    **TITLE: Secret Lover 193**


    **He Wasn’t Ready!**


    Oliver’sughter rang out like a melody, a sound that could brighten the gloomiest of days. He tugged eagerly at Axel’s leg, his tiny fingers gripping the fabric of his father’s jeans.


    “Daddy, let’s y bubble…” he chirped, his eyes sparkling with excitement.


    Axel bent down, his strong arms effortlessly lifting his son into the air, cradling him against his chest.


    “You’ve got bubbles all over your face, Buddy,” he teased, his voice warm and yful as he gently brushed a bit of foam from Oliver’s cheek.


    Oliver erupted into another fit of giggles, the innocence of hisughter filling the air around them, a sound so pure it was almost contagious.


    Evelyn stood nearby, watching the two with a soft smile that illuminated her features. For a fleeting moment, the world around them faded away, and everything felt perfectly in sync. It was a serene tableau, one that felt like a sanctuary against the chaos of life.


    But then, the tranquility shattered as Axel’s phone buzzed insistently in his pocket, a sharp reminder of the outside world.


    Evelyn nced at the device, her brow slightly furrowed with curiosity. “You’re quite the popr one today,” she quipped lightly, trying to keep the mood buoyant.


    Axel, feeling the weight of the message, tucked the phone deeper into his pocket. “Nothing important,” he replied, though a hint of tension lingered in his voice.


    “Are you sure?” she asked, tilting her head slightly, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity. “You look like you’re about to throw it into theke…”


    He chuckled softly, the thought amusing yet unsettling. “Tempting idea,” he admitted, a smirk ying on his lips.


    Evelyn’s smile deepened with understanding, but she chose not to push further. Over time, she had learned to recognize the signs—Axel could appear calm on the surface while a storm brewed beneath.


    He took a moment to observe her, her eyes sparkling with warmth as she gently took Oliver from his arms.


    “Oliver, go y with Cloud and Browny…” she instructed softly, her tone nurturing.


    “Hmmm,” Oliver replied, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. He turned back to Axel, wrapping his small arms around his father for a quick hug. “Bye, Daddy…” he called out, darting off toward the barn with uncontainable energy.


    Axel watched him go, a smile tugging at his lips. In that moment, he wished he could freeze time, to hold onto the joy of this morning forever, shielded from the impending chaos that loomed just beyond their peaceful existence. Yet, the weight of his father’s text loomedrge in his mind.


    “This is rted to your mother.”


    That line echoed relentlessly, refusing to fade away. Axel felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He didn’t easily believe anything his father said, especially not when it concerned family matters. Yet, the mention of his mother stirred unease within him.


    ‘Could it be true? Is there really a connection between my mother and Evelyn’s family?’ he pondered, shaking his head as if to clear the thought.


    It seemed ludicrous. Sure, the Walters and the Knights might have shared some history, but Evelyn was his wife, his family now. She had nothing to do with whatever past troubles had existed.


    Still, the weight of uncertainty pressed against him, heavy and unwee.


    Evelyn turned back to him, her smile softening the moment. “Axel, don’t forget to have lunch before your meeting, okay?” she reminded him gently, her concern evident in her voice.


    He nodded, though his mind was still elsewhere. “I will,” he promised, though the assurance felt hollow.


    She studied him for a moment longer, her gaze searching. “You seem distracted. Is everything alright?”


    “Everything’s fine,” Axel replied, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.


    Evelyn’s expression remained skeptical, but she decided to let it go for now. “Alright. Just don’t overwork yourself,” she said, her voiceced with warmth and care.


    “Hmmm… I will listen to my wife,” he said, wrapping his arm around her waist and nting a soft kiss on the top of her head, savoring the moment of intimacy.


    As he walked toward the front yard, he pulled out his phone once more, his thumb hovering over the message from his father.


    With a deep breath, he typed a brief response.


    “I’lle byter.”


    But after a few seconds of contemtion, he deleted it instead.


    No.


    Not yet.


    Whatever Alexander wanted to discuss could wait. For now, he craved to hold onto this moment, to bask in theughter of his son and the warmth radiating from his wife’s presence.


    Even if the truth loomed ahead, heavy and inevitable, he wasn’t prepared to confront it just yet.


    —


    The morning air was crisp and invigorating as Axel stepped out of the house, his phone already pressed against his ear, the familiar sound of the city waking up around him.


    When Collins finally answered, his voice was thick with sleep. “Bo-Boss? You do realize it’s barely sunrise, right?”


    “Then wake up,” Axel replied tly, descending the front steps with purpose. “I need you to check something. My father somehow found out that I’m married to Evelyn.”


    A long yawn echoed through the line.


    “He what? Wait… give me a second. Are we talking about the same father who still uses his phone only to read financial news?”


    “The very same,” Axel shot back, irritation creeping into his tone. “I want to know how he found out. Check if he’s received any messages or calls mentioning Evelyn or me. I need answers fast.”


    Collins sighed, clearly still grappling with the remnants of sleep. “You know, normal people call their ‘IT’ guys during working hours, not while they’re brushing their teeth. But fine, I’m on it. Just don’t expect me to sound cheerful before coffee.”


    “Then drink two cups,” Axel replied, ending the call with a sense of urgency.


    As he approached the sleek ck Maybach waiting for him, Liam was already there, holding the door open with his usual calm demeanor.


    “Good morning, Boss,” Liam greeted, his voice steady.


    Axel nodded slightly as he slid into the back seat. “Morning. How’s your new position treating you?”


    Liam chuckled nervously as he settled behind the wheel. “You mean my old position. Back to being your driver instead of Madam’s.”


    “Don’t me me,” Axel said, a hint of amusement creeping into his voice. “Is it all because of theizens?”


    “Because of theizens,” Liam groaned. “They made it look like Madam and I were having a secret affair just because I opened her car door a few too many times. I swear, one gossip post, and suddenly I’m the viin.”


    Axel smirked, enjoying the banter. “You do have a suspiciously photogenic face. Maybe that’s the problem.”


    “Hahaha. Boss, please tell that to my mother. She thinks I ruined my career. Now I’m banned from even looking in Madam’s direction. The world’s unfair.”


    “Stopining and drive,” Axel said dryly, though a smile tugged at his lips, the humor lightening the mood.


    They drove in silence for a while, the city streets gradually filling with the hustle and bustle of morning traffic.


    Yet, Axel’s mind was a whirlwind, consumed by the mystery of his father’s strange message.


    ‘How did he know?’


    Only a handful of trusted individuals were aware of his marriage, and none would dare betray his confidence.


    His phone buzzed again, pulling him from his thoughts.


    It was Collins.


    Axel answered immediately, his voice firm. “Talk.”


    “Alright, so here’s what I’ve got,” Collins stated briskly. “I checked all of your father’s devices. There’s no trace… no emails, no text messages, no encryptedmunications. Nothing about you or Evelyn. It’s clean.”


    Axel’s frown deepened.


    “That doesn’t make sense. How did he find out?”


    “I thought so too,” Collins continued. “I double-checked his assistants’ phones, his secretary’s, even the security system logs at his mansion. Still clean.”


    “So he’s just guessing,” Axel muttered, annoyance simmering beneath the surface. “And I fell right into his trap by replying to him.”


    “Maybe,” Collins said thoughtfully. “But there’s one more thing. ording to the gate logs from this morning, Maxime visited your father’s house. Around eight… and I guess he was the one who exposed you.”


    The air in the car seemed to freeze, the weight of the revtion settling heavily between them.


    Axel’s jaw tightened, a storm brewing within him.Conclusion
