Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 125

My grandmother fell asleep soon after our conversation ended. I realized that she was indeed tired. Without realizing it at first, I was starting to realize that she had started dozing off to sleep earlier each time that I visited. It was like she was constantly tired and had difficulty staying awake and active for long periods of time. I was concerned; however, I trusted the doctors to tell me if anything was seriously wrong.

I knew that my grandmother was old and according to the doctors, some treatment may be too harsh for her body. That meant that it was already great that she was in quite a stable condition. During my ride back to the penthouse, I wondered if Hayden was going to be there. Then I started asking myself if I wanted him to be there.

Although I was hesitant, the final answer that I got was that I wanted him to be there. I wanted to see Hayden. I wasn’t sure how to face him or what we would do or talk about but…I still wanted to see him. There’s only 7 days left so what’s the point of running and hiding at this point?

“Welcome back,”

Hayden greeted me immediately after I arrived back at the penthouse. He was sitting leisurely on the sofa like he had nothing to do. I wondered if he was waiting for me to come back. That couldn’t be, right?

“Have you had dinner?” I asked casually.

“No. I’ve been waiting for you. Dinner’s ready…” Hayden said as he got up from the sofa and led the way to the dining table.

He was right, dinner was ready and already laid out on the table. There’s too much food as usual. Auntie definitely went above and beyond to prep us an amazing dinner. I thanked her silently in my head as I took my seat opposite Hayden at the dining table.

Now that he was sitting right in front of me, I didn’t know what to say. I felt like there were many things that we needed to talk about, but no words would come to mind. Silently, we both started eating to kill the time. I glanced at him a couple of times as I stuffed food into my mouth. Hayden was eating patiently like nothing was bothering him at all.

“There’s seven days left,” Hayden spoke up suddenly after he placed his utensils down on his plate.

His words took me by surprise. I never thought that he would be the one to speak up first. Neither did I expect him to know with so much accuracy the number of days that were left in the contract. I guess, I wasn’t the only one that had been keeping track.

“Yeah...you’re right,” I replied softly.

I felt my brows knitting together and realized that I had started frowning at the thought of our contract coming to an end in a week’s time. Contrary to me, Hayden just smiled and began laughing softly. He seemed so carefree that I was jealous.

“There’s no need to overthink things…” Hayden said casually.

“What do you mean…by that?” I asked, not sure how to take his carefree attitude and words.

“Nothing special. Let’s just act normal like we’ve always done until time runs out, ok?” Hayden proposed before smiling warmly at me.

“…Ok” I replied in short because I couldn’t come up with anything else to say.
