The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 355

Caught up in the moment, Aiden let something slip from her subconscious. With a light kick of her high heel, she unintentionally revealed more than she intended to Daniel.

Daniel looked at her, feigning shock, "Why would I be responsible for raising your kids? I'm not about to be a stepfather to eight kids, no way!"

"You... I ought to kick you to death!" Aiden was so annoyed that she landed another kick on Daniel.

Brittany, having had enough of the scene, placed her hands on her hips and scolded indignantly, "In broad daylight, manhandling a man like that, have you no shame?"

"Brittany, are you jealous? Or is it jealousy? Daniel's not your man; he is my friend. Me hitting him has nothing to do with you!" Aiden retorted, never one to let herself be outdone verbally.

Brittany didn't want to keep arguing with Aiden over a country boy. It wasn't worth it. So, she turned to Daniel and spat, "Shameless!"

Daniel chose not to engage with either of them, knowing that taking sides wouldn't end well. So, he went on to open the vodka bottles and poured all twelve into the stainless steel basin.

Next, he started scrubbing the herbs as if washing clothes, leaving Aiden looking on in bemusement.

"Daniel, are you doing laundry? I know these are discarded herbs, but they are still herbs! Washing them like that will ruin them! And to think you wasted twelve bottles of vodka on worthless herbs—it's such a pity!"

"If you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to just keep quiet and watch," Daniel retorted shortly.

Aiden immediately bristled at his tone. "Are you snapping at me?"

With that, she kicked Daniel's behind so hard that he almost fell face-first into the basin.

Regaining his balance, Daniel turned and asked incredulously, "Did you just kick me?"
