My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1334

Suddenly, Elizabeth let out a snort, clapping a hand over her mouth to muffle a laugh.

Noticing the heavy atmosphere, Rose quickly grabbed Elizabeth's arm, shooting her a warning glare to knock it off. But Elizabeth couldn't stop. She pointed a trembling finger at Tristan, giggling.

"Tristan, who proposes on both knees? You're supposed to take one knee! You look like you're kneeling at an altar begging for forgiveness..."

She doubled over, snickering at his posture.

Tristan looked down at his knees in absolute mortification. His ears flushed crimson as he awkwardly scrambled to lift one leg, shifting into a proper, single-knee proposal.

He looked back up at Emily, his voice as timid as a student facing a strict principal. "I'm sorry. I just... I panicked."

Meeting his eyes, Emily suddenly changed her mind.

Marriage required caution and endless deliberation—that had always been her philosophy. But rules were meant to be broken for exceptional people. And Tristan was undeniably exceptional.

His eyes were just too vulnerable, too heartbroken. She simply didn't have the heart to reject him and watch him shatter.

Her usual calm rationale evaporated in the face of his devotion. With a soft sigh, she finally understood why some people threw logic out the window for love.

Even knowing she should think this through, she wanted to throw out the rulebook and say yes. It didn't matter. She was an adult. She was perfectly capable of handling the consequences of an impulsive decision.

As Tristan's eyes grew dim with impending defeat, Emily reached out her hand toward him. Her left hand, palm facing down.

Tristan's eyes widened drastically. He stared up at her in absolute disbelief.

Emily smiled, the curve of her lips incredibly tender. "You dummy," she whispered. "What are you staring at? Put the ring on me."
