Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 173

My eyes dropped down to my lap when I no longer had the courage in me to meet Hayden’s eyes. The truth was that Ethan said many things. That didn’t mean that I believed in every single little thing that he said. The thing that I couldn’t bring up to Hayden was Ethan’s claim that he had a role in my parent’s death. I wasn’t sure if it was true but even if it was and the previous boss of Silva found my father through Hayden, I wasn’t sure if Hayden was to blame.

Precisely because I was unsure about my own feelings and thoughts, I didn’t want to bring that up to Hayden. If we had more time together, would Hayden come around to tell me about that by himself?

“Well? Why are you suddenly tongue-tied?” Hayden asked.

“He didn’t say anything much. Just like I told you before, he wants Torex and Silva to form a partnership…” I replied.

“So, he decided to ask you about that instead of talking to me?” Hayden surmised followed by a disgusted chuckle.

“I guess…” I mumbled softly.

“What do you think about that?” Hayden asked.

About Torex partnering with Silva? I think he asked me this before as well. I thought that it would be a good idea…I guess…

“It might be an idea worth thinking about…” I replied honestly.

“I wasn’t referring to the partnership. I wanted to know if you think you’re capable of convincing me…just like Ethan hopes that you can…” Hayden asked as his voice dropped into a low whisper.

“I…” I whispered before I trailed off.

The truth was, I wasn’t sure that I could convince Hayden or if anything could convince Hayden. Sometimes, just like now, I felt like he wasn’t willing to listen at all.

“Do you want to give it a try? A try at convincing me.” Hayden asked suggestively.

“What do you mean?” I questioned in a whisper.

“Didn’t Ethan tell you something along the lines of if you seduce me, you’ll be able to convince me?” Hayden asked but it sounded more like an accusation than a question.
