Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Are you saying you wanted to kiss?

Ella cursed under her breath when she realized that she had twisted the faucet to the wrong side and turned on the shower!

Suddenly, she stiffened when she heard the sound of footsteps outside.

’Knock’

There was one single knock.

Ella’s jaw dropped.

Did Adrian King just knock on her door?

While she stood there in momentary astonishment, she forgot to respond to the person standing outside.

And in the next moment, the bathroom door that she hadn’t bothered to lock was pushed open by Adrian.

There was a hint of visible remorse and concern on his face.

Ella froze when the man walked up to her, not caring one bit if his expensive suit was completely soaked in the water.

He stood beside her under the shower and slowly examined her from head to toe.

Soon, Ella recovered from her daze when she realized what he was doing.

Was he... perhaps concerned that she would hurt herself like the last time? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Seeing the deep frown that was etched between his brows, Ella was suddenly reminded of the nightmare she had last night.

In that hospital, both Ji Yan and Ronan were in a sheer panic. The urgency on their faces was unforgettable. But who could be the patient in the emergency room that could elicit such a reaction from those two?

Looking at Adrian’s face, a wild guess formed in her mind. Could that person in the emergency room be none other than Adrian?

But she did not acknowledge it. It was just a nightmare no matter how real it felt.

While Adrian was examining Ella’s body closely, he suddenly felt a soft touch between his brows.

He froze.

’’Don’t frown too much...’’ Ella mumbled in a soft voice as she smoothened the lines between his brows.

The glacier in Adrian’s eyes seemed to have cracked suddenly.

Both of them were standing under the shower, thoroughly drenched and awfully close.

Yet, each person was carrying their own thoughts.

Ella was almost a foot shorter than him so she had her chin tilted up to meet his gaze.

’’Our first night together...’’ Ella started suddenly, ’’I initiated it.’’

The man paused.

In her previous life, her memories had grown fuzzy but she still remembered that she had been to one to initiate everything after getting drunk.

Of course, she mistook him for Max back then and it caused a huge rift between them when she uttered that guy’s name on peak.

’’What happened that day in the mansion... it was an accident. I did not hurt myself on purpose. I would not hurt myself on purpose.’’

Adrian glanced at her deeply.

’’We might have our disagreements but in certain things, we both are consenting adults so you shouldn’t blame yourself unnecessarily.’’

No matter what, she didn’t want him to carry unnecessary burdens.

When she had a problem with him, she would tell him. And when she did not have one, she would tell him that too.

With his intense paranoia and overthinking tendencies, these things would only harm him in the long term.

Hence, it was just better to assure him because she meant it when she said she would sincerely try to work on their relationship with him.

The man did not respond to her words.

Ella suddenly realized that she still had her fingers pressed between his brows, gently caressing his frown that was non-existent now.
