Chapter 163: Holding a Funeral

Emanuele couldn't help but tightly grip Isabella's waist, forcing her to lie in his embrace "Isabella, can you please stop always making me angry?" Emanuele gritted his teeth. At this moment, he genuinely loved and hated Isabella. “You're angry again?" Isabella was somewhat surprised and also very helpless.

She couldn't understand why Emanuele's emotions were so unstable, getting angry for no apparent reason. She had only repeated what Emanuele had said to her before. He was the one who had talked about killing her, so why was he angry now?
