Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Men with Egos

“When he found out that you were missing, he began looking for you right away. With his help, we were

able to locate you in a very short time,” Hayden told me solemnly.

“I see…” I whispered.

“Thanks to that, the boss has been reconsidering the relationship between Torex and Silva,” Hayden Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

disclosed brightly before he smiled at me.

“Wow. Really?” I asked with widened eyes.

“Well, it’s not that easy but at least the old man is thinking about it. Surprisingly, the most difficult part is

Ethan and his big ego,” Hayden said with a small chuckle.

“What does that mean?” I asked, not sure what exactly that meant.

“He’s having a hard time accepting help from Torex as a reward for helping you. He says that he would

have helped you regardless…and that is starting to piss the old man off…” Hayden explained.

“Was that what you two were discussing?” I asked curiously.

“Pretty much…” Hayden muttered.

“What will you do? Can you help convince Ethan to…be more cooperative? I mean, he’s the one who

wants a partnership between Torex and Silva, right?” I asked, daring to be hopeful that some progress

will be made.

Hayden turned and gave me a pointed look before he closed his eyes and sighed. For a moment, he

looked very tired and bored of everything that was going on in the world. I could still recall the look he

gave me when he confessed to me that he hated his job. I guess that feeling has never really

dissipated at all from his mind.

“Stop pressuring your dear husband so much, wife…” Hayden murmured in complaint.

“I’m not pressuring you…or at least, I don’t think that I am…” I quickly corrected.

Hayden narrowed his eyes at me before shaking his head like he didn’t want to deal with any of my

nonsense anymore. I honestly never thought that there would be any silver lining attached to my recent

kidnapping. The situation looked so bad, and Hayden even got injured because of it. Despite all that,

there seemed to be some good that came out of it. Probably because Ethan and his gang helped out in

my rescue, the boss now seemed more agreeable to some kind of partnership. Hayden’s attitude

towards Ethan seemed to have improved as well although I doubt that he would be willing to admit it

himself any time soon.

He let Ethan visit him in his hospital room. To me, that was a really big step forward. It was quite hard

for me to believe and wrap my head around, but it seemed like my unfortunate kidnapping has

somehow brought the two gangs closer. A union may not be just around the corner, but a few steps

forward was more than I could ever ask for.

“Thank you, Hayden…” I murmured before I smiled shyly at him.

“What are you thanking me for?” he asked before looking away from me.

Something told me that Hayden must have done something to help change the boss’s mind and

attitude regarding this issue. Of course, he probably won’t tell me about it. It wasn’t just Ethan who had

his pride and ego, Hayden probably had a lot of that as well.

“Umm…I don’t know…for everything that you’ve done, I guess…” I replied before offering him one of

my sweetest smiles.

Hayden gave me a slightly confused look before he shook his head slowly from side to side. I didn’t

want to be overly optimistic but at that moment, I truly believed that a more peaceful life was waiting for

us.

…

Tomorrow came and I didn’t remember the last time that I prayed and waited so eagerly for dawn to

arrive. Today is the day that Hayden and I can finally leave the hospital and go home. The doctor came

to check up on me bright and early in the morning just like I had requested. Not wanting to waste even

a single moment longer in the hospital, I had requested for my doctor to check up on me as early as

possible.

“You look very energetic today…” the doctor commented before he smiled warmly at me.

Of course, I was energetic. I was beyond excited to get out of this hospital room. I want to eat proper

food, sleep in a proper bed, and live a proper life with Hayden and Little Hayden back at the mansion. I

smiled a little to myself when I looked down at the diamond ring that Hayden had given me. Since

we’ve gotten married not much has changed between us and I was starting to wonder if this was

normal.

Since I have never been married before, I didn’t know what life was supposed to be like for a married

couple. I lived with Hayden in his mansion before we got married so there would probably be nothing

new there. Is it normal for there to be no change after we get married?

Probably not…right…?

“I’m looking forward to going back home with my husband,” I replied a little proudly.

Although Hayden didn’t have any difficulties in referring to me as his wife, it still felt very strange for me

to refer to Hayden as my husband. This was probably the first time that I referred to him as my

husband to someone else. The doctor didn’t react to it, but I felt heat rush to my face as I began

blushing. It’s going to take a while for me to get used to this. Maybe I’ll start seeing changes in our lives

when we finally make it out of the hospital.

Fortunately, the doctor found nothing wrong with me and I was ready to be discharged. I wanted to

jump up and down with joy, but I knew that I had to hold it in. Auntie arrived to help pack my things

along with a few maids and soon we were on our way back to the mansion.

Probably because of the recent incident, there were more bodyguards everywhere than normal. I

walked out of my hospital room to see Hayden already standing there waiting for me. I gasped in

surprise when I saw him. Hayden was dressed in his standard white suit, and I was reminded once

again of how handsome and princely he looks.
