The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Maybe I’m Pregnant?

Lisa pressed her lips tighter. Clearly trying very hard not to laugh. "Ma’am, Jimmy is... taking precautions."

"For what? In case I sprain my ankle?" Evelyn said carelessly.

"Well..." Lisa silently gulped, "just in case anything happens."

Evelyn can’t help but laugh. She glanced again at the car creeping behind them. She could only shake her head when she saw Jimmy give a thumbs-up as if his presence was completely normal.

"This is ridiculous," she muttered. "At this point, Axel might as well cancel his work and join us instead."

"Boss Axel is... concerned, Ma’am."

"Concerned about what? The path is safe. The cabin is ours. There are guards everywhere."

Lisa hesitated. Her eyes shifted forward, then back to Evelyn, unsure whether to speak.

Evelyn caught it instantly. "Lisa. Spill it." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I... I cannot say everything. But the boss is worried you may not feel well."

"Oh come on, Lisa... You know, I’m perfectly fine."

"Yes, Ma’am."

"Then why is he acting like I’m going to faint in the woods?"

Lisa tried to arrange her words carefully. "Let’s just say... the boss thinks there is a chance you might be... um... a little more tired than usual."

Evelyn blinked. "What does that even mean?"

Lisa smiled gently. "It means... he cares."

Evelyn sighed in frustration, staring again at the slow-moving car behind them. "At this rate, he may think I’m pregnant."

Lisa tripped slightly on a rock.

"Are you alright?" Evelyn asked while trying to hold her hand.

"Yes, Ma’am," Lisa said quickly, as she steadied herself. "Completely fine."

Evelyn looked suspicious, but Lisa kept walking, refusing to meet her eyes.

Ahead of them, Oliver shouted with joy as Ryan lifted him onto his shoulders.

The scenery was breathtaking, the air was perfect, and despite the absurd amount of overprotection around her, Evelyn felt her mood lift.

She smiled, thinking that today might actually be wonderful... even if her husband had apparently deployed half his people to make sure she did not trip.

When they arrived at the cabin, there was no time to relax, as Oliver immediately said he was starving like never before, which was entirely acceptable for a boy his age after nearly three hours of hiking for the first time.

Evelyn was grateful that Laura and Lisa were there to help her prepare food for everyone. So everyone could eat much sooner.

This was not just a simple picnic with her son; it was a group outing with her house staff.

...

Lunch preparation in the cabin turned into a small festival of movement and noise.

Evelyn was busy chopping vegetables on the wooden counter. At the same time, Jimmy and Oliver are on the porch grilling meat.

Ryan and Lisa helped unpack ingredients to prepare another meal, and Laura fluttered between everyone like a general, making sure the troops did not burn down the cabin.

"Madam, let me carry that," Laura said for the third time as Evelyn tried to lift the bowl of salad.

"Seriously, Laura? It’s salad, not a sack of potatoes," Evelyn joked, sliding it onto the table before Laura could snatch it.
