Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: He once had a little dove

"He has a girlfriend?"

Lilith leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes, her posture graceful.

"You seem calm about it," Eli turned to look at the road ahead as he drove.

"She is no big deal," Lilith opened her eyes, "I was surprised for a moment but then I realized she did not belong here."

"You mean..."

’’This should be a strategic move by Ace," Lilith looked at him.

"But what strategy requires him to have a girlfriend?" Eli shook his head, "Moreover, I thought you were staying over at the place you treated like your ’home’. I didn’t expect you to call me and ask me to pick you up."

Lilith shot him a look, "She is unremarkable but I need to get to the bottom of it."

"Then, at the restaurant back then..."

"It was her," Lilith remembered the figure of that person. Even if the girl she encountered in the Main Mansion looked slimmer, it was undoubtedly her in that restaurant, "And, she seems to have that puppy."

Eli frowned but after a moment, he sighed, "When we got that puppy for Old Madam, you insisted on showing it to Adrian but we lost it near the Eve Mansion. We have searched through the entire city but Eve Mansion has been untouched. So, I wouldn’t be too surprised."

Lilith remained silent, her eyes were unreadable.

"What do you want me to do?"

After a beat, her lips moved, "Find everything about her Ella Yu."

...

Later that night.

"Ella, are you not feeling well?" As Old Madam King spoke up, all the gazes on the dining table shifted to Ella.

Ella looked up from her plate, her face was a little pale, "I am fine, Grandma..."

’’Grandma, what can happen to her?" Kade chortled, "She is the one who makes others unwell."

Old Madam King gave him a stern look.

Kade shrugged, "I am telling you, Grandma, you just don’t know her well enough. That’s why you see her as this pitiful fawn."

’’I second that," Ronan added as he ate.

Both the men turned to Ella, but much to their shock and surprise, the girl remained unresponsive to their taunts.

Ella focused on eating.

Old Madam looked at both the men, "You should spend more time with Little Ian."

’’Hmm? Hmm? Is my brother feeling lonely?" Kade peeked.

Ronan turned to her, "Do you want us to protect him from evil spirits?"

Kade gave him a look and both the men smiled. Yet, their smiles froze awkwardly when Ella did not retort to them. She did not even spare them a gaze.

’’Not that. He will teach you how to be a gentleman."

"_"

After dinner, the Old Madam retreated to her room.

Ella carried Riri and Lala in each arm. She had just approached the stairs when her path was blocked.

’’Grandma is gone. You can just drop the pretense now,’’ Kade struck a heroic pose, blowing on his golden hair.
