All Chapters of There's No Turning Back: Chapter 561 - Chapter 568

Theodore gently closed the bedroom door but didn't leave immediately. He leaned back against the cool door panel, standing quietly in the darkness for a few seconds before raising his hand to loosen his collar in irritation.The air seemed to still carry Elara's faint scent, mixed with the moist steam from the warm towel, silently lingering around his nose. He turned and walked toward the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.Outside was the dazzling city night view, countless lights scattered like fallen stars, yet they couldn't illuminate his somewhat chaotic thoughts at this moment. He pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket, drew one out, and put it between his lips, but paused when he reached for his lighter.He glanced back at the tightly closed bedroom door and ultimately stuffed the unlit cigarette back into the pack, tossing it casually on the coffee table. He couldn't leave a smell of smoke here. Merida wouldn't like it, and Elara would be annoyed with him.Theodore

Elara called Leonard, and a cool, low male voice came through the phone. "Elara, what's up?"He sounded like he'd been expecting her call."Mr. Fisher, do you have any free time coming up?"Elara briefly explained about the kindergarten family activity, then said, "I know your time is valuable, and this kind of event might not be on your usual schedule. But Merida and I would really love it if you and Xavier could come."The line went quiet for a few seconds. Elara instinctively held her breath, almost able to imagine Leonard frowning slightly as he reviewed his calendar.Just when she expected him to politely decline, Leonard spoke. "Alright, I'll bring Xavier."Elara felt surprised he actually agreed, yet it also made sense. To help Xavier return to a normal life, Leonard had already made quite a few compromises."That's wonderful." Joy colored her voice.Through the phone, Leonard heard Elara speaking to Merida. "Your Granduncle Leonard said yes! We'll be making pastries toge

Harvey wore an impeccably tailored designer suit, his tall frame radiating a cold severity that clashed sharply with the warm, festive atmosphere filling the room.Beau wore a matching little suit, his features delicate but carrying an air of arrogance from being spoiled. As soon as he entered, his eyes, strikingly similar to Harvey's, darted around before finally settling on Elara and Xavier beside her.Beau bit his lip, his bright eyes taking on a pitiful expression."Daddy, I want to go over to Mommy." Beau's voice was full of longing."Would your mom even want you?" Harvey's voice was ice cold, completely crushing Beau's hopes.Beau had recovered well. After all, he was a growing child, and with proper nutrition, even the hair that had been shaved for stitches had grown back. Only the spot where he'd been stitched remained bald, creating a lightning bolt-shaped mark on the side of his head that actually looked rather cool.Harvey led Beau to an empty table and sat down. His g

The oppressive atmosphere radiating from Harvey could nearly freeze the air around him. He stared fixedly at the dough in his hands, now mangled beyond recognition from his rough handling, as if it had become a reflection of his failed life."Daddy!" Beau was on the verge of tears, his whole little face scrunched up."Why can't you even do this simple thing right!" Beau thought back to before. In the past, Elara had helped him win first place at every school family activity.In his memory, Harvey was all-knowing and all-powerful. His father was the most capable person in the world, and he thought that having Harvey meant having everything. But his father had reduced him to such an embarrassing situation.Just then, the teacher's voice rang out. "Alright, children, everyone line up. With your parents' help, put your pastries on the baking trays."The children who had finished making their pastries lined up with their parents. They put name labels on their creations so they could id
