Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 373

“When he found out that you were missing, he began looking for you right away. With his help, we were able to locate you in a very short time,” Hayden told me solemnly.

“I see…” I whispered.

“Thanks to that, the boss has been reconsidering the relationship between Torex and Silva,” Hayden disclosed brightly before he smiled at me.

“Wow. Really?” I asked with widened eyes.

“Well, it’s not that easy but at least the old man is thinking about it. Surprisingly, the most difficult part is Ethan and his big ego,” Hayden said with a small chuckle.

“What does that mean?” I asked, not sure what exactly that meant.

“He’s having a hard time accepting help from Torex as a reward for helping you. He says that he would have helped you regardless…and that is starting to piss the old man off…” Hayden explained.

“Was that what you two were discussing?” I asked curiously.

“Pretty much…” Hayden muttered.

“What will you do? Can you help convince Ethan to…be more cooperative? I mean, he’s the one who wants a partnership between Torex and Silva, right?” I asked, daring to be hopeful that some progress will be made.

Hayden turned and gave me a pointed look before he closed his eyes and sighed. For a moment, he looked very tired and bored of everything that was going on in the world. I could still recall the look he gave me when he confessed to me that he hated his job. I guess that feeling has never really dissipated at all from his mind.

“Stop pressuring your dear husband so much, wife…” Hayden murmured in complaint.

“I’m not pressuring you…or at least, I don’t think that I am…” I quickly corrected.

Hayden narrowed his eyes at me before shaking his head like he didn’t want to deal with any of my nonsense anymore. I honestly never thought that there would be any silver lining attached to my recent kidnapping. The situation looked so bad, and Hayden even got injured because of it. Despite all that, there seemed to be some good that came out of it. Probably because Ethan and his gang helped out in my rescue, the boss now seemed more agreeable to some kind of partnership. Hayden’s attitude towards Ethan seemed to have improved as well although I doubt that he would be willing to admit it himself any time soon.

He let Ethan visit him in his hospital room. To me, that was a really big step forward. It was quite hard for me to believe and wrap my head around, but it seemed like my unfortunate kidnapping has somehow brought the two gangs closer. A union may not be just around the corner, but a few steps forward was more than I could ever ask for.
