Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 313

Even if I wanted to marry him, how would he react and what would happen if I told him?

I had 7 days left now before the boss came back again for his answer and time was ticking by without pause. That reminded me that I also never got around to telling Hayden about this father’s abrupt visit to his bedroom to see me earlier in the day. If Hayden found out the boss’s visit this morning, he didn’t mention it to me. I wondered if he already knew and if he did, what did he think about it?

I can’t read his expressionless face at all. What he was feeling or thinking, I had absolutely no idea.

“Do you want to marry me?” Hayden asked again, rephrasing his questions as if helping me to better understand him.

That wasn’t the reason why I didn’t reply to his question. I understood him perfectly, I just didn’t know how to reply. I had no idea what to say and my throat and lips suddenly felt as dry as the desert. I could feel Hayden’s intense gaze staring at me and that only made me panic even more.

“Do you…want to marry me?” I asked him the same question that he had asked me.

However, unlike Hayden’s cold tone and emotionless tone, my voice shook terribly as I said those words. I realized that I wasn’t hesitant about it but I was extremely scared to hear his answer.

“Does it matter?” Hayden replied without even pausing to think.

“Excuse me?” I asked in shock.

What does that even mean? Of course…it matters…

“I’m asking if my answer will influence yours,” he explained casually.

Well, I wasn’t sure about that…

“It shouldn’t. You shouldn’t let my answer influence yours. Whether or not I want to marry you has nothing to do with what you want,” Hayden stated casually.

We might as well have been discussing the weather for all that’s worth. Hayden was either cold, emotionless or casual like this topic didn’t hold much importance to him.

“That may be true but…” I began but didn’t know where to land with my words.

It wasn’t exactly true, right? I finished my sentence off in my mind.

“Is there something that you’ve been keeping from me?” Hayden asked.

The way his blue eyes narrowed slightly at me told me that he knew something and that shocked me.

“I…I’m not sure what you mean…” I replied without thinking.

What could Hayden possibly be referring to? I wasn’t keeping anything a secret from him…

Wait, could it be?

He knows?

“Let me ask you that again. Have you been keeping something from me?” Hayden asked as if he was offering me a second chance at this.

“I…” I began but then came to a pause as I hesitated.
