Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: He was being clingy lately

Ella walked beside Adrian silently while scolding herself in her mind, ’He’s not even seducing me. So why am I already this seduced?’

When she looked at his chiseled side profile, Ella flinched and averted her gaze.

’Why is my body so hot?’ She took a small step to the side, worried that he would notice.

But in the next moment, he grabbed her hand and pulled her close, intertwining their fingers.

Ella’s heart raced louder than war drums. The sound thundered so loud in her ears, she worried he might hear it.

’Ella, oh Ella, stop acting like a horny, lovesick teenager!’

After endless inner monologues, they finally reached the condominium.

Ella pushed all the indecent thoughts to the back of her head and glanced at Adrian, "Baby, you can set them down in the kitchen. I’ll start prepping."

After freshening up and washing her face until she could no longer see any redness on it, Ella finally headed to the kitchen.

She rolled her sleeves up, pulling her hair into a messy bun instinctively...

But her fingers slipped through her short hair. Ella paused, her smile dimming slightly.

From the corner of her eyes, she spotted Adrian and suddenly, all the things that she had been hearing after coming back from Country A rushed back to her mind.

Be it the troubles going on in the Yu Family business or Esther’s broken engagement with Mo Jun.

"Did you really act against the Yu Family?" she couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes," Adrian did not try to deny it at all.

Ella lowered her gaze, "I won’t blame you for what you did... I know you did it for me. But in the future, don’t act against them anymore."

As she said that, she glanced at Adrian seriously.

She had no grudges against her parents, even till the point she cut her ties with them and for their sake, she let Esther go this time despite having grudges of two lives against her.

"If it’s needed, I’ll act on my own. You don’t need to do anything," Ella added.

But the man did not budge from his spot, standing there without a single change in his expression.

Just when Ella was convinced that Adrian wouldn’t respond, the man finally opened his mouth. "I won’t initiate."

Ella nodded slowly, "That assures me... I doubt they’ll ever take the initiative to mess with you—"

"They shouldn’t harm you," Adrian interrupted her, calmly.

Ella looked at him, stunned. "What?"

"They should not initiate anything against you."

At first, Ella was blank for a moment. Then, the depth of his words dawned on her:

If they cross you, I cross them.

She looked at him quietly for a moment. "I don’t resent my parents for anything. And this time, I’ve ended our familial ties. So, in the future, I doubt they will ever... approach me again."

When she said those words, there was a distinct sadness in her voice that she probably didn’t even notice.

However, Adrian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Ella tucked her hair properly behind her ear before tying it in a low ponytail.

In about half an hour, the subtle aroma of various dishes filled the air.

"Try them and tell me how they are." The dining table was filled with only a few simple dishes and honestly, Ella doubted they would suit Adrian’s palate.

After all, he was very picky with food, even food prepared by the greatest chefs in the Eve Mansion.

Nevertheless, she realized that she was actually looking forward to his response.

But even after a long time, Adrian didn’t lift the spoon.

Instead, he looked at the dishes silently.

Ella’s smile faded slightly. "You don’t like anything here?"

"Come here," the man extended a hand toward her.

Bewildered, Ella got up from the chair and approached him. "What—"

In one swift move, Adrian pulled her onto his lap.

Before Ella could recover from her reverie, the man planted his chin on her neck and whispered in her ear, "Feed me."

"F-F-Feed you?" Ella blinked as she turned to face him, almost in disbelief.

Adrian quietly raised both his hands, showing off his bandages.

Ella’s eyes widened. "I almost forgot that you’re injured. Let me... Wait—"

"Mm?" Adrian lowered his long lashes as she leaned toward him.

"Didn’t you say you could carry all the bags in one hand and me in the other?" Ella paused, her eyes narrowing, "How come you’re suddenly so weak now?"

"I don’t know," Adrian responded with a straight face.

Ella narrowed her eyes at him, suspicious.

But when she looked at the bandages again, her heart softened despite herself.

’Was he always such a brat?’ she wondered as she picked up a spoon.

Sitting sideways in his lap, she began feeding him bite by bite, blowing gently on each spoonful before bringing it to his lips.
