"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.
Not wanting to waste even a single moment longer in the hospital, I had requested for my doctor to check up on me as early as possible.
"You look very energetic today..." the doctor commented before he smiled warmly at me.
Of course, I was energetic. I was beyond excited to get out of this hospital room. I want to eat proper food, sleep in a proper bed, and live a proper life with Hayden and Little Hayden back at the mansion. I smiled a little to myself when I looked down at the diamond ring that Hayden had given me.
Since we’ve gotten married not much has changed between us and I was starting to wonder if this was normal.
Since I have never been married before, I didn’t know what life was supposed to be like for a married couple. I lived with Hayden in his mansion before we got married so there would probably be nothing new there. Is it normal for there to be no change after we get married?
Probably not...right...?
"I’m looking forward to going back home with my husband," I replied a little proudly.
Although Hayden didn’t have any difficulties in referring to me as his wife, it still felt very strange for me to refer to Hayden as my husband. This was probably the first time that I referred to him as my husband to someone else. The doctor didn’t react to it, but I felt heat rush to my face as I began blushing. It’s going to take a while for me to get used to this.
Maybe I’ll start seeing changes in our lives when we finally make it out of the hospital.
Fortunately, the doctor found nothing wrong with me and I was ready to be discharged. I wanted to jump up and down with joy, but I knew that I had to hold it in. Auntie arrived to help pack my things along with a few maids and soon we were on our way back to the mansion.
Probably because of the recent incident, there were more bodyguards everywhere than normal. I walked out of my hospital room to see Hayden already standing there waiting for me. I gasped in surprise when I saw him. Hayden was dressed in his standard white suit, and I was reminded once again of how handsome and princely he looks.
