Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession-Chapter 180: Getting him to communicate

’He might be a madman but it’s not like you have ever encouraged his madness,’ the angel whispered to Ella, ’You stood your own ground in this life and you broke free from your violent tendencies of the past life.

You didn’t lash out at him or scheme against him but rather, you communicated your needs with him time and time again.’

’That doesn’t matter,’ the little devil was weirdly persistent, ’No matter how much she communicates, he is still a tyrant.’

’He might be a tyrant but didn’t he respect her wishes all this time, eventually? And he has been changing his ways for her, albeit reluctantly...’

’’Miss Yu... Miss Yu...!"

’’Ah?" The voices in her head whispered, "Are we here?"

When Ji Yan nodded, Ella alighted and the car walked off to the Eve Mansion in a daze.

Adrian looked at her retreating back, a storm stirring in his eyes.

Ji Yan’s hair bristled, "S-Second Master, Miss Yu is probably just uncomfortable after the whole exchange with Maxwell Hill."

Dark clouds formed atop Adrian’s head and the bright skies seemed to be gloomier suddenly. One couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

"No matter what, he is her ex-boyfriend. From what I know, any lady will feel a little uncomfortable after talking to her ex..."

Ji Yan trailed off when he realized that Adrian’s expression worsened.

Adrian slowly tilted his head and looked at Ji Yan, "Make him suffer," his voice was barely above a whisper but a chill crept down Ji Yan’s back.

"Y-Yes, Second Master..."

As he watched the man leave, Ji Yan felt his heart palpitating slightly.

Earlier when they spotted Ella with Max, he had seen that look on his Second Master’s face. He looked like he would annihilate the entire Hill clan and lock Ella in the Eve Mansion, never once letting her out of his sight.

Imagine his surprise when he watched his Second Master gently guiding Ella back to the car?

’No matter what, Miss Yu seems to have gotten over that guy so the situation right now shouldn’t be that bad, right...?’ Ji Yan dabbed his flower-embroidered handkerchief on his forehead before pulling out his phone to restart the torment sessions of the Hill Family.

...

As soon as Ella entered her room, she kicked off her shoes and closed the door behind her.

But before the door could close, slender fingers curled around it.

Ella was startled. She hurriedly let go of the door, "Did I hurt you?" She looked at the man who had his hand trapped in there.

"By ignoring me? Yes." The man uttered a few words but Ella’s brain stopped functioning for a while.

"I ignored you?" Ella found it laughable. This big devil retreated into his ’I am sulking, don’t approach me shell’ whenever he felt like it and he was saying she ignored him.

Adrain stepped inside the room, his brows tugging together, "Did you not?"

’She is my wife.’

’Irreplaceable and incomparable.’

Perhaps it was his tone but Ella was reminded of the words he had uttered in front of Max, sounding just as aloof.

Just thinking of it made her feel a little... cough... warm.

Ella’s squirmish stance and her silence were completely misunderstood by Adrian. Grabbing her hand, he pulled her close.

"Ahhh! Put me down!" Ella nearly saw stars when she was swung over his shoulder like a potato sack.

’Plop’

Ella landed on the middle of the bed, her head still spinning. She then looked at the man who sat on the edge of the bed with his head lowered, "Adrian..."

If Adrian had one grey cloud hovering over his head earlier, there was storm brewing there at this moment. His face was so gloomy that it could scare the devil back into his nest.

"B-Baby?"

The man’s clenched fist loosened slightly and his pale face tilted to the side.

Ella was stumped. She suddenly had another epic realization. Adrian did not like it when she called him by his name.

It was as if Princess Adrian wanted to live his life like an ordinary person, not to be known by his royal title.

"Do you...’’ Adrian’s jaw clenched and unclenched, his fingers curled so tight that one could see the veins popping on his forearm.

Darkness curled in his heart, consuming him little by little. All that he could see was black.

Suddenly—

Adrian froze.

Soft fingers curled around his fingers. Ella knelt on the bed, her thumb gently stroking his closed fist.

"Do I what?" Ella looked the man in his eye.

In this life, she had not seen Adrian having his madness or night terror episodes yet and with everyday she spent in his company, she was unwilling to see him in that state.

Ella was no doctor but even the top doctors couldn’t really help Adrian in her previous life.

If that was the case, it solely meant that Adrian hid himself too well. Keeping all his thoughts to himself, letting them pile up until it led to a violent outburst.

In her previous life, the consequences of that outburst would be him tormenting himself and locking her up.

Ella wondered if he communicated his feelings more, would mental burdens lessen a bit?

Adrian looked away from her, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Do you still wish to go to him?"

"If I do, would you still lock me up?" The words slipped out of Ella’s mouth the moment Adrian finished speaking.

And suddenly, the man looked up. His eyes were bloodthirsty. Ferocious. And his aura was like that of a beast who wanted to tear someone apart.

Ella flinched and pulled her hand away from him.

Seeing the look of terror that crossed her face, Adrian stiffened.

He unclenched his fist and reached his hand towards her.

Just as his finger was about to touch her face, she looked away.

Adrian’s fingers curled slightly. Without another word, the man got up and left.

Ella sat there on the bed, her heart slowly calming down.

No words were exchanged after she asked that question. But his silence couldn’t have been more obvious.
