Chapter 639

Author: Deerstream
Millie's tone had an edge to it. Talia quickly explained, "No, Mrs. Henderson, that's not what I meant."

Knowing that Talia was just being polite, Millie thought for a moment and came up with a good reason. "You saved my life on that bridge. Let me thank you with dinner."

Talia ultimately gave in reluctantly. "Alright then."

Millie took her cold hand and said, "Let's get in the car."

Talia walked around to the passenger side and got in. Millie drove slowly, barely reaching 30 miles per hour.

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 728

    Talia couldn't help but let out a sneer as Christian spoke about the past. "I really wanted to marry you back then, and now, I really want a divorce. Christian, I've always been true to my words. No matter how things were before, right now, all I want is to leave you and the Lane family."Christian stared intently at her, trying to read something from her expression.With a bitter edge, he asked, "You're really okay with leaving Yvonne and me?""Why wouldn't I be?" Talia shot back, scoffing.Christian fell silent for a long time, still gazing at her. Finally, he sighed and said, "Fine. Let's finalize the divorce."Talia felt relieved and asked, "How soon can we go to the courthouse?"Christian replied, "Tomorrow. I have some things to handle at the company today."Talia didn't push him further. Fearing that pushing too hard would backfire, she simply said, "Alright."With the topic of divorce finally settled, Christian picked up the food container again. He shook it gently and

    Talia looked up and smiled brightly at Christian. "I said, feed me."Her coy, playful tone left Christian momentarily stunned.He had seen Talia act this way before, but it had been so long since she'd spoken to him like this.After getting used to her distant, cold demeanor, he found her coy tone almost surreal.Seeing him lost in thought, Talia called out, "Christian?"He snapped out of his daze and fixed his gaze on her face. "Yes?"Still smiling, she asked, "You don't want to feed me?"Christian hesitated for a moment, then reached for the food container on the bedside table. He shook his head and replied, "No, I want to."He opened the container and carefully stirred the beef stew. Seeing the steam, he gently blew on the stew to cool it down.Talia was taken aback by his actions.She was only playing nice to Christian to make Quentin give up and walk away. But Christian's reaction was far more than she expected.Once the stew cooled down, Christian carefully brought the

    Monica's face was flushed from climbing the stairs too quickly, and her breath came in ragged gasps. She looked up at Quentin with wide, innocent eyes and replied, "I didn't say anything to her."But Quentin didn't believe her. He took a step forward, his powerful presence suppressing and intimidating her.With every step he took, Monica instinctively took a step back, until she found herself backed against the edge of the rooftop with nowhere to retreat.She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression filled with helplessness and grievance.But Quentin didn't see any of that. His gaze was cold and unyielding as he stared at her. "Monica, I'm warning you, no matter what you did for me back then, the person I love is Talia. If you dare say anything to hurt her, I will end you."As he spoke the last words, his eyes narrowed instinctively, and the coldness in his gaze was more chilling than the deepest winter frost.Monica shivered involuntarily at the look in his

    Quentin sat by the bedside, his deep gaze fixed on Talia's profile.When he heard her words, the light in his eyes darkened immediately.But within seconds, he regained control, hiding the chill that had spread across him.Forcing a smile, he picked up a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the table and began blowing on it to cool it down before bringing the spoon to Talia's lips. "Come on, eat a little. You can't go hungry. You've lost so much weight."Talia turned toward him, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She stared at Quentin with a deep, resentful look.She bit her lip, not saying a single word.Seeing her this way, Quentin patiently coaxed her. "Come on, eat just a little. I'll leave right away when Christian comes."Seeing him act so humble for her made Talia's heart ache.In all of Jarrowind, he wasn't even afraid of Christian. Yet here he was, lowering himself to the ground in front of her.Despite the harsh words she had said, it felt as though Quentin hadn't he

    Quentin had originally planned to just walk past Monica, but when she saw him, she quickly took off her mask and greeted him, smiling. "Mr. Henderson."He stopped in his tracks, offering a brief smile in return before replying, "What brings you here, Ms. Walker?"Although his greeting was polite, his tone was distant, as if they were merely acquaintances.Monica sensed his coolness but didn't react negatively. Instead, she calmly explained, "The hospital assigned me here for a year of training. A patient in the obstetrics department has a complicated condition. I came to ask a colleague from orthopedics to assist with a consultation."Quentin nodded slightly. "I see. Well, then, you should get to work."His words made it clear that he didn't want to linger around Monica.Still, she wasn't about to give up that easily. She glanced into the ward. Seeing Talia leaning against the headboard, she curiously asked, "Mr. Henderson, what happened to Talia?"Quentin thought for a moment,

    After she finished relieving herself, Talia couldn't stand back up, so she gently tugged at Quentin's hand.He quickly responded, lifting her up.After helping her to her feet, he flushed the toilet, then reached for the IV bag with one hand and attempted to lift her with the other.However, remembering Quentin's injuries, Talia declined, saying, "I'm fine. I can jump in myself.But Quentin didn't listen. Without saying a single word, he scooped her up with one arm.When they reached the bed, he hung the IV bag back up, then gently helped her lie down.After tucking the covers around her, he sat in the chair beside the bed.All the running around had caused sweat to bead on his forehead, but once seated, he didn't look at Talia or say a single word.Talia turned to look at him, a puzzled expression on her face. "W-Why did you come?"Quentin raised his head to meet her gaze but still remained silent.Confused, Talia pressed further, "Quentin, why aren't you talking to me?"Bu

    After hesitating for a while, Talia finally drove to Jubilee Manor. She knew that it was pointless, but Yvonne was her daughter, and she couldn't just turn her back.When she arrived, Emma was tidying up in the living room. She looked surprised when she saw Talia enter. "Mrs. Lane?"Given how Chri

    When Christian spoke, Julian and Nancy were both standing behind him. Hearing him refer to Talia as his wife, Julian instinctively glanced at Nancy beside him. She also looked back at him.The two exchanged glances but remained silent. Christian's sudden mention of Talia left Julian genuinely confu

    When Talia returned to the hospital with the soup, Yvonne was scrolling through videos on Emma's phone. Whatever she was watching made her smile.Emma saw Talia walk in and said gently, "Ms. Yvonne, Mrs. Lane is back."Yvonne quickly turned off the screen and sat up in bed. "Mommy."Talia's pajam
