’Knock knock’
"Miss Yu... Miss Yu...!"
Ella rubbed her eyes when she heard the old Butler’s voice.
She was about to respond when she felt an arm snaking around her waist.
Her eyes widened immediately as her gaze trailed to the man who had his face buried in her chest.
She looked at Adrian in disbelief.
Last night, she did not remember when she lost all her sanity. She was not even conscious enough to send him back to his room.
Even though the Old Master and Old Madam now knew about their relationship, they had still prepared separate rooms for them. It meant that they wanted this to not be public.
And Ella had no problems with that.
But, now, if the butler realized that Adrian slept in her room—
’Knock knock’
"Miss Yu, are you awake yet? The old master and old madam are waiting for you for breakfast?"
Ella looked at the man who had his limbs thrown around her like the tentacles of the clingiest octopus.
And suddenly she felt like crying. Waiting for me for breakfast? Why are they waiting ah? Let them eat...
"Miss Yu..."
"Yes..." Ella’s voice came out like the buzz of a mosquito. It was as if her voice was no longer there in the picture.
Even speaking was hurting her throat. She wanted to thank the heavens that this room was initially Adrian’s room so it was situated in an isolated place, not quite surrounded by other rooms.
Or, she would have been sure that the entire mansion heard her last night.
Clearing her throat, Ella tried to speak louder, despite the pulsating pain in her throat, "Please ask them to not wait for me. I overslept a bit. It will take me some time to freshen up and go downstairs."
There was silence outside for some time and Ella wondered if the butler had left thinking she was sleeping or dilly-dallying.
But soon, his response came, "Miss Yu, the old master and old madam understand that you must be tired. They said you can take your time to get ready and come downstairs."
Once she heard the sound of his retreating footsteps, Ella’s head slumped back on the pillow.
"Adrian..." Ella mumbled and looked at the man who had his face buried in her chest.
Instead of waking up, he nuzzled his face on her skin, positioning it right between her breasts.
As he moved his face, she felt the short stubble on his face grazing her skin, rendering a ticklish sensation that was difficult to ignore.
"Adrian, get up..."
The man had no response.
Looking at him, she grew speechless.
From the knowledge of her previous life and this life, she was confident that nobody would dare to go knocking on his door till he stepped out. Unless something urgent happened.
Or else, it would have been public knowledge by now that the man spent the entire night in her room.
Ella tilted her head to the side and poked his face, "I see you are having quite a deep sleep... What did they say about you not sleeping properly?"
The man remained unresponsive.
Ella smiled, looking at his harmless sleeping face as his long lashes cast a shadow over his cheeks, "Why don’t you hire me as your doctor? I think I am doing a better job than Ronan, am I not...." she said teasingly.
’Poke poke poke poke’
His long lashes fluttered open and a pair of beautiful eyes locked onto Ella.
Ella’s finger froze mid-air, in the position of about to poke him again.
She cleared her throat and retracted her hand.
"Are you... seducing me?" Adrian squinted.
How was ’poking him’ equivalent to seducing him?
Ella wanted to argue with him but looking into his deep eyes and thinking of last night, she couldn’t muster a single word to squabble with him.
Even if she lifted a finger in his presence, Adrian would accuse her of seducing him at this point.
It was as if he had unleashed a completely different side of him that nobody was familiar with.
Ella cleared her throat, "The butler had come. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for us for breakfast. We should freshen up and leave the room separately so they don’t doubt anything—AH!"
