The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 538

Given Wyatt frequently skipped classes in college, there were many classmates he did not recognize, so it was not a surprise that he couldn't place Daniel.

"Which classmate are you, please?" Wyatt directly inquired upon failing to remember him.

"I’m Daniel!" Daniel answered with a grin.

"Daniel?" Wyatt scratched his head, wracking his brain to remember, but he came up empty. Daniel’s face and name were unfamiliar to him.

Wyatt turned to Jessica, bewildered, "Jessica, I never saw you this close with any male classmate. Was Daniel in our class?"

"He wasn't in our class; he's my boyfriend," Jessica introduced, opting to describe Daniel as her boyfriend rather than husband to avoid complications. If their classmates learned she was married without having invited them to the wedding, it wouldn't sound good. Labeling Daniel as her boyfriend would make things simpler.

Jessica’s main reason for bringing Daniel was to signal to her male classmates that she was taken and to back off.

Jessica’s revelation caught Wyatt completely off guard. He sized up Daniel and noticed his rural appearance; his entire outfit didn’t even look worth a hundred bucks. How could such a guy be Jessica’s boyfriend?

As a shrewd individual, Wyatt refused to believe it. He figured Jessica claimed Daniel was her boyfriend as a ruse to deflect other classmates' advances.

To confirm his speculation, Wyatt asked Daniel, "Where do you work, brother?"

"I’m an assistant for a boss."
