Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

The Change Between Them

“You’re curious why I came to see Hayden?” Ethan asked as if he could read my mind.

Since I couldn’t make a sound anymore, I just nodded my head softly at him instead. Something about

Ethan felt different but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what it was. As he continued laughing

softly at me, I stared at him in pure confusion. If I had to put it, I would say that for some reason Ethan

looked more approachable and friendly than before.

Did something…happen while I was sleeping for three days?

“Yes…what did you talk to Hayden about?” I managed to say in a shaky voice.

“You can ask him that yourself. You’re here to see him, right?” Ethan replied smoothly.

So, he’s not going to answer me after all. If I didn’t have any options left, then I’ll just ask Hayden about

it. Something really seems off but hopefully it wasn’t something bad.

“Congratulations on your marriage,” Ethan said before he smiled warmly at me.

The way his green eyes held mine told me that his words were sincere, and I found myself smiling a

little back at him before I nodded my head in acknowledgement. In another life and on another timeline,

I might have ended up marrying this man in front of me right now. Back then, I honestly thought that we This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

had a fair shot at a future together. My smile grew wider when I realized that I did not regret anything

that happened or any choices that I’ve made.

“Thank you, Ethan,” I replied.

“This is for you. Take it as a very delayed wedding present,” Ethan said as he reached into the pocket

of his suit.

I hadn’t expected that he would have a present for me. My eyes widened further in surprise when he

handed me a neatly folded envelop. A letter?

“Thank you…” I thanked him again as I reached for the envelop and took it from his outstretched hand.

“Read it when you’re alone. Take care and I’ll see you around,” Ethan said before he walked right past

me.

I turned as my gaze watched his back. He left so suddenly that I didn’t have the chance to ask him

more about this letter or anything else that was going on. Ethan did say that he’ll see me around. Did

he mean that?

My eyes returned to the small envelop that I held in my hand as I wondered what was so important in

here that I had to read it when I was alone. With Ethan gone, I was reminded of my original purpose of

coming here to Hayden’s room. I want to see Hayden.

This letter can wait until later, I shoved it into the pocket of my hospital gown before I pushed the door

to Hayden’s hospital room opened and walked in. In the end, I realized that I didn’t end up knocking on

his door. Hayden was awake on his bed and the way he smiled at me when I walked in told me that he

must have been expecting me.

“Did you run into Ethan just now?” Hayden asked.

“Yes, I did,” I replied truthfully because I was sure that he already knew the answer to his question

anyways.

As usual, I sat on the side of his bed and Hayden immediately wrapped his arm around my waist. His

warmth enveloped me, and I found myself smiling in bliss. I wondered again when we could leave the

hospital. I asked Auntie and the doctor who came to see me so many times, but their replies were

always vague.

“When can we get out of here?” I asked Hayden.

“Tomorrow if the boss doesn’t change his mind,” Hayden replied before he flashed me a comforting

smile.

“Really?” I asked excitedly.

“Really. I told him that I’m bored out of my mind being stuck here in this room…” Hayden complained.

“I want to go back to the mansion…” I murmured.

After trying so hard to make it out of there, I couldn’t quite believe that I was looking forward to going

back there. Anything was better than the hospital right now in my opinion. Hayden’s wound had healed

up very well according to him and his doctor while I felt so healthy that I felt like I was wasting my

youthful life away in my hospital room.

“I’m sure that we can leave tomorrow. So, you better say your goodbyes to your doctor and your

nurses,” Hayden replied as his hand began stroking the small of my back.

His touch felt comforting, and it made me feel warm inside. I love being close to him. Just being beside

him or in the same room made me unbelievably happy.

“I can’t wait to go back home with you…” I murmured softly.

It was a strange feeling but before I realized it, Hayden’s mansion had become my home. There wasn’t

another place that I really wanted to go back to right at that moment. Hayden’s soft caressed against

my back felt so comforting that the important questions that I had to ask him almost slipped from my

mind completely.

“Hayden…why did Ethan come to see you?” I asked before I turned to stare into his beautiful blue

eyes.

My thought that the question must have been a hard one to answer seemed to be completely off.

Hayden seemed very relax about discussing the topic with me and I couldn’t sense a change in the

atmosphere around him. He just looked at me before his lips curved into a small smile.

“Why are you always so curious?” Hayden teased me before he chuckled softly.

“Please…tell me…” I pleaded softly.

“Nothing much, really. When you were gone, I thought that Ethan took you, so he was the first person

who I went to first,” Hayden told me with a grin.

“Oh…” I murmured in understanding.

Well, if I were him, I would probably suspect Ethan first too, so I didn’t blame Hayden for getting it

wrong. Although, Ethan really wouldn’t use any serious force against me.
