บททั้งหมดของ When She Turns Her Back: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Talia stood at the back of the crowd. Through the gaps between people, she caught a glimpse of Christian standing beside the stage. Although she didn't know what he was doing, the fact that he could stand there and accompany Nancy showed that he truly cared for her.As the piano melody reached its most beautiful passage, the murmuring below turned to praise."Mr. Lane really knows how to pick them. This lady is not only beautiful, but she plays piano so wonderfully. If I were a man, I'd fall for her too.""It's not just that she plays beautifully. She has such a great figure, too. Does she have any flaws at all?"Hearing these comments, Talia only felt like laughing. Everyone praised Nancy, but they didn't know that she was the obstacle in her marriage to Christian. Beneath that beautiful exterior, she didn't have a kind heart after all.Quentin also found those words grating. Talia was clearly Christian's wife, yet everyone only recognized Nancy.Talia didn't want to stay there

After leaving the ballroom, Talia stood by the roadside waiting for a car. Perhaps because a wave of people had just left, but it was extremely difficult to get one. She waited several minutes without success.Talia grew increasingly anxious. She opened her phone several times but didn't know who to call. Just as she was growing frantic with worry, Christian's voice suddenly came from not far behind her. "Talia Stewart."Christian called her by her full name, his voice detached.Talia turned around and saw Christian and Nancy. Nancy had her arm linked through Christian's. Standing together, they looked more than just well-matched.Nancy's eyes held a probing look as she studied Talia. Then Christian said to Talia, "We're heading back anyway. Come with us."Talia glanced again at the empty street. She was truly worried about Yvonne, so she had no choice but to agree. "Okay."At the same time, Christian's driver pulled the car up to the curb. There were three of them. If Talia sat

Talia looked down at her daughter. Yvonne's eyes clearly held complicated conflict, but she ignored it and simply said, "Yes, you're not feeling well, so I will stay here with you."Yvonne's face wrinkled with concern. "Mommy, did Daddy tell you I wasn't feeling well?"After taking Yvonne's pajamas from the closet, Talia replied, "Yes."Hearing that it was her father who had said that she wasn't feeling well, Yvonne didn't dare say anything more. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Talia, "Then Mommy, wait for me a moment. I'm going downstairs to drink a glass of milk, and then I'll come back up."Yvonne did have a habit of drinking milk before bed, but usually Talia would bring it up to her. During the time Talia wasn't at Jubilee Manor, Emma had been the one delivering it to her bedroom. There was really no need for Yvonne to make the trip downstairs herself.So Talia could guess what she was really going out to do.After Yvonne

After finishing the wine, Talia's emotions got the better of her, and she began to cry. She pressed a hand against her chest. She didn't know why she felt so panicked and flustered.Just then, her phone suddenly began ringing. She looked down and saw that Garrett was calling her.It was still quite early in the night, around 11:00 pm.Worried that Garrett would notice something amiss, Talia quickly pulled herself together and kept her emotions in check before answering the call. "Garrett?"Even though Talia did all she could to sound normal, the tremble in her voice still gave her away. Still, Garrett didn't immediately expose her.He just said, "It's getting late. Why aren't you back yet? Maeve has been asking for you."Talia felt another pang in her chest. To think that Maeve, her niece, was more concerned about her than her own daughter.She hesitated before saying, "Garrett, Yvonne's fallen sick, so I decided to stay with her for one night. I'll be back tomorrow night."Gar

Christian frowned when he saw Talia sitting in the back seat.Was she seriously treating him as her designated driver?Still, it was getting late, and Christian didn't want to continue arguing with her. He just started up the car and headed straight for the Lane residence.Talia sat in the back while hugging the gift box she'd brought along with her. She turned her head slightly and looked at the scenery outside the window.She didn't ask Christian about his gift. She also didn't ask him why Yvonne wasn't in the car with him. She used to care about all these things, but nobody appreciated the effort she put into her family. So, now, she decided that she was only going to prioritize herself.The car was quiet on the way to the Lane residence. Nobody spoke a single word to each other.Halfway there, Franklin suddenly called Talia."Talia, has Chris already picked you up?""Yes, Franklin.""Oh, that's good. Take your time, alright? There's no need to rush."Talia nodded and repl
