Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 405

But Evangeline had been married to him in Serenity City for five years. The Whitmore family had cut ties with her, and the Fawkes family, led by him, had refused to accept her. She had lived in that state for five long years.

Before, he had never understood why Evangeline was so insistent on divorcing him.

But now, in this very moment, Soren felt he finally understood.

Because for her, the marriage had been nothing but pain from beginning to end.

The sky grew darker.

With only two small wooden cabins fit for living, Finn and Leo shared one room for the night, while Evangeline and Theresa shared the other.

For the past two nights, she had slept outside, cold and worried about potential dangers, and hadn't slept well at all.

Perhaps feeling safe now, Evangeline finally had a good night's sleep.

But her messed-up internal clock still woke her just as the sky began to lighten.

Theresa was sleeping soundly. Evangeline needed to use the restroom but didn't want to disturb her. She tucked the blanket around her friend, then quietly got up and went outside.

The air was many times fresher than in Serenity City.

After the rain, the sky had cleared, and a beautiful rainbow stretched across the horizon.

Evangeline instinctively reached for her pocket to take a picture, only to remember she didn't have her phone.

Soren, kept awake all night by Leo’s words and memories of his years with Evangeline, hadn’t slept a wink.

When he heard movement from Evangeline's room in the morning, he had followed her out, wanting to apologize.

He walked up beside her, about to speak, but Evangeline seemed to sense his approach first.

She assumed he couldn't stand the harsh conditions and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Without turning her head, she said flatly, “I spoke with Theresa. Leo knows the way. He’ll guide you back to Serenity City today.”

“Guide me back?” Soren caught the implication in her words. “What about you?”
