The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 901 No Yelling

Avery seemed to have only one trick up her sleeve, and that was to break Daniel's legs.

"Mom, you've already broken my legs so many times. Medical bills aren't cheap, you know? So maybe next time, when you hit me, don't break my legs. You'd save yourself a lot of trouble and effort," Daniel said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Now that you're calling me Mom, isn't it only right for me to hit you?" Avery shot back. "If you keep calling me Mom, I'll treat you like my son! I'll smack you when I feel like it, I'll hit you when I'm unhappy, and I'll hit you when I'm annoyed!"
