Oliver rested his chin on his hand, a thoughtful look spreading across his face that was strikingly similar to his father’s. The sight was so amusing that Evelyn found herself stifling a laugh, her eyes sparkling with mirth.

Suddenly, Oliver’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he exclaimed, “Mommy… I got an idea!”

Evelyn leaned forward, curiosity piqued. “Oh really? What is it, sweetheart?”

His small face beamed with enthusiasm as he shared his plan. “We can make him the most delicious cake ever! And cook all his favorite foods! Then we can surprise him at the cabin! How does that sound?”

Evelyn’s heart swelled with pride, and her smile broadened. “Wow, that sounds absolutely perfect, darling! Your daddy will love your cooking…”

Oliver nodded vigorously, his confidence shining through. “Then it’s settled! I will cook for Daddy. But you have to help me, Mommy.”

“Deal,” she replied, extending her pinky finger toward him.

His face broke into a wide grin as he linked his tiny pinky with hers, sealing their promise.

“Promise we won’t tell Daddy?” he asked, his voice laced with mischief.

“Promise,” she whispered, her heart warming at their shared secret.

As they giggled together like two conspirators, Evelyn gazed at her son, feeling an overwhelming tide of love and gratitude wash over her. In that moment, the complexities of her life, including William Walters and the tangled web of secrets between the Walters and the Knights, faded into the background.

What truly mattered now was her perfect life and her little boy—her anchor, her solace.

The afternoon sun poured through the window, casting a warm, golden hue across the room, wrapping them in a cocoon of happiness.

Once Oliver finally drifted off into a peaceful slumber for his afternoon nap, Evelyn tiptoed down the staircase, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she welcomed the quiet.

12:09

The house was tranquil, bathed in the soft, fading light of the late afternoon sun.

Evelyn envisioned a restful afternoon in her bedroom, perhaps indulging in a light drama before Axel returned home. The thought of slipping into relaxation filled her with a sense of contentment.

She kicked off her slippers and stretched out on the cozy sofa, her plan simple yet satisfying: recline, sip her latte, and momentarily forget the chaos that often loomed outside her door.

However, fate and the relentless internet had other plans in store.

Absentmindedly, she picked up her phone, scrolling through notifications that flickered across the screen.

But as soon as her eyes landed on a trending news article, her stomach twisted into knots—not because of her own life or Axel, but because of someone else entirely.

Her thumb froze over an article that flashed across multiple news sites, the headline bold and scandalous:

[Supermodel & Rising Movie Star Irina Hunter Caught in a Secret Affair with Business Heir Maxime Knight!]

Evelyn blinked, her heart racing as she sat up straighter, curiosity piqued. She tapped the article to read more.

The piece was rife with scandalous photographs: Maxime and Irina strolling hand-in-hand along a secluded beach, sharing a tender kiss under the sun, and sipping champagne while wearing swimwear that left little to the imagination.

“Oh my god…” Evelyn gasped, a playful smile creeping onto her face as she covered her mouth in disbelief.

The article revealed how Maxime Knight, heir to the Knight Corporation’s luxury division, had been secretly financing Irina’s career for years, propelling her rise in the modeling world.

Their relationship, it suggested, was not merely professional—it was deeply personal, intertwined in ways that made the heart race.

Yet, the twist in the tale? Maxime was engaged to someone else, and Irina had her own fiancé.

The media had seized this scandal with a fervor, dragging both their names through the mud, and Evelyn couldn’t help but feel a sense of wicked delight.

“Wah… This could really distract the netizens from me and Axel,” she chuckled, her spirits lifting as she entertained the thought.

As she scrolled down to the comments section, she found the netizens sharpening their claws, ready to feast on the drama unfolding.

“So THAT’S how she landed all those high-end deals. Not talent… just Maxime Knight’s wallet!”

“Imagine cheating on your fiancé with a man who’s cheating on his fiancée. That’s some Olympic-level scandal.”

“Poor Sean. He deserves better than this runway disaster!”

“Maxime, buddy, you just nuked your family name. Congrats!”

“Irina Hunter? More like Irina Hunter-for-Rich-Men.”

Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh as she read through the comments. The internet had a knack for being both ruthless and hilarious when it chose to be.

As she scrolled further, another headline caught her attention, making her eyes widen even more.

[Pop Singer Sean Arthur Breaks Silence: ‘Irina and I Are Still Engaged!’]

Apparently, Sean—the dashing pop star known for his romantic ballads—had been blindsided by the news. His statement only added fuel to the fire for Irina.

“I was as shocked as everyone else. I had no idea about any involvement between my fiancée and Maxime Knight. I believed we were still planning our wedding.”

The comments below were a chaotic mix of sympathy and outrage.

“Protect Sean at all costs!”

“Sean writing a breakup album about this will be the end of me.”

“Hey, can someone check on Sean’s publicist? They must be freaking out.”

“Maxime and Irina just ended both their careers. Bold move.”

Evelyn shook her head, torn between laughter and sympathy.

But as she set her phone down, a realization began to form in her mind, slowly but surely.

She recalled her recent visit to the Knight mansion, where Maxime had been present, wearing that smug grin, as if he owned the world.

And now? It seemed the world had taken control of him instead.

“Wait, wait…” Evelyn murmured, narrowing her eyes as a thought crossed her mind. “Is this Axel’s doing? I remember he clearly didn’t like Maxime.”

It wasn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility. She had witnessed Axel navigate scandals before, and his instincts were razor-sharp. When it came to media manipulation, he was a master strategist.

The timing felt suspiciously convenient.

Just as the scandal surrounding her and Axel began to fade, Maxime and Irina’s story erupted, capturing the attention of every news outlet.

“Did he really just throw his cousin to the wolves?” Evelyn pondered aloud, caught between admiration and disbelief.

It was precisely the kind of maneuver she and Oscar often employed: burying bad publicity beneath an even hotter headline.

Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head in amusement.

“That man…” she chuckled, a warm feeling spreading through her as she continued to read the hilarious comments from netizens.

Eventually, she closed the article, feeling a strong urge to call Axel and discuss it with him.

But then she hesitated, debating whether to call or text.

A call might interrupt him at work, and she didn’t want to come across as accusatory.

So, she began typing instead.

“Axel, finally, netizens forgot about us. Now your cousin’s trending.”

She chuckled at her own message before hitting send. Then, feeling a playful nudge of curiosity, she added another message.

“Did you do that?”

Satisfied with her words, she set her phone down and turned on the television, scrolling through channels in search of a light-hearted drama.

Yet, before she could settle into anything, her phone vibrated again. The name on the screen instantly softened her expression.

“Hubby.”

As Evelyn navigated the whirlwind of emotions and revelations that unfolded throughout the day, she found solace in the simple joys of motherhood and the unexpected twists of fate. The laughter shared with Oliver, their secret plan to surprise Axel, served as a reminder of the love that anchored her amidst the chaos. The news of Maxime and Irina’s scandal not only provided a welcome distraction from her own life but also sparked a sense of admiration for Axel’s cunning ability to manipulate the media.
