The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 924 Awkward Moments

"Me awkward?"

Isla looked at Daniel suspiciously and asked, "Hick, are you planning something sneaky?"

"If I did anything sneaky to you, even if I could escape your punishment, I wouldn't dare! If I did something to you, my mother-in-law would beat me to a pulp! I'd be stuck drinking soup for the next month!" As soon as he said that, Avery's face darkened.

"Did you just call me old? Do I look that old to you?"

Seeing his mother-in-law angry, Daniel quickly explained with a sheepish grin, "Mom, you're pretty much an old lady at this point, so you can't be mad at me!"

"You little brat! I'll knock you out!"

Avery had no intention of holding back. She grabbed a decorative stick and swatted Daniel with it, making a loud sound.

But because the stick was made from a balloon, even if Avery hit him hard, it didn't hurt one bit.

Still, Daniel had to pretend to be in pain.

"Ah... ahhh..."

He acted in dramatic fashion, grabbing everyone's attention around them.

"Shut up and stop making a fuss!"

Avery scolded, and Daniel promptly zipped his mouth shut.

This son-in-law was quite obedient which made Avery feel a bit better. Still, she thought about how having a son-in-law to punish like this seemed kind of fun.

After all, she only had one daughter in her life.

She had never felt the need to punish Jessica for anything, so over the twenty-plus years, she had missed out on some of the authority that moms should have.

Now that she had this opportunity, she felt the itch to replace a son to discipline.

Daniel was resilient; after being swatted, he wouldn't hold a grudge, and it was kind of entertaining.

This trait was likely Daniel's biggest strength in Avery's eyes, and it was what she liked most about him.

Once it was over, Avery looked at

Isla and suggested, "Isla, you have a

higher status; it wouldn't be

appropriate to get acupuncture in

public Let's replace a private room

instead. I'll stay nearby to make sure

he doesn't do anything weird!"

"Mom, even if you're not around, I wouldn't dare do something weird! I'm a decent guy; I'm always honest! Why would I do anything strange?"

"You better behave! If you do anything weird, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Avery's glare was fiercer than a tiger's.

Isla thought about it and realized Avery was right, so she agreed.

"Getting acupuncture out here is definitely not convenient. Let's go to the inner room."

With that, Isla clacked her high heels and headed to an empty room.
