Chapter 24 This Is My House


    The next day at noon, Daniel just stepped out of the shower when the door to his room was flung open. Both he and the intruder screamed in unison. Daniel quickly wrapped himself in the nket, covering every inch of himself like a mummy.


    Jessica, cheeks burning red with embarrassment, pointed at him and used, “You… you pervert!”


    “I’m the pervert? I’m bathing in my own room, and


    you burst in! If anyone’s a pervert here, it’s you!”


    “You….. I…..”


    Jessica was at a loss for words but quickly


    collected herself.


    “This is my house, my room. I’lle in if I want to. You’re the pervert – apologize and promise not to do


    it again!”


    Daniel: …


    “Are you going to apologize?”


    Seeing no way out and considering The Sealed


    Dragon Grass, Daniel let out a sigh.


    “Sorry, Honey. I won’t do it again. Next time, I’ll even wear my down jacket in the shower!”


    “That’s yourst warning; don’t call me honey!” Jessica red at Daniel and continued grumpily, What were you doingst night? The security guard said you came backte!”


    “Just out for a stroll.”


    “Where do you go strolling at night?”


    “The bar! So many beautifuldies there!”


    Daniel made up an excuse, not about to reveal that


    Heather had summoned himst night to treat Ryan,


    which led to a night full of brawling. He had taken


    down many contenders and somehow ended up as


    the chairman of the Delvin Hub Martial Club United.


    He also heard about the uing World MartialAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Club United Congress and one of The Seven Dragon Grasses he was seeking, The Grass of Awakened


    Dragon.


    Thinking of The Grass of Awakened Dragon brought a mysterious smile to Daniel’s face.


    Seeing Daniel’s expression after mentioning the bar made Jessica even more upset as if her man had betrayed her.


    “What did you go to the bar for?” she asked.


    “Pick up girls!” Daniel said, deliberately provoking


    her.


    <i>“</i>All men are the same no good! Jerks! Get dressed


    quickly; I’ll wait for you outside.”


    After Daniel got ready, Jessica was already lounging


    on the living room sofa, nonchntly eating Daniel’s


    freshly toasted bread.


    “Making yourself at home, I see?”


    “What, you have a problem with me eating a piece of


    your bread? Cheapskate!”


    A satisfied Jessica pushed the remaining bread at


    Daniel.


    “Here, take it back!”


    “It’s all gone.”


    “What about the crust?”


    Dániel: …


    “What? Not hungry? If not, be my driver from today


    “Where to?”


    “We’re picking up Brittany. Poor thing’s been living in


    that nightmare with the rats and roaches for two


    days. I’m sure she’s learned her lesson. So, when we


    get there, be a gentleman and suggest she move


    out, in front of her.”


    “Why should I?”


    “Because I’m telling you to. I value Brittany’s


    abilities; she’s worked with me for years. No conflict


    between you two – you must get along with her! Do I make myself clear?”


    Daniel nodded, resigned to his new role as Jessica’s driver, confidant, and, now it seemed, peacekeeper.
