My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 454

Not long ago, Andrew Lane and Isabella Austin’s engagement had blown up online, the gossip swirling everywhere. That was when Emily Blair got dragged into the spotlight by Isabella’s fans, put on trial like some homewrecker.

Tristan Davis knew better than to trust everything he read on the Internet. Rumors came and went, truth and fiction tangled up together. Still, he couldn’t help wondering: Was Emily really the villain everyone claimed? If not, then she was being wronged, shouldering blame she never deserved.

There were so many things he wanted to ask her—but whenever he tried, the words wouldn’t come.

Emily, meanwhile, was lost in thought, staring into space. Not far off, a couple suddenly started making out right in public.

She rolled her eyes and turned away, only to meet Tristan’s hesitant, searching gaze.

She immediately fired off a sarcastic remark. “What? You thinking of joining in on the lip action too?”

Tristan blinked. “What?”

He caught her gaze and felt a flicker of nerves—his face froze for a moment. But then her bizarre comment threw him off. “What are you talking about?”

Emily shifted to the side, revealing the couple still going at it behind her.

It took a second for Tristan to realize, then he let out a sharp laugh. “Honestly, what goes on in that head of yours?”

Emily just huffed, unconcerned.

Tristan looked away, uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, shut it, opened it again. He had so many questions, but couldn’t seem to get a single one out.

The air between them grew tense, almost awkward.

Finally, Tristan mustered up his courage and tried to sound casual, like it was just a random thought. “Oh, right. I never asked you about that thing before—”

“What are you two talking about?”
