My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 467

Emily Blair set her spoon down with a sigh. “Mom, what are you talking about? There’s never been anything like that between us. You’ve been misunderstanding this for years! And what makes you think Tristan Davis likes me? That’s just impossible.”

She thought about all these years with Tristan—there had never been even a hint of romance, not the slightest sign of anything more than friendship. In fact, he was always disappearing for no reason, never bothering to explain where he was going, what he was doing, or when he’d be back.

Would a man who liked a woman vanish without explanation, time and again?

Not a chance.

Given all that, it was clear that she and Tristan were just friends—plain and simple. She had never once sensed even the smallest trace of affection from him.

Not even a little.

Yet, somehow, the people around her were always trying to push her and Tristan together. The list included Emma George, Elizabeth Wilson, and even the usually reserved Xavier Gonzalez.

Sometimes, Emily really couldn’t understand what went on in their heads.

Emma George frowned. “What do you mean I’ve been misunderstanding? You’re just being stubborn. I’m telling you, Emily, I could tell Tristan was a good man the moment I met him. All these years, whenever he’s had a free moment, he’s come over to ask me how to cook your favorite dishes. A man like that is worth fighting for, you know? If you’re not careful, some other woman’s going to snatch him up, and then you’ll have nowhere to cry.”

Emily kept chewing, her face expressionless as Emma rattled on. In her mind, she replayed the scene from the parking lot—Tristan hurrying off after that girl.

The concern in Tristan’s eyes had been real, his steps urgent. He was clearly worried about the girl’s safety.

Emily had no idea who the girl was.
