บททั้งหมดของ When She Turns Her Back: บทที่ 291 - บทที่ 300

In the background of the video call, Yvonne could be heard saying, "Nancy, my teacher said there's a fall field trip next weekend. Will you come with me?"Mrs. York, do you want some water? I'll get it for you."The family sounded harmonious, with laughter and playful voices drifting through from time to time. Although Christian was driving, he'd occasionally chime in with a comment or two.Although he wasn't physically at Jubilee Manor, his heart was there, participating in their joy at every moment. Talia sat in the back, trying to shrink into the corner. She was afraid Nancy on the video call would notice how miserable she looked.She was Christian's wife and Yvonne's mother, yet she felt like an outsider right now. The entire drive was torture for Talia.She counted the tree shadows flickering past the window, but lost track after a while. Fortunately, Christian stopped the car. After saying a few words to Nancy, he hung up.Before visiting Franklin, Talia stopped at a flower

Talia knew that Christian was going back to be with Yvonne and Nancy, but what could she say? She couldn't get a single word out.But thinking of Julian's vile behavior, she was about to say something when the phone line signaled that Christian had another call coming in. Talia didn't call back. She silently put her phone away and pulled herself together.Once she was certain that nothing looked amiss, she left the hospital. When she returned to the Stewart residence, Paige was sitting in the living room, apparently waiting for her or Garrett.Thinking of Julian's words, Talia's heart ached. She thought that Paige was a good sister-in-law and refused to believe his accusations.Standing outside the living room, she took two deep breaths before slowly walking in.Paige looked up when she heard footsteps. When she saw that it was Talia, she immediately smiled. "Talia, you're back."Talia walked over and asked, smiling, "Paige, it's so late. Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"Paige

Willow drove Talia and Paige back to the Stewart residence. Talia sat in the back seat, with Paige resting her head on the former's lap.Throughout the entire ride, Paige kept waving her hands around aimlessly and muttering things now and then."Mr. Gardner, Gardner Group has always run its funds through our financial platform. Nothing has ever gone wrong all these years, and our technology is fully mature. I sincerely hope you won't terminate the partnership."Oh, please, Mr. Gardner. I have a husband. I'm a married woman. How could I possibly be qualified to warm your bed? I'm afraid I'm not even worthy to be your maid."Mr. York, I don't know how I might have offended you. Please make it clear to me so I can correct myself."Paige rambled on. From her words, Talia slowly pieced together what had happened.The Stewart family worked in the finance industry. Only by working with large enterprises could they earn big profits and keep the company running.But Julian, who had alway

Without new projects, Stewart Group might not hold on much longer.On the other end of the phone, Lionel seemed about to say more, but Garrett cut him off and hung up before he could speak.Talia heard the call drop and hurried to say something, but Garrett looked up and beat her to it. "I've found a new partner. It's not a big company, but it can at least stabilize ours."He continued, "You and Christian are almost divorced. Stewart Group is facing a crisis, but that doesn't mean you have to stoop to make deals with him. And I know that he's offering this deal not because my company is doing well."Talia lowered her head in silence.Garrett didn't say more on that subject. He just smiled and said, "Let's continue eating. These past few difficult days will be behind us soon."Looking up at Garrett, Talia still felt uneasy and asked, "Which company did you negotiate with?"Garrett ate as he replied, "It's a medium-sized aerospace company. Stewart Group is safe for now."Talia wa

As Christian stepped out of the elevator, he turned back and took Talia's hand again.With Franklin right in front of them, Talia didn't resist.Christian led her out, and Franklin's smile grew even wider at this scene.Franklin had originally planned to head down for a walk, but since Talia and Christian were here, he turned back to his ward instead.At that moment, there were no more visitors in the room, but it was filled with piles of fruit, flowers, and gifts.Franklin sat by the hospital bed and waved for Talia and Christian to sit on the couch.After everyone had settled, he asked in confusion, "Where's Yvonne? Why didn't you bring her along?"Franklin knew that day was their turn to stay with him, so he naturally asked about Yvonne.Christian replied, "She has school tomorrow, so I had her stay at Jubilee Manor. Emma is with her. You don't have to worry, Grandpa."Upon hearing that, Franklin frowned. "How can that be? Emma is just a helper. How can she compare to her p
