The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 899 Mother-in-Law

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.
