Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion

Chapter 410: Our Future

**6 years later**

"Wow…you came back pretty early today…" I said while cocking my head slightly to the side in wonder.

With his busy schedule for the week, I hadn’t expected him to turn up at my gallery early in the afternoon.

"Things wrapped up pretty well at the hospital today so I thought that we could go pick up the kids together for a change," Hayden replied with a smile.

"Perfect timing. Now that you mention it, we should head out now or we’re going to be late…" I said as I started grabbing my things.

I turned to flash him a bright smile. Honestly, I was thrilled that he could spare some time to pick up the kids together today. Hayden was still busy with his work at the hospitals as ever and the fact that the numbers of hospitals in his network has grown over the years did not help make him any less busy.

That being said, my career as an artist and gallery owner had also flourished handsomely which meant that he wasn’t the only one who had gotten busier. Layering taking care of our two kids on top of that kept us extremely busy for all days of our lives.

Thankfully, hired help was available and there was always the ever caring and supportive grandfather to help out. The boss had retired already from actively managing and running the business. Currently, instead of working as a mafia boss, he now works full time as our children’s grandfather and semi-guardian. The same role applied to Harvey’s and Amelia’s children.

Most days the boss and his entourage of bodyguards were responsible for sending the children to school and picking them up. It was an activity that we gladly handed over the boss due to our busy schedule and the boss was more than glad to take the lead so that he could spend more time with his grandchildren.

Unlike his strict, scary, and very stern self during his time leading the business, the boss was now a very kind and loving grandfather to all our children.

"I already told the boss that he doesn’t need to pick up the kids today. At first, I was going to do it alone but now that you’re here…" I told Hayden with a smile.

Lately, it became a habit of mine to smile. That was probably the best proof that I was so happy living the life that I was living with Hayden and the kids. Life was peaceful; however, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that our family was usual or normal.

The school that our children went to wasn’t really a normal school either. Before having my own children, I never knew that these types of school existed. Basically, it was a school for children of the extremely wealthy and somewhat shady families. The Torex fit the bill very well and had been donating significantly to the school for years in preparation for the boss’s first grandchild’s arrival.

Harvey and Amelia’s children also went to this same school which made it extremely convenient for the boss to drop them off and pick them up together.

"Henry! Leila!" I called out to my children happily when the teachers brought them out to see us.

"Mummy! Daddy!" they both cried out happily when they saw that it was Hayden and me who had come to pick them up today.

It wasn’t often that we got to do this, and it was even rarer for both of us to be here to pick them up together, so it must have been a pleasant surprise for our children. I wished that we had more time but school starting super early in the morning and ending early in the afternoon made it hard for us working parents.

"Did you have fun at school today?" I asked happily.

"Yes!" they both replied in complete sync with each other.

"No one caused you any trouble, right?" Hayden asked his son as he crouched down to Henry’s height.

Wasn’t the question supposed to be ’you didn’t cause any trouble, right?’. I sighed and shook my head at how Hayden was unconventionally raising his son. Nothing was worst compared to how Harvey was doing. Their two sons were pretty much little gangsters in their own right already and had a mindset and ego to match.

They thought exactly like Harvey, and I could tell that they would grow up to be his size in both body and ego as well.

I watched with a smile as Hayden wrapped his arms lovingly around the waist of our two children. Henry was 5 years old, and Leila was 3. After taking a short break to raise Henry, we quickly decided to have our second child without hesitation. Henry brought so much joy to us that we thought that having another one was the right decision to make without a doubt.

Hayden didn’t have any preferences on the gender of our children, but he admitted to being relieved that our eldest turned out to be a boy.

"Nothing against girls but I just wouldn’t know how to raise one…" Hayden admitted a little bashfully.

"That’s so funny…I don’t think I would know how to raise a boy either…" I replied back with a small laugh.

With our first child being a boy, I prayed so hard for our second to be a girl. We went about the process naturally and it didn’t take long for me to conceive our second child. Leila was born soon after and that made us a family of four. Since Harvey and Amelia ended up having two boys, that made Leila the only young girl in the Torex family.

As a result, she was currently being spoiled rotten by the boss and her dear Uncle Luka.

"Oh, Amelia!" I called out to Amelia when I spotted her.

"Wow. You’re both here," Amelia exclaimed with clear surprise to see Hayden and I together at school.

"Hayden got off work early," I replied with a smile.

"Say hi to Malissa…" Amelia hissed to her two boys.
