Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 123

Soren stared at her, stunned and bewildered.

How could she be so calm?

The unease in his chest swelled, tightening until it was almost unbearable.

He never liked seeing people fall apart, but right now, he'd have preferred to see Evangeline break down—screaming, crying, even blaming him outright. Anything would have been better than this. Instead, her face was composed, her eyes strangely clear, the pain inside them fading to something distant.

It felt as if a stone was lodged in his chest—impossible to swallow, impossible to spit out.

After a long moment, his voice came out hoarse. "How did the baby die?"

"Car accident. Miscarriage." Evangeline's reply was brief, almost clinical.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Soren's gaze locked onto her, red-rimmed and desperate.

Evangeline froze for a split second.

He's actually upset?

But then it made sense. The baby was his too. Of course he'd be hurt.

But that didn't change anything.

She met his eyes. "Does it matter why? The baby's gone. What's the point in digging it all up now?"

The lightness in her voice made Soren's frustration flare. She'd hidden her pregnancy from him. The baby was gone, and he'd known nothing. What did she take him for?

He couldn't hold it in any longer. He crossed the space between them in two strides, grabbing her shoulders with both hands, his grip hard enough to bruise. "Evangeline, don't forget—I'm your husband. I'm that baby's father. I have a right to know."
