Refusing the Love of a Mafia Boss
26. Three Is the Limit

What's his name? Enjoy something dangerous and adrenaline-inducing? Is that some kind of man's pleasure that he missed during his life?

"Ilina Bumantara." Noah took a deep breath and stroked the former place where Lia was sleeping as if there were still many shadows of her there.

Did Noah make the wrong request? Shouldn't he say 'married to me'?

Noah chuckles. He felt a little crazy, but not drunk.

But the drunken feeling he had to get rid of for a moment when a strange sound was heard on the balcony of his room.

Noah rushes to his feet, finding an owl who is an alternative to sending his message down there with a piece of paper at his feet.

Noah's hand moved to caress Ola's head.

"Ilina," he whispered to the shadow on his own head. "I don't like vain concern either. Even if everyone were to die in front of me, I would never care much less help."

The owl was only a silent witness to Noah's whisper.

"Am I seen now?"

In Noah's head, Ilina's unfamiliar figure simply turned away as if answering yet and never will.

...*...

When a girl is in love, she will easily embarrass herself.

If you have to be honest, Ilina agrees. No matter what she is, Ilina knows what it's like to love a man and to care about him above all else, even sometimes ourselves.

But still because Ilina is not in the position of Marissa now, then she as an observer just felt sorry for the girl.

Though beautiful, the association must also be broad. Why fixate on the man whose smile is fake and all his words are fake?

Despite a fight and blatant Noah shows no concern for Marissa's opinion, the girl still comes to take care of Noah. Is it because Noah is so handsome that he can't resist?

"Hey."

Ilina did not look.

"I'm talking to you, Lia—or whatever your name is."

He just looked. Don't feel like you have to ask what's up.

Marissa's expression seemed to be trying hard to resist being annoyed by Ilina's attitude. But he took a breath and said, "I'll teach you how to adapt to the city, so follow my words later. Understood?"

No. gabe.

Ilina has never followed anyone in her entire life except her own words.

When people speak the truth, they follow it of their own will. Ilina's question, what is this?

"I don't know what you're thinking with that annoying face of yours but listen! Noah's relationship determined his career. The more people like him, the better he is in the public eye. I don't want you to trouble Noah, be a burden on his career while you should be useful to him. Understood?!"

Loadings.

Burden, huh?

Loadings.

Three times.

Three times is the limit.

"Good, Miss." Ilina smiled shadyly. "I won't bother."

Apparently he was surprised, but ignored him and left Ilina to go catch up with Noah.

Today Noah will indeed come out to perform at a live music event of one of the nightclubs. Because while he was limiting himself to television shows, Noah moved to accept offers to sing in live music.

Although Ilina does not know live music is what—ia only knows in language—inya she is not aired on television.

Ilina's condition was already good enough to be taken away.

While Noah dressed up assisted by Marissa, Ilina changed clothes with more modern clothes. She was given a knee-length dress whose top was open, supported only by a crossed strap around her neck.

It feels strange to see the shadow itself wearing clothes that are also foreign. But Ilina did not care much, combing her hair which was forbidden to braid the cup.

I can't wear glasses, he said.

Ilina sat waiting until they came out, then stood following without looking at their faces. His eyes couldn't see clearly, so what was it for?

In the car Ilina just stared glitteringly at the city lights while hearing Noah's voice humming. He seemed to have just been practicing, playing a voice that was indeed melodious and light.

For the voice, Ilina likes the sound of singing. Not annoying, not too flashy, sound comfortable.

Suddenly Ilina felt someone glancing at her. He spontaneously turned to Noah while driving, unable to see if he saw it or not.

She sings songs with foreign lyrics, but Ilina understands the meaning. Another flirt, huh?

Ilina felt there was no point in responding. He turned his face again, busy looking at the vehicle outside while continuing to hope they quickly went home.

Definitely boring.
