Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Why is he being so quiet these days?

Soon, another text came from Ruby: [My mother has been a little unwell lately so I am taking care of her.]

[Rest is fine.]

Ella’s body relaxed slightly. Her fingers quickly typed a reply: [Take care of yourself and Auntie. If there is any problem, text me.]

After Ella sent the message, Ruby was still typing.

Ella waited yet no text appeared. After a few long minutes, two small words greeted her sight.

Ruby: [Thank you.]

Those words were concise, mirroring the way Ruby spoke.

But Ella figured that she was thanking her for taking the blame for this entire incident. Because it made it seem like she did it for Max, and hence, Max was held responsible for everything that happened.

After knowing that Ruby was safe and she was not blamed for the whole incident, Ella could finally put her mind at ease and focus on her studies.

On the third day, it started drizzling all over Vermilion City and news of an upcoming torrential downpour did rounds everywhere.

The university declared a 2-day holiday to give the students time to prepare for the upcoming exams.

Initially, Ella was faring well but in the back of her mind, there was a nagging thought constantly bothering her.

On the third day, Ella finally checked her last text exchange with Adrian.

It was 3 days ago when he had sent her a picture of himself and she had responded with a mushy text.

Ella could not put two and two together.

She had not reached out to him because the day they went out for dinner, she had already convinced him that she would need her space to prepare for exams.

It almost left a nagging suspicion in her mind. Could it be possible that she was in some new trouble?

Ella dismissed the thought as quickly as it came.

Ever since the confrontation with Esther in the campus, she did not hear from Esther directly.

And right now, Esther had directly or indirectly offended a lot of people so she would not have time to stir up troubles for her.

And just like that, her thoughts circled back to the silence.

If it was neither this nor that, then why was Adrian so quiet these days?

Holding the phone in her hand, Ella put her book aside and slumped on the bed.

A wild notion formed in her mind.

Could it be... he took her words from before seriously and was giving her space now?

Back then, she had taken a lot of effort to convince him and he had barely agreed. Did he actually go along with her wishes?

Ella felt like her seven worldviews were shaken.

After pondering over it for a moment, she decided that it was time to check on Mr. King and get some recent updates of his situation.

But just as her fingers had started typing—

’Riiing!’

Startled, she jumped. Her phone slipped and smacked her nose.

"Miss Yu... Miss Yu...’’

The call was put on the speaker accidentally and hearing her panting, Bertha’s panicky voice rang.

Gently rubbing her nose, Ella slowly picked up the phone and noticed that it was a call from the Eve Mansion.

"Miss Yu, where are you? Who are you with? Why are you panting?"

Ella had just managed to sit up on the bed but she nearly plopped back again when she heard that.

"_" Was her character that questionable?

Before Bertha could continue spiralling, Ella spoke up, ’’I am in the girls hostel, Bertha. And I can assure you that not every man can sneak in here, unlike your Second Master."

The person on the other side seemed to have gone speechless by the revelation that their second master snuck into the girl’s hostel.

Satisfied with her reaction, Ella massaged her nose that she doubted was broken, "What’s up, Bertha? Did you miss me too much?"

"Ah, Miss Yu, it’s not that..."

"_" Quite straightforward you are.

Her father.
