Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: She cares for him

Ella refused to keep up with the guessing game.

"I won’t know if you don’t tell me," Ella spoke up when there was no response from Adrian.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

One minute passed by.

They stood in the middle of the path, with Ella holding Adrian’s palm and expecting a reply from him.

While the man did not utter a single word.

"_"

If Ella could eat her words back, she would have!

God forbid a pleb like her dared to expect this ’I won’t say a word but you need to understand what I am saying’ god to communicate with her.

’Perhaps, I am overthinking it and pushing his boundaries...’ Ella sighed and let go of his hand.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and Adrian’s face was enshrouded in shadows.

Ella: "_" Sir, can you not scare me like this?

However, contrary to her expectations, the man did not act or speak.

Instead, he turned around and walked away.

Watching his retreating back, her breath caught and a hint of discomfort crept in Ella’s chest as her fingers curled into a fist.

Before she could think, she had snapped—

"Fine, I will tell you Adrian!"

Adrian’s footsteps came to a halt.

"You were not wrong. I have my secrets..." As Ella spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

"But I don’t want to talk about them with anybody who I care for!"

Ella hated to admit. She hated to admit that her previous life was a colossal mess of her bad decisions. And deep down, she was scared.

She was scared not because she thought that nobody would believe her. But rather, she was afraid that someone would believe her. And if they did, what then?

They would probably mock her, laugh at her foolishness, say that she deserved it or simply, they would turn their backs to her like Adrian did just now.

A few minutes passed by. As Adrian stood there in silence, Ella slowly snapped back to herself. Her fist loosened and her lips parted.

"I..." She coughed once before averting her gaze, "I am sorry. I didn’t mean to shout at you like..."

Suddenly, Adrian turned around.

Looking at his heaven-blessed face, Ella was momentarily bedazzled until she saw the shock on his face.

Ella froze. Never before had she seen such a reaction on his face. One of pure shock and wonder.

"W-What...?" Ella reflected upon all that she said just now. Did she blurt something in her haste?

"You care for me?"

"Uh... Sorry... What?"

Adrian walked towards with slow, steady and powerful footsteps.

As he stood in front of her, he slowly raised his hand to her face.

His fingers hovered near her hair, never once touching her yet not backing down.

"You care for me," It was as if Adrian’s disjointed brain could only decipher that only thing from all that she said.

’...I don’t want to talk about them with anybody who I care for!’

Thinking about the words she uttered in her haste, a hint of crimson crept up Ella’s face.

Before she could say another word, Adrian grabbed her hand.

They had just taken a few steps when a black sedan stopped in front of them.

Ji Yan stepped out to open the door for them but before he could act, Adrian had already opened the door for her.

Ella cleared her throat and looked at him hesitantly. "Are you..." alright?

The man turned her face away before she could even finish speaking.

Sighing, Ella got inside the car.

On the way, Adrian did not say another word to her nor did he look at her. Just as he had come here, looking out of the window, he kept his gaze out on the road.

Ji Yan, the single dog, inwardly sighed. Sure enough. This was what a couple’s fight looked like!

You care for me?

You care for me.

How could you care for someone like me?

Ji Yan, who was sitting next to them to remain low-key, had his eyes bulging out. Second Master, you can’t tolerate such food!
