Theodore had already hidden the phone in advance. When Amelia Linton asked for the phone again, she realized that her phone was no longer in his hand.
"Where did you put my phone? Hurry up and give it to me, I need to call your older brother." Amelia leaned over to check, but didn't see her phone on the other side of Theodore, then straightened up and looked at him, "You rascal! Where's my phone?"
While asking, she raised her hand and gave his leg a slap, not purposely holding back her strength, just acting on instinct.
As for how hard she hit, she didn't know either. Only the one getting slapped could feel it.
Amelia's move was quite sudden, and the unprepared Theodore didn't have time to dodge. Her hand came down firmly on his leg, and he took the hit firmly.
"Mom! Why did you hit me? I'm your most adorable, most considerate son." He howled dramatically, but it actually didn't hurt much.
"Amelia Linton! Stop that!"
