Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 27: Deliberate Approach to Her!

Ella walked into the restaurant at lunchtime and found Brandon sitting right next to her spot. She couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Recalling his hypocritical demeanor from her past life, Ella instantly lost her appetite.

"Miss Ella, come and have a meal," Brandon stood up immediately upon seeing her approach, smiling politely.

Ella nodded indifferently, "Alright, let’s eat together."

Seeing that Ella finally acknowledged him, Brandon felt a mix of joy and excitement.

Conquering the icy beauty—wasn’t that something every guy dreamed of trying?

Brianna and Hannah exchanged glances, a trace of coldness flickering in their eyes. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Hannah felt a pang of discomfort at her boyfriend’s excitement. Even though she had decided to give up on Brandon, he was still her boyfriend in name.

Hannah had once told him that he could pretend to be interested, but he shouldn’t really fall for anyone else.

However, if Brandon truly fell for Ella, wouldn’t that give her a perfect excuse to break up?

"Ella, this meal was prepared by Brandon. Look, these are all dishes you like. Give them a try," Brianna said with a gentle smile.

"Brandon can cook?" Ella raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, I started doing housework when I was eight!" Brandon said modestly.

"Exactly, Brandon is a multi-talented genius. He can play the piano, paint, cook, and do housework. He’s not just talented, he’s perfect husband material!" Hannah quickly praised.

Ella merely smiled coldly. Only she knew that in her previous life, she never did any housework before marriage.

After marrying Brandon, her foolish self thought that doing everything herself was the best way to show her love.

Brandon enjoyed it without lifting a finger, and she naively thought he would be moved. How laughable.

Ella took a bite of the steak, her expression indifferent. "Hmm, it’s alright."

Hannah and the others expected Ella to praise the meal, but her reaction was unexpectedly lukewarm!

Brandon felt a twinge of disappointment.

He had put his best effort into this meal, but Ella seemed completely unmoved.

Brianna remained calm, while Hannah looked slightly disappointed but still spoke gently, "Sister, didn’t you always want to take piano lessons? Why not have Brandon teach you?"

"Yes, Brandon’s piano skills are at level nine. Having him as your teacher would surely be beneficial," Brianna said, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ella shook her head, "Forget it. That was just an old idea. I’m not really suited for it now. My sister has a better temperament for it; she should learn instead."

Hannah’s lips twitched, her emotions unreadable. "Sister, learning the piano is nice. You could teach your children in the future."

"There will naturally be better piano teachers for that, right, Brandon?" Ella smiled faintly, her words layered with meaning.

Her words gave Brandon a sense of defeat. At school, he was always the center of attention, admired for his talents and handsome appearance, with countless admirers.

But Ella was the first girl to treat him so coldly.

Brianna cleared her throat, signaling Hannah to hold back.

"If Ella doesn’t want to learn, don’t force her. Forced efforts are never sweet. Ella, is there any subject you want to catch up on? Maybe Brandon can help," Brianna asked with a smile.

"I don’t need any extra lessons right now. I’m confident about my college entrance exams!" Ella replied with a smile.

In her past life, Chloe had dragged Ella into late-night study sessions after failing to get into her dream college. The current Ella still remembered all that knowledge.

Brianna and Hannah exchanged surprised looks.

"Sis, your previous exam scores were less than ideal. Aren’t you a bit overconfident now?" Hannah couldn’t resist a sarcastic remark.

Ella’s grades had always been among the lowest in the class because she only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun, with no interest in studying.

"I’ll surprise everyone!" Ella lifted her perfect chin confidently, smiling faintly.

Brianna and Hannah shared a smile, "That’s great, aim for Harvard!"

Hannah joked, but Ella remained unfazed.

Getting into college was a piece of cake for her. With her exceptional memory, she was determined to get into a top university this year and slap Brianna and Hannah in the face!

After this conversation, the atmosphere turned a bit tense. Brandon started talking about his experiences with outdoor sketching, which lightened the mood.

After lunch, Ella received a call from Robert, informing her that the accident from last time had been resolved; the other party was a drunk driver. Ella didn’t care much about it.

Brianna was smart; she wouldn’t make a move against Ella before Robert secured her shares.

Next, Chloe called, inviting Ella for a walk in the park.

The downtown zoo was a place Ella often visited in her past life, so she agreed without hesitation.

Ella quickly went upstairs, changed her clothes, grabbed her small bag, and left without even putting on makeup.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she ran into Brandon.

"Ella, I don’t have to teach Hannah piano today. How about we take a walk around the campus?" Brandon smiled gently, dressed in white and looking sunny and handsome. In her past life, Ella was deceived by this very image.

Ella shook her head coldly, "Thanks for the offer, but I’ve already made plans to go shopping with a friend."

Brandon’s face stiffened instantly. He hadn’t expected that even taking the initiative wouldn’t move Ella.

"How about we join you and your friend?" Brandon smiled, "Hannah and I have nothing else to do. It’s good for young people to interact more."

Ella’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile, "My sister is great. You should focus more on her, Senior. I’m not interested in you!"

Seeing Brandon’s face, the hatred in Ella’s heart surged like a roaring river, and her overwhelming disdain and sarcasm were almost impossible to conceal.

Brandon’s face turned grim as he stared at Ella in shock, unable to understand why her eyes were filled with such loathing.
