    **Secret Lover 179: Your Luck’s Running Out Tonight, Mr. Knight!**


    As they stepped out of the cozy cabin, the clock’s hands were inching towards nine. The chill in the air had deepened, a briskness that yfully nipped at their cheeks, reminding them that summer was slowly yielding to autumn’s embrace.


    Axel cradled a drowsy Oliver in his arms, the little boy’s head nestledfortably against his father’s shoulder, his eyelids fluttering with the remnants of sleep.


    “Looks like our little chef is running low on battery,” Axel murmured, a yful smile creeping onto his face as he nced down at his son.


    Evelyn chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with affection as she caught a glimpse of their half-asleep child. “Yes,” she replied, amusementcing her voice, “and that warm bath definitely did the trick to make him even sleepier.”


    The drive home was enveloped in a serene silence, the gentle hum of the car blending harmoniously with the soft rhythm of Oliver’s breathing, a luby of sorts that filled the space between them.


    Within ten minutes, Axel pulled the car to a stop in front of their home’s weing entrance. Just as Evelyn reached for her seatbelt, a small voice piped up from the back seat, breaking the tranquil atmosphere.


    “Daddy, don’t forget your promise,” Oliver said, his voice thick with sleepiness.


    Both Axel and Evelyn turned in surprise, their expressions a mix of curiosity and amusement.


    Axel blinked, exchanging a knowing nce with Evelyn before breaking into a grin. “What promise would that be, my little man?”


    Oliver rubbed his drowsy eyes and shrugged, the innocence of his gesture causing Evelyn’s heart to swell. “To read two books for me, Dad.”


    Axel chuckled, feigning a look of deep contemtion. “Oh, I didn’t forget,” he said, “but I thought you might be too tired for that. How about we save it for tomorrow instead?”


    The little boy shook his head vehemently. “I’m not sleepy! I was just resting my eyes,” he insisted, his small voice filled with determination.


    Evelyn couldn’t help but stifle augh, her lips twitching at the thought, *My goodness, this boy sounds like a forty-year-old man trapped in a four-year-old’s body!*


    Axel tilted his head, pretending to be serious. “Resting your eyes, huh? That’s what I say when I’m trying to sneak a nap during a meeting.”


    Oliver puffed out his chest proudly, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. “I know! I’m learning from you, Dad…”


    Evelyn shook her head,ughter bubbling within her. “Oh no, we’re in trouble now. He’s officially your mini-me.”


    Axel nced back at their son, amusement dancing in his eyes. “Then I suppose I should start being careful about what I say around you.”


    “Toote for that,” Evelyn shot back with a grin. “He already talks like you… sarcastic and confident.”


    Oliver yawned, but his chatter continued unabated. “That’s not bad, Mommy. Daddy’s cool. Right, Daddy?”


    Evelyn rolled her eyes dramatically, pretending to sigh. “You’re both a handful.”


    Axel’sughter filled the car, warm and inviting, as he stepped out and opened the back door with a flourish. “Alright, Mr. Wide Awake, it’s time for bed.”


    But as he bent down to lift Oliver once more, the little boy shook his head vigorously, stretching his arms out defiantly. “I can walk! I’m big now.”


    “Big?” Axel teased, raising an eyebrow in mock disbelief. “You still need a stool to brush your teeth.”


    “That’s just because the sink is too high!” Oliver countered, his small feet already moving toward the house.


    Evelyn watched them with a smile, her heart swelling at the sight of her husband and son walking hand in hand. Axel slowed his strides to match Oliver’s tiny steps, a picture of tenderness that melted her heart.


    For all of Axel’s rough exterior, he transformed into a gentle giant when it came to their son.


    Quietly, she followed them inside, closing the door softly behind her. She paused for a moment, taking in the scene of her two boys ascending the stairs, the sound of theirughter mingling with the warmth of their home.


    The house was enveloped in a cozy silence, with only the faint echoes of Oliver’s giggles floating down from upstairs as Axel tried to persuade him to read just one book before bed.


    When the sounds faded into stillness, Evelyn finally made her way to the bedroom. She entered her sanctuary and headed straight for the bathroom, sshing her face with cool water and changing into something morefortable.


    Emerging from the bathroom, she slipped into a pair of short satin pajamas, a soft blue that beautifully contrasted with her fair skin. Her hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, and she settled on the edge of the bed, reaching for the book resting on her nightstand.


    The clock ticked softly, each second echoing in the quiet room.


    Ten minutes slipped by, then thirty. As the hour hand edged closer to ten, Axel still hadn’t returned.

    Evelyn looked up from her book, her heart skipping a beat at the sight of him. His dark hair was slightly tousled, and the expression on his face was a charming blend of fatigue and fondness.


    “You’re still awake?” he asked, unbuttoning the top of his shirt, revealing a glimpse of his toned physique.


    “I wanted to say goodnight before drifting off myself,” she replied softly, closing the book in herp.


    Axel’s gaze lingered on her, a warmth enveloping his features as he took in the sight of her. Her hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, her pajamas clinging gently to her form, and the warm glow of themp cast a golden hue over her skin.


    “You look absolutely beautiful,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.


    Evelyn raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile ying on her lips. “ttery? At this hour? You must be after something.”


    He grinned, a yful glint in his eyes. “Just five minutes. Let me wash up first.”


    She nodded, pretending not to notice the way his gaze lingered on her before he turned toward the bathroom.


    But just as he reached the doorway, he paused and looked back over his shoulder, a mischievous spark lighting up his eyes. “Do you want to join me? Shower? Warm bath?” he asked innocently, the corners of his mouth twitching.


    Evelyn slowly raised her gaze, her expression clearlymunicating her thoughts.


    Axelughed, hands raised in mock surrender. “Alright, alright. I was just testing my luck.”


    She rolled her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips. “Your luck’s running out tonight, Mr. Knight.”


    “Maybe tomorrow, then,” he replied yfully before disappearing into the bathroom.


    The sound of water running soon filled the room, a soothing backdrop to the quiet evening.


    Evelyn leaned back against the pillows, a small smile lingering on her face, but it didn’t take long for her eyelids to grow heavy.


    The warmth of the bed,bined with the gentle ticking of the clock, lulled her into a drowsy state.

    His wife was already lost in slumber, her hair fanned out across the pillow, one arm resting lightly above the nket. The peaceful rise and fall of her chest brought a smile to his lips.


    “Toote,” he whispered to himself, amusement dancing in his eyes.


    He quickly dried his hair, pulled on a pair of shorts, and turned off the bedsidemp.


    The room fell into afortable darkness, the only lighting from the soft glow of the moon filtering through the curtains.


    Quietly, he slipped into bed beside her, careful not to disturb her serene slumber.


    Leaning closer, he pressed a gentle kiss against her cheek, a tender gesture that spoke volumes of his affection.


    “Good night, Eve,” he murmured softly.


    She stirred slightly but didn’t wake, her lips curling into a faint smile as if she had felt his presence in her dreams.


    Axel settled back against the pillows, but sleep did note easily. His mind buzzed with thoughts, refusing to quiet down. The uing Charity Dinner loomedrge in his thoughts, a cloud of responsibility hanging overhead.
