All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Talia hid the pregnancy test results and stepped into the living room, where Margaret and Christian's conversation fell silent. Unlike what she usually did, Talia didn't even greet anyone.In the past, she had always naively thought that if she served her in-laws well and became an understanding, considerate wife, there would come a day when Christian would finally notice her. But reality had slapped her hard in the face.Even if she carved out her heart and presented it to the Lane family, they might not even spare it a glance. She realized that it was time to take back these five years of one-sided devotion.Christian knew why he'd come home that day, so he glanced at Jane and instructed, "Jane, escort Ms. Margaret out."From beginning to end, Talia stood silently to the side, but her eyes seemed to have gained a new layer of coldness.Christian managed the Lane family business and ran the company exceptionally well. His character was excellent, too. He was respectful to his eld

The car door opened, and Christian held his hand above Nancy's head while extending his other hand toward her. The moment their fingers intertwined, Talia turned around.Faced with this heartbreaking scene, she remained unexpectedly calm. Perhaps because she had figured things out, but she appeared very composed right then.In the past, she would have cried her heart out. But at that moment, she just wanted to ask Christian what he meant by Nancy being a more suitable mother than she was."Christian, what do you mean by that?" Talia's lips trembled slightly, and her voice changed pitch.Nancy got out of the car, her hand resting on Christian's arm the entire time. Under the moonlight, their two shadows stretched long across the pavement.Christian acted as if he hadn't heard Talia speak and walked toward Jubilee Manor with Nancy. Talia could no longer remember how many times she had been ignored like this.Talia's heart was already riddled with holes, but when it came to her daug

When the door was gently pushed open, Christian instinctively reached out to turn off the lights. The room was instantly shrouded in darkness.As Christian untied his robe, he said, "It's getting a bit late. Let's get started right away. I have something to do afterward."When the door opened, light from the hallway filtered in, illuminating the figure at the doorway in a vague silhouette. Hearing Christian's words, Jane's body stiffened. She didn't dare walk further inside and quietly reminded him, "Mr. Lane, it's me."Christian was stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he reached out to turn on the lights. Looking at Jane, his voice was full of confusion as he asked, "Hasn't she come back yet?"Jane was covered in sweat. She nodded and said, "No."The atmosphere in the room immediately grew heavy.Jane knew that Christian was unhappy. She felt helpless and could only try to comfort him by saying, "Mrs. Lane usually comes back very early. Last month, she arriv

Talia hadn't been back to the Stewart residence for six months, and the atmosphere was strangely tense. The dining table was laden with abundant food. They were mostly dishes Talia loved.The entire Stewart family had opposed it when Talia decided to marry Christian. However, she had threatened to cut ties with her family, forcing them to agree to the marriage. But after the wedding, Christian had never once come back to the Stewart residence with her.Talia's father, Hector Stewart, and Garrett both wore cold expressions. Her mother, Madeline Coleman, had red eyes and kept wiping away tears. Paige wanted to smooth things over, but didn't know where to start. Meanwhile, Maeve secretly observed everyone's expressions.Just as Talia was about to stand up and apologize to her family, Garrett suddenly said sarcastically, "Tomorrow is Joseph Lane's birthday. Instead of serving that whole family at the Lanes', how do you have time to return to the Stewart residence?"Every word he spoke

When Jane reached the study on the second floor, she saw Christian looking through something at the desk. He instinctively looked up when he heard the footsteps. Seeing that it was Jane, he asked, "Where is Talia?"Jane pointed downstairs. "Mrs. Lane seemed to have an urgent matter. She left in a hurry."Christian straightened up, his face showing a rare anger. "She left?"Following Talia's instructions, he had come to the study to look for something, but he didn't find anything. Now, she was gone. How could he not be angry?Sensing Christian's anger, Jane asked somewhat timidly, "Sir, what are you looking for?"Christian said, "Talia said that there was an agreement on the desk. Have you seen it?"Jane thought for a moment, then said, realizing, "Oh, I remember. Mrs. Lane asked me to give it to you. I was afraid I'd forget, so I put it in my room. I'll go get it for you right away."Christian frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure as he warned, "Don't touch anything in the
