The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 462

Daniel had no idea why Jessica would visit his room in the middle of the night, so he made an offhand remark.

"If it was just you, honey, I'd have a guess as to why you're here. But you brought Beauty along, so I wouldn't dare speculate. That thought might be just a little too bold."

Jessica sensed something off in his response and shot back with a scowl, "Too bold? Where exactly are your thoughts going?"

"Of course, towards happiness! Isn't that what life's all about?"

"Happiness? You idiot, what joy are you seeking? I'll beat you to death, see if you're still happy then."

As she spoke, Jessica pinned Daniel to the bed to give him a piece of her mind. In front of Beauty, it felt like she was asserting her territory.

Daniel cried out as Jessica dealt with him, rolling around, but his hands were far from idle, managing to sneak in a few successful attacks.

Jessica, of course, didn't mind. It wasn't the first time this idiot had taken his liberties with her. No, that's not right—since they were married, his actions were legal, not taking advantage.

"Have you had enough?"

"A lifetime wouldn't be enough."

"Idiot! You're incorrigible!"

After scolding Daniel, Jessica said with irritation, "I came here because there's something I need to clear up with you."

Seeing Jessica get serious, Daniel asked curiously, "What's that?"

"Are you planning to cause trouble at Elliot's birthday banquet?"

But if he doesn't, I'll have no choice but to ask him to fulfill the bet at the birthday event! The Evans may have their power, but I have my principles. I'm not afraid to offend The Evans for the sake of my principles!"

Daniel was confident. No matter how powerful or influential The Evans were, he wasn't afraid of them. In this entire world, there was no one whom Daniel feared!

If anyone dared provoke him, he would respond in kind, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

Jessica knew it was useless to talk further since he wouldn't listen to her. Annoyed, she grabbed his ear, demanding, "Idiot, are you going to listen to me?"

"Ow! Ow! Honey, that hurts! My ear's about to come off, can you be gentler?"

"Are you going to obey or not? If you won’t listen, there's no point in having ears; I might as well twist them off!"

"I'll listen! I'll listen! I always listen to you, honey!"
