Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 324

"Guys, you'll never guess who I just saw."

"It's Evangeline and Finn Lockridge!"

A photo appeared on the screen.

Soren couldn't remember when he'd been added to this chat; he rarely paid it any attention. But now, seeing Evangeline's name, he tapped on it out of some morbid curiosity.

The picture was high-resolution. A cliché kissing photo. Yet, seeing it made his heart hammer against his ribs.

They were kissing as if no one else in the world existed. He could see the joyful, brilliant sparkle in her eyes, as if she held all the stars in the sky and all the love in her heart.

The expression was both familiar and alien. He had seen it in her eyes countless times at the beginning, but somewhere along the way, it had been replaced by pain, anger, and finally, despair.

His heart seemed to skip a beat, and his breathing grew ragged. An unfamiliar storm of anger and anguish began to churn within him. He let out a heavy breath, trying to regain his composure.

After a few minutes, he managed to calm himself and was about to leave the group when another message popped up.

"Weird, isn't it? I heard Mr. Lockridge is a player, never keeps a girlfriend for more than two weeks. But he and Evangeline have been together for a while now."

"You don't think they're serious, do you?"

Someone immediately shot back: "Are you kidding? How could they be?"

The person continued, "Evangeline is just Soren Fawkes's sloppy seconds. He just divorced her. A guy like Lockridge might fool around with a woman like that for fun, but he'd never actually want someone else's used goods."

"He's from the Howard family in Serenity City. We used to go street racing together."

"Soren, don't mind him. The guy's got a big mouth."

"He's tried to partner with Fawkes Enterprises a bunch of times, and his old man is always trying to get in on our projects. He probably said that just to suck up to you."

After all, everyone in Serenity City knew how much Soren despised Evangeline. In the past, whenever their circle mocked or teased her, Soren would just let it happen, as long as it didn't go too far.

Still, Evangeline was his ex-wife. Even if he didn't love her, Liam thought the comment was out of line. But the Howard kid was known for being arrogant, and everyone was used to it. He figured Soren would just give the guy a warning or cause some minor trouble for him and be done with it.

A few days later, however, Liam heard that the young Mr. Howard had gotten into a serious accident while racing and had been hospitalized. He had a broken leg but was otherwise stable. After the crash, the once-arrogant heir became remarkably low-key, disappearing from the public eye almost entirely.
