Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Am I there in your future, Elle?

Ella held her breath.

"Let them spread.’’ He said, sounding like an aloof deity detached from the affairs of the mortal world.

Rumors? Let them spread.

Only Adrian could say something so bold with such a straight face.

The moment he said that, another hushed yet not so hushed remark fell in Ella’s ears as a maid spoke.

’’You all asked me to lose some weight before marriage, right? See, a real man will love and cherish his woman the way the second master does with Miss Yu. Hmph! I am never listening to you all again...’’

Some more of these excited whispers fell into Ella’s ears and her face heated up.

She did not know if Adrian heard the last one or not because his calm exterior did not betray anything.

"Why did you pick me up?" Ella asked with a cough.

’’Because you wanted me to.’’

"_" Second Master, pray tell when this happened...

Slightly stunned, Ella laughed, ’’I just said that I don’t want to walk..."

’’That means you want me to carry you.’’

Ella: "_"

She could not really do anything with Adrian’s straightforward way of interpreting things.

Everytime she tried to convince him, she would realize why he was the CEO of King Empires and she was penniless even after living two lives.

So, Ella gave up and let him carry her.

Surprisingly, he did not show her around the mansion.

But rather, he took her to the backyard that led to a beautiful garden.

It was only when they reached there that he put her down to her feet, gently removing his hand from the lower flare of her dress.

The garden in the Eve Mansion itself was so grand that it was akin to an Imperial garden. Hence, Ella was not particularly surprised to see the variety of flowers here in the garden of the main mansion.

But there was one thing that caught her attention. She walked in the direction of a corner. Surrounded by graceful and rare flowers, an old magnolia tree stood there silently.

The shrubs of it had spread in all directions.

Somehow, it seemed to be disturbing the view of the entire garden that was very prim, proper and of uniform length and width.

"Why would they plant it here? It doesn’t seem to belong here,’’ Why did they make such a rookie mistake?

’’I planted it.’’

Ella was taken aback. Her head whipped in Adrian’s directions, ’’You... planted it?" She pointed at the magnolia tree.

Adrian nodded once.

Ella laughed... But then she stopped laughing when she saw that he was serious.

Adrian stepped towards a nearby bench and took a seat.

Ella immediately sat beside him, ’’Baby, have you planted more things in this garden too? What about the garden in Eve Mansion? Have you planted something there too?"

Adrian glanced at the magnolia tree, ’’Only this one.’’

"Why this... And nothing else?" Ella was curious.

"This one’s different," Adrian said quietly, almost to himself. he said quietly, almost as if speaking to someone who wasn’t there.

A strange chill brushed Ella’s heart, but she smiled it away.

Ella followed his gaze and wondered if this tree was some divine tree. To be planted by the great devil Adrian King, it was bound to be beyond ordinary.

Moreover, for some reason, she could not put together the picture of Adrian planting a tree in her mind. It just seemed unrealistic.

"Is it that hard to believe?" Adrian frowned.

’’Hehehe...’’ Ella coughed a couple of times, ’’Of course not. I was just admiring the view.’’
