The moment Axel Knight entered the hall, all whispers appeared to revolve around him.
His tall frame and calm confidence drew attention like gravity itself.
He wasn't just handsome; he carried that commanding presence that made people stop mid-sentence and forget what they were saying.
Axel exchanged polite greetings with the hosts and sponsors who hurried over to approach and greet him.
Cameras flashed discreetly as the reporters and socialites who had followed him tried to sneak more photos.
Evelyn instinctively took half a step back, lowering her gaze.
"Oh no. He's coming this way."
Jackson Lincoln grinned beside her, clearly amused.
"What's wrong, Mrs. Knight? Don't want to be seen with your husband?" he teased in a low voice.
Evelyn sighed silently. She still couldn't believe Axel had shown up at this charity dinner. He hadn't mentioned anything about coming when he called her this afternoon.
