Forced to Marry the Cold Mafia

Chapter 24: Evelyn's Anxiety

Evelyn has been living with the Dexter family for 2 months. The status remains the same, just be a wife on paper only. There is so much he does not know about this family. Lady Irish and Mr. Luise alone were still so mysterious to Evelyn. Same with Josh.

This afternoon Evelyn and Josh returned home after a day of accompanying Mr. Luise and Mrs Irish in the hospital. The woman immediately entered her room next to Josh's.

The time has already shown at 12pm. Evelyn awoke when she heard the voice of the person speaking. It seems he knows that voice. He immediately got out of bed and rubbed his eyes. Then, slowly open the door and walk in the direction of the voice.

"What's really going on, Eric? Why do all clients cancel transactions? Or is there another cartel trying to attract all my clients–?"

"Since the news of Mr. Luise's accident spread. Looks like they're all almost backing out and looking for another cartel. And, it looks like this has something to do with the accident."

"You've been investigating who tried to harm Daddy?"

"Another mafia group, which seems to have something to do with Mr. Luise's past. They started to crawl up. I got this information from Mr. Markus."

Evelyn who heard Josh's conversation with Eric was only able to open her eyes wide. He immediately closed his mouth so as not to make a sound, his hands had already started to tremble and his legs were almost numb.

A transaction? The cartel? The mafia?

All three of them confused Evelyn. Why are Josh and Eric talking about it?

"Isn't the cartel some kind of organization? The mafia? Does this family belong to the mafia?" Evelyn widened her eyes.

Before he was found out. He immediately went back into the room and locked the door. He walked to the bed and began to position himself to sit and clench his feet.

"Mr Luise and Josh? They're mafia? What about Mrs Irish? Is she also the wife of a mafia?" Evelyn continued to monologue with all the questions that kept spinning in her head.

His hands were trembling more and more. Did he get into a mafia family? Mafia that people think is very scary and not even reluctant to kill anyone. "What because of this, the characters of Josh and Mr. Luise are hard and ambitious. They're mafia! I have to get out of here any way!"

He could faintly hear the sound of footsteps in front of his room. Evelyn curled up and tried to dunk her head between her knees. "I wasn't caught, was I? I hope, I can still live and get out of this house without losing my limbs" he murmured.

Until the night changed to morning. Evelyn who was scared last night apparently overslept. Now, he had to get ready to clean up and wanted to ask Nina about this. Maybe the woman found out about the Dexter family and could answer all of Evelyn's questions.

After feeling ready, Evelyn started to come out of the room. He tried to catch his breath and immediately went down the stairs. Then, upon entering the dining room, his bead suddenly widened. He was surprised to see Josh sitting there in the middle of breakfast.

The man glanced and raised next to his eyebrows. "Why are you surprised to see something creepy? You think I'm a ghost?"

Evelyn tried to shake off all her thoughts about last night. Maybe he misheard and just misunderstood about this family. He shook his head and sat down immediately.

"Today I'm going to pick up my brother. You wanna come with me, or come with Eric to the hospital?"

For Evelyn, for now it's better to travel together with Eric. Because with Josh, he doesn't know what the man will do when there's no one near them. In fact, Josh could have killed him on the grounds that he still did not accept Evelyn as his wife.

"good. I'm taking you for a little bit of pleasantry. Well, you shouldn't have to have a car with me anymore" Josh said coldly.

Evelyn no longer chimed in on Josh. He resumed his breakfast. After that, he was called by Eric to leave immediately and did not have time to ask Nina.

On the way. Eric could see Evelyn's agitated face from the rearview mirror. He immediately asked, "what's wrong, Miss? It seems like something is making your heart uneasy. Or is there something that makes you unsettled?"

Evelyn blinked her eyes. He who was daydreaming about the conversation between Josh and Eric last night was surprised when he got a question. "Ah, no. nothing," she replied a little nervously.

Eric frowned suspiciously. The woman was hiding something. Because from then on it was very unusual, and just kept quiet.

"If you have anything to ask, please Miss. Before it's too late and maybe later you can regret it. I will guarantee secrecy between the two of us, not even Nina I will tell you," insisted Eric.

Evelyn poked her lips in doubt. He closed his eyes for a moment, and opened them again, and asked. "What were you talking about last night, Eric?"

Eric's forehead suddenly shriveled. "You mean? What kind of talk? Me and Mr Josh?" her question ensured that she occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror that showed Evelyn's agitated face.

"Yes. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. But honestly, the conversation between the two of you made my mind drift. I was wondering last night. What family I'm with right now, they seem mysterious and I don't know much about them. Then, last night you and Josh talked about a deal, a cartel and even a mafia. What does that mean? Is Dexter's family the Mafia?"

The cit!

The sound of the car tires squeaking while rubbing against the road. Eric suddenly stopped the vehicle abruptly, making Evelyn stagger slightly forward.

"Why did it suddenly stop, Eric? You almost made my heart drop!"

Eric immediately positioned himself to half-face towards Evelyn. "So, our guess is right. You heard our conversation, Miss? How far did you hear it?"

Evelyn was a little nervous. "I woke up to the sound of people talking and trying to figure out where the source of the sound was. Then, I accidentally heard your conversation. And your conversation made it hard for me to sleep last night. I was scared, also agitated," Evelyn said clasping her hand tightly.

"Forget all you've listened to, Miss. Because it will make it harder for you to keep thinking about it."

How could Evelyn forget the conversation they had heard. Their conversation was so clear. He just wants an answer. "Is the Dexter family a mafia family, Eric? That's all I want to ask."

Eric had no choice but to answer and tell a little about the Dexter family. "Yes, Miss. What you think is right. We are in a mafia family circle. Mr. Luise was already close to retirement due to health issues, but seeing as his son was still infatuated with women, he could not possibly let go of everything he had gained. Then, unbeknownst to Mr. Luise, Mr. Josh had already gathered some clients and it was certainly not an indiscriminate person. You should know Miss, Mr. Josh is not what your eyes look like right now."
