The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: A Forgotten Encounter

Axel’s hand tightened around his cell phone as he asked, "I slept with her?"

Liam’s foot nearly slipped off the accelerator to hear those words.

The car wobbled for half a second before he regained control.

Axel’s head snapped forward slightly before he returned his attention to Collins on the phone.

"Don’t talk nonsense," Axel said, his voice sharp, cold, edged with shock. "I never even remember ever meeting her."

The denial came too quickly.

Too forcefully.

Which only made the silence afterward feel suspiciously loud.

"How could I have a son with her?" Axel demanded.

Liam’s eyes widened. Of all the things he expected to hear during his workday, accidental paternity scandals involving supermodels ranked impressively low on the list.

Collins hesitated. "Boss... I’m not really sure about it," he admitted. "But Dylan surely knows everything about it. I will ask him."

Axel’s expression darkened instantly.

Dylan.

Of course.

If there was anyone cursed with a disturbingly accurate memory of Axel’s past romantic disasters, it was Dylan.

Axel ended the call slowly. He stared ahead, his reflection faintly visible in the tinted glass.

His thoughts are now too busy to recall the faint memory of his life before he met Evelyn.

A supermodel.

A forgotten encounter.

A possible child.

His irritation twisted into something heavier. More dangerous.

Because Axel Knight’s forgetting sleeping with a woman was not merely unusual. It was impossible. And he hated it when the impossibilities were disturbed.

Liam cleared his throat cautiously.

"...Boss?"

Axel did not look at him.

"Yes?"

"...Should I prepare for a DNA test detour, or are we pretending none of this is happening?"

Axel’s eyes shifted toward the driver.

Liam instantly regretted his existence.

Axel leaned back again, his voice calm, smooth, and deeply threatening. "Drive!"

Liam nodded rapidly.

"Yes, boss." He pressed harder on the accelerator.

...

"Boss, we’ve arrived..." Liam’s hoarse and hesitant voice cut through Axel’s thoughts just as the car rolled to a smooth stop.

Axel blinked, feeling a bit out of it, like his mind had drifted off somewhere else for a bit.

He adjusted his coat casually before stepping out, but the moment his gaze lifted, everything else lost significance.

Evelyn stood just beyond the door.
