Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 279

“I know that. Sorry for putting you and Malissa through this. I’m such a selfish brother…” Harvey apologized sadly.

“You are…but I don’t mind,” Hayden quickly replied.

“Thank you, Hayden…” Harvey thanked his brother warmly.

Hayden didn’t know what to say anymore so he just nodded at his brother. The conversation died down, but it seemed like Harvey wanted to discuss something else. Hayden waited patiently for his brother to start the conversation that they couldn’t keep avoiding anymore.

“About Ethan’s request to meet with you and Malissa, what will you do?” Harvey asked as his eyes stared sharply at Hayden.

“I won’t allow it. I won’t let the two of them meet even if I’m present,” Hayden replied without a second thought.

“Even if she wants to meet him?” Harvey challenged.

“Why would she want to meet him? She has no reason to,” Hayden snapped back as a frown formed between his brows.

Harvey could tell that he was rubbing Hayden the wrong way; however, this issue concerned more than Hayden’s relationship with Malissa, and he couldn’t afford to back down from this.

“I hate how you’re not telling Malissa anything and I’m sure that she hates not knowing anything,” Harvey expressed his concern.

“If I tell her too much, she’ll get herself more than half killed just like Amelia…or worse…” Hayden retorted.

“How long are you planning to keep her locked up down there?” Harvey asked as he quirked a brow at Hayden.

“Not long…” Hayden replied vaguely.

“Don’t you think you’re overreacting about all this? I know you were mad at her for entering my wing of my mansion but the real reason you locked her up is because you’re scared that she’ll get in touch with Ethan, right?” Harvey stated his educated guess.

“He did ask to see her. That crazy bastard…” Hayden muttered darkly.

“I hate the Silvas and if I was the way I was before I met Amelia, I would annihilate them by force. However, I think you should talk to Ethan and see what he really wants,” Harvey suggested with a serious look on his face.

“I already know what he wants,” Hayden stated with certainty.

“That spoiled boy doesn’t want me to head Torex. He was the happiest when I supposedly died. Ethan was always fond of the idea of his friend taking over Torex,” Harvey said before grinning at Hayden.

“I was never fond of that idea…” Hayden replied.

“Peace between the two gangs led by the two boys that he chose. That was the dream that Jack had. It doesn’t hurt to hear Ethan out. Maybe Torex can benefit from some mini peace treaty so that we can move on and focus more on raking in cash,” Harvey said dreamily.

“Always the businessman, aren’t you?” Hayden teased, although he was half serious.
