Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: He is such a good princess

Esther’s smile stiffened, "I know of all your sacrifices and I thought this was your only chance to get together with Max. So, although there were risks involved, I still sent him there. I never expected things to turn out like this. Sis... From what you are saying, did Mr. King hurt you?"

Ella paused and then shook her head.

The light in Esther’s eyes dimmed, ’’Don’t worry, sis. With me around, nothing will happen to you. In the days to come, I will surely make it up to you!" She turned to the side, ’’Mommy is calling me for dinner. Bye, sis!"

When the call was disconnected, the confusion on Ella’s face gradually dispersed and it was replaced by stark coldness.

Such a deliberate show of family affection... In her previous life, she would have been touched that her sister was still thinking of her while being envious of the familial love that seemed to be out of her reach.

Esther knew where to cut so that it would hurt deeply. She just did not know that Ella was no longer as gullible to not see through her intent.

The chill of the night seemed to sink into her bones, making her shiver a little.

Not wanting to linger in the garden any further, Ella checked on Riri again. Seeing that he was sleeping in peace, she retreated to her room.

She had her plans set for the night. First, she would take a long and warm bath, do her skincare and then go to bed.

As she stepped into the bathtub, the warmth of the water relaxed her nerves. Ella squeezed a lot of body wash in her palm before she lathered it across her body.

Water gushed. Stream billowed. Somewhere behind the fogged up glass, a legend performed.

In no time, Ella’s voice boomed across the bathroom as the notes of her songs floated in the air.

’I don’t need a man eh, I need a mirror—

To watch myself shimmer clearer~

Gave the sun a complex today,

Told it to move cause baby, I light the way!

Ooh lala, I don’t need a man eh~

Just give me the damn mirror~

Lala~ La~’

Donned in a bathrobe, Ella stepped out of the bathroom, still humming and twirling.

But the moment the door opened, a cold blast of her air hit her face.

Her body, still warm from the bath, suddenly froze up.

Ehh?

Ella slowly looked up and her heart rose to her chest.

On the King-sized bed in her room, a certain King was seated.

Leaning back on the headboard of the bed, Adrian sat there, dressed in a black satin robe that revealed his pectoral muscles. His dark hair was a little tousled and his eyes resembled the midnight shade, dark and dangerous.

As for Adrian’s face? It was frosty. Beautiful yet chilling.

Ella’s hand that was still resting on the doorknob twitched, the urge to run out of his sight was strong.

And she instinctively took a step back.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped even further, making it hard to breathe.

Ella blinked and inhaled a breath, "Baby, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Ella took off her bathroom slippers and shook her feet as if they were slippery and they had made her retreat earlier.

"Not long." The man’s words were crisp and concise as ever.
