The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387: I Found Your Mother

When Ethan turned his gaze on him, he continued, "Your mother is still looking for you."

Instantly, Ethan’s face drained of color; Axel’s words hit harder than any bullet ever had.

"And," Axel continued, "your mother is someone Evelyn is very close with. She considers her an aunt, and my son calls her Grandma."

Ethan’s lips parted, but his voice came out as a whisper, "So... it’s real. You actually found my family."

"I only found your mother," Axel corrected gently. "She’s the only one left."

Ethan squeezed his eyes shut for a moment.

"My mother is alive, and she’s still looking for me?" he asked, his voice breaking despite his effort to control it.

"Yes!"

Axel then explained everything.

About how Evelyn had once shared documents about Aunt Martha, a woman who had lost her son decades ago, and asked him to help find the little boy.

How Collins had investigated the case.

How a photo from years past had been compared to Ethan’s old records from their first encounter.

The resemblance had been undeniable.

Ethan clenched his fist, tried to calm his heartbeat, and asked, "Are you sure that woman is my mother?"

Axel added carefully, "Even though Collins and I are confident, we need confirmation. A DNA test. To be absolutely certain."

Ethan nodded slowly. His hands trembled slightly against the sheets. "I understand," he said quietly.

Axel glanced at his watch. "My man is meeting your mother now. Once we get her sample, we’ll need yours as well."

"So... this is one of the reasons you’re sending me to the capital?"

"Yes," Axel replied without hesitation. "And because we need to find out who wants you dead."

The flicker of anger in Axel’s eyes was sharp and dangerous.

Collins rubbed his chin. "On the bright side, Ethan, you might finally get grounded by your mom instead of Axel."

Ethan let out a breathless laugh that quickly turned into something dangerously close to a sob.

...

At the Valley, the morning light spilled gently through the tall windows of Evelyn’s office, casting warm streaks across the polished desk.

After breakfast, she had insisted on coming here herself, ignoring the mild panic in the eyes of Laura and Jimmy, who still believed she should be resting in bed like a porcelain doll.

For the first time since her injury, she sat behind her desk again.

It felt... right.

Her laptop chimed nonstop, emails piling up faster than she could blink.

Most of them were from Oscar, neatly labeled and obsessively detailed.

Evelyn glanced at the subject lines, sighed, and skipped every single one.

"Sorry, Oscar," she murmured. "If it’s not on fire, it can wait."

Her eyes landed on another name instead.

Joseph Carter, the acting CEO of Walters Group.

She clicked the email and gave a faint smile.
