Chapter 15: Burning down his house
Ella's heart dropped.
Ella realized that all the convincing she did still did not amount to her freedom.
He could get her the phone but he would not let her out.
Adrian was a paranoid person and her constant efforts to escape him had only made his paranoia further severe.
If she aggravated him further, she would probably be pushed back to square one.
''I... was just asking...'' she mumbled and focused on eating.
Seeing the listlessness on her face, Adrian's face hardened. The entire air around him was suffocating.
The happiness that she radiated when she was making pancakes and watching him try it had long disappeared and even though her expressions were not of the hatred that she spared him before, it still made her feel distant to him.
There were sounds of approaching footsteps at this moment and the stiff atmosphere around the table was interrupted by Ji Yan who walked in with a few people.
