Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 406

Of course, Evangeline had only said it out of anger.

She expected Soren to be furious. After all, comparing him to Finn and then declaring she’d rather be Finn’s mistress than marry him was a profound insult.

Soren was a man accustomed to being on a pedestal, with people falling over themselves to flatter and pursue him. He had never been humiliated like this.

But to her surprise, Soren’s face only paled for a moment.

“Do you really like him that much?”

Whatever he was thinking, he quickly regained his composure. “I can agree to you having a secret affair with him.”

“As long as it doesn’t get leaked to the media, I can accept it.”

“I can turn a blind eye until you two break up.”

Evangeline was stunned into silence, certain she must have misheard him.

Had he lost his mind?

The thought was so jarring that she couldn't help but ask it aloud. “Have you forgotten you’re engaged to Poppy?”

“And she’s pregnant with your child.”

As if he had anticipated her question, Soren answered smoothly, “The engagement is just for show, to give my grandmother hope and help her recover. Who the bride is doesn’t really matter.”

“I’ll handle Poppy. I’ll arrange a marriage for her as an adopted daughter of the Fawkes family.”

“The news about her pregnancy hasn’t gotten out. The child belongs to the Fawkes family and will be raised under our names. We can consider it compensation for the child we lost.”

He had spent all night thinking, and he believed he had found the best possible solution for them both.

He had already tasted the pain and confusion of losing Evangeline, the feeling of utter emptiness. He now understood the tormented and agonizing situation she had endured for all those years.

From now on, he would manage their relationship properly.

He used to think Evangeline was being unreasonable, that they had reached the end of the line.

But now, with all the problems laid bare, he saw that every issue had room for resolution.
