Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Long time ahead of us

Riri and Lala sprinted across the couch of the guest room.

Adrian sat on the bed, his eyes contained a hint of displeasure and there were a few lines between his brows.

’Knock’

Ella pushed open the door and tiptoed inside the room, closing the door behind her.

Adrian lifted his chin, looking up at her.

Ella halted in her tracks. The way he looked at her just then... it was as if she had wronged him in some way.

For a moment, both the people did not exchange a single word.

However, in the next second, Ella threw herself into Adrian’s embrace, her hands tightly wrapping around his neck.

And as if it was his first instinct, Adrian immediately held her firmly and seated her on his lap.

"Baby, what are you doing here?" Ella mumbled as she pulled back to look at him.

"It’s them," Adrian said with a straight face.

Ella looked at Riri and Lala and felt her lips twitch. Sure... Sure, these two babies forcefully drove you here!

Adrian cleared his throat, burying his face in the crook of her neck, "You don’t want me here?" His voice was obviously cold but there was a tinge of... softness in there.

Was... Was he being coquettish?

Ella couldn’t resist Adrian in general, let alone the Adrian who knew how to act cute.

She bit her bottom lips and stroked his back. However, when she felt his muscles flexing under her caresses, her hand’s intention changed a bit.

Her touch slowed, lingering on his skin as she gently drawled her fingers down.

Adrian looked at her, his pupils glinting with an undecipherable glint that sent danger alarms in her head.

Ella removed her hand from his back but it was too late. In a swift movement, the man pinned her to the bed, capturing both her wrists above her head.

Ella gulped when his face hovered over the swell of her breasts.

And then slowly, his face dipped towards her collarbone.

She held her breath. But right at this moment, there were sounds of vigorous knocks on the door.

The trance broke and Ella’s breath hitched.

"Mr. King... Mr. King, it’s me.." Esther’s honeyed voice floated across the guest room like a witch’s spell.

"_"

Ella broke out in goosebumps... This... Why was she feeling second hand embarrassment?

Looking at Adrian’s darkening face, Ella wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered teasing, "Mr. King, don’t you have fans everywhere?"

The displeasure in Adrian’s eyes faded a bit when he looked at her teasing eyes. Sighing, he leaned closer to her, "Nonsense," His lips hovered over hers, and their breaths intermingled.

Just as their lips were about to clash, Esther’s voice floated in again.

"Mr. King, earlier, I couldn’t greet you properly so I felt very guilty about it..."

Outside the room, Esther stood in a provocative red nightgown that clung to her body, revealing her deep cleavage. The nightgown did not hide much of her body.

But after waiting for a few moments, Esther did not get a response from inside. But the lights were on...

"Mr. King, I..."

"Scram."

Adrian’s thunderous voice reverberated in the place and Esther flinched.

"What are you doing here?"

Before she could come back to her senses, she was dragged away by her father, "Didn’t I tell you to come out after an hour?"

"But..."

"Go to your room. Now!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

...

With Esther gone, Adrian and Ella sat up on the bed. He pulled her onto his lap.

"What’s bothering you?" Adrian suddenly asked, watching Ella tug at his sleeve absent-mindedly.

"Earlier..." Ella’s brows furrowed slightly, "...you wanted to speak about our relationship but I stopped you again. I just..."

"It doesn’t matter," Adrian hugged her, "We have a long way ahead of us. Things will happen wherever, however and whenever you want them to."

Ella’s nose turned sour, her eyes burned slowly.

She had not forgiven her parents for what happened the last time. And Ella did not if she could ever put aside that rock on her chest.

But, today, when her mother showed care for her, Ella did not want for that moment to end. She did not know what reaction it would bring if they knew her true relationship with Adrian.

At that time, Ella just found herself unwilling to get into another fight with them.

She thought Adrian would be angry.

But...

Ella sighed, nestling into the strong arms of the man, inhaling his comforting scent that seemed to drown all her worries away.

...

Later, Ella returned to her room, but sleep wouldn’t come easily.

She tossed and turned, her mind buzzing with everything that had happened.

Just as her eyelids began to feel heavy, a faint rustling sound caught her attention.

Ella’s eyes snapped open as she froze, straining to listen.

But the sound slowly moved to a distance. Ella rose from the bed and walked out of her room.
