Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 125

Flirting with another man right in front of her own husband?

Soren was so furious he actually laughed. "Evangeline, have you forgotten who you are?"

Evangeline shook her head. "No. I haven't forgotten."

"Haven't forgotten?" Soren scoffed. "Then why, right in front of me, are you making eyes at someone else? Do you think I'm invisible?"

And today, she'd embarrassed him in front of that man—more than once. No wonder he was in such a foul mood.

Staring at Soren's angry face, Evangeline found herself momentarily dazed.

She wasn't stupid. She could see how his gaze kept darting between her and Glenn. Of course she understood the reason for his anger: he thought she was getting a little too close to Glenn.

But hadn't Soren done far worse for Poppy's sake? She'd always assumed that, after everything, he'd be used to seeing her with other men—that it wouldn't bother him anymore.

Turns out, it did. Turns out, when the tables were turned, Soren got angry too.

A small smile touched Evangeline's lips. She mimicked his old tone, "Glenn isn't just anyone—he's my friend."

Glenn nodded in agreement. "We were close friends long before Evangeline ever got married."

"And honestly," Glenn added, glancing at Soren, "I thought, as her husband, you'd know that."

Soren caught the not-so-subtle implication in Glenn's words. His fists clenched at his sides, but in the end, he didn't swing them. No point in lowering himself over a woman—especially one as stubborn as this.

"Fine. Wonderful, Evangeline." His laugh was cold and sharp, and without another word, he turned and walked out.

Soren had always believed he hated Evangeline, wanted her gone. But today, seeing her stand across from him and speak up for another man, the rage he felt was almost enough to drive him mad.

Hearing Soren actually question himself, Gregory was taken aback. For a moment, he thought he must be hearing things. Soren never admitted doubt—not ever.

He didn't dare speak. No matter how wrong Soren might be, he was still the boss, and no boss wants to hear he's at fault.

After a moment, Gregory cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fawkes, in marriage, there's rarely a right or wrong."

"If you truly don't know what to do, maybe… try treating her the way Miss Whitmore always treated you."

Gregory had seen, over the past five years, just how deeply Evangeline loved Soren. Sometimes, even he was moved by the things she did for him. If Soren could give back even half that love, maybe they'd be one of Serenity City's happiest couples.

Soren said nothing. He just stared out the window, his expression darkening as the city lights blurred past.
