The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 388 Uninvited Guest

"You dare talk back? I'll beat you to death, you little jerk!" Jessica, half amused and half infuriated by Daniel's stark words, raised her hand and started hitting him once more. Beauty, lying in bed, couldn’t bear to watch the two flirt in such a manner.

"Are you two quite finished with your flirting? Don't you see a sick person right here? I'm barely recovering, and you're adding to my trauma with your antics; do you even care?"

"You could try flirting with a man in front of me, too!" Jessica retorted with a grin.

"Find a man? Why bother when I could just steal your country boy? It’d save me the trouble. After all, your mom clearly doesn't fancy him and sent me to break you two up. Maybe I'll just be his mistress?"

Beauty made the suggestive remark intentionally, hoping to stir up trouble between Jessica and Daniel. No woman would tolerate her man entangled with her cousin, after all.

Jessica's face darkened at Beauty's overstepping joke, warning, "Beauty, don't take your jokes too far."

"Oh, you're taking me seriously now? As if I'd fancy a country boy. That said, I won't give up since I've accepted my aunt's request. I must ensure you two split before grandpa's 80th birthday celebration."

"My marriage isn't your concern, Beauty."

"I don’t wish to interfere, but your mother assigned me this task. If you're unhappy, take it up with her. Get her to call off the request, and I’ll step back."

"Enough," Jessica turned to leave.

Spotting Daniel still lingering in the room, Jessica snapped, "Idiot, what are you still doing here?"

"I’m not doing anything!"

"Then get out now!"

"Why be so harsh?"

"You dare call me harsh?"
