The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover-Chapter 259: The Result!

’This man... I wonder what face he will make when he finds out I already know I’m pregnant. And that I kept it to surprise him...’

Evelyn bit the inside of her lips, fighting the smile that kept tugging at her lips.

She could already picture Axel’s reaction.

First, that sharp, stunned confusion he always had when something caught him off guard.

Then the disbelief, the softening of his eyes, the way he would pull her close as if she was something precious he had almost lost.

Knowing him, he would scold her gently for not telling him sooner.

After that, he would hug her so tightly she would barely be able to breathe.

Just thinking about it made her cheeks warm.

The car sped up the long road leading to the Valley.

Liam drove steadily in the front seat.

And it didn’t take long before they finally arrived.

The iron gates recognized the car’s license plate and opened smoothly. Security guards nodded respectfully as they passed.

Evelyn leaned back in her seat, feeling an unusual sense of calm after the whirlwind morning. The hospital visit had been fast, smooth, and strangely quiet.

There had been no drama, no waiting, no hassle. The only thing left now was the result, lying somewhere in the hospital’s system and making its way to Axel.

Her stomach fluttered slightly.

That was when Axel’s phone vibrated.

The slight sound broke through the comfortable silence. Axel glanced down at his phone, puzzled, then reached into his coat pocket.

Evelyn followed his movement, curious.

A notification flashed on his screen.

[Email received: Hope Medical Centre – Priority Results.]

Axel’s pulse quickened. His posture stiffened for a split second. He stared at the notification as if his entire world was contained inside that one Email.

Evelyn saw the change in him immediately.

She leaned slightly closer, her voice soft. "What is it?"

"The result."

Just two words, but his tone carried weight.

Her heart leaped. Even though she already knew the answer, adrenaline rushed through her body. She watched him anxiously as he tapped the screen, opening the Email.

Axel’s eyes moved back and forth, reading.

Then he froze.

For a full heartbeat, he did not breathe.

Evelyn swallowed. "Axel...?"

He blinked, exhaled, and slowly turned his head toward her.

His eyes were warm. Brighter than she had ever seen them. Filled with something profound and overwhelming.

"Eve," he said quietly, "congratulations."

Even though she already knew, hearing him say it felt different. Real. A warm heaviness pooled in her chest. She smiled widely, tears filling her eyes.

Their gazes locked.

Axel’s hand reached for hers, pulling it into his grip. And in one swift movement, she was already in his arms, pressed against him as if he had waited years for this moment.

"We are having a baby," he whispered against her hair. "Congratulations. Thank you, Eve."

His voice trembled slightly, enough to make her tears spill.

She said nothing. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, letting her silent joy answer for her.

The car slowed to a stop in front of the house’s main entrance.

Liam, knowing better than to interrupt, quietly stepped out and walked away, leaving them alone.

Inside the car, Evelyn and Axel remained locked in their embrace.

Axel gently pulled back and pressed his forehead against hers. His voice was soft. "Thank you for giving me another chance to stand by your side during this pregnancy, Eve."

Her heart clenched. She smiled through her tears. "We will do it right this time."

"Hmm! We will..."

Then, Axel gently leaned in and kissed her.

A slow, tender kiss that grew deeper with every passing second, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The world blurred into warmth and breath, as Axel’s hand slowly slid up her back.

They were so lost in each other that neither of them saw the main door open.

Oliver had run out of the house the moment Jimmy told him his parents were home. He dashed to open the front door and hurried outside.

But when he reached the car, he saw only Liam adjusting his suit jacket.

"Uncle Liam?" Oliver tilted his head. "Where are my mommy and daddy?"

Liam hesitated, then cleared his throat. "Still inside the car. Uhm...I think they are talking about something."

"Talking?" Oliver curiously asked. "Why talk inside the car? They have a whole house for that."

Liam scratched the back of his head, realizing he had no sensible explanation.

"Adults sometimes like... quiet places to talk."

"But we have quiet places in the house too."

"Yes, but..." Liam searched desperately for a reason. "...the car is extra quiet."

Oliver narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Are they fighting?"

"No, no, no." Liam waved both hands. "Definitely not fighting."

"Wait! Are they hiding snacks from me?"

"What? No. I do not think so."

Oliver pouted. "Ugh. Adults are weird."

Liam nodded quickly. "Yes. Adults are bizarre. Now, if you’re really wondering, maybe you can knock?"

He sighed, then marched to the back seat window and knocked hard.

Inside the car...

Axel was in the middle of kissing Evelyn breathless and passionately when the knocking thundered through the window.

He growled under his breath, sounding genuinely murderous. "Who dares—"

Evelyn’s eyes widened in horror. She pushed at his chest. "It is Oliver!"

Axel froze.

Evelyn scrambled to fix her coat, her hair, her blouse. Her lipstick was slightly smudged, and she frantically rubbed it with her finger. Axel watched her silently, his eyes dark with amusement and something else.

"You did this," she whispered accusingly. "You almost ripped my clothes."

"You kissed me first," he replied calmly.

"I did not."

"Ah, yeah, I’m the first to kiss you..."

She shot him a glare, then checked her reflection in the dark window, desperately trying to hide every trace of their almost-moment.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Oliver knocked again, louder this time. "Mommyyyy. Daddyyyy. Why are you taking so long?"
