INICIAR SESIÓNQuentin's phone calls went unanswered, but he didn't give up. He kept dialing. It wasn't until his car pulled up in front of the Stewart residence that he finally gave up trying.He got out of the car and walked quickly toward the entrance, but as he reached the door, Garrett stepped out and blocked his path."Go back. Talia said she doesn't want to see you," he said firmly.Quentin, desperate, replied, "Garrett, just let me see her. I just need to make sure she's okay. I'll leave right after."He moved to step past Garrett, but the latter pushed him back with a sharp motion. "I'm not going to repeat myself."Noticing how firm Garrett was, Quentin understood that he wasn't going to see Talia that night. He craned his neck to glance into the yard, but all he saw were some trees and flowers. It was nothing of significance.Garrett moved to shut the door, but then Paige came running out."Garrett, go inside and stay with Talia. I'll talk to Mr. Henderson for a moment," she said.G
The next day, Seamus reached out early, asking Quentin to drop Evan off at school. Seamus was tied up with court and couldn't make it himself.Naturally, Quentin agreed, not only because he was Evan's godfather but also because he would need Seamus' help with Talia's divorce later.After dropping Evan off, Quentin was about to leave when he turned around and saw Christian dropping off Yvonne.Quentin paused in the crowd, watching.As Christian straightened after lifting Yvonne out of the car, he noticed Quentin as well.Their eyes locked across the flow of people. The unspoken tension in the air was thick.Most of the kids walked into school with their friends, but Yvonne, carrying her backpack, made her way toward the gate alone.Once Yvonne was inside, Christian ignored Quentin's gaze and turned to head back to his car.Just then, Quentin called out to him. "Mr. Lane."Christian froze, then turned to see Quentin walking toward him.Seeing him, Christian couldn't shake the i
Julian stared wide-eyed, momentarily stunned by the kiss.But Nancy's arms were around him, and her tongue pushed insistently into his mouth.Julian felt the heat of Nancy's passion. Since he had always harbored feelings for her, her sudden boldness was the final straw. He could no longer hold himself back.The next moment, he pulled her into his arms and pressed her against the doorframe. He kissed her deeply, taking control of the situation.His hands slid under her clothes, tracing her soft skin.The moment Nancy felt the slight chill of Julian's hands, an involuntary shiver raced down her spine.As the kiss deepened, Julian made no attempt to hide the raw desire that had taken hold of him.But when Nancy realized what was about to happen, she suddenly regretted it. She pushed him away. "Julian, stop."But by now, Julian was consumed by a raging fire of lust. His entire body was burning up, and Nancy's words didn't even register.At this moment, his only coherent thought wa
When Christian heard Nancy's question, he instinctively tightened his grip on the wine glass. Without turning around, he replied, "No."Since he denied it, Nancy didn't press any further. To stay close to Christian, she had to learn to let things slide.With that thought, she gave him a soft smile and said, "If you're feeling down, I'll just sit here quietly with you for a while."She then pulled over a chair and sat next to him. Both of them stared out of the window. Their reflections were visible on the glass.Nancy studied Christian's features, but his eyes were distant, clouded with thoughts she couldn't reach.The window was open, and the cold breeze flowed in, making the curtains flutter slightly. The shadows of the trees outside danced across the windowsill.Nancy sat there without saying a single word, but her mind was restless.After setting down his wine glass, Christian suddenly whipped his head around. His eyes were impossibly dark as he narrowed them at Nancy. In th
Christian was still suffocating under a cloud of resentment.The woman who had once claimed to love him above all else, who had been willing to sacrifice everything for him, had moved on to someone else.How was he supposed to accept that?Upon hearing his dismissive tone, Yvonne pouted in protest. "Why can't she be? Nancy is my mommy. As soon as you marry her, she'll be my mommy for real."Christian didn't want to hear another word of it. He snapped, "That's enough. Don't bring this up again."Sensing his brewing temper, Yvonne reached out and hooked her hand around his finger. "Daddy, what's wrong?"Realizing his attitude had been a bit harsh, Christian scooped Yvonne up into his arms and said softly, "Come on. I'm taking you out for burgers."Yvonne didn't refuse, but the spark of excitement wasn't there.At the mall, Christian ordered the food and sat with her, but neither of them cracked a smile.Yvonne didn't finish her burger, and Christian didn't push her. He simply pi
Nancy stood before Julian, but with every word out of her mouth centered on Christian, his mood soured even further.He looked up at her, his gaze sharp and searching, as he demanded, "Is Christian really that incredible in your eyes? Is it simply impossible for anyone else to measure up to him?"Nancy could tell that he was upset. She simply said, "All I know is that he's going to be my husband."Julian bristled at that. "Nancy, how long are you going to keep playing the fool? He's been talking about marrying you for a long time, but has he done it? Until there's a ring on your finger, stop being so delusional."His words cut deep. Nancy stared at him, caught between anger and helplessness. "Julian, you…"Julian knew he had been harsh, but he wasn't about to apologize. He averted his gaze, refusing to look at her.After a heavy silence, he muttered, "Just leave. I don't want to see you."Nancy opened her mouth to say something, but seeing how much he was pushing her away, she j
Garrett's entire body froze as the truth sank in.After regaining his composure, he tried to bypass Willow and head toward her ward."I'm going to see her," he said.But Willow blocked his way. Her voice was almost pleading as she said, "Garrett, Talia hasn't slept for two days straight. She fina
Quentin's words left Talia frozen in shock. She looked down at him and saw nothing but genuine sincerity in his eyes. For a brief moment, she wavered again.She thought perhaps she really could leave with him and live the life she wanted. But the absurd notion lasted only a few seconds.Whatever k
Christian glanced at Nancy's smiling face and returned a faint smile. "Julian and William are at the VIP booth. You can find them there. I need to go."Seeing him about to leave, Nancy couldn't help but say, "But Chris, Yvonne said she wants to see you."Since the fall field trip, Christian had ra
Over the phone, the police officer chuckled and replied, his tone faintly mocking, "Well, you're in the hospital—so you're obviously sick."Upon hearing that, Talia found that she couldn't even cry anymore. She let out a chuckle, one filled with bitterness and exhaustion.She didn't want to hear a
