Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 184

Soren tapped open his phone and saw a brief message from Evangeline.

“I’m at the manor.”

He frowned. “Didn’t we agree I’d pick you up?”

Evangeline replied, “You’re late.”

He glanced at the time. “Only by an hour.”

Worried something might happen at the birthday celebration, he’d hired extra security and spent time making sure everything was in place. It had slowed him down.

Today was his grandmother’s birthday, and he thought Evangeline would understand.

Evangeline was waiting in the entry hall of the old manor when Soren’s message came through. She wasn’t surprised by his response.

Just an hour.

For Soren, an hour really was “just” an hour. When he was in a good mood, he’d show up two or three hours late to meet her; when he wasn’t, he’d leave her waiting all night.

An hour was nothing.

She used to think nothing of it, but this time, she simply didn’t feel like waiting anymore.

When she didn’t reply, Soren sent a question mark.

She answered calmly, “An hour is still time, and I have things to do with mine.”

“No one will wait for you forever.”

Soren laughed in disbelief when he read her message.

He thought she was being dramatic—but her words had a certain bite to them. He’d slipped up before, but she’d never spoken to him like this.

Clearly, UME’s launch event had given her some new backbone.

They’d been married five years. He knew Evangeline’s capabilities—an ordinary college degree, no advanced studies, nothing to her name except being the Whitmore family’s heiress. Nothing special. The big robotics project—he doubted she’d really done it herself. Most likely, Glenn had arranged for her to get the credit.
