The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 330

"It was a fake marriage! It doesn't count!" Jessica quickly explained.

"Fake marriage? Are you trying to play me? Look, I'm a virgin, and I won't be played with. If you say it's fake, then let's go get a divorce. I don’t want any part of this fake marriage!"

"Keep messing around, and I'll wallop you!"

Jessica was fuming – why couldn’t this idiot just follow along? She had no intention of divorcing him!

But, in a way, Daniel’s antics meant she didn’t have to explain to her mother that they were already married with a certification.

Their exchange shocked Avery once again. This country boy had suggested divorce several times, yet her daughter refused?

Also, the way her daughter looked at this rustic fellow was noticeably unusual; there seemed to be genuine affection between them. Could it be that Jessica had truly fallen for this country boy? That would be absolutely unacceptable! Her daughter was meant to marry into the Evans family, to unite two powerful families!

Avery’s face darkened as she rebuked Daniel sternly, "You country bumpkin, you’re from the countryside, aren’t you? You think you can marry my daughter with your worthless rural background? Impossible! You two must get a divorce. Your marriage pact doesn't count; your marriage doesn't count! You must get an annulment tomorrow!"

"Avery, I married Jessica, not you. So, it doesn't matter if you ask me to divorce; we can’t just separate on a whim. Whether Jessica and I choose to divorce is her decision. If she doesn’t agree, your persistence is futile," Daniel retorted.

Daniel’s line of reasoning made Jessica so mad she nearly smoked in anger.
