Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: If the man is you, then I am all in

Ella finally managed to calm herself down after a while when...

"Were those your words?" Adrian’s chilly voice froze the air in the room that had just warmed up a little.

’’Baby, you just have some misunderstandings. What words...?" Ella feigned ignorance with a few coughs.

’’Can’t I go on in life for a while without a man waiting for me on my bed? Must I have someone who will eternally be curious about my whereabouts and think I cheated on him if I ever get a little late? Must I re-create all those fluffy domestic scenes with him...?’’ After reciting those with his most indifferent face, Adrian paused, ’’These words.’’

"_" Why was everyone’s memory so good?

Such geniuses... but they had to use their ingenuity in remembering what she said and then picking on her.

When she remained silent, the air in the room became more suffocating. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

It became even difficult to breathe when suddenly...

’Woof woof’

Ella’s ears perked up.

She immediately looked behind Adrian, ’’Riri!"

The little brown puppy that had snuggled inside her unfolded blankets jumped up and ran towards her.

Ella reached out towards him but something shocking happened...

Instead of rushing to her, the puppy ran to Adrian and looked at him as if wanting to flatter him.

"_"

The scent of betrayal was thick in the air...

Adrian sat there stone faced.

Ella gulped, ’’Baby... It’s not like what you are thinking..."

"Were those your words?" Adrian’s voice was dry and apathetic.

Ella hesitated but eventually nodded once.

The temperature around the man dropped.

’’But baby, I really do not mean it... Who says an independent young woman cannot have a love life? It’s true that I don’t want any man waiting for me on my bed or constantly being around me...’’

Adrian’s gaze deepened.

’’But if the man is you, then I am all in!" Ella raised both her hands in surrender.

After all, I don’t even have the power to defy you so I will just lie low for now.

Suddenly, the storm in the room seemed to have receded a bit.

Ella secretly wiped her cold sweat, not noticing how Adrian’s eyes looked at her.

There seemed to be a heat behind the man’s initially cold and detached eyes that stared at her.

When the silence in the room lingered, Ella finally realized that their position was rather weird.

He was sitting on the bed and she was standing between his legs with both of them not saying a word to each other.

She coughed twice before she began to retreat when suddenly, her hand was clasped in an iron-grip.

And in the next moment, Ella landed on Adrian’s lap.

Up so close, his fragrance clouded her senses.

He carried the scent of midnight... cool vetiver and the lingering warmth of amber, like a storm that had just begun to roll in.

Dangerous, yet fascinating.

Her thoughts trailed off when he bit on her bottom lips.

Ella hissed. What the...! Was he a dog in his previous life?

Eh... I am sure he was not. But this... What did I do wrong now? Why was he still angry?

Ella unconsciously pouted when he released her lips.

You did not fight with me like you would have done before.

Is this another facade of yours?

Are you pretending?

If it is, if you are, let this never end.

Don’t stop pretending, Elle.
