From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Seeing her still being all polite with him, Austin just pursed his lips helplessly, but didn’t say anything more. There was still a long road ahead. One day, she’d finally let her guard down around him.

After leaving the cemetery, Emily felt like a huge weight had finally been lifted off her shoulders. She didn’t want to go back to the Bennett residence, that suffocating house. So, she just went with Austin straight back to their apartment.

But she hadn’t expected that as soon as they stepped into the neighborhood, she’d spot a familiar car parked there. The person inside clearly saw her, too, and hurried out of the car.

“Emily, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting here for like two or three hours.” Lucas came running over, grinning from ear to ear, not even a hint of annoyance on his face after waiting so long.

For a moment, Emily felt like she’d been pulled right back to those days before she turned eighteen, back when she and Lucas were as close as ever.

Back then, Lucas trusted her more than anyone and depended on her for everything. Whatever he wanted to do, he always

let her call the shots.

But as time went on, Lucas grew more and more impatient with her. Even if she was just a little slow putting on her shoes, he’d shoot her a look of annoyance and snap at her.

She’d seen the other side of Lucas before, so watching him act all cheerful, she couldn’t help but find it laughable.

As Lucas came running over, Emily took a step back, putting some distance between them. Her whole vibe was cold and distant. “Is there something you need, Mr. Bennett?”

Lucas’s smile froze, especially when he saw Austin standing in front of Emily. A surge of anger rose up in him, but he forced it back down.

After all, the Bennett family hadn’t given her any allowance in years. Of course, Emily would have some resentment about that. Since he’d already decided to make it up to her, he might as well let her throw a little tantrum.
