Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 233

“Little Hayden…” Hayden called the puppy before throwing the ball towards it.

Little Hayden jumped up and caught the ball in between his teeth. Before running around happily with the ball still in his mouth. He seems very happy. I hoped that Hayden would enjoy playing with Little Hayden more too. The two didn’t have much time to spend together and their relationship resembled more of a rivalry instead of companionship and they sometimes fought like dogs and cats. It was funny but a smoother relationship might be a little better.

The two ran around on the grass together while I planted myself down on a bench to watch under the shade. Hayden lifted Little Hayden up and began hugging him tightly. Was that a hug or a headlock? I wasn’t exactly sure. Was Little Hayden having fun or was he panicking? I couldn’t really tell.

Well, as long as no one ends up getting seriously hurt…

The weather was perfect for spending some time outside. If only I had some tea and some sweets like cake or something, life would be quite perfect indeed. I breathed in deeply, smelling the mix fragrance of the grass and flowers. It was a very peaceful moment, except…

“Get back here! Don’t just ignore the ball!” Hayden yelled loudly as he chased Little Hayden around the field.

Little Hayden ran faster before stopping to change directions and then he began to bark. Overall, it was a very hectic and loud scene. A stark contrast the peace that I had imagined but not an unpleasant sight. After a while, Little Hayden was panting so hard that I started wondering if he would get a heart attack. The little puppy lay flat on the grass with his tongue hanging out of its mouth. It was such a cute but very pitiful sight.

“That puppy is so loud…” Hayden muttered a complaint.

The bench shifted under his weight as he sat down next to me. Although he complained, it looked like he had some fun playing around with Little Hayden just now judging from how loud they both were.

“He’s a very cheerful one, isn’t he?” I asked before smiling at Hayden.

“He’s annoying…” Hayden muttered but I could tell that he wasn’t serious.

I glanced over at Hayden and smiled. Spending time leisurely with him and Little Hayden was very fun, and it made me feel warm and tingly inside. I enjoyed myself and we seemed very at peace. Everything was so perfect that I began to wonder if it was too good to be true. From my experience, if something seemed too good to be true, then it probably was. Just how long will our happiness last, I wondered. Just how long can we spend time together leisurely in the sun like this?

“Have you started on your commissions?” Hayden asked.

“I’ve contacted some clients for more details. Then I’ll have to send them a price quote and if they’re fine with it, then I’ll start right away,” I replied.

“Sounds good. Show me the price quote before you send them out,” Hayden instructed quite sternly.

“Umm…sure,” I replied, feeling a little confused.

“Knowing you, you’ll probably put some low figure as if your efforts aren’t worth anything. So, I’ll be making sure that you’re charging them enough,” Hayden explained without me needing to ask.

I was quite certain that his idea of ‘enough’ wasn’t the same as mine. More money wasn’t a bad thing. I could use some more financial independence. Right now, I’m basically living off of Hayden. Living in his place and all. If I could make more money, I can be more independent.

“Ok…but please don’t charge them something crazy. I’m still an amateur at this too…” I said hesitantly.

“Don’t underestimate yourself and your skills,” Hayden replied firmly.
