After reading chapter 88, I'm starting to see Ilay's feelings more. When he and his bro are talking and they realise MC is outside and probably heard their whole convo, Ilay looked terrified and was trembling. I think this was because the last time MC overheard one of his convos (with MC's uncle), MC went all "I hate you" and ran away from Ilay... and you can say what you want but clearly Ilay was mad not because he wanted to kill MC but because he, in his own sick way, cared for the MC and was mad that he didnt know where the MC was and couldnt be around the MC.
I think, since he was a little boy and answered that call with MC, he has always been curious about MC. Honestly, Ilay is crazy but the MC can handle him. Am I overlooking all the crap Ilay has put the MC through? No... but I'm here for a crazy and toxic ML... I also like how its a slow burn because that's realistic and I like the build up. Anyhoo, thats it from me.
