Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 68

"No need," Soren replied, his tone like ice. "And make sure you erase every trace that I was ever here."

He wasn't about to give Evangeline the satisfaction.

If she wanted to play games, let her play them alone.

He was curious to see how long Evangeline could keep up this little charade.

Watching Soren's resolute figure disappear down the hallway, Gregory wiped the cold sweat from his brow, unable to keep from grumbling inwardly.

He'd worked for Mr. Fawkes for years, but he could count on one hand the times he'd seen him like this.

Sulking like a child, throwing a tantrum.

Just moments ago, he'd been so concerned about Evangeline, and now he was pretending none of it had happened.

How was Miss Whitmore ever supposed to know what he really felt?

Gregory sighed.

Still, he knew better than to fan the flames. All he could do was follow orders and keep his own counsel.

…

Meanwhile, Glenn dropped Evangeline off in front of Fawkes Manor.

The medication prescribed yesterday had worked wonders, and after a night's rest, her injured ankle was almost as good as new.

She'd planned to drive herself, but as soon as Glenn heard she was heading out, he didn't hesitate—he pulled up outside her building to give her a ride.

When she got his message that he was downstairs, Evangeline felt a little embarrassed.

Glenn had just returned from abroad, but she was already putting him out.

Glenn just waved it off. "We were supposed to sign the contract today anyway, and I'll need your help with plenty of things now that I'm back."

With nothing more to say, she let it go.

Once the car stopped, Evangeline stepped out and walked toward the villa she'd called home for five years.

The flowerbeds were bursting with color, and the old wooden swing swayed gently in the breeze beside the front porch.

It was exactly as she'd left it.

Everything except the people.
