Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: He collected them for her

’’Then, one day, the bird died. Even though he never expressed it, Little Ian blamed himself for the dove’s untimely death. A part of Little Ian changed forever...’’ Old Madam closed her eyes, "After that incident, I never saw him near small animals until today. Others thought that he disdained them for being weak and vulnerable but they don’t know..."

’’My grandson saw himself as a beast. He thought of himself as incapable of treating those small and vulnerable animals with care. He was afraid of harming them, so, he distanced himself.’’

More tears ran down the butler’s cheeks, "The Second Master... has always taken things all upon him..."

Old Madam turned to the butler, "I see the whole world in my grandson’s eyes when he looks at her."

’’And if I try to separate them, I am afraid this time, it would not end with him falling sick for weeks..."

...

In another city in Country V.

’’Second Master, I have made the hotel arrangements. It will take us hours to return to the mansion. You have been out for the meeting the entire evening so you should take a little rest first.’’

Adrian was sitting on the backseat of the car, with his eyes closed.

Getting no response from him, Ji Yan was relieved. It meant that he had agreed to it.

At this moment, Adrian’s phone buzzed.

"Second Master, it’s a call from Dr. Knight."

When Adrian remained silent, Ji Yan quickly answered the call and put it on speaker.

"Ace, when are you coming? Both Third Young Master and I miss you to death..."

Adrian calmly uttered one word, "Disconnect."

Ji Yan coughed and reached out towards the phone.

"Hey, hey, wait, I didn’t just call you for this. It’s about your wife!"

Adrian’s eyes opened.

Ji Yan immediately went into alert mode. Ella had changed her ways recently but as the things stood, he couldn’t fully trust her. Did she find an opportunity to escape from the main mansion while the second master wasn’t around?

"Cough... Did you guys have a fight or something?" Ronan cleared his throat, "It seems like she is in a terrible mood."

Adrian remained silent.

"We even provoked her a little but she did not respond as she usually would..."

Adrian’s eyes darkened and the air around him turned colder.

Ji Yan flinched and immediately made his move by hanging up on Ronan.

’Beep beep beep’

"Second Master, we..."

"Back to the Main Mansion."

...

Ella laid in bed, unable to fall asleep. Beside her, Riri and Lala were nestled together, sleeping comfortably on one side of the bed.

She tossed and turned for a few hours before she approached the window.

After midnight, all the lights in the grand estate were out. Even the mansions of the branch families were enshrouded in darkness.

The moon had hidden behind the clouds and the only source of light was the bedside lamp that dimly lit the room.

After sitting on the windowsill for a few minutes, Ella stood up to go back to the bed.
