Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 311

After a long moment, he let out a deep sigh.

…

Mrs. Fawkes was awake but still too weak to speak. Evangeline stayed only long enough to exchange a few quiet words, reassuring her to rest and focus on getting better before she left. The rest of the Fawkes family would be arriving soon, and she had no desire to run into any of them. She was sure the feeling was mutual.

She had planned to make a clean exit, but she ran into the one person she wanted to see least.

Poppy.

They came face to face just as Evangeline was leaving the hospital building and Poppy was about to enter. Poppy seemed just as surprised to see her, her steps faltering for a moment. Evangeline intended to pretend she hadn't seen her and walk away, but Poppy had other plans.

She stopped and called out with a saccharine smile, "Evangeline. You're already divorced from Soren and have cut all ties. Why are you still coming here to humiliate yourself?"

With Soren out of earshot, Poppy dropped the pretense of friendly nostalgia. "A good ex-wife," she sneered, "should be like a ghost—never seen or heard from again. Not that it matters if you show up. He's not going to take you back."

"You probably don't know this, but Soren has already taken me to meet the Fawkes family. We're planning our engagement."

"Here's our invitation." Poppy pressed an elegantly designed card into Evangeline's hand, watching her expression closely. She had expected to see sadness or despair, but Evangeline's face remained placid. She merely glanced at the names on the invitation, her eyelids barely lifting.

Her indifference puzzled Poppy.

"Congratulations, then," Evangeline said calmly. "I hope you get everything you've ever wanted."
