The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422: I Have The Right To Know

Amanda’s brows lifted instantly.

"Huh!? Didn’t Axel give you a proper wedding gift? I mean, proper to his wealth. Not just a normal gift."

Evelyn was surprised by her reaction. Before she could respond, Amanda spoke again.

"My foolish son didn’t give you something impressive? Like company shares? Luxurious property? A private, beautiful island? You know he could give all of that without even hurting his pocket, right?"

Evelyn nearly laughed. She quickly shook her head.

Even though Axel had not handed her corporate assets, what he gave her had never been measured in numbers.

"He gave me a lot," Evelyn answered gently. "More than enough."

"Oh! That sounds suspiciously diplomatic. You deserve more." Amanda paused, narrowing her eyes as she tried to read Evelyn’s expression.

Then, a smile slowly appeared on her lips as she continued, "My dear Eve, please don’t defend him. You must allow me to scold him for that."

Evelyn chuckled softly, lowering her voice. "I’m serious. He gave me things far more important than shares or material things."

Amanda watched her for a moment.

"Really?"

"Yes."

A slow, knowing smile spread across Amanda’s face. "Oh dear, that’s good to hear. Very good."

She patted Evelyn’s hand affectionately. "My son survives another day without being scolded."

Evelyn laughed quietly.

But Amanda suddenly straightened. "Oh, right." Her eyes widened slightly. "I must go rescue my little grandson."

Before Evelyn could respond, Amanda was already rising from her seat.

Alexander frowned immediately, sensing something had happened to his wife. "Dear, where are you going?" he asked.

Amanda waved dismissively. "I need to see my grandbaby Oliver." Her tone was urgent. "If I don’t intervene, your parents will spoil him completely tonight."

Alexander stood as well. Then turned toward Axel and Evelyn. "You two will stay here overnight."

Axel opened his mouth instantly.

"Dad—"

But it was pointless.

Because Alexander and Amanda were already walking toward the door with surprising speed.

The study door closed behind them, and silence filled the room.

Axel chuckled.

Evelyn laughed softly beside him. "They didn’t even wait for your protest."

Axel leaned back comfortably.

"My father never waits when he has decided something."

She smiled. "And your mother?"

He smirked. "She’s far more cunning and dangerous."

Their laughter lingered softly in the quiet study, warm and unguarded, until something suddenly crossed Evelyn’s mind with unexpected weight.

The smile that had been dancing on her lips slowly faded, replaced by hesitation and curiosity.
