Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 171

“Sorry, I’m not trying to stress you out or anything like that. I was just curious, that’s all,” Hayden said reassuringly before he smiled at me.

I haven’t gotten used to this version of the nice and proper Hayden yet. Although, it was a nice and relaxing change to how he usually is. Sometimes, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was just a front that he’s put up to hide how he really feels.

I bet he knows that Ethan came to see me, and we spent a quite a long time alone together in the classroom. So why is he being so soft and nice?

‘Be careful, Malissa’ warned the tiny voice inside of my head.

“It’s ok. Thanks for worrying about me. So many things have been going on lately and I know that I’m behind on getting my act together…” I replied, hoping that he would drop this topic.

Talking about the future, I wonder what Hayden has in mind for his future. He was so against taking over Torex but lately he seems to have changed his mind. I remember the boss telling me that Hayden will end up taking over but will that really happen? The truth was, for the two gangs to join together, Hayden needs to take over his gang as the new boss.

Suddenly, the task of uniting the gang became that much harder. I glanced over at the calm and collected version of Hayden that was sitting opposite me as the candlelight flickered in his pale blue eyes and wondered what he was thinking.

“You haven’t been eating. Does the food not suit your tastes?” Hayden asked from across the table.

I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts to appreciate the food or put anything in my mouth.

“It’s great but I think I’ve had enough for the night,” I replied before smiling.

“Shall we head back?” Hayden asked.

I nodded in agreement. If I wanted to ask him about his decision to take over the mafia group, then I need to ask him somewhere private. The restaurant with people sitting at the tables next to us wouldn’t do. Maybe when he’s back at my place, I could muster up the courage to ask him. What if he refuses to take over? What do I do then?

Ethan isn’t going to back down easily and he’s so insane and delusional that it’s crazy. My head was filled with negative thoughts with every step that I took while Hayden escorted me to his car. After leaving the restaurant, Hayden didn’t say a word to me and that gave me time to think. I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts that when I looked up, I realized that this didn’t seem to be the way back to my place.

Suddenly, I felt slightly panicked. Was Hayden taking another route? If I’m not wrong, this seems to be the opposite direction to my place. Where is he taking me?

“Umm…this isn’t the way back to my place, is it?” I asked in a sweet voice.

He was silent and I started praying that he would not snap at me or eat me up in the car. Literally.

“It’s not,” Hayden replied bluntly.
