Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: She was ignoring him

"You are telling me... they are my great grandchildren?" Old Madam King looked at the puppy and kitten nestled against each other on the corner of the couch.

"Second Master was referring to Young Master Riri and Young Miss Lala when he talked about children," Ji Yan stepped forward to clarify, ’’Earlier when we reached here, both of them had fled to the garden to play so they had to be caught and brought here by the servants."

"Is that true?" Old Madam looked at Ella this time.

Ella nodded, her expressions were a little complicated.

Adrian’s gaze lingered on her.

Old Madam sighed and leaned back on the couch.

The butler came to support her but she dismissed him.

In her heart, she felt a little regretful but when she saw the pair of puppy and kitten, her mood lightened.

Soon, lunch was served.

The atmosphere around the dining table was lively due to Riri and Lala playing around. And Old Madam King also pampered them.

The chef was ordered to prepare exquisite food for each of them.

However, Ella avoided Adrian’s gaze.

And Adrian’s face had gradually turned into a pitchy shade of black.

These little details did not go unnoticed by Ji Yan who was standing at a corner from where he could capture everything.

"Little Ella, do you permanently live in the dorms or do you go back to your parents often?" The old lady’s voice held more warmth towards Ella.

"I mostly stay in the dorms, Grandma.’’

"Do you parents know about and Ian? Though young hearts rarely wait for permission, I imagine they must have thoughts regarding you having a boyfriend."

Adrian’s eyes narrowed.

"_" Ji Yan dabbed his flowery handkerchief on his forehead. Old Madam, if she said that her parents don’t allow her to have a boyfriend, do you think the Second Master would break up with her?

He felt like the Old Lady somehow managed to hit her grandson’s sore spots every time?

Ella paused, "My parents don’t know about us but they are open-minded people. I believe that when I tell them, they will accept our relationship."

"Have they ever spoken to you about your marriage?" The Old Madam probed softly.

Ella blinked innocently, "Grandma, my parents probably haven’t given it a thought, thinking I am too young for marriage."

Adrian’s face darkened.

Ji Yan: "_" Miss Yu, aren’t you suggesting that the Second Master is a hooligan for marrying you back then?!

"That’s true. That’s true. You are in university right now. It’s no age for marriage. There is no rush for it," Old Madam King showed her agreement.

Icicles spread throughout Ji Yan’s skin as one old woman and one young woman talked freely, completely ignoring the sulky devil prince sitting with them.

Just as Ji Yan felt like this conversation was getting out of hand, Old Madam spoke up again, "Ian is no the easiest man to grow close to. How did you first come to know him?"

Ella choked on the shrimp she had put in her mouth, "Cough... Cough..."

Suddenly, a glass of water appeared near her lips and a comforting palm settled on her back, "Careful," a deep voice sounded by her ears.

Old Madam who was motioning the butler to pour water for Ella halted in her movements.

Ella took a few sips of water and patted her chest gently, "Sorry..."

"Eat slowly. Be careful," Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Adrian took Ella’s plate.

In no time, the shrimps were neatly cut into tiny pieces with the help of a fork. Then, the plate was placed in front of Ella again.

"_"

Ella gave him a look.

Seeing that she finally looked at him, Adrian’s complexion seemed better. His eyes twinkled.

Ella was speechless. Hello, sir, I am not flirting with you!
