The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263: The DNA Test Result: Match!

Later that afternoon, while Oliver slept peacefully in his room, Evelyn finally had a quiet moment to check her work.

She sat at her office desk, opened her laptop, and began scrolling through the crucial emails waiting for her reply.

She barely managed to read the first two messages when a sudden knock broke her focus.

Her eyes shifted to the time on the corner of her screen.

Only ten minutes had passed since she tucked Oliver in.

Her brows lifted. ’Did he wake up already? That fast?’

"Come in," she called.

Laura peeked into the room. Strangely, she carried no tray of snacks or fruit this time, which immediately put Evelyn on alert. No tray meant something unusual.

"Yes, Laura?" Evelyn asked.

"Ma’am... someone requests to see you."

Evelyn was surprised. Meetings were not part of her schedule today.

"Is it Eleanor and Andrew? Did they come earlier than planned?"

"No, ma’am."

"Then who?"

Laura hesitated a moment. "It’s Ms. Alicia."

Evelyn blinked. "Alice? With Stella?"

"No, ma’am. Alone."

That alone was shocking enough to make Evelyn sit straighter. Alicia never visited without her daughter. Alicia never visited unannounced. Alicia never did anything unplanned. So this, by default, was suspicious.

"Alright. Let her in. I will meet her in the living room."

Once Laura left, Evelyn grabbed her phone. She found a missed call from Alicia and a text she somehow overlooked.

"Eve, I’m on my way to your house."

"No warning? No explanation?" Evelyn muttered under her breath.

Before she could complain further, a notification popped up on the corner of her laptop screen.

She glanced at it.

Then she held her breath, and her eyes caught it.

The email subject read:

[Important Notice: The DNA test result: Match!]

Her pulse instantly quickened. She blinked and reread the words, half curious and half afraid they would disappear.

"Match? Someone matches my DNA..." Her voice trembled before fading to a whisper.

For a moment, she could only stare at the glowing subject line. She had been waiting months for this. She had sent her blood sample earlier this year in hopes of finding her maternal family. A family she had never known. A family that her mother and father never spoke about.

Her hand moved to click the email.

But before she could, her phone buzzed.

It was Alicia again.

"Eve, I’m here."

Evelyn’s breath was still shaky. Her heart hammered as if fighting its way out of her chest.

She wanted to open that email. She wanted to know who it was. She wanted to know everything.
