    Axel’s gaze flickered toward her, a mischievous smirk stretching across his face, growing wider with each passing moment. “So, you thought you could keep your little surprise n under wraps? I’m aware of it, you know.”


    Evelyn’s eyes widened, disbelief washing over her features. “No way! Did our little boss spill the beans?”


    “In a roundabout way… not directly, of course,” Axel replied, hisughter soft and warm. “But he left enough breadcrumbs for even the dimmest among us to follow. Something about a ‘super-secret party’ and ‘Mommy’s shiny present.''”


    Evelyn erupted intoughter, shaking her head in mock disbelief. “Oh, for heaven’s sake! I specifically told him to keep it a secret, not to announce it to the universe!”


    “He tried his best,” Axel said, amusement dancing in his eyes. “But you know how he is—his excitement is contagious. He was practically puffing out his chest with pride. You can’t me him for that.”


    Evelyn leaned back against the plush seat, herughter still bubbling softly within her.


    “I won’t hold it against him. I can just picture him pacing around, biting his tongue to keep from spilling the secret. Poor kid. It must have been absolute torture for him to keep quiet, especially since he loves narrating every little detail.”


    “Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy is in the loop too. He’s probably been interrogated by our little detective all week long,” Axel mused, a yful glint in his eyes.


    “Of course, he knows,” Evelyn replied, a teasing smile lighting up her face. “Jimmy’s the one helping me with the dinner arrangements. And Danny’s in on it as well. Someone has to whip up your favorite dishes, after all.”


    For a moment, Axel simply stared at her, feigning disbelief as if she had just told him the most outrageous tale.


    “So now my butler and my chef are part of your little conspiracy?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.


    She attempted to maintain an innocent expression but failed miserably, bursting into giggles as she replied, “They didn’t betray you, I promise! They’re just helping me craft the perfect surprise. You know, teamwork!”


    Axel chuckled softly, shaking his head in mock resignation. “Unbelievable. My own staff has turned against me.”


    Evelyn reached out, her hand gently patting his shoulder, her eyes sparkling with affection.


    “Oh,e on, Mr. Knight. Don’t look so heartbroken. You’re cherished, that’s all. Everyone just wants to make your day unforgettable.”


    Axel gave her a long, amused look, finally letting out a sigh of defeat. “You really have a way of making that house feel like home, Eve.”


    The sincerity in his voice made her heart swell, a tightness forming in her chest as she blinked in surprise.


    “Thank you,” she murmured softly, her tone gentle. “But you add the excitement.”


    He chuckled, the corners of his mouth lifting in a yful smile. “That’s how we bnce each other out.”


    Evelyn smiled back, her gaze drifting toward the window as the car glided smoothly along the quiet road.


    The warm orange glow of the setting sun bathed everything in a golden hue, while the distant city lights began to twinkle like stars awakening from slumber. It was a scene so serene, it felt almost too perfect to be real.


    After a brief moment, Axel reached over, his hand enveloping hers, his thumb brushing gently over her knuckles, sending a delightful shiver up her spine.


    She turned to look at him, her heart tugging at the sight of his easy smile—the one that always made her heart skip a beat.


    Neither of them spoke; thefortable silence wrapped around them like a warm nket, conveying more than words ever could.


    Evelyn leaned back in her seat, still holding his hand, a soft smile gracing her lips.


    “You know,” she said quietly, her voice barely above a whisper, “I think this might just be my favorite drive home ever.”


    Axel nced at her, his eyes radiating warmth. “Good,” he replied, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. “Because every road taken with you leads me home.”


    Evelyn rolled her eyes at his smooth charm, but she couldn’t suppress the grin spreading across her face. “You’re such a smooth talker.”


    He chuckled lightly, his eyes still fixed on the road ahead. “Only for you, Mrs. Knight.”


    With that, the car continued down the illuminated street, speeding toward the Valley, where their hearts awaited them.


    As the vehicle finally came to a stop in front of their home, the front door swung open before Axel even had the chance to engage the handbrake.


    A small figure darted across the driveway,ughter ringing out like music in the air.


    “Daddy! Mommy!” Oliver called out, his tiny legs moving with all the speed they could muster.


    Jimmy followed closely behind, struggling to keep pace, but the four-year-old was far too quick. “Young master, wait! Don’t get too close to the car…”


    Axel stepped out of the car, a broad smile breaking across his face as he watched his son barreling toward him. He barely had time to straighten himself before Oliver leapt into his arms, giggling as Axel caught him effortlessly.


    “Whoa there, slow down, buddy,” Axel said, his deep voiceced with amusement. “Someone really, really missed us, huh?”


    Oliver beamed, a mixture of excitement and a hint of distress flickering across his features.


    “I missed both of you so much!” he eximed. Then, noticing Evelyn with her curious and slightly worried expression, he added, “Mommy, you’rete…”


    Evelyn had just stepped out of the car when she caught that. Sheughed, leaning in to nt a kiss on her son’s cheek.


    “Oh, sweetheart, I’m so sorry! Mommy took a bit longer than nned…”


    “I waited all day! I didn’t even take a nap because I didn’t want to miss when you got here,” he dered, his face falling into a sad expression.


    Evelyn gasped softly, her hand brushing gently against his cheek. “Oh no! Really? You must be exhausted!”


    Oliver quickly shook his head, determination shining in his eyes.


    “No, I’m strong! I waited because I wanted to tell you… I learned how to ride a big horse today! Mr. Harris said I did amazing!”


    “Really?” Axel asked, feigning shock. “Already a horse rider? What’s next, racing cars?”


    Oliverughed proudly, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “Maybe next week—”


    Evelyn’s heart swelled with pride as she showered him with affectionate kisses on his cheeks. “My little rider! Mommy’s so proud of you.”


    “And I practiced piano too!” Oliver added, his voice bubbling with joy.


    “You practiced both piano and horse riding? Wow, that’s impressive!” Evelyn eximed, her admiration evident.


    “Because I’m a big boy now!” he dered, puffing out his chest with pride.


    Axel chuckled softly, shifting him in his arms. “Big enough to stay awake all day, I see.”


    Oliver gave him a sleepy look, though his excitement remained undiminished.


    “It’s okay, Daddy. I waited because I wanted to ask Mommy something.”


    “Oh?” Evelyn asked, smiling as she brushed a stray hair from his forehead. “What do you want to ask, sweetheart?”


    Oliver leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially, “Mommy, how was your mission to get Daddy’s present?”


    But his voice was loud enough for Axel to overhear.


    Evelyn bit her lip to suppress herughter, and Axel raised an eyebrow, clearly entertained.


    “Oh, the mission?” She whispered back, a yful glint in her eyes. “It was a resounding sess.”


    “Yay! Then Daddy’s going to love it!” he whispered back excitedly.


    “Of course…” Evelyn replied, her gaze flickering toward Axel, who was observing the exchange with a curious expression.


    “Hmm, I’m sure I will,” Axel thought, shifting his focus between his wife and son, a warm smile on his face.


    “Alright,” Axel announced, starting to walk toward the house while securely holding Oliver in his arms. “Now, let’s head inside.”
