The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: This is New!?

The call ended.

Evelyn lowered the phone slowly, her thoughts racing.

"Axel, asked Aunty Martha DNA sample? Why?"

Her mind can’t stop thinking. Because she knew Axel never moved without reason.

Something was happening behind the scenes. And when a thought flashed through her mind, she felt her heart beat faster.

"He seriously found a clue about Noah?" Evelyn muttered while opening her messaging app and scrolled to Axel’s name.

The last message she had sent was hours ago and went unanswered.

A faint smile tugged at her lips, though her eyes were sharp with curiosity and concern.

She typed:

"Hubby, did you forget to call me?"

Then she leaned back in her chair, staring out the window at the valley below, her heart tightened with anticipation.

It didn’t take long.

Evelyn’s cell phone vibrated softly against the desk, pulling her attention away from the valley outside her window. She glanced down and saw a new message.

"I’m sorry, my wife. Still handling some business here. I will call you right away after finishing this matter." From: Hubby

Evelyn frowned.

"Huh?" she muttered under her breath, rereading the message. "This is new!?"

She leaned back in her chair, eyes narrowing slightly as suspicion crept in uninvited into her mind.

"Usually, Axel calls me immediately," she murmured. "No matter what kind of mess he’s buried in. But now... just a text?"

She stared at the screen for a few seconds longer than necessary, then let out a quiet sigh. Overthinking wouldn’t help. If there was one thing she’d learned after marrying Axel Knight, it was that his silences were rarely simple and never accidental.

Still, she didn’t want to think about it.

She typed a short reply.

"Okay!"

After sending it, she placed her phone face down on the desk as if daring it to vibrate again. Then she pushed herself up carefully, adjusting her balance before standing fully.

"Enough," she told herself. "Distract first. Worry later."

Naturally, her feet carried her toward Oliver.

As she approached his playroom, her hand barely touched the door before it suddenly swung open from the inside.

A small figure appeared, eyes wide, hair slightly messy, and cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Mommy!" Oliver exclaimed. "How do you know I’m looking for you?"

Evelyn blinked, then laughed softly. She leaned in closer to him and patted his head.

"Because I can feel when my little Oliver needs something."

His face lit up as she had just revealed a superpower.

"That’s amazing, Mom..." he declared earnestly, as if committing the information to memory. Then he grabbed her hand with enthusiasm. "Mom, let’s go to my piano room. This time, I’ll play two beautiful songs for you so you can heal faster."

Evelyn gasped dramatically.
