Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 302

But she knew perfectly well that the Fawkes family would never let her get her hands on those shares. Even with the will in her favor, she stood no chance if they decided to fight her on it. It was a battle she was bound to lose.

Before he could finish, a phone rang.

"One moment," Evangeline said, pulling out her phone. The screen showed Finn's name. After a brief hesitation, she declined the call and sent him a quick voice note.

"I'm busy right now. I'll get back to you in a bit."

Then she slipped the phone back into her pocket.

Soren's gaze fell to the diamond ring she still wore on her finger, and a familiar irritation churned in his chest.

Evangeline sensed his darkening mood, but she knew Soren's temper could turn on a dime. The smallest thing could set him off. In the past, she would have done anything to soothe him, saying whatever he wanted to hear to distract him and placate his anger.
