Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion

Chapter 411: Our Family

"Hi…" the boys said with clear disinterest.

Harris and Andrew looked up at me with cold eyes while I plastered a smile on my face. These two kids were clearly told about the specifics of their family business from such a young age without leaving out any details about what was expected of them when they grew older. Harvey was heartless when it came to training up his boys into the ideal next bosses of the gang.

Although the boys were still young, they already had a cold and calculating attitude.

"Are you heading back now?" Amelia asked.

Unlike me who was busy with my career as an artist and running my art gallery business, Amelia was a full-time mum. I didn’t envy her at all, she had her hands full just dealing with her two boys and not to mention dealing with Harvey as well. Amelia was always surrounded by a large team of bodyguards, and I bet she spent more time with them than with Harvey.

Despite her burdensome life of being the new boss’s wife, she seemed quite used to everything and she also seemed to enjoy herself tremendously.

"We’re about to," I replied.

"Can we go play with Henry at his house?" Harris asked.

"I don’t know. Ask the hosts," Amelia replied with a disapproving glare.

"Can we go play at your house, Hayden?" Harris turned to ask Hayden for permission.

"Sure. I’ll invite your dad to come over for dinner later too," Hayden replied before he lifted little Leila up into his arms.

"Let’s go, Henry!" Harris shouted excitedly as he took my son’s hand.

I had very mixed feeling about my son being Harris’s best friend. It would be the worst thing ever if Henry started picking up on Harris’s strange gangster vibe. Harris and Henry looked more like brothers than Henry and Andrew did. Maybe it was because their father looked so much alike, and they both inherited their father’s genes.

Harris was almost the exact copy of what Harvey looked like in his younger days and the same could be said about Henry and Hayden.

Andrew had softer features and very round eyes that resembled Amelia. Unlike his elder brother, he seemed a little more docile and stuck closer to Amelia. I smiled to myself as I followed Hayden and the boys towards the car after it seemed to have been decided by default that Harris would ride along with our family. I wished that I could say that my Leila resembled me but that wasn’t quite true.

Leila looked like a little angel with her father’s blond and blue eyes. She even inherited Hayden’s long and blond eyelashes. I guess the only thing she inherited from me were her lips and smile. Better than nothing, I guess.

That evening turned out to be a small family reunion at Hayden’s mansion. After Amelia and her children turned up at our house, Harvey soon followed after he was done with work for the day. Not surprisingly, the boss turned up as well to join us for dinner. Although he said that he wanted to chat with Hayden and Harvey, we all knew that he just wanted to play with his grandchildren.

Just like always, the boss never turned up to our house without loads of gift for his dear little princess, Leila.

I watched as the boss lifted Leila onto his lap before he kissed her forehead. His large hand brought out a jewelry box before he placed a sparkly diamond necklace around Leila’s neck. It was surprising, but it seemed like Leila had won the position of the boss’s favorite grandchild. Despite being born a girl, the boss seemed to favor her the most.

I learnt later that something in Leila reminded the boss of his late wife, Hayden’s mother. Whatever the reason was, I was truly happy that Leila had a very amicable relationship with her grandfather.

The three boys ran around the living room and the hall of the mansion just like always. It was pure chaos when the three of them joined forces. Surprisingly, Luka also turned up at the boss’s invitation. Luka was still working despite his age. He refused to retire even when the boss retired and had insisted on helping Harvey out with managing the gang.

When dinner was ready, the maids did an outstanding job as always of ushering all the kids to the dining room. The chefs always outdid themselves when serving food for our mini family reunion.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" the boss turned to ask Henry.

Henry seemed thoughtful for a while, and I watched with intense interest as I waited for my son’s response. We haven’t talked about that much since Henry was still so young. Because he wasn’t officially part of the gang anymore, there were endless possibilities for him to choose from.

"I’m going to lead the gang after my dad!" Harris shouted loudly.

Harvey laughed loudly and clapped his hand proudly. Well, at least it seemed like Harris was well aware of his position and what awaited him. Harvey definitely did an outstanding job of educating and preparing Harris earlier on.

"I want to be a doctor like my father," Henry replied before smiling proudly.

I found myself smiling at his response. I doubt Henry truly understood what kind of doctor Hayden was but it was great that he wanted to become a doctor too. Maybe he can take over Hayden’s hospitals or he can become a normal working doctor. I glanced over at Hayden, but he didn’t seem to react in any way to his son’s proclamation.

Perhaps that was because he was fine with whatever his son had decided. Our son was still so young, and his dream may change when he gets older as well.

"Don’t you want to be a gangster?" the boss teased.

I wanted to strangle the boss for his insensitive joke but the way that Henry smiled at his grandfather before he shook his head made me smile as well.
