Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 264

Soren's voice was hoarse and subdued, tinged with an unfamiliar note of uncertainty that was completely at odds with his usual arrogant confidence.

Evangeline paused. She could count on one hand the number of times Soren had ever spoken to her in that tone. He never cared about her feelings, so why would he care if she was angry? It seemed being with Poppy had changed him more than she thought. Still, she couldn't figure out why he was asking her this now.

The truth was, she *was* annoyed. Being woken up in the middle of the night for something so trivial would irritate anyone. But she had no desire to waste her time arguing about it.

"Let's just forget it this time," she said wearily. "But I hope it doesn't happen again."

She didn't expect him to actually listen, but to her surprise, he replied with a quiet, "Okay."

Then he added, "Evangeline, I'll wait for you to come back."

His words confused her. Come back? Back where? Before she could ask, Theo approached her, clearly wanting to talk. She was about to hang up, but Soren beat her to it.

Shrugging it off, she put her phone away.

After ending the call, Soren summoned Gregory and told him to drive him to Evangeline's apartment. Gregory, who had heard Soren was sick, was initially confused, but then he put the pieces together. Mr. Fawkes was playing the sympathy card to win back Miss Whitmore.
