Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 218

“He really likes you…” I said with a smile.

Time for Little Hayden to earn some favor points so that he can keep his name and also his life. Hayden looked down at the puppy and sighed again. I wondered if he regretted getting the little thing and prayed that that wasn’t so.

“What did you want to show me?” Hayden asked.

“You bought dog toys, right? I was with Little Hayden earlier in the garden, but I was too busy working on my sketches, so he had to play all alone…” I mumbled.

“And?” Hayden urged to me to get to my point.

Well…

“I was just thinking that it’ll be nice if you could…you know…play with him a little outside. Of course, when you have the time like on the weekends…” I suggested hesitantly as I reached out a hand to stroke Little Hayden for some courage.

Hayden looked at me with an incredulous expression like I had asked for something quite crazy. Did I just ask for something that crazy? I started to doubt myself for a moment. Hayden stared at me for a moment longer before his gaze fell to the furry ball nuzzling close to his leg.

“Let’s take him out to the gardens when I’m home for the day,” Hayden finally replied in resignation.

“Thank you. I’m sure that Little Hayden will be so happy to play with you. Right, Little Hayden?” I said as I smiled at Hayden.

“I don’t really care if it makes him happy or not…” Hayden muttered.

Swiftly, his arm was around my back, and he had pulled me into a hug. My eyes widened in slight shock at his sudden embrace while I could feel his warm breath against my ear.

“Thank you, Hayden…” I whispered as I enjoyed the warmth of his hug.

…

A week past by not without incident. Little Hayden grew up fast and had adjusted to his life in the mansion. Despite Hayden’s disapproval, I managed to keep Little Hayden’s name. I honestly found it funny and quite convenient that both of them would respond to my call. Little Hayden behaved very well when he was with me but the same couldn’t be said when he was around Hayden. They were like two boys playing together. Sometimes they would get along and other times not really.

Overall, I found the dynamic between the two extremely entertaining. Regardless of Hayden’s initial doubt about keeping Little Hayden, it was undeniable now that those two had developed a bond and our lives were more adventurous with Little Hayden around.
