Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Appreciating art

Yesterday...

''There is something I want to ask you for!" Ella declared.

Adrian grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in.

Ella's breath hitched.

The man placed a soft kiss on her lips before he hugged her, ''Mm...''

And in no time, his breathing pattern was even.

''Are you... asleep...?" She did not dare to believe her own words.

She wanted to shake him some more but the diligent assistant who had given them some space during the kiss quickly jumped back in the scene.

''Boss hasn't slept in days. Three days ago, he barely slept for an hour before going on a business trip. He is only functioning normally because of medications...'' Ji Yan spoke in a voice that was even smaller than a whisper.

...

As Ella looked at the sleeping man, she knew that yesterday, his assistant was also thinking in the same direction as her.

This guy probably collapsed due to exhaustion.

Ella did not realize when she also dozed off in the living room in that uncomfortable hugging position.

When she was stirred awake at midnight, she was floating in the air. After a moment, she realized that Adrian was carrying her.

He probably carried her all the way to the master bedroom and they continued sleeping like sleepyheads.

In fact, things were the same in her previous life.

Adrian suffered from severe sleeping disorders, not just insomnia.

There was one time she had entered his room to pick a fight in her previous life and the scene she witnessed had left her shivering for days.

He was screaming and snarling like that of a wounded beast and she thought he had gone mad. Until she noticed that he had his eyes closed.

She then thought he was having a nightmare. But then the blanket lifted and she saw that his hands were cuffed.

And back then, she was even more determined to stay away from this dangerous man.

She had seen his doctors and therapists and over the time during her stay, she realized that he really did not suffer from insomnia.

His issues were not limited to not being able to fall asleep. He could not fall asleep during normal days but when he slept, he could not get up easily.

If he got up, he would be like a terrifying beast, plagued by nightmares. And when he fell sick.... things were even worse.

Ella sighed and slumped back on the pillow, slowly tilting her head to the side so that the man's face finally moved away from the crook of her neck.

Looking at his heavenly features, her fingers twitched a little. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Art should be appreciated.

Convincing herself of her morality, she raised her hand and gently stroked his striking jawline, his long eyelashes, his pale face...

A man who seemed to have the world at his feet... Why would he suffer like this?

''Why...?"

The word unconsciously slipped past her mouth.

Suddenly, she froze.

The sleeping beauty who was being fondled by her fingers moved.
