Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: At her place

Ronan walked around the car and entered the driver’s seat.

Ruby glanced at the man while he tapped away on his phone, his expression solemn.

’Is he texting his girlfriend?’ Her thought process startled her for a moment.

And suddenly, the visual of him dancing with that beautiful woman flashed through her mind.

A strange ache pressed behind her heart, making Ruby gasp. She pressed her fingers on her chest.

Suddenly, warm fingers pressed by the side of her neck..

Ruby froze.

"Your pulse seems fine. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Ronan frowned, his graze trailing downwards, "Is it the chest?"

’Pak’

Ruby slapped his hand away the moment he reached towards her chest.

Ronan looked at her with a helpless gaze.

"I am fine. Drive."

Ronan was far from convinced, "Just let me know if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, okay?"

She paused for a moment before nodding.

After a long time, Ronan pulled up in front of a grand apartment building, "Here we are."

Once Ruby alighted the car, she turned around to look at Ronan, "Thank you. You can leave now."

Ronan’s eyes narrowed, "Do you think I would be staying here to be an annoyance?" He turned the car and left in the blink of an eye.

The light in Ruby’s eyes dimmed but after a while, she turned around and made her way to Ella’s flat.

After rummaging through her purse, she pulled out the keys that Ella had given her before and unlocked the door.

Ruby walked off to the window that faced the main street but she found the road empty.

’He really left...’

Massaging her shoulders, she walked off to the couch and laid down on it. The event of the entire day played in her mind, one by one, until her eyes closed.

...

’Ringgggg’

Ruby was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. When she checked the time, it was past 8 am. She immediately fixed her appearance and got up from the couch.

The moment Ruby opened the door, a carrot nearly stabbed into her eye.

"Ah, step aside, step aside,. Ruby. This is too heavy!" Ella whined.

Ruby immediately took the grocery bag from her hand, "You... What is this..."

While Ruby spoke, she reached out to close the door but at this moment, a beautiful white dresser came to her view.

Ruby froze when she saw who carried it inside.

"Baby, there... there... Place it there!" Ella immediately abandoned her friend and rushed over to her man, eyes sparkling like stars as she looked at his muscles that were bulging through his shirt.

The hint of darkness in the bottom of Adrian’s eyes was immediately replaced with something akin to satisfaction when he saw her worshipping gaze.

"Eh, the weather was so good that I caught a doctor outside the apartment!" A bubbly voice resounded in the place and everybody turned to look in the direction of the door.

Kade sauntered in. One of his hands was hooked around Ronan’s hand. On the other hand, he carried a coffee maker.

"I got him to bring that knowing how much you need your coffee and I didn’t have one of these here..." Ella looked at Ronan who looked sleep-deprived, "As for that... I have no hand in it."

Ruby stood there in a daze for a long time before she took the coffee maker from Kade and placed it down, "Thank you."

"My pleasure," Kade grinned, giving her a playful wink.

Witnessing this small exchange, Ronan pulled his hand out of Kade’s grip and mumbled under his breath, "Ungrateful woman..."

"Hmm? Did you say something?" Kade blinked at him, "Oh, by the way, you still haven’t answered me. Why were you sleeping in your car in that secretive spot? If I didn’t recognize your car right away, I would have missed out on you..."

"Who asked you to be so sharp, Third Young Master?" Ronan thinned his lips into a smile.

Kade rubbed his neck, "Come on, Knight, you will make me shy like this..."

Ronan’s lips twitched. This caveman was actually his best friend!

"Huh?"

Then, Ella briefly described everything. Actually, last night, the moment Ronan helped Ruby in his car, he had already texted Ella about the situation.

At first, Ella had been ready to visit her at that time. But it was already late and Ronan told her to visit the next morning, saying that Ruby might need some rest.

"So, it is like this..." Ruby was immediately reminded of the man texting someone in the car. So, he was not texting his girlfriend, but Ella?

"So, what’s going on between the both of you?" Ella smiled teasingly.

Ruby shook her head, "Nothing at all."

"He stayed outside the building the entire night just to make sure you will be fine. Who would believe that there is nothing going on?" Ella sighed.

In fact, from what Ella understood, Ronan had probably planned to stay there secretly for the night and then leave just as quietly.

On a normal occasion, he wouldn’t have shown up in front of Ruby and let himself be exposed. But seeing Kade here, there was no doubt why Ronan changed his intentions.

Hearing Ella’s question, Ruby fell silent. Something going on between her and Ronan? She did not think so...

"Ruby," Ella’s voice suddenly became solemn.

When Ruby looked at her, Ella sighed, "You can tell me what happened whenever you want. You can also come to me if you need any help. You know that, right?"

Ruby did not say anything for a long time. But right after, she stepped forward and wrapped Ella in a hug.

"I have made my decision."

Ella paused, "I won’t ask you about it. But whatever it is, I support you," Sighing, Ella reached out to pat Ruby’s back, "For now, let’s just enjoy the weekends ahead."

Truth be told, the only people who were idle during the weekends were Ella, Kade and Ruby.

Both Adrian and Ronan were the kind of people who would not have the time to breathe even during the Saturdays.

But today seemed to be an exception. With great hopes of spending quality time with his wife, Mr. King once again dumped the heavy burdens of the King Empires on a certain poor secretary.

As for Ronan, one could see him standing in a corner, making multiple calls to his team of doctors one by one. One couldn’t hear what they talked about but after about an hour, Ronan walked back to join them with a relieved smile on his face.

"Guys, it’s here!" Kade’s voice rang before he entered the flat with a huge box in his hand, gaining everybody’s attention.
