The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 334

"He won't take you away from me; don't worry," Jessica assured her. In her mind, she was resolved not to accept Smart's proposal, no matter what. She would rather die than marry Smart.

"Even if he can't take you away, I still need to go! It's a competition between men; how could I push you to the forefront while I hide behind? Would I still be a man then?"

"You..." Jessica was trying to do what was best for him, but this stubborn idiot wouldn't give in. She decided not to press him anymore. As long as she didn't divorce Daniel, by all accounts, he was her husband.

Smart would eventually have to find out; she couldn't hide the truth forever. Instead of trying to conceal it, she thought she might as well be proactive.

"I've got an idea," she announced.

"You've got one? We haven't done anything! How could you be...? Are you telling me you've been unfaithful? For god's sake! I married such a beautiful wife and haven’t touched a hair on your head, and now you're having someone else’s child?"

"What are you yelling about? Me having a child? I'm still a virgin; how could I possibly have a child!"

Jessica retorted irritably.

"You're not pregnant? Then what is it?"

"I have an idea!"

"What idea?"

"It’s about taking you back to New York, making sure you get through without being killed by Smart."

"Killed by him? I’m like a cat with nine lives; he won't be able to touch me. If that idiot dares to come at me, I'll make sure I take him down first!"

"You’re not allowed!"
