Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 113

She asked the question as if it were just an afterthought. "Soren, when are you coming home?"

Her tone was casual, almost like a wife asking after her husband.

Evangeline had asked Soren this, too—countless times before.

And every single time, his impatience was barely concealed. "Evangeline, do you ever realize how annoyingly persistent you are? Just mind your own business. I can't stand people meddling in my affairs."

Whenever she tried to tell him she was worried, he'd just hang up on her.

Soren always said he hated when people tried to parent him.

But now, after Poppy asked the very same question, his mood didn't change in the slightest. In fact, his voice was almost gentle. "I won't be able to make it back tonight."

Evangeline smiled quietly at that.

It wasn't that Soren hated people interfering in his life.

He just hated it when it came from someone he didn't love.

Hearing Soren's words, Poppy sounded a little disappointed. "Are you staying at the old house, then? But don't you have an important meeting tomorrow morning?"

"It's fine, I'll make it in time—"

"Ah!"

Soren hadn't even finished his sentence when a sudden scream echoed from the other end of the line.

Evangeline saw his expression twist with concern in an instant.

"What happened?" Soren's voice was tense. "Poppy, are you okay?"

But there was no reply.

The call was cut off immediately.

Of course there was no answer. Evangeline could see right through this game—Poppy was doing it on purpose, to lure Soren home.
