Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 448

As she spoke, Poppy naturally linked her arm with Soren’s.

But this time, Soren subtly pushed her away.

Evangeline paid them no mind and tactfully prepared to leave.

“Evangeline,” Poppy suddenly called out to her.

Evangeline looked over, wondering what scheme she was plotting now.

She glanced around and smiled. “What is it? Here to apologize?”

“Sorry, but the deal was a public apology. Right now, there are only three of us here. If you apologize now, I’ll just assume you’re not being sincere.”

Hearing this, Poppy’s face turned a pale shade of green and white. Evangeline’s words were like grinding her face into the dirt.

Poppy was visibly provoked.

Barely maintaining her composure, she forced a smile and gently placed a hand on her stomach.

“I’ll arrange for an apology that satisfies you later.”

“What I wanted to say is, I’m pregnant with Soren’s baby. Could I ask you, for the sake of this innocent child, to go easy on Soren? Can we discuss whatever issues you have after he’s discharged from the hospital?”

As Poppy finished, Soren glanced at her stomach. His lips moved, but no sound came out.

Evangeline had to laugh. “First of all, he’s the one who came looking for me. Instead of pleading with me, you, as his fiancée, should probably do a better job of managing him.”

“Besides, who doesn't have a child? Finn and I have our own child waiting for me to come home and feed him.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Evangeline realized her mistake.

She was talking about Sheriff, the little kitten Finn was raising.

Sheriff was three months old but still small and skinny due to poor nutrition early on.

Evangeline, thinking he was in a crucial growth period, had been supplementing his cat food with goat’s milk formula every day. Sheriff seemed to dislike the taste and would never drink it on his own. She always had to hold the bowl right in front of him before he would deign to drink half of it.

Finn would often ask her with a hint of jealousy if she was treating Sheriff like their child, spoiling him so much. She had retorted, half-jokingly and half-seriously, that the kitten was indeed their child. Now, in the heat of the moment, the words had just slipped out.

By the time she realized what she’d said, she saw Soren’s expression darken and knew she had misspoken. But she didn’t feel the need to explain herself to them.

Soren’s face was grim. “What child? Evangeline, you’d better explain yourself.”
