The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 898

“Not hero—more like knightly spirit! I’m just trying to be a good person!” he corrected himself hurriedly.

When talking to women, it’s important to choose words carefully; women tend to be sensitive and petty. Even a small phrase can ignite their anger and leave you at a loss for words!

“Do you know what Brittany just told me?” Jessica asked.

Daniel knew what Brittany had mentioned, but he couldn't admit it. So, he quickly shook his head. “No idea!”

After answering, he added, “Whatever she might have told you about me, I won’t agree to it!”

“You dog, I haven’t even said what Brittany told me yet, and you already refuse?” Jessica inquired with a teasing smile.

“I’ve known Brittany long enough to know that none of her requests would benefit me,” Daniel replied, shaking his head with a wary look on his face. “That woman has ulterior motives; she’s definitely up to no good. You can’t agree to anything she proposes, my wife!”

“She claims that because of you, she’s been targeted by those thugs. Therefore, you need to take responsibility!” Jessica stated, maintaining her cheerful demeanor.

“Why should I be responsible? What do I have to take responsibility for?” Daniel rejected vehemently. “I won’t do it! I absolutely refuse to take responsibility!”
