Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 407

Soren had devised a plan to pay her the five billion in installments.

“Her ex-husband is still very keen on getting back together with her, but the amount she’s asking for is just too much.”

“Right now, the most cash I can offer is two hundred million. My real estate and stocks are worth about two billion combined. At my current rate of earning, I should be able to pay off the other half in about ten years…”

Soren meticulously laid out his assets, hoping Leo could offer some good advice.

In the middle of his explanation, he didn't even notice the slip of the tongue.

When Leo heard the word “I,” he raised an eyebrow but didn’t call him on it.

“I’d advise your ‘friend’ to just give up,” Leo said. “Don’t waste time on this.”

“She’s a smart woman. I’m sure she wouldn’t make such a difficult demand without a reason.”

“Before she proposed this condition, she must have given him another one—one that your friend couldn’t, or wouldn’t, fulfill. So she hit him with an impossible request to make him back off.”

Leo took a sip of water. “Why don’t you think back a little?”

Soren had a good memory. Leo’s prompt was all it took.

He had asked Evangeline to remarry him before, and her condition had been for him to send Poppy to the police.

Soren remained silent.

Leo clapped him on the shoulder, affecting a wise tone. “Love isn’t like business. It’s not as complicated as you think.”

But she couldn't help asking.

She couldn’t bear to be separated from her.

After her mother's death, her world had shattered. The city was bustling, but it felt like she was the only one in it. She had no one to share her true feelings with, no one to give her advice when she was in trouble, no one to protect her when she was bullied.

Only when Theresa was by her side did she feel like she wasn't completely alone.

Moreover, during all the years they were apart, she had constantly worried that something would happen to Theresa.

Finn saw Evangeline’s distress and added a few words of his own, but as expected, Theresa’s resolve was firm. She was staying.

Evangeline’s eyes welled with tears. Finally, she said, “Then I’m not leaving either. I’ll stay here with you.”
