The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 899

Daniel’s refusal prompted Jessica to make a decision, but he remained resolute, shaking his head. “I’m not doing it!”

“I said you have to! You don’t get a choice! If you dare refuse, watch out for my punishment!”

“I don’t want to live with Brittany; I want to live with you! If I’m going to stay in the dorm, it’s not out of the question, but you must move in too. We can share a room!”

“There’s no way I’m sharing a room with you!”

Jessica paused, considering, “As for moving into the dorm, it’s not entirely off the table. After all, it’s a three-bedroom apartment; I could visit occasionally.”

While Jessica generally trusted Daniel and Brittany’s interactions, the thought of having her husband share a space with another woman made her uncomfortable. It felt somewhat like her most treasured toy being played with by another girl.

Suddenly, the office door swung open with a loud bang.

Daniel had closed the door but hadn’t locked it, so if someone barged in unceremoniously, it could be opened easily.

Walking in was a woman in a high-slit dress, strutting in high heels—none other than Avery, Jessica’s mother.

As soon as Avery entered, she spotted her daughter sitting on Daniel’s lap, with her arm wrapped around his neck.

The overly intimate scene made Avery avert her gaze immediately.

“What on earth are you two doing in broad daylight in the office? Get a room!”

After scolding them, Avery continued, “Are you two done yet? I’m about to turn around. This is scandalous!”

“We're done!”
