Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 224

Evangeline had been distracted all morning, unable to focus ever since she heard about Theresa. Her hair hung loose over her shoulders, unbrushed, and as the convertible sped down the road, the wind whipped it into a wild tangle.

She glanced down at her wrists, then rummaged through her bag, only to realize she’d forgotten a hair tie.

Just then, a long, elegant hand reached lazily in front of her, holding out a silk scarf between graceful fingers.

“Here, use this for now,” Finn said.

Without hesitation, Evangeline took it from him. “Thanks.”

The scarf was cool and smooth to the touch—definitely real silk.

Of course, she already owed Finn far too much. The diamond ring on her finger alone was more than she could ever repay at the moment. She’d have to find an opportunity to settle the score later.

So, what was one more silk scarf?

She grasped one end, wrapped the scarf around her hair twice, and tied it at the nape of her neck. Her hair was now loosely gathered at the back.

Finn glanced over at her with a smile. “A beautiful woman makes even a scarf look better,” he teased.

Evangeline flushed at the compliment. “Thanks. And… thank you for today.”

She wasn’t surprised Finn knew where she lived. In a city like Serenity, it was easy to find out about anyone—especially someone like her, the punchline of so many jokes.

Finn gave a soft laugh. “It’s only right to take care of my girlfriend. There’s no need to thank me. If he bothers you again, call me. I told you I’d keep you safe, and I keep my promises.”

His tone was light, but his words were sincere.

Evangeline didn’t dwell on it.

Soon, the car pulled up outside UME.

Finn leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of her hand. “Wait for me after work. I’ll drive you home.”

She nodded, and they parted ways.

Once inside the office, Evangeline checked her phone and saw that Glenn had left on a business trip early that morning.

The whole company was in chaos over the latest order, everyone running around frantically.

Evangeline herself was buried in the integration of beta test data, barely able to keep her head above water. There was no time to think about anything else.

It wasn’t until lunchtime, when she got a call from the detective, that she finally managed to collect the photos with the new leads.

That evening, Finn arrived on time to pick her up.

After dropping her off at the entrance to her building, Finn didn’t linger—he had other plans.

“I’ve heard things aren’t too safe lately. Stay home as much as you can, alright?” he reminded her before leaving.
