The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 60

60 A Ring

60 A Ring

Evelyn was pulled from her sultry thoughts when she heard Axel say, “Go ahead, I will catch you…” 1

Oliver laughed and rolled away from his father, who caught him easily and started tickling his sides. Their son laughed with delight, his

laughter bubbling over like pure joy.

Finally, Evelyn’s feet moved.

She crossed the room, sat gently on the opposite side of the bed, and felt Oliver immediately curl into her side with a wide grin.

“See, Mommy? Isn’t it comfy?” Oliver beamed at her, then closed his eyes dramatically as if pretending to drift to sleep.

Moments later, Axel lay on his back, his presence making the bed feel unexpectedly smaller.

As Evelyn looked at his position, her nerves started to flare up again, just like the last time she recalled. That morning, when she woke

up, he was lying beside her.

Her thoughts swirled wildly.

‘How can I sleep beside him without doing anything normal? Can I hold myself back when he’s so hot to handle? My goodness, Eve, Calm

down, Calm!‘

“Mommy, try it. Come lie down here with daddy…” Oliver urged, patting the sheets with his tiny hand. “It feels soft.”

Evelyn bit her inner lip, trying not to laugh, as she watched her son now fulfilling his role as their cupid.

Now, she was convinced her son was plotting against her, laying the groundwork for something bigger.

‘What’s next, Oliver Knight? A request for a sibling?‘ Just thinking about it made her face flush.

Evelyn quickly stood up, feeling a bit flustered.

“Alright, that’s enough for now. Time to check your bedroom, Oliver,” she said softly, reaching out for his hand. She tries to hide her

blushing face from Axel.

Oliver tugged on Evelyn’s hand, bouncing on his toes.

“Let’s go, Mommy, to my room. I wanna see it now.”

His little legs carried him down the hallway as fast as they could, his voice echoing with excitement.

Evelyn hurried to keep up, while Axel followed with a steady stride behind them, unhurried.

Oliver stopped in front of the last door on the right and turned to face them.

“Dad, this is my room, right?”

“Absolutely, go ahead and open it.”

Oliver pushed the door open with all his might and dashed inside. Evelyn could only shake her head and stepped in after him.

The room instantly made her smile.

The walls were painted a soft sky blue, dotted with glow–in–the–dark stars. A tiny bed sat against the far wall, complete with a bright red

duvet. A bookshelf shaped like a rocket ship stood nearby, already filled with picture books and toys.

In the corner, a pile of stuffed animals and many figures of Oliver’s favorite cartoons.

“Wow,” Evelyn whispered, her chest tightening at the sight. Axel had thought of everything, down to the details.

Oliver looked around with his arms wide open. “It’s my spaceship bedroom! I’m an astronaut!” He plopped onto the bed, bouncing just

like he did on theirs. “Mommy, this room is amazing… I like it.”

Evelyn beamed with a warm smile as she responded, “Sweetheart, Mom is so happy you like it. Thanks to your Dad.” She then looked over

at Axel, who was quietly standing by the window.

Oliver giggled and hugged the pillow. “Dad, thank you…”

Axel’s gentle gaze stayed on Oliver, and a spring–like smile appeared on his lips before he answered, “I’m relieved you like the room,

Buddy.”

Evelyn’s chest warmed. No matter how complex her life had been, Axel was here. Present. And that meant the world to their son.

After a while, she convinced Oliver to settle down and let her play in his room, and Axel decided to stay with him while she left.

She took a deep breath and headed to the master bedroom. Wanting to check if Axel’s people had already packed their clothes, she

opened the wardrobe, but it was still empty.

“It seems I need to return to the fourth floor.” She muttered while walking to the bedroom, and when her eyes fixed on the bed, her step

halted.

The thought of sharing the bed with Axel made her body heat slowly rise. Again.

Shook her head, trying to throw away those dirty thoughts from her mind, and she sank into the sofa by the window and tried to check

her cell phone.

However, she was distracted when she heard the door click softly and glanced up. Axel had followed her in.

Without a word, he crossed the room and sat opposite her, his posture relaxed, though his sharp eyes missed nothing.

“What do you think of the house?” he asked, his tone calm.

“I like it,” she admitted while placing her phone back into her bag. “It’s… beautiful. Warm.”

Something unreadable flickered in his gaze at her words, but he gave a slight nod, as if tucking away her answer for later.

They talked for a few minutes about simple topics: Oliver’s school, the kitchen layout, and his favorite food.

The conversation flowed surprisingly easily, and Evelyn began to relax, comforted by the soothing rhythm of his voice and the way his

presence filled the room without overwhelming her.

Then, without warning, Axel stood up from his scat.

Evelyn blinked as she followed his movement, walked toward the corner, crouching beside his bag, as if searching for something. A

second later, he pulled something out.

When he looked back at her, she shyly averted her eyes.

He walked cautiously, slowly, and deliberately, and stopped right in front of her. He extended his hand.
