Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 402

Finn could feel Evangeline’s sadness, and he knew this wasn't the right time for such a reaction.

He didn't know why, or when it had started, but his feelings for her were gradually spinning out of his control.

Worried she might notice his sudden awkwardness, Finn didn't dare to move, simply letting her hold him.

After what felt like a long time, Evangeline finally let go.

Her eyes were terribly red, and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke.

“I’m sorry. I lost the ring you gave me.”

At her words, the tension that had gripped Finn finally eased, and he smiled. “Is that all?”

“It’s okay. Once we get out of here, we’ll find a way to get it back.”

“Everything that was lost will come back.”

With that, he sat down beside her, adjusting his clothes to hide his earlier reaction, and said slowly, “When we get back, I won’t tell anyone I saw Theresa.”

This was something that had been weighing heavily on Evangeline’s mind.

As close as she and Finn were, he was still connected to the Lockridges and had a complicated relationship with Victor.

Evangeline knew he would help her, but she wasn’t sure how he would choose between her and Victor.

But if she actually asked him, it would show that she didn't trust him.

She didn’t want to create a rift between them with her own suspicions, especially at such a crucial point in their developing relationship.

After all, she needed Finn for the future of UME and to take down Victor.

Not far away, Soren’s gaze had been fixed on Evangeline ever since she had left the room.

Now, watching the two of them sitting side-by-side, their posture intimate, he felt his heart being squeezed by an invisible hand, the pressure so intense it was hard to breathe.

One hand gripped the trunk of a tree so tightly that his fingertips were scraped raw, but he didn't notice.
