My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1116

Tristan Davis spoke with total seriousness. His eyes narrowed, anger simmering beneath the surface while he tried to keep it together. He gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles went white, the veins on his hand standing out.

He looked exactly like a lion whose territory had just been threatened, tense and ready to snap.

Emily Blair had no doubt that if she let Tristan go, he and Andrew Lane would end up in a fight. That would be a mess no one could clean up.

The more Tristan thought about it, the more sure he became. Especially since Andrew had messaged Emily that morning, and she still hadn’t replied.

Andrew’s message was simple: I’m heading back soon. Want to meet up?

Tristan handed the phone to Emily. “Set up a time to meet him. I’ll go with you.”

Emily let out a sigh, took the phone, locked it, and tossed it aside.

Tristan looked at her, caught off guard. “You…”

She stopped him from reaching for the phone, patting his hand gently. “Come on, why are you so upset? Don’t take him so seriously. I’m not meeting him, I promise. You have nothing to worry about.”

Tristan hung his head, his brow still furrowed. He just couldn’t let it go.

Emily patted the back of his hand again. “Hey. Say something.”

Suddenly, Tristan pulled her into his arms, holding her close. His voice was low and muffled.

“I don’t think he’s going to give up that easily. I looked into it. He doesn’t have any real business here, nothing important enough to keep him around. Actually, there are things going on at The Lane Group’s headquarters that should need him back, but he’s still here. What’s he really after?”

Emily raised an eyebrow. “Really? I had no idea.”

She honestly didn’t know much about what was happening at The Lane Group, but Andrew sticking around did seem weird. Plus, he’d been dropping hints and saying things that were way too flirty.

Tristan hugged her tighter, his voice dropping even lower. “Feels like trouble is coming from all sides…”
