Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 266

“I see…” I muttered as my mood immediately darkened.

It wasn’t like I was overwhelmingly disappointed or anything like that. In the back of my mind, I did consider that Harvey wouldn’t tell me. If I wanted to know then…

“You have to ask Hayden yourself,” Harvey said as if completing my thought for me.

“I figured…” I said before letting out a long sigh.

If only it was an easy task to extract information from Hayden, then I wouldn’t find myself in this kind of situation so often. I didn’t exactly draw a good hand in this round because Hayden wouldn’t even show his face to me anymore. Even if I wanted to ask him, I couldn’t because he wasn’t here for me to ask.

“Don’t look so depressed, Malissa. This room…I know it might be a little twisted and creepy for you but you’re probably the little treasure that Hayden wants to keep safe right now,” Harvey said warmly.

Me? His treasure?

Honestly, I’ve never thought of it that way.

“Are you trying to comfort me?” I asked with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

Harvey laughed a little to himself at my words before he smiled sweetly at me. I had to say that he had a very charming smile. Without a doubt he must be very popular with the girls.

“Maybe. You see, my little brother gave me an annoying lecture and because of that I felt slightly bad for what I’ve done,” Harvey admitted with an over-the-top depressing sigh.

“Really?” I asked, trying not to sound sarcastic.

“Well, it’s lonely living alone in the world of the dead, you know. Now, I’m less lonely because I have you with me on this side,” Harvey said a little excitedly.

“What do you mean…exactly?” I asked as I stared hard at him.

“We can’t meet or talk to anyone. We can’t go out. It’s like we don’t exist in the real world anymore. You and me, we’re in a very similar situation now,” Harvey explained quite happily.

I guess he was happy that now he had a ‘friend’ who shared his circumstances. However, I couldn’t say that I shared any of his joy.

“Aha…” I mumbled.

“I’ll visit you again so that you won’t get lonely so let’s be friends, ok?” Harvey suggested with a bright smile.

For a moment, he looked like a teenager, and I was stunned at the sudden transformation.

“I don’t want to be your friend…” I stated bluntly.

“I can understand where you’re coming from. What about this? If you agree to be my friend, I’ll bring an album of Hayden childhood photos. What do you say?” Harvey readily offered a trade.

I had to say that what he was offering was extremely tempting. After getting a glimpse of how cute and pretty Hayden was when he was a boy from that one photo that I saw in his living room, I wanted to see more photos of him when he was younger. Harvey smirked at me, and I knew that he could read what I was thinking again.

Do my thoughts truly show on my face just like that?

“I guess we already have a deal,” Harvey said with utmost satisfaction.
