Chapter 91: Can I Continue Kissing You?

After Isabella's words, she turned her head to the side, as if she didn't want to see Emanueleanymore.

Emanuele, however, held Isabella's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. Isabella felt tormented.

"Since you don't like me and only want a wife's role to face your enemies together, why me? Whynot someone else?"

She couldn't comprehend why Emanuele, if he didn't like her, had chosen to marry her. With hischarisma, he could have any woman he wanted with a snap of his fingers. Yet he specifically choseher.

Was it because he saw her interest in him? Did he want to play with her?

Isabella regretted. She shouldn't have agreed to become Emanuele's bride yesterday.

"Isabella, if I truly didn't care about you, do you think you could marry me?" Emanuele let go ofIsabella and stood up.

Isabella was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Emanuele's hand reached for Isabella's neck, stroking her skin, feeling her pulse beneath it. Hetugged at his lips, speaking softly, "Isabella, I don't just marry any woman. Marrying you means I'minterested in you. Don't you understand?"

Interested? Isabella remembered what Emanuele had said earlier, about how he hadn't finishedhaving fun with her, which was why he couldn't bear for her to leave with Clark to Canada. She

figured he would discard her once he grew tired of her.

At that moment, Emanuele let go of Isabella, walked to the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of water todrink.

Isabella also felt exhausted. She had intended to go upstairs, take a shower, and rest.

But she hadn't anticipated that Emanuele would follow her. He grasped her hand and pressed heragainst the nearby wall. His entire body pressed against hers.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy?" He had spoken to this point; didn't Isabella understand?

"Happy, of course, I'm happy." Isabella reached up, circling her arms around Emanuele's neck, aseductive smile on her face. No matter what, their game had been ongoing, and she couldn't affordto lose.

Isabella stood on her tiptoes and kissed Emanuele's lips. The man hesitated for a moment but thenheld her head, deepening the kiss. His tongue explored her mouth, devouring her sweetness, tryingto consume every bit of her aura.

But soon, Isabella pulled away from Emanuele's embrace, looking into his eyes, which were filledwith desire and a hint of confusion. She playfully raised the corner of her lips.

"I think, perhaps if I have some time, I can go out? I don't want to stay in the apartment all the time."

Was she negotiating with him? Emanuele suppressed his desires and nodded, "You can, but youmust take enough guards with you."

"Can I buy enough things to decorate this place the way I like?" Isabella smiled at Emanuele,feeling her mood had improved somewhat.

"You can buy whatever you want. Use the credit card as you please, as long as there's place in theapartment for what you want."

Emanuele spoke and reached for Isabella's cheeks, lowering his head so that their foreheadstouched, and their eyes met, noses inches apart. With each breath, their warm breath mingled,filling the air.

"So, can I continue kissing you now?"

Without waiting for Isabella's response, Emanuele captured her lips, his tongue delving in,devouring everything.

...

Emanuele kept his word, and the very next day, he surprised Isabella by taking her out for somerelaxation.novelbin

Isabella found this unexpected, considering she had to wait for a while.

"Are you ready?" Emanuele leaned against the wardrobe, watching Isabella with joy as she flutteredabout the closet, picking her outfit as if she cherished this outing.

"I've never had this many clothes before. It's enough to open a clothing store," Isabella said whilesifting through the outfits. She finally decided on a light blue floral sundress. It had short sleeves,cinched at the waist, and flared out at the skirt. Isabella paired it with silver high heels made of shinymaterial, reminiscent of Cinderella's glass slipper. She also combed her long hair, giving it morevolume and curls.

Emanuele stood by the closet, hands crossed over his chest, playfully observing Isabella.

"Very beautiful, sweetheart. You look stunning just like that."

What mattered most was that her dress was not too revealing. It was a simple and modest style butstill accentuated Isabella's femininity.

Even so, Emanuele couldn't seem to take his eyes off Isabella. It was difficult to fathom the extent ofher allure to him. It was as if he orbited her like the Earth orbits the Sun.

Isabella felt elated to have Emanuele's appreciation.

Upon a closer look, she noticed Emanuele himself was dressed in a suit. Emanuele always lookedhandsome in casual attire, carrying an aura of danger. Yet when he wore a suit, he appearedrefined.

Isabella linked her arm with Emanuele's, and they left for their outing.

Even though she was aware that the outside world was perilous, remaining cooped up in theapartment all the time would drive her insane.

Emanuele and Isabella first visited a mall. She had bought enough clothing the previous day, buther collection of accessories was limited. Emanuele provided her with some jewelry, hats, and belts.

After shopping, Emanuele decided they should go out for dinner.

Phillip suggested, "The restaurant's already chosen, it's an Italian one."

Isabella looked at Emanuele, who responded, "Isn't that your favorite? You've been there with Clarkbefore."

Isabella was surprised that he remembered such a distant event.

For some reason, the way Emanuele spoke made her feel like he was jealous.

The restaurant was small, with only a few tables. At that moment, only two tables had diners. WhenEmanuele and Isabella entered, two men at one of the tables fixed their gaze on her. The man onthe left stared blatantly at her chest and legs, which made Isabella uncomfortable. However, somemen always seemed to undress women with their eyes. Despite her discomfort, Isabella endured it.

"What would you like to eat?" Emanuele led Isabella to their table and called the waiter to placetheir order.

"I'd like a bacon and tomato pasta," Isabella said.

Emanuele ordered several dishes.

While waiting for the food, Isabella couldn't help but feel the men's unabashed gazes. Theirlecherous eyes made her wonder if they had already stripped her naked in their minds.

Isabella felt increasingly uneasy.

Suddenly, Emanuele got up and headed toward the two men.

Isabella had a bad feeling and grabbed Emanuele's sleeve. "Emanuele, please sit down and let'senjoy our meal."

"Wait a moment, I have something to attend to," Emanuele brushed off Isabella's hand on his sleeveand proceeded towards the two men.

"Phillip, aren't you going to stop your boss?" Isabella was very concerned.

Phillip shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Isabella, those two jerks will pay for their behavior."

"Pay?" Isabella's heart raced, and she was left quite shaken.
