Chapter 645

Author: Deerstream
Talia stood in the doorway, the light from the room spilling over her. Behind her, her shadow stretched long across the floor.

The moment Quentin's words left his mouth, she went completely still.

She had almost let herself forget what had happened that night at the hospital. It wasn't because she didn't want to remember, but because she saw no point in holding onto it. Keeping that kind of pain close only meant staying in it. She would rather let it go.

What she hadn't expected was that the

    Nancy stood in the office with her dress slipped down to her waist, wearing only her bra. Even exposed like this, Christian wouldn't look at her.Seeing him so unmoved, Nancy nearly broke down. "Chris, and you still say you trust me?"Tears streamed down her face. She could barely stand but refused to pull her clothes back up.After several seconds of this standoff, Christian finally stood. He walked over, pulled her dress back up, and gently embraced her. "Nancy, let's wait until we're married."Nancy broke down crying. She clung to him. "You keep telling me to wait. How much longer?"Christian gently pushed her back and looked down at her, keeping his tone soft. "Nancy, tell me what you want. If money can buy it, it's yours."Nancy shook her head, tears still falling. "I don't want anything. I just want to be yours. Really yours."Christian cupped her face and wiped away her tears with his thumbs. "You already are."Nancy shook her head desperately. "No. I mean really yours.

    Before Christian knew it, it was noon. The people working outside had already gone to the cafeteria for lunch. Only he remained sitting at his desk, his mind filled with memories of the past.In his nostalgia, he even pulled up his chat history with Talia. The further back he scrolled, the more evidence he found of how deeply she'd once loved him."Chris, it's raining outside. Remember to bring an umbrella."It's Memorial Day weekend. I made a bunch of your favorite dishes. Come home early, okay?"Christian, can you pick me up after my shift?"Chris, the hospital was so busy today. I'm exhausted. I wish you were here."Chris, I miss you. I want you to hold me."Do you think I'm annoying?"…There were so many messages, and Christian had never replied to any of them. He'd even forgotten Talia had sent him messages like these.But looking at them now, they were the most direct and obvious proof.While his mind wandered, a knock sounded at the door. Christian pulled himself fro

    Christian sat in his office chair. He looked up at Julian with disdain. "You came here just to say that?"Julian answered firmly. "Yes."Christian let out a derisive laugh. "And you think I'll believe you?"But Julian stood his ground, unfazed. "Whether you believe me or not, it's the truth."Christian looked away. He stopped looking at Julian and said quietly, "Julian, you can leave now. If you have time to run over here and talk nonsense, you should be dealing with your own problems."Seeing Christian act so indifferent, Julian growled in frustration, "Christian, I'm telling you I kissed Nancy. I didn't just kiss her. I touched her too. Are you really going to sit there unmoved?"Christian didn't want to hear another word. He raised his hand and pointed toward the office door. "Get out."Julian's exhausted face twisted as he shouted at Christian, "Christian, you're heartless. You say you love her, but you don't love her at all. You don't love anyone. You didn't love Talia, and

    Christian gently held Nancy. His large hand stroked her hair as he asked, "What happened?"Hearing this, Nancy looked up at him, her tone almost pleading. "Chris, those photos online are AI-generated. Please don't believe them. Julian and I would never betray you."Christian gently pushed Nancy back. He looked at her, smiling. "Mm?"Nancy asked uncertainly, "You believe me?"Christian asked back, "Why wouldn't I?"Yvonne had been standing in the doorway the whole time. Hearing their conversation and seeing they weren't fighting, the anger in her heart dissipated completely.She ran over and hugged both Christian's and Nancy's legs. She looked up at them. "Daddy, Nancy, you have to stay together, okay? I only have you two now."Tears rolled down Yvonne's cheeks. Christian and Nancy crouched and pulled her into a hug.Nancy said gently, "Don't worry, Yvonne. I'll always treat you like my own daughter."Christian ruffled Yvonne's hair and laughed softly. "I'll always be here, and

    When Yvonne woke up that morning, her eyes were crusted shut with sleep. After rubbing them vigorously, she felt much better.It was Saturday, so she didn't have school. The first thing Yvonne did was grab her digital tablet.When she opened her video app, she saw that the top trending headline was about Christian, Nancy, and Julian's relationship. Seeing that the video was about people she knew, Yvonne stopped scrolling and watched it.The blogger went through each person's background."Christian Lane, CEO of Lane Group. Billionaire. Cold, handsome, married but separated. He is publicly dating Nancy York."Nancy York. Medical resident working on her PhD. Plays piano, sings, and acts. She was a former modeling champion.

    Quentin turned to Talia, his smile bright. "I want you to feed me."Maeve sat at the edge of the bed, her legs dangling over the edge. Hearing Quentin's words, she made a teasing face. "Quentin, you're already a grown man, but still acting like a baby. Shame on you."Quentin laughed. "I'm not acting like a baby. But if your aunt feeds me, my injury will heal much, much faster."Maeve rolled her eyes at Quentin and stuck her tongue out at him. "You're just lazy."Quentin laughed, looking at Maeve warmly. Talia knew he was deliberately making things difficult for her.But after thinking it over, Talia did as he asked. She sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a spoon to feed Quentin the soup. Worried he might burn himself, she blew on it to cool it down before bringing it to his lips.When it entered his mouth, Quentin couldn't help but praise it. "This is delicious."Talia said softly, "My mom made it. She saved it especially for you."Hearing this, Quentin's smile deepened.

    Nancy sat on the floor, clutching her injured leg. Soft, pained sounds escaped her throat.She looked up at Christian, her expression a mix of hurt, flirtation, and guilt. "I know you're upset with me. That's why I wanted to see you."Christian sat upright on the bed and lit a cigarette. He stared

    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 o
