All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Talia's cheek rested against Quentin's chest. She could hear the low hum of his voice and the steady thump of his heartbeat.His words were so full of emotion that even Talia, who had already been married, couldn't help feeling her heart skip a beat for a moment.But she knew that Quentin was a womanizer. He knew exactly what to say to melt a woman's heart.Talia struggled a couple of times. When she realized that she couldn't break free, she finally said, "The first aid kit is in the cabinet under the coffee table."Upon hearing that, Quentin let go of her and snapped, "Talia, if I actually cared about you, I'd be your lapdog."With that, he turned and walked toward the window.A rope hung down from outside. All he had to do was grab it, and he could disappear in seconds.But Quentin didn't move. He stood there for a long moment.Talia caught his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window. His eyes were shut, as if he were wrestling with himself.A few seconds later, he spun a

The next day, at 9:00 am, Talia arrived at the courthouse to find Christian already there. His car was parked by the roadside, but he hadn't gotten out yet.Christian was never punctual, yet that day, he kept his word. It was clear that he had been waiting for this day, too.Inside the car, Christian was on the phone with Lionel.Lionel's disappointed voice came through. "Mr. Lane, we failed at reclaiming the project."Christian stared at the trees by the roadside, his expression darkening. He said in a low voice, "Okay."Lionel continued, "The client has already reached an agreement with Henderson Corp. They'll likely sign the contract within the next couple of days."Christian's expression darkened further as he said coldly, "This isn't the first time Quentin has stolen our projects. He has just been holding back lately. I didn't expect his old habits to resurface now."Lionel suggested, "Mr. Lane, why don't we bid for that project in Eastia? Quentin's odds are good, but he's

Christian's words carried an obvious threat.Talia heard it clearly and knew that he was defending Nancy.Worried that Henry might get dragged into their conflict, she stood and said to Henry, "Henry, let's go somewhere else."Christian noted her action. His cold eyes narrowed as he studied them both. At the same time, suspicion grew in his mind.He wondered if Talia was rushing to divorce because of Henry, rather than Quentin.In the past few days, Christian had been making guesses about the reason behind Talia's desire for divorce, but he couldn't figure out who exactly it was about.Henry rose to his feet and cast a cool glance at Christian. "Mr. Lane, since you're saying this isn't even about the research topic, then I have even less reason to stay."With that, he took Talia's arm and led her out of the restaurant.Nancy's eyes reddened as she watched Henry leave.She couldn't help but wonder if Henry truly disliked her because of Talia. But how could that be?Christian t

Talia stood still, looking at Christian's face. This was the face she once longed for day and night. Yet, she now felt nothing.Upon hearing Christian's question, she let out a bitter laugh.After a long pause, she said, "Christian, we don't even look like a married couple anymore. We might as well set each other free sooner rather than later."Confusion appeared in Christian's eyes. He looked down at her and seriously asked, "What does being a married couple look like, then?"Talia didn't know what he was thinking, but she told him, "You and Nancy look more like one."After saying that, she planned to leave. But after a moment's thought, she looked back up and said, "By the way, I hate to hurt your pride, but you really only last three minutes in bed."Christian's expression darkened at once, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and looked down at her before demanding, "What, did you try it with someone else?"Talia met his gaze without hesitati

The next day, Talia finished an early shift. Willow came to pick her up and took her to get styled.Time was tight, so the makeup artist didn't do anything too elaborate.Willow selected a white, strapless bodycon dress for Talia. The dress was long enough to cover her long legs but revealed just the right amount on top.Even after giving birth, Talia still had an excellent figure. She was curvy in all the right places, with a waist so slim that it looked like it could be held in one hand.With her great figure, makeup, and high heels, even Willow couldn't take her eyes off her."Talia, you're really stunning. Christian seriously doesn't know how lucky he is," Willow teased as she hooked her arm through Talia's.Talia stared at her reflection in the mirror, momentarily lost in thought.They'd been married for five years, and Christian had never taken her to any party, so she rarely dressed up so formally.There was a stark contrast between everyday makeup and party makeup.
