The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259: The Result!

’This man... I wonder what face he will make when he finds out I already know I’m pregnant. And that I kept it to surprise him...’

Evelyn bit the inside of her lips, fighting the smile that kept tugging at her lips.

She could already picture Axel’s reaction.

First, that sharp, stunned confusion he always had when something caught him off guard.

Then the disbelief, the softening of his eyes, the way he would pull her close as if she was something precious he had almost lost.

Knowing him, he would scold her gently for not telling him sooner.

After that, he would hug her so tightly she would barely be able to breathe.

Just thinking about it made her cheeks warm.

The car sped up the long road leading to the Valley.

Liam drove steadily in the front seat.

And it didn’t take long before they finally arrived.

The iron gates recognized the car’s license plate and opened smoothly. Security guards nodded respectfully as they passed.

Evelyn leaned back in her seat, feeling an unusual sense of calm after the whirlwind morning. The hospital visit had been fast, smooth, and strangely quiet.

There had been no drama, no waiting, no hassle. The only thing left now was the result, lying somewhere in the hospital’s system and making its way to Axel.

Her stomach fluttered slightly.

That was when Axel’s phone vibrated.

The slight sound broke through the comfortable silence. Axel glanced down at his phone, puzzled, then reached into his coat pocket.

Evelyn followed his movement, curious.

A notification flashed on his screen.

[Email received: Hope Medical Centre – Priority Results.]

Axel’s pulse quickened. His posture stiffened for a split second. He stared at the notification as if his entire world was contained inside that one Email.

Evelyn saw the change in him immediately.

She leaned slightly closer, her voice soft. "What is it?"

"The result."

Just two words, but his tone carried weight.

Her heart leaped. Even though she already knew the answer, adrenaline rushed through her body. She watched him anxiously as he tapped the screen, opening the Email.

Axel’s eyes moved back and forth, reading.

Then he froze.

For a full heartbeat, he did not breathe.

Evelyn swallowed. "Axel...?"

He blinked, exhaled, and slowly turned his head toward her.

His eyes were warm. Brighter than she had ever seen them. Filled with something profound and overwhelming.

"Eve," he said quietly, "congratulations."

Even though she already knew, hearing him say it felt different. Real. A warm heaviness pooled in her chest. She smiled widely, tears filling her eyes.

Their gazes locked.

Axel’s hand reached for hers, pulling it into his grip. And in one swift movement, she was already in his arms, pressed against him as if he had waited years for this moment.

"We are having a baby," he whispered against her hair. "Congratulations. Thank you, Eve."

His voice trembled slightly, enough to make her tears spill.

She said nothing. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, letting her silent joy answer for her.
