Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 150

Last time, when Soren spoke up for Evangeline, Clyde had chalked it up to a momentary lapse—a fit of impulsiveness, nothing more.

But now, it was clear this was no coincidence.

Maybe his son wasn't as indifferent to Evangeline as everyone assumed.

That thought led Clyde's mind back to something else.

After Evangeline's mother passed away, the Fawkes and Whitmore families had met, as agreed, to discuss the engagement between their children. At the time, the Whitmores brought Giselle.

Everyone could see right through the Whitmores' intentions.

Soren had always resented this forced arrangement. That resentment spilled over into his feelings for Evangeline, so in a fit of defiance, he insisted on marrying Giselle.

But the night before the wedding, Soren disappeared for hours, shrouded in mystery, and didn't return until morning.

The next day, when Giselle failed to make it to the ceremony due to some "unexpected accident," the Whitmores promptly substituted Evangeline as the bride.

After raising his son for so many years, Clyde knew exactly what was going through Soren's mind.

He understood, though he simply smiled and kept his thoughts to himself.

"Is Soren really going through with this?" Flora asked. The family meeting had just ended when Poppy called, and Flora filled her in on everything. Poppy hesitated, stunned for a moment.

Maybe, after everything that had happened, she wasn't as shocked as before.

Still, she was almost certain—Soren's heart wasn't completely closed off to Evangeline.

Flora scoffed, "Yeah, who knows what my brother's thinking this time? It's such a big deal, and he lets Evangeline handle it? Maybe she slipped him some kind of love potion and made him fall for her."

At the mention of potions, Poppy pressed her lips together and said nothing.

Flora noticed her silence and hurried to reassure her. "Poppy, don't be mad, okay? There are still a few days before Grandma's birthday. For all we know, my brother might change his mind tomorrow."

Poppy nodded, giving a soft "Mm."

But she knew Soren—once he made up his mind, there was no turning back.
