บททั้งหมดของ The mafia boss is the man of my dreams : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

I didn’t know who I was expecting when I heard the door open, maybe Conan or his secretary—but when my eyes landed on Rowan, my mouth fell open.His eyes widened as they landed on us too, and he immediately turned around.“I’m sorry, boss,” he called loudly. “I was only bringing the package you requested.”“And you couldn’t think to knock?” Knight snapped, his voice pulling me back into reality.I immediately stood up from his lap, ignoring his frown as I straightened my clothes.“I did knock,” Rowan said, much softer now. “I guess you were just too occupied to hear me.”A smirk spread across my face just as Knight stood up.“You can turn around now,” he said in a bored tone.Rowan turned back, a tiny smile on his face—and a flower bouquet in his hand.Wait. A flower bouquet?“Sorry for the disturbance once again,” Rowan said with a slight bow before walking over and handing the flowers to Knight, who collected them without a word.“You’re dismissed,” Knight said. “Don’t come up unles

I didn’t know how I made it to my feet that fast, but the moment I saw Knight grab that waiter by the collar, I was already moving to stop him. I had noticed the looks the waiter was giving me, but I ignored them all because we would only be here for a few hours anyway. I never imagined he would openly touch me like that—twice. I was going to confront him about it even if Knight didn’t. I wasn’t some weak damsel in distress. At the very least, I could speak up when someone made me uncomfortable. I stood behind them, watching just exactly what Knight was going to do before interfering. The whole guests had their eyes on us now, but I didn’t really care. I just watched, at least for now. “You seem to have no idea where your boundaries lie,” Knight said to the waiter, his eyes dark. “How dare you touch her—twice.” His grip on the man’s collar visibly tightened. “I didn’t touch her!” the man yelled loudly, glaring as he looked around as if asking for help. Was he trying to get the

The moment I slammed my door shut behind me, I finally let out the sigh I had been holding in throughout that car ride. I thought, assumed—that Knight would say something, anything, to make the situation better, but the silence we sat through was more deadly than any movie villain there was. Even if I avoided his eyes the whole time, my mind was still working overtime, trying to process exactly what I was feeling after all… that. “I’m home,” I called as I strolled into the sitting room where Excelle had her eyes glued to the TV screen. “I heard the door slam shut like five minutes ago, Aria, so I knew you were home,” she said, finally dragging her eyes from the TV to me. “My question is why it took you that long to walk in here,” she added, wiggling her brows. I sighed as I dropped onto the couch opposite her. “It was a long day,” I muttered, looking away. “Okay, girl, what did your Knight do now?” she said, grabbing the remote and switching off the TV before turning to me.

Knights POV My eyes remained on Aria’s sleeping form for most of the night. For someone who talked big about not being nervous, she fell asleep pretty fast the moment she was in my arms. I was greatly tempted to chuckle when her breathing steadied, but I couldn’t risk waking her up, so I held it in. If I was being truthful, I was still surprised she came back to me on her own, but I decided not to question it. Like she said, we had no idea what going forward would mean for us, so we might as well remain in the present. Her face looked so peaceful while she slept, unlike the expression she wore daily, and it was really nice to see her like that. I went to sleep not long after, and the next moment my eyes snapped open, sunlight already seeping through the curtains. My gaze immediately went to her, and my eyes widened when I saw the spot empty. I was on my feet in seconds as I walked over to the bathroom. I knocked softly, but after getting no answer, I pushed the door open. A sigh

Jean POV I didn’t know exactly what a man like me was thinking when I left my house this early, on a workday, to Aria’s house. I took a sick leave for the first time that month even if I wasn’t sick, because I knew I couldn’t put this conversation aside anymore. I knew Aria was at Knight’s, so it felt like the perfect opportunity to talk to Excelle about… well, everything. I felt bad keeping this away from Aria, but Excelle made sure I kept my mouth shut, and there was still the fact that I said some shit to her that night, so I wanted to straighten things out before I told Aria. So that was why I was pacing outside their door, trying to gather my balls before I knocked. Excelle was completely different from Aria, especially when it came to situations like this. If Aria was assertive and always went for what she wanted, Excelle was more passive and intentional, with a whole lot more attitude. I finally drew a breath and placed a knock on the door. I heard shuffling behind the do
