Chapter 881

Author: Deerstream
Holding her phone, Talia remained distracted. After attending the dinner party, she reeked of alcohol and wanted to wash up.

It was getting late, so she could rest after cleaning up. Because of her injured leg, she only wiped herself down briefly in the bathroom.

When she came out, she sat at her vanity doing her skincare routine, but her mind was elsewhere the entire time. What normally took ten minutes stretched to over 20. She thought about Quentin the whole time.

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 895

    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. Comes from nothing, but she's beautiful and poised. Every guy's dream girl."Julian Gardner, CEO of Gardner Group. Another billionaire. Smooth, charismatic, good-looking."Christian and Julian used to be best friends until Nancy came between them. She's engaged t

    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.

    Ten days after leaving for town, Talia came across Henry that evening.In the town, the air was fresh and clean. It was the tail of summer; the days were still scorching, but as evening came, the heat subsided. It was the perfect time for a stroll along the town's river, where the gurgling water, d

    Seeing Quentin walk toward the stage, panic rose in Talia's chest. Throwing caution aside, she called out to him, "Quentin, what are you doing? Come back down."On the other side, both Christian and Nancy heard Talia's anxious shout. Quentin heard it too, but he didn't turn around. After walking st

    It wasn't until Henry and Talia turned the corner that they stopped hearing Quentin's voice."Do you not believe me, Talia?" Henry stopped in his tracks, looking at Talia. He had told her countless times that Julian and the others would be begging him to return to the hospital, but she seemed to th

    Upon smelling the acrid smoke of cigarettes filling the study, Talia opened the window to air out the room before turning to Garrett, asking, "What are you doing up so late, Garrett?"It was only when he heard that voice that Garrett realized that the person who walked into the study was Talia.
