Refusing the Love of a Mafia Boss

Butwhy? She's jealous of Ilina with Xavier?

"Ilina, don't you like it?"

Ilina shakes. He likes it and it doesn't matter.

Surprisingly Noah held Ilina's hand and suddenly looked gloomy. "If it's not good, don't push yourself. I'll make a new one."

Ilina tilted her face. Why is he so sensitive? "I ...."

No. gabe. Don't say something like that.

Don't praise him.

"I'm the one who should cook." Ilina brushed Noah's hand. "Go to work and don't mind me."

"Ilina's."

"I don't want you to interfere in my affairs." Ilina looked at. "Be quiet as you always do. Aren't you pretending you can't do anything?"

Actually Ilina didn't mean to be cold. He was fine if Noah interfered or did not interfere.

But he wants to know how Noah's obsession will move in rebellion.

He's still pretending. He still had the wall around him.

Maybe because he had lived in that boredom long ago, so Noah naturally could not escape.

But he had to get out of there if he wanted Ilina to really see what she was like.

"There's something I have to say."

Xavier closed the door to Tabios' room with his foot before he even got permission to enter the cousin's room.

Lately Bella often follows him, because there is not much they can do in confinement and restrictions.

The boy doesn't need to know what Xavier is going to do. Because maybe it's something that's gonna hurt him very deeply.

In there, Tabios gasped. Just had a shower and hadn't even taken off the bathrobe when Xavier came.

"What?" he asked in the midst of wonder.

"Go quietly."

"What's? Where to?" Not exactly Tabios understood.

"Uncle."

"true."

"You crazy?"

"I guess." Xavier smiles.

That made Tabios flinch, as Xavier hardly ever smiled without cause since his mother left.

Maybe it's the change of a child left behind by his first lover. The old Xavier, though cold and annoying, still looks human thanks to his mother.

He knows how to laugh, how to smile and be warm.

But the death of his mother took away Xavier's smile. He follows Benedict's footsteps according to his mother's message and lives as a heartless man except only for Bella.

Seeing him smile, it was strange. There was much that Tabios wanted to ask, but he thought of something.

"Is Bella with me?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because Bella is my father's daughter and my sister's daughter."

That answer hints at what Tabios was thinking.

"Xavi."

"Go." Xavier's approaching. Patting Tabios on the shoulder and returning a faint smile. "I'll say this. Kill yourself if there's a grudge there."

The breath of Tabios hunts. Just fixated on being unable to move until Xavier leaves, leaving a final message.

You fool, whispered Tabios annoyed. But nothing can be done when Xavier himself has decided.

Ilina slept faster tonight. Different from yesterday, he and Noah did not sleep cuddling.

It seemed like she decided to sleep on the bottom sofa while Ilina slept on the top bed.

But at night, Ilina is awakened by the soft sound of singing over the piano melody. Suddenly, Ilina sat down. Peering from the edge of the bed that does not leave anything but a glass barrier, until it is easy for Ilina to see Noah sitting in front of the piano.

Ilya doesn't know much about music. But when he was a child, Mahesa several times sang melodies of classic songs for him.

The song tells the story of a girl who seduces a man, but leaves the man she has seduced in a deep sense alone.
