Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession-Chapter 46: Baby, you need to hide!!

The calendar reflected a date that was unforgettable to Ella... both in life and in death.

25th December.

Ella’s face blanched and she stumbled a few steps back.

At this moment, a crowd stormed inside the room and voices mingled around everywhere.

’’Prepare for the funeral.’’

’’We should take him to the main mansion."

’’No, he shouldn’t step in there! Our ancestors would never rest in peace!"

Ella pressed her palms on her ears.

"Elle, get up!"

Ella’s chest rose and her eyes snapped open.

She stared at the ceiling, eyes wide. Warm tears rolled down her cheeks.

’’Ella...’’

Hearing the familiar voice, Ella slowly turned her head.

Adrian had propped himself up on his elbow, his body hovered above her.

A deep frown had settled between his brows.

In a daze, Ella raised her hand and placed it on the side of his face. A warmth seeped into her fingers. ’’You... are fine?"

Adrian’s lips thinned. He sat up on the bed.

Her hand remained frozen mid-air for a moment before he captured her wrist, wrapped an arm around her back and pulled her up into his arms.

’’Snap out of it.’’

His words were crisp and cold as ever.

But Ella found it comforting.

The knowledge that he was alive was even more comforting.

She let him hold her as she processed the nightmare.

Ella was afraid of losing her mind in that dark godforsaken place where she was not just mentally but also physically tormented. And hence, she ended up cutting herself for days and weeks to keep track of the passing time.

Hours before Esther came, she had heard the sound of Christmas bells chiming from some nearby church.

And for a fact, she knew that 25th December was the day Esther killed her.

’’Ella.’’

The deep voice pulled Ella out of her trance.

She lowered her head and realized that she was tightly clutching Adrian’s robe and hugging him like there was no tomorrow.

She immediately let go.

’’S.. Sorry...’’

The man’s gaze darkened.

Ella cried internally. Second master, must you be so easily triggered?

’’Did I wake you up earlier? I think I had some bad dreams... Not that I am much of a decent sleeper...’’

Translation: Hence, you should refrain from treating me like your teddy bear and sleeping with me.

But the man did not seem to care much about her insinuations. Instead, he got out of bed.

At this moment, there were two consecutive knocks on the door.

Ella’s jaws dropped. She immediately checked the time.

The wardens usually checked the rooms in the evening. So, she thought she had passed the danger zone.

But how come they are here at 4 am? Didn’t that mean somebody tipped them off about her keeping a man in her room?

Ella immediately bounced up with all her might, ’’Wait... You need to hide!" She whisper yelled, clutching Adrian’s hand with both her hands.

The man looked at her with disinterest.

Ella stood up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, ’’Please, baby... You need to hide.’’

The man did not budge as he kept standing there with a gaze that screamed ’you think I am so easily brought over’.

Ella almost had a mental breakdown when there was another knock.

She kissed his lips, ’’Please...’’

The man looked a bit satisfied.

’’Under the bed...’’ Wait. Not to mention his noble identity, he was also very tall to completely hide in there, ’’Hide in the washroom.’’

After hiding him in the washroom and ensuring that no other male properties were visible in the room, Ella opened the door.

And then, she froze.

’’Miss Yu, long time no see,’’ Ji Yan smiled at her politely.

’’We saw each other just yesterday... Wait, that’s not the point. What are you doing here?"

The man had wrapped a black cloth on his face like a thief’s mask but Ella could see all his features.

’’I bought new clothes for the second master,’’ He passed the bag to Ella and peeked around the room a little.

Ella: "_"

She had the feeling of being played like a fiddle suddenly.

So, Adrian knew it was Secretary Ji?

And he watched her running around like a panicking duck?

Err... The hair on the back of her neck bristled.

’’Secretary Ji, don’t you think you should get going quickly now before anyone sees you and labels you as a pervert who barges into female dormitories?" she smiled at the man.

The man’s face looked constipated. Holding down the black handkerchief on his face, he glanced left and right and ran away.

When Ella closed the door and turned around, she was greeted by the sight of a certain handsome devil leaning against the bathroom wall.

She opened her mouth but unlike how she did with Ji Yan, she cannot call this great devil a pervert. So, in the end, she closed her mouth and passed the bag to him.

"Hehe~ Baby, you have a great sense of humor,’’ Since the opponent was too strong, Ella decided to swallow the bitter pill of humiliation. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Watching her fuming yet flattering him like her life depended on it, Adrian’s lips curved.

Ella only caught a glimpse of his face before he turned around and entered the bathroom to change.

Huh.. Did he just smile? Or was I seeing things?

...

In a mysterious black sedan outside the university campus.

’’Second Master...’’ Ji Yan peeked at the man through the mirror a couple of times.

It has been more than 10 hours. What exactly was the Second Master doing in the girls dorm for so long that even got his clothes dirty?

The more he thought, the further his thoughts raced.

In the end, he shook off his head to chase away those bizarre ideas.

He pulled out a brand new phone and passed it to Adrian, ’’Master, the data has all been restored to this new phone...’’

He trailed off, feeling a fresh wave of flowers hitting his face.

The man sitting in the backseat seemed to be covered in rainbows and sunshine even in the darkness of the night.

Seeing that the man seemed to be in an extraordinary mood, Ji Yan broached a topic of concern, ’’Second Master, what do you want to do about Esther Yu?"
