Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: I like kissing my hot and cold husband

By the time Adrian released her, Ella’s brain was completely fuzzy and her body felt abnormally warm even in the freezing weather of Vermilion City.

She remained straight for a moment before she leaned towards him.

Adrian suddenly felt a weight against his shoulder and his heart skipped a beat.

He looked down at the girl who had leaned her head on his shoulder.

Adrian’s eyes softened, ’’Tired?" He raised his hand and his fingers played with her soft hair unconsciously.

Calm as he was, Ella’s mind was in a complete mess.

Why the hell her body reacted to him like this?

No wonder... No wonder great men declared that a true beauty was the cause of a nation’s downfall.

Look at her. A determined woman who should have been wary or pissed at all that transpired... instead of melting like marshmallows. Ughhh!

Just thinking about how she had leaned in for another kiss when he had stopped, Ella wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

Her face was heating up and her palms were clammy.

When Adrian moved, his cool scent wafted over in her nostrils and her thoughts trailed off.

Before Ella could think any further, his strong arm wrapped around her waist, ’’Sleep if you are tired.’’

Ella’s body moved before her mind did.

And after struggling about for a bit, she got off the man’s lap.

But she had barely managed to sit by herself when her body stiffened, ’’Ah...’’ She yelp as a tremor shot through her waist.

Adrian frowned, ’’What is it?"

Ella rubbed her waist gently and avoided his gaze, ’’I think it happened when I tripped earlier...’’

Her words trailed off when the man’s fingers reached out to her waist naturally.

"Tripped?" His eyes did not look away from her face.

But his fingers were positioned on her waist right where it she felt a little pain.

Ella was only momentarily distracted by the touch but his words snapped her right out of it.

’’Of course, I tripped and we fell... Baby, what else did you think of?"

Adrian’s eyes darkened a bit, one couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Ella rolled her eyes inwardly. Caveman.

As he patiently massaged her waist, Ella messed around with him and the awkward air from earlier was gone as the fell back into their usual dynamics.

’’Baby, these days you must be worried because of me. Aren’t you very busy?"

As Adrian looked at the girl, he could see her eyes sparkling as if she was up to something again.

"Mm.’’

Ella sighed and very self-righteously, she said, ’’I know you are concerned for me to the point that you can’t eat or sleep or work but baby, I am concerned for you too.’’

’’Oh?" Adrian pressed on her waist.

Ella jumped, ’’Eheh... That’s ticklish... Ow...’’ She abruptly pushed his hand away.

His eyes narrowed.

’’Baby trust me, you have golden fingers. Every injury you touch heals by itself. I feel better already."

Adrian sat back on his seat, calmly looking ahead.

Soon, Ji Yan and Riri also made their appearance.

Ella turned her face to the side and let out a secret sigh of relief.

But suddenly, she stiffened as she felt an arm wrap around her waist.

Adrian didn’t say anything else, but his hand remained resting on her waist, firm and unmoving.

Ella stared out of the window, forcing herself to count the streetlamps.

Why did she feel like she was being held down gently... and yet couldn’t breathe?
