Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3821

'What? It's going to eat me?' Veron paled and panicked. 'I wouldn't have come down if I knew things were going to turn out this way.'

Darryl was beyond happy seeing Veron's expression. 'That girl finally knows the meaning of fear.'

It was right to say that the scaled dragon's sudden rage was entirely an act. Darryl was still furious at Veron for kicking him down the hole, so he planned to use the scaled dragon to teach her a lesson.

"Darryl!" Veron panicked even more when she saw the menacing glint in the scaled dragon's eyes. "You can communicate with it, right? Please tell the dragon not to eat me."

She was reluctant to seek help from Darryl but was left with no choice. In that situation, Darryl was the only one who could help her. Otherwise, she would be eaten by the dragon.

Darryl felt good seeing her beg him for help, but he did not reveal it on his face. Instead, he said indifferently, "Why should I help you when you tried to kill me?"

"I—" Veron bit her lip, not knowing how to answer that. The next second, she put down her pride and bowed her head. "Darryl, I was in the wrong. I was too stubborn. Please forgive me; I beg you."

Darryl pondered for a while, then nodded slowly. "I can't just take you at your word. Why don't you show me just how sorry you are."

The scaled dragon's rage was just an act. He never intended for it to eat Veron; he only wanted to teach her a lesson.

Veron was stunned. She frowned and asked, "How do you want me to show it?"

Darryl scratched his head, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Well, you can call me Uncle, and I'll talk to the dragon for you!"

He thought it would not be too much of a stretch for Veron to call him uncle since she was only a few years older than Ambrose.

'What?' Veron's delicate face suddenly flushed red, and she bit her lip in embarrassment. 'He wants me to call him… Uncle? But I'm the Hidden Heroes Sect's master's daughter! How can he make such a request to someone with a noble status? Calling him Uncle means that he'll be my elder! It's obvious he's trying to take advantage of the situation.'

"Hey, are you going to call me Uncle or not? I won't force you if you're unwilling," Darryl said when he saw her hesitation. He sized her up, admiring her beauty and figure.

Darryl's gaze made Veron blush even fiercer. She bit her lip, and in a small voice, said, "Un... Uncle." Her voice was as soft as a gentle breeze; one would strain one's ears to hear anything at all. Her heart trembled slightly.

Darryl's face broke out in a satisfied smile. However, Darryl still felt that it was not enough, so he stood up and leaned forward. "What's that? Speak up!"

Veron was ashamed and angry. 'D*mn you, Darryl! You are no gentleman at all!'
