Chapter 165

Author: Deerstream
Hearing Talia's cold refusal, Christian's eyes darkened with displeasure. After a long moment, he asked, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to do this?"

Was he implying that, as his wife, Talia should iron his clothes?

Talia let out a bitter laugh before refusing again. "I'm about to eat. Either iron it yourself or have Emma do it for you. I'm not going to iron it for you, Christian."

She didn't mention Nancy at all because she knew that Christian would never bear to ask her to do it. C

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 583

    In the car, Yvonne nestled against Talia's side. With Nancy absent, her mother was all she had.The day's events still frightened her, and she leaned against Talia in silence. Talia turned her head, watching Christian and Quentin through the window.Christian approached Quentin without any hint of aggression, simply holding his umbrella in the rain. His black coat blended into the gathering darkness.After a long silence, Christian raised the umbrella slightly higher. His dark eyes fixed on Quentin, but he didn't speak.Quentin shifted uncomfortably under the scrutiny. "What are you looking at?"Christian's question came out of nowhere. "How did you do it?"Quentin blinked in surprise, then barked out a laugh. "What's this? Looking for tips from your competition?"Christian couldn't stand that smug expression. His face went cold. "Forget it. Never mind."He turned to head back to the car. But then Quentin called out behind him. "Christian."Christian stopped in spite of himsel

    Christian stood, still holding Yvonne's hand, and repositioned the umbrella over Talia's head. His voice came out hoarse as he said, "It's over. She's safe."Talia looked at him. The resentment in her eyes hadn't diminished one bit despite finding Yvonne safe. She said nothing, choosing silence instead.Lionel arrived shortly after. Seeing that Yvonne had been found, he finally allowed himself to relax. After a moment's consideration, he walked over to Christian."Mr. Lane," Lionel greeted him respectfully.Yvonne stood beside Christian, holding his hand. Talia remained under the umbrella, her gaze unconsciously searching for Quentin.He stood beneath a tree, watching them. Across the rain-soaked street, their gazes locked.Quentin wore a smile tinged with pride. She knew exactly what he was thinking. He wanted credit for finding Yvonne.Beside her, Christian was saying something to Lionel, but Talia didn't catch a single word. She only vaguely sensed their conversation was comi

    The moment Talia learned Yvonne was missing, only one thought consumed her. She would give up everything to have her daughter back safe. Now, with Yvonne standing right in front of her, unharmed, the knot of anxiety in her chest finally loosened.Talia didn't care about the dirt. She pressed her face against Yvonne's, her voice trembling. "You're okay. You're safe now."Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. Yvonne's heart ached. She lifted her small hands to Talia's face and wiped away the tears.The gesture made Talia's chest tighten. In this moment, it felt like she had her daughter back.Yvonne kept wiping at the tears, her voice soft. "Don't cry, Mommy. You don't look pretty when you cry."Talia nodded through her sobs. "Okay. I won't cry anymore."Quentin stood nearby, watching the reunion unfold. His heart ached for Talia.The rain showed no signs of stopping. Even though it wasn't heavy, it still soaked them all. Talia, Yvonne, and Quentin looked equally bedraggled.

    Quentin didn't waste words. Over the phone, he said, "I found Yvonne. I'm sending you my location."He sent Talia his location immediately.Yvonne was filthy, reeking of sewage, but Quentin showed no trace of disgust. He held her and kept murmuring, "It's okay now. You're safe."Even now, Yvonne didn't realize that the person holding her was Quentin. She pressed her face against his shoulder and asked pleadingly, "Mister, I want to find someone. She's in the hospital. Can you take me to her?"Yvonne buried her entire face in Quentin's neck. She was so dirty and ashamed of how she looked. All her life, she'd been loved and cared for. She'd never been this humiliated before.Hearing her words, Quentin's heart clenched painfully. If he could barely stand hearing this as a stranger, how would Talia feel?Quentin let Yvonne hide her face against him. He didn't push her away or scold her. Instead, he asked carefully, "What about your mom? She's been going crazy trying to find you."Yv

    Quentin's words brought more comfort than Christian's ever could. Talia couldn't explain why, but something about Quentin's voice had this strange power to calm her racing heart.After a long silence, she murmured into the phone, "Okay."She wasn't sure if Quentin had even heard her, but she hung up without waiting for a response. Quentin had been waiting in Talia's bedroom for nearly an hour after showering, but she never came home.Now, hearing that Yvonne was missing, panic seized him. He worried about Talia, afraid she'd do something reckless in her desperation to find her daughter. The thought sent him climbing out the window without hesitation.As he drove, Quentin made calls, mobilizing people to search for Yvonne in different areas. The hospital parking lot was full, so Quentin pulled over on the street.Night had fallen, leaving the streets nearly empty. Inside the hospital, though, crowds packed the halls.As Quentin stepped out of his car, he heard a faint, desperate v

    After speaking, Christian feared Talia wouldn't feel reassured, so he swore, "I promise you, if I don't find Yvonne today, I'll end my own life right in front of you."His promise did nothing to comfort her. She gave a cold laugh. "That won't be necessary. We'll search separately."Talia stepped out of his arms. Christian reached for her again.But Talia resisted fiercely, shouting at him, "Christian, don't come any closer. Please. Just don't."At her plea, Christian's eyes narrowed. He let his outstretched hand fall."Alright," he said quietly. "I won't."Talia's clothes were soaked through, but she didn't feel the cold at all. Her mind held only worry for Yvonne.Once he stopped approaching, she turned and walked away. Christian started after her, but his phone rang. It was Lionel calling.Christian had sent people to search for Yvonne the moment he left Nancy's room. Thinking they'd found her, he answered quickly.But Lionel's dejected voice came through the line.
