be moved up to the afternoon, but you can skip the whip. Just kneel in the altar room and read some scriptures to improve your character.”
Corey was taken aback.
Sheena had ordered him to stop his voluntary punishment a long time ago.
Why did she suddenly want him to continue?
He did not understand her intentions, but her cold and distant attitude with each word pricked his heart.
“Okay. You’re the head of the household. I’ll follow your order.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Sheena glanced coldly at the time and commented, “It’s afternoon now. Aren’t you going to the altar
room?”
Corey immediately got up, his back straight, and left the mansion without looking back.
The altar room was in Albert’s old mansion, so Corey had to go there.
Seeing him leave, Anna wanted to follow him and asked, “Where is he going?”
Sheena replied indifferently, “Getting punished. It’s the Lawson family’s business, so you don’t need to follow. Barbara will accompany you for the next couple of days. I’ll go check on him.”
With that, she got up and left the mansion.
Once cutside, Sheena called over George, the butler left to watch over Albert’s old mansion.
“Miss, what are your orders?”
Sheena glanced at the altar room as she calmly arranged, “Uncle George, keep an eye on the altar room. these days. If Corey goes in to read scriptures, you stay outside. If anyone other than Barbara comes by, immediately call me and report everything.”
“Yes, Miss, you can count on me.”
“Good,” Sheena reminded him, “Don’t be too obvious. Try not to be noticed by others.”
“Understood.”
With the arrangements made, Sheena turned and left.
As she passed by the altar room, she deliberately stopped.
Corey’s hoarse recitation could be heard clearly.
She could not quite describe the feeling in her heart. It was a bit complicated.
After listening quietly for a while, she turned and walked away.
