The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: My Wife Looks Dangerous

The first thing Evelyn noticed upon opening her eyes was Axel.

He was already dressed in his slim-fit black shirt and matching trousers, his jacket nowhere in sight, as if he were about to step straight into the office.

The soft light from the bedside lamp traced the sharp line of his jaw, making him look far too alert for such an early hour.

’Wait. Wait. Did I oversleep? Again?’ She wonders.

Evelyn immediately glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table.

Her brows knitted together when she saw the time.

It was not even seven in the morning, and her husband was already ready to head to his office.

Even outside, the sky was still dark, heavy clouds hanging low as if dawn had decided to sleep in.

Usually, at this hour, Axel was still wrapped around her, refusing to let go, murmuring that he needed five more minutes. Yet here he was, fully dressed and ready to leave.

Just as she shifted under the blanket, preparing to sit up, Axel turned toward her.

"Oh, good morning, Eve." A soft smile curved his lips as he walked over and offered his hand to help her up.

"Morning," she replied, her voice still sounding sleepy.

"Did I wake you?" He asked worriedly.

She shook her head and sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze lifting to meet his.

"Axel, you’re going to the office this early?"

"Hm. I had a sudden meeting," Axel answered lightly. "One of those meetings that cannot wait, apparently. So I need to arrive earlier than usual."

Evelyn nodded. She did not ask more. She had learned that when Axel said a meeting could not wait, it honestly could not.

"I’ll get ready too," she said, pushing herself up.

She slipped out of her nightgown and reached for a soft, loose blouse and comfortable leggings.

As she changed, Axel leaned against the doorway of the walk-in closet, arms crossed, eyes openly admiring her.

"You know," he said casually, staring at his half-naked wife, "pregnancy suits you a little too well."

Evelyn paused and glanced down at herself. Her blouse draped smoothly over her stomach, still flat, still giving no hint that there was a tiny life growing inside her. "You’re teasing again."

"I’m serious," Axel replied, eyes warm. "My wife looks dangerous this early in the morning."

She can’t help but laugh at his words.

"Dangerous because I still don’t look pregnant at all? My tummy is completely flat. Sometimes I wonder if the baby is actually growing," she said while tying her hair after putting on her comfy leggings.

Axel straightened immediately, his playful expression shifting just a little.

"My wife, please don’t scare yourself..."

Evelyn took another deep breath, slowly brushing her teeth as she gently ignored Axel’s worried gaze from behind.

She didn’t respond to him immediately, giving herself a moment to freshen up before turning to face him.

"I’m not scared," she said, though her voice betrayed her. "I’m just... worried. I don’t feel much change yet."

Axel walked closer and placed a hand gently over her stomach.

"Then let us do this properly. I will arrange an appointment with the doctor. We’ll go tomorrow." He said.

Evelyn looked up at him, relief softening her eyes.

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes," he said firmly. "No excuses. I want to see that little troublemaker with my own eyes."

That made her laugh as she lightly punched his chest.

They brought him to the dining room, where the table was already filled with warm, comforting food.

Danny, their private chef, had clearly taken extra care.

There was soft porridge, steamed vegetables, grilled chicken, fresh fruit, and warm soup.

Everything was delicious, nourishing, and inviting.

Oliver’s eyes sparkled. "Wow. Uncle Danny... This is a lot of food. And they are all my favorites."

"Thank you, young master... Hope you like it." Danny said happily.

"This is special food," Axel said, pulling out a chair. "For a strong boy who just defeated a fever."

"And for a pregnant lady," Danny added with a respectful smile.

Breakfast was filled with light laughter.

Oliver happily reported every bite he took, announcing which food gave him strength and which one tasted like "superhero food."

Evelyn ate slowly, enjoying the calm after last night’s chaos.

Soon, Axel checked his watch and stood. "I have to go."

Oliver frowned. "Already?"

"I’ll be back before you even miss me," Axel promised, bending down to kiss his son’s forehead.

Then he turned to Evelyn, brushing a kiss against her lips.

"Rest today. Don’t overdo anything. If you feel hungry, ask Laura or Jimmy."

"Hmm, I know..." she said softly.
