Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 207

Hayden eyes widened in surprise at my words and his expression seemed to soften. It was like the sun started to shine through the dark stormy clouds and then the dark grey clouds started to disperse. His eyes glanced over at the puppy on my lap once more before he grinned while I prayed that the puppy’s life would be spared.

“If you say so…” Hayden muttered.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The puppy was a surprising gift for sure, but it wasn’t like I disliked it. I’ve been feeling quite lonely being in the mansion all alone during the day so having this little guy with me might not be a bad thing after all. Now that I think about it, I’ve been assuming that it’s a male. Is it even a male?

The fastest way to find out is just to check. I lifted the puppy up in front of my face to check out its gender. It’s still so young and so small so it wasn’t hard to lift up. I wondered how big it’ll get. I should spend some time tonight doing some research on the breed. Did Hayden buy any dog food or toys for it?

“What are you doing?” Hayden asked and I could feel that he was watching me.

“Seeing if it’s a girl or a boy,” I replied.

“It’s a boy. I wanted to get you a girl but he’s the only one available right now…” Hayden replied.

“There’s nothing bad about having a male dog. I’m honestly neutral between the two sexes,” I said before flashing Hayden a smile.

“I don’t know…” Hayden muttered, unconvinced.

It seemed like he wasn’t thrilled with having a male puppy.

“You don’t like male dogs?” I asked curiously.

“I don’t know. It just feels…weird to have…never mind that,” Hayden said before he turned away from me.

I wondered what he was trying to say but I decided not to push him. It probably wasn’t anything important anyways. Plus, even if he doesn’t like the puppy now, I’m sure that Hayden will start to like this little guy soon enough. How can anyone not like him, he’s so fluffy, soft and cute!

“You should give it a name,” Hayden said matter-of-factly.

“You’re right. Hmm…” I replied in agreement.

I’ve never had a pet before. My parents just didn’t allow it although I’ve always wanted a pet of some kind. They thought that dogs and cats were too much bother for us to take care of and they were too convinced that I would be too irresponsible to take care of it. In the end, it was better that I didn’t have a pet. Thing were rough enough when I lost my parents without me having to take care of another life.

This was a completely new experience for me, and I never thought that coming up with a name for a pet would be so difficult. What should I name him? He’s such a cute little guy…

I glanced over at Hayden and an idea started to form in my head.

“What about Little Hayden?” I suggested with a smile.

“That’s…a very bad name,” Hayden said as his eyes narrowed at me.

It was clear that he didn’t like the name and he didn’t think that it was funny either.

“Huh? Why? I think it’s so cute!” I said excitedly.

Regardless of what he thought, I still thought that my idea wasn’t bad. The name was cute too.
