Reborn: Sly Wife's Obsessed Tycoon Husband-Chapter 10: Appreciating art

Yesterday...

''There is something I want to ask you for!" Ella declared.

Adrian grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in.

Ella's breath hitched.

The man placed a soft kiss on her lips before he hugged her, ''Mm...''

And in no time, his breathing pattern was even.

''Are you... asleep...?" She did not dare to believe her own words.

She wanted to shake him some more but the diligent assistant who had given them some space during the kiss quickly jumped back in the scene.

''Boss hasn't slept in days. Three days ago, he barely slept for an hour before going on a business trip. He is only functioning normally because of medications...'' Ji Yan spoke in a voice that was even smaller than a whisper.

...

As Ella looked at the sleeping man, she knew that yesterday, his assistant was also thinking in the same direction as her.

This guy probably collapsed due to exhaustion.

Ella did not realize when she also dozed off in the living room in that uncomfortable hugging position.

When she was stirred awake at midnight, she was floating in the air. After a moment, she realized that Adrian was carrying her.

He probably carried her all the way to the master bedroom and they continued sleeping like sleepyheads.

In fact, things were the same in her previous life.

Adrian suffered from severe sleeping disorders, not just insomnia.

There was one time she had entered his room to pick a fight in her previous life and the scene she witnessed had left her shivering for days.

He was screaming and snarling like that of a wounded beast and she thought he had gone mad. Until she noticed that he had his eyes closed.

She then thought he was having a nightmare. But then the blanket lifted and she saw that his hands were cuffed.

And back then, she was even more determined to stay away from this dangerous man.

She had seen his doctors and therapists and over the time during her stay, she realized that he really did not suffer from insomnia.

His issues were not limited to not being able to fall asleep. He could not fall asleep during normal days but when he slept, he could not get up easily.

If he got up, he would be like a terrifying beast, plagued by nightmares. And when he fell sick.... things were even worse.

Ella sighed and slumped back on the pillow, slowly tilting her head to the side so that the man's face finally moved away from the crook of her neck.

Looking at his heavenly features, her fingers twitched a little.

Art should be appreciated.

Convincing herself of her morality, she raised her hand and gently stroked his striking jawline, his long eyelashes, his pale face...

A man who seemed to have the world at his feet... Why would he suffer like this?

''Why...?"

The word unconsciously slipped past her mouth.

Suddenly, she froze.

The sleeping beauty who was being fondled by her fingers moved.

His eyes opened. Like the twinkling stars in the sky, they seemed to reflect her face.

She panicked.

''Ah, I... was merely admiring your smooth face. I have never asked this before but what's your skincare routine... mmph!"

Her lips were sealed before her words could go through.

Adrian raked his fingers through her hair and nibbled on her bottom lips.

One of knees was positioned between her legs as he slowly hovered over her.

Just as she got a chance to catch her breath, his lips descended upon hers again.

His tongue thrust inside her mouth, ravishing her again and again, exploring every nook and cranny of her.

Ella's body seemed to react to every touch of the man in a way that was beyond her.

Suddenly, the man let go.

And she felt a hint of dissatisfaction almost instantly.

Ella almost cursed herself.

In her past life, she failed to appreciate this beauty. And in this life, she was getting distracted by this beauty.

Was Adrian King meant to be her eternal doom?

As the man rose from the bed, she squinted.

''I want a phone, a laptop and some other essentials,'' she pushed herself up on the bed.

The man paused and then he proceeded to adjust his shirt wordlessly.

Ella didn't give up, ''Things have changed now.''

When he brought her to this mansion, he had not really changed anything in her life.

All he demanded was for her to stay put in here.

But, she wasn't willing to.

Even now, she wasn't willing to.

However back then, her means were different.

Like, the reason why she lost her phone was because a few months ago, she had entered his study in his absence and gotten her hands on a confidential file of King Empires.

What did she do? She released it on social media.

Her post was taken down in no time but still, she had an account with plenty of followers who became her haters after her downfall and stayed there to spew hate in her post comments.

So, her post garnered a lot of attention. However, in a matter of a few seconds, the matter was handled by the King Empires efficiently.

And in her rage, she had intended to smash the phone on Adrian's face.

Calm as he was, he stood there. Only when the phone was about to hit his face, he stepped to the side.

And her phone... hit the wall and ascended to heavens right there.

Unlike her, it wasn't even reborn yet.

Ella smiled bitterly when Adrian's silence stretched.

''I can promise you two things!'' She solemnly said with her fingers forming a peace sign.

The man turned to meet her gaze.
