My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1155

Even after all these months, he still couldn’t get used to it. Accepting it felt impossible.

Andrew curled his fingers, then looked at her. “You’re really not worried I’ll call the police.”

Emily didn’t even blink. “Go ahead. Getting into a fight isn’t the end of the world. He fought back, you fought back, I’ll get him a lawyer. Worst case, he spends a few days in a cell. Not a big deal.”

The frustration inside Andrew only grew heavier.

He hid it well. “You trust him a lot.”

Emily lifted her chin, ready to argue, but Andrew spoke again. “But does he trust you?”

She paused, turning to face him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Tristan thinks there’s still something going on between us.”

Her heart gave a sharp, uneasy jolt.

Andrew spoke like he was stating some random fact, his voice flat and steady. There was no drama, no exaggeration, just the truth.

“That’s not true,” Emily said, trying to sound sure. “He knows that’s over…”

“Does he really?” Andrew cut her off.

Emily’s jaw tightened. “What are you trying to say, Andrew?”

“Why do you think he punched me? It’s not just about me. It’s about you too.”

A frown slowly creased Emily’s brow.
