Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 26

Soren's frown deepened, lines creasing his brow.

He'd assumed Evangeline was just venting, never imagining she'd actually start packing her things to leave.

A surge of irritation rose in his chest. "Evangeline, are you done with this nonsense?"

"Nonsense?" Evangeline echoed, bewildered by his anger and his accusation. What nonsense had she made?

She glanced at Poppy, who had hurried over, and her voice turned sharp. "What's so wrong with me leaving? Or do you expect the three of us to live here together?"

It was a reminder—a pointed one—that she was willing to step aside, to give Soren and Poppy time alone.

She thought he'd understand, but Soren just looked at her like she was speaking another language. "It's only for a while. Why not?"

Poppy's apartment was under renovation, and he was merely helping her out temporarily.

Was she really jealous over something so trivial?

They were married, after all. Shouldn't she see how unreasonable this jealousy was?

Evangeline hadn't expected that answer and stood there, momentarily at a loss.

So, he actually enjoyed having both women under the same roof?

She let out a bitter laugh. "Sorry, maybe you're used to it, but I find it a little too crowded."

With that, Evangeline brushed past him and headed downstairs.

Soren was left in a fog, sensing there was more in her words than she let on. "Evangeline, what's that supposed to mean? Say it clearly!"

He strode after her, but Poppy quickly caught his arm.

"Let her go, Soren," she said softly. "Evangeline's just upset right now. Give her some space to cool off."

Upset? If anything, Soren felt even more annoyed.

They were married—what more did she want from him? Did she really think threatening to walk out would scare him?
