Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: He is protecting her openly

"Daddy, with me here, what could possibly go wrong? You can rest assured... Yes, when I meet Ace, I will let him know you were thinking of him."

Lilith sat in the backseat, legs elegantly crossed, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers as she spoke into her Bluetooth earpiece.

Her eyes wandered to the driver’s seat. "Did you look for the thing I asked you to?"

Eli passed her an iPad. "These are all the dogs I shortlisted. None come close to the one we lost, but..."

"Inferior," she said, frowning at the photos before tossing the tablet aside. "That auction dog was perfect. It couldn’t have just disappeared."

"Maybe someone took it in." Eli glanced at her through the rear-view mirror.

Lilith glanced at the shortlisted pets and threw the iPad to the backseat, "I cannot gift the Old Madam these inferior things. She is Ace’s grandmother, afterall. Keep looking for it."

’’Alright... Oh, later, I won’t be able to accompany you to the Kings’ Main Mansion..."

Lilith raised an eyebrow.

’’As your advisor and assistant, I have a lot of duties on my shoulders, Lilith. You can’t just be upset about my absence now,’’ The man said without looking at her, ’’If you feel that uncomfortable, you don’t need to go there.’’

Lilith smiled, "Uncomfortable?I am family to them. Ace is busy all the time, it is only right for me to spend more time with his grandparents..."

...

Even until the car stopped in front of the main mansion, Ella found it surreal.

When she received a text from Ji Yan, she had imagined a trail of cars and a horde of men in black standing outside the campus, ready to drag her back to the Eve Mansion because she was missing in action last night and Adrian went feral again.

But when she stepped inside the car, Adrian was sitting there like a fresh black wildflower. On each side, he had a little creature.

Lala and Riri were wearing black bows that matched Adrian’s all black suit.

Ella felt like she was seeing things.

When Adrian looked at her, she was ready to take God’s name and make vows of loyalty.

But the man did not give her the chance.

He raised his hand, tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and uttered ’Beautiful’.

Mind her, she was wearing the most casual oversized black hoodie. She barely had any makeup on.

From Ji Yan’s gaze, Ella knew the four of them, two humans and two animals, dressed in black looked like a family attending a funeral.

Yet, she couldn’t care less about it when she had different thoughts floating in her head.

How could Adrian King be so calm?

It was true that Ella had completely forgotten that they were visiting the main mansion today.

Then, was he perhaps saving his anger for later?

Ella kept peeking at Adrian till they reached the main mansion and she realized that the man really, did not seem to be angry at all.

She did not respond to his text for an entire night, and he was neither angry nor paranoid?

Was he perhaps thinking of ways to torment her?

Ella got a layer of goosebumps.
