Chapter 159: He tagged along with her
Ever since the day Ella was reborn, she was aware of the fact that she had secrets that nobody could know. And she had made sure to keep those secrets safe.
What helped her was the fact that she had lost touch with the outside world for a long time so nobody would pick up on her changes.
And Ella thought that she had managed to fool the people around her as well.
It wasn’t until today when she realized how delusional she had been.
She made a couple of slip-ups along the way, like the day Ella told him it would take him a long time to reach the Main Mansion, even though she herself had never been to the main mansion before.
Yet, Adrian had not shown any reaction to it. And Ella was convinced that her act was top-notch.
But today, when he woke her up from her nightmare, held her in his arms and questioned—’What are you hiding’—Ella saw a conviction in his eyes.
One that she couldn’t get over as it told her that all along, Adrian had been suspicious of the changes in and around her.
It was laughable that she mistook Adrian’s indulgence for his ignorance.
After his question, Ella couldn’t gather any words in her vocabulary to answer him. No amount of sweet-talking excuses could clear the currents in the air between them.
So, she had muttered the only few words that she could muster at that point—’I am getting late for classes.’
