When She Turns Her Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 181 - チャプター 190

Christian left Jubilee Manor on Friday night.That same night, Talia, who was still weak, slept on the couch in Yvonne's room to take care of her.By the next day, Talia's fever had broken, and she felt a little better.After having breakfast with Yvonne, she wanted to take her out for a walk.A lot had happened recently, and Yvonne's attitude toward Talia had been unpredictable.When Talia suggested going out, Yvonne didn't resist, but didn't seem excited either. It was as if she were just going through the motions.Talia didn't care what was going through Yvonne's mind. She only wanted to do what she was supposed to do.They spent over an hour wandering in the park before heading to the supermarket.By the time they returned to Jubilee Manor, it was nearly 10:00 am.Talia planned to cook a nutritious meal for Yvonne, so she started preparing in the kitchen early.Around 11:00 am, her phone rang.As she checked the caller ID, she was surprised to see it was Monica, her univ

Talia felt her anger rise when she heard Christian's offer, but she was too exhausted to argue. She said firmly, "No need."Then, she hung up without hesitation.Monica, who had been standing beside Talia, overheard the conversation. She understood what was going on and immediately confronted Talia, "That scumbag's such trash! Why aren't you divorcing him yet?"Talia's voice was hoarse as she replied, "I will, soon."Monica grew angrier by the minute. "That scumbag spent millions of dollars on fireworks alone for his mistress' birthday, not to mention the gifts and surprises. His spending easily hits tens of millions of dollars, yet you have to ask him for money to buy Yvonne a few thousand dollars' worth of clothes? I don't get how he hasn't been hit by karma yet."Talia was indeed disappointed and hurt, but she had grown used to this kind of treatment. It no longer shocked her."Monica, I won't buy the clothes. You don't need to get mad over someone like him."Monica was visib

Talia paused for a moment before replying coldly over the phone, "Do whatever you want. You don't have to discuss it with me."She hung up before Christian could say anything.Clutching her phone, she sat on the couch in a daze for a long while.A second later, the screen lit up again with an incoming call. She thought that it would be Christian, but it was Henry."Yes, Henry?" When Talia answered, she tried to keep her voice calm.Henry sensed her sadness but didn't press her further about it. Instead, he said, "Tomorrow's the weekend. Want to go to the library together?"Talia agreed. "Sure. What time?""How about 10:00 am?" Henry asked."Sounds good," Talia replied.She was preparing for her standardized exam. Time was tight, but Yvonne's illness had recently interrupted her studies.With Yvonne away, Talia thought she should seize the chance to study.The next morning, she got up early, got ready, and drove out of Jubilee Manor.When she arrived at the library, Henry wa

When Quentin pulled Talia into his arms, her body twisted awkwardly across the car's center console.Fearing that the reporter outside might catch a clear shot of Talia, Quentin covered her entire body with his coat.Talia's face was buried against his chest. She could smell the faint mix of tobacco and mint on him.The two scents blended together, yet it wasn't unpleasant.Under the coat, Quentin's hand rested on her hip. She knew that he was doing it on purpose, but she didn't dare protest or move an inch. If that reporter got even one photo of her, she would be in deep trouble.She had seen how ruthless the internet could be. It didn't take much to destroy someone.The reporter outside was still there. He raised the camera and snapped away at Quentin through the window.Quentin glanced sideways at the reporter's camera. Rather than showing his anger, he smiled and asked, "Trying to score a headline, huh?"The man chuckled. "Mr. Henderson, mind if I get a shot of the lady bes

Talia used to be warm and full of smiles for Christian, always checking in and caring for him. But now, she didn't even bother calling him anymore. When she did, it was only about Yvonne.Christian felt that something was seriously off with her lately. Was she really involved with Quentin?…In Jarrowind, after finishing her nighttime routine, Talia stared at the bracelet on her wrist for a long time.Not wanting to disturb Maeve, she put her phone on silent mode, so Christian's video calls went unnoticed.By the time she saw them, she didn't even think about calling back.Before falling asleep, she mindlessly opened Instagram. The very first suggested reel was from Nancy's account."Naners" had posted a video showing someone holding her close, revealing only the person's shoulder and jawline.Talia didn't have to check for details. She immediately recognized the person as Christian.The caption was extremely cheesy. "You always show up when I need you. Your embrace feels so w
