Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 476

When Theresa Carlisle stepped out of the Carlisle estate, she wasn't surprised to find Victor Lockridge wasn't there.

Instead, a handsome, unfamiliar young man with a gentle and refined air stood at the door. The warm noon sun cast a soft golden halo around him.

For some reason, Theresa's heart skipped a beat.

A strange feeling washed over her.

Evangeline Whitmore would later recall something Theresa had told her.

"A blind person doesn't realize the darkness is abnormal until they see the light," Theresa had said calmly.

From a young age, her father, Kearney Carlisle, had told her she was destined to marry into the Lockridge family, and she had accepted it. Among the eligible young men in the Lockridge family, only Victor had truly captured her fancy.

He was handsome.

And he was good to her.

Because of this, she had never doubted that she liked Victor and would one day be his wife. But the moment she saw Jason, her world was turned upside down.

It wasn't just her feelings; it was her entire life.

Theresa had always known she had a rebellious streak, but because of her brother, Glenn Carlisle, it had been firmly suppressed before it could ever surface.

Unlike Theresa, Glenn was openly rebellious, constantly clashing with Kearney, who would often be left fuming. Back then, Theresa still admired her father, and knowing he disliked Glenn's behavior, she pushed her own rebellious thoughts down.

But suppressed feelings always have a way of returning with a vengeance.

The skipped heartbeat she felt when she saw Jason made her question her love for Victor.

At first, she wondered if she was just being fickle.

She had plenty of other suitors, many of them quite impressive, but when she tried spending time with them, she never felt the same strange flutter she experienced with Jason.

That day, she didn't dare approach Jason. The moment she realized it was him and not Victor, she turned and went back inside.

It was Kearney who welcomed Jason in and accepted the jewelry box Victor had sent as an apology.

"Whether Victor came himself or not, the thought alone puts him ahead of most men."
