Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 309

Evangeline looked at him, a mixture of surprise and gratitude on her face.

"Go on, go see her," Finn said. "I know you would have just snuck over here later anyway, even if we went home."

"I don't mind you still having contact with the Fawkes family." He had done his research; he knew that Mrs. Fawkes had treated Evangeline well over the years. A five-year bond couldn't be severed so cleanly.

Evangeline was stunned that he had read her intentions so perfectly, and a wave of gratitude washed over her. He was right. That had been her plan exactly. If he had objected, she would have found another time to come in secret.

Reading her expression, Finn added, "But I have one condition: no getting back together with Soren." He didn't care what games Soren played to drive them apart. As long as he knew Evangeline's heart was with him, he had nothing to fear.

Evangeline nodded solemnly. "I won't. It's completely over between us." From Soren's attitude the other day, she was sure he felt the same.

Finn started to say something but then thought better of it.

Evangeline, buoyed by the news of Mrs. Fawkes's recovery, didn't notice his hesitation. She quickly called the caregiver again to confirm that no one from the Fawkes family had arrived yet, then hurried upstairs.
