Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: This princess-styled bedroom is his?

The hug was so tight she could barely breathe.

He held her as if—

She would vanish if he loosened his hold.

After what felt like forever, Adrian eased his hold but never let her go.

In the darkness, his obsidian eyes sparkled with a hint of something dark yet hopeful.

You should not even think of leaving me again, Elle.

You are not running away.

I will trust you.

In the distance, from a balcony, a phone was pointed towards the couple.

Ji Yan was holding the phone in his hand.

Beside him, Old Madam finally moved away when the couple hugged. She looked at Ronan who was on a video call and then at Ji Yan who was showing the scene to him.

’’Both of you, when were you planning to tell me about this?"

Ji Yan guiltily lowered his head.

"Old Madam, the thing between Ace and Ella is far too complicated,’’ Ronan did not filter his words.

Old Madam sighed, resting her cane lightly on the marble floor. "What you told me about Little Ian’s health—" she hesitated, "—is it related to his emotions too?"

Ronan remained silent, the faint crackle of the video call filling the pause.

"Ella seems like a nice person," Old Madam continued, her brows lightly furrowed. "What trouble can she possibly cause for Ian?"

Ronan and Ji Yan exchanged quiet gazes, seeing the answer in each other’s eyes.

"Moreover, it seems like he cares a lot for her. He even accompanied her through all the meals of the day without a question. Considering his bad eating habits, this is a good sign.’’

Ronan was silent.

Old Madam looked at the man, ’’Tell me honestly about what you think.’’

"It’s true that she has a little impact on him. However, in Ace;s current condition, we cannot decide if it is a good thing or a bad thing to have deep romantic entanglements. If for some reason, he is emotionally burdened tomorrow, then his physical health will also take a hit.’’

Old Madam fell silent for a moment, ’’Ups and downs are a given in any relationship. We cannot prevent Ian from getting in a relationship just to avoid emotional turmoil.’’

When both the men remained silent, Old Madam thought that they agreed with her words.

However, Ronan and Ji Yan exchanged a quiet glance. Only they knew that, with Ella, Adrian’s relationship was not just consisting of ups and downs but rather ’up’—heaven and ’down’—hell.

One wouldn’t be able to tell when one of them died because of the stress caused by the other. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Even though Ella seemed to have changed for good now, given her history, who could be sure about it?

...

Later that night, after dinner, the old madam kept Ella by her side a little longer to talk about her preferences.

’’Old Madam, it’s time for you to sleep." The Butler softly interrupted them.

The old lady sighed, ’’Look at them. I am getting old but they are the ones nagging.’’

’’Grandma, you should rest more and take care of your health first,’’ Ella smiled, ’’If you want to talk, I can always visit you more often. There is no need to ruin your schedule.’’

As Ella smiled, a sharp gaze brushed her from across the room, unnoticed by the old lady, but not by Ella’s quickening heart.

’’Really?" The old lady who had just stood up turned to her. As Ella nodded assuringly, she looked at the Butler, ’’Did you see that?"
