Refusing the Love of a Mafia Boss
37. You're Adorable

Ilina didn't ask much where Noah was taking her. They drove long enough for Ilina to sleep for some time, but woke up as soon as Noah wanted to carry her back.

"I can walk."

The man kept holding her. "I know you're hurt, Lia."

Again. He pretended as if Ilina was Lia and Lia was not Ilina.

The man led him into a three-story building whose two floors below seemed crowded by people.

Ilina didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be some kind of restaurant or cafe-like facility.

Noah climbed through the back door. Using the stairs that lead them directly to the third floor, a place almost similar to an apartment, but wider.

The interior of her room was rather unique in Ilina's eyes. Noah climbed the iron stairs to take Ilina to a high mattress, then he went down to go back up with a basin filled with warm water.

"Your partner is blue." Noah carefully wiped his rancid-smelling hand.

Does he want to play 'forget what we saw and pretend we don't know each other'?

Is he not bored?

"You used me." Ilina doesn't want to play Noah's game. "I'm not asking you to appreciate me. I said, you used me which means you don't care about me."

"...."

"Now you're asking me to look at you and drool over my body?"

Noah paused for a moment. But he went back to wiping without replying to Ilina's words.

"I don't hate your way."

Really am. Ilin liked how this guy moved.

First he dumped dirt on Ilina, then pretended to be a victim. In the middle of the road she likes Ilina, and now attracts her to have Ilina.

Selfish people who are truly selfish.

The real person is kind of like Ilina.

The handsome guy is hatching. Directly cupped Ilina's hand to touch her cheek longer.

"But I can't be with you" he whispered with a satisfied smile.

Noah opened his eyes. It looked like it wanted to kiss her but stopped a few inches from Ilina's lips. "What do I do to make you want me too, Ilina?"

He finally stopped. It's quite sickening to be theatrical at all times.

"Does it look like I need something to change my mind?"

Noah's fingertips moved smoothly on his neck skin. She was clearly seducing Ilina, even though she was disguising it by stopping at the back of the hand. Acting innocent even though in the head always harassing Ilina.

Crazy obsession. Ilina saw that very clearly from Noah's eyes.

"I ...." Noah tried to catch his breath. She always looked claustrophobic whenever she looked at Ilina. "I wanted to buy your eyes that day."

That day?

"I'm on fire, Ilina. You hugged the candy Mahesa gave and looked so innocent to like it. From then on, I secretly thought, do I have to eliminate all the candy in the world for you to stop smiling for that person? How do I get rid of the candy in your hand?"

Ilina simply stared intently at the tip of Noah's fingers on her lips.

"But then I thought. Instead of eliminating candy, why don't I give you something else? Then I tried it. I gave you things you might like. But you threw it away with your adorable cold face."

Turns out he knows.

"I .. don't mind the way you look at me."

Noah's forehead pressed gently against his forehead.

"I don't even mind if you step on me."

"...."

"You're adorable, Ilina."
