The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 362 The Secret

Aiden fell deep into thought. Her grandmother had arranged a marriage for her, and although Aiden didn't know the man's name, her grandmother had told her on her deathbed that the man would appear in Herbal Loon and would make Aiden suffer heavy losses. Her grandmother’s last wish was for Aiden to marry the man who kept making her lose because only by marrying him could she recover her losses.

Daniel, for his part, was unaware that Aiden was one of his betrothed. While he had nine marriage contracts, some had been damaged by mice and were now incomplete.

He didn't know the name of each of his fiances. As for Aiden's contract, he wasn't even aware of her family name. The only clue he had was a single word from the damaged marriage contract —“Herbal,” aligning with "Herbal" from Herbal Loon. The rest had been chewed away by mice.

Daniel reached for a black item, like a piece of wood, from the bottom row of the shelf. Holding it up in front of Aiden, he cheekily said, "I'll take this one, Aiden."

"This one?"

Aiden almost laughed out loud; the item was no herb but an old tree root that at best Daniel could use as firewood.

"You don't like my choice, Aiden?"

"Why wouldn't I? A bet is a bet! If you want it, take it! It's just an old root; it's worthless."

"Aiden, you really do have a problem with your eyes!"

"Dare to call me blind? I'll kill you!"

Aiden snatched the old root from Daniel and swung it heavily toward his thigh. However, she accidentally aimed slightly higher, and it struck Daniel's backside with a loud smack.

Brittany was stunned!

Daniel was taken aback.
