Annie didn't even spare him another glance. Instead, she immediately turned toward Gwen.
Her previously furious expression softened considerably. "Are you alright?"
The gentle concern in Annie's voice completely caught Gwen off guard. She subconsciously nodded.
"...I'm fine."
She hesitated briefly before lowering her voice. "But won't you get into trouble because of this?"
Annie blinked before suddenly laughing.
"So, that's why you were quietly enduring it? I was wondering why my little troublemaker had suddenly become so obedient."
Gwen immediately puffed up her cheeks. "Don't call me a troublemaker!"
She pointed accusingly at Annie.
"If you keep saying things like that... I'll slap you again."
Annie laughed even harder.
"Oh? Go ahead. I'd like to see you try. If you do... I'll drag you home and give you the spanking you deserve."
The moment those words left Annie's mouth, she suddenly realized what she had just said.
