It was already 2:00 am. There were only two possible reasons why Yvonne would have called Talia.She was either feeling unwell or missing Christian and Nancy.And coincidentally, Nancy had been injured that night, and Christian had gone to the hospital with her.That meant that Yvonne had no one with her.After stating that fact, Talia didn't care how Emma or Yvonne felt on the other end of the line. She immediately hung up.On Emma's end, she was still holding the phone, not fully registering what had happened, when the dull busy tone sounded.In her memory, Talia had always treated Christian and Yvonne with great care, attending to every detail.But now, she was completely different.Emma understood the reason clearly, so she never thought Talia was in the wrong. A husband and child like that truly were not worth Talia's attention.But she was only a helper at Jubilee Manor. She had no place to speak her mind.As soon as she put the phone away, Yvonne burst into tears again

Melissa's words sent a chill through Talia's whole body.Fortunately, Melissa had other matters to attend to, so they didn't talk for long before parting ways.After thinking it over, Talia decided to go to Jubilee Manor to check on Yvonne.On the drive there, Melissa's words kept echoing in her mind.Yvonne had once been such a well-behaved child, but somehow, she had turned out like this.Before Talia started working, Yvonne had only been four—polite, cheerful, and full of sweetness. Whenever they went out for a walk, other mothers would often stop to ask her age and praise how pretty she was.But now, Yvonne couldn't even make friends. Even Maeve seemed to dislike her.When Talia arrived at Jubilee Manor, she didn't see Yvonne in the living room. Emma was busy in the kitchen, and only Jennifer was sitting on the couch watching TV, snacking on peanuts.Hearing footsteps at the door, Jennifer glanced up. The moment she saw Talia, her eyes immediately flashed with disdain.Tal

Jennifer was furious. She shoved Emma hard and said, "Emma, Talia doesn't deserve to be a mother. Taking Yvonne upstairs just means she wants to hit her. If she hurts Yvonne, Nancy will be heartbroken. Get out of my way. Don't stop me. I'm going upstairs to see her."No matter what Jennifer said, Emma held onto her firmly. "Mrs. York, Mrs. Lane is a gentle woman. She wouldn't lay a hand on Ms. Yvonne. Don't worry."No matter how hard Jennifer tried, she couldn't pry Emma's hand open, so she ultimately gave up.But Emma was still worried, so she kept following Jennifer, watching her to prevent her from going upstairs to cause trouble.Upstairs, Yvonne cried herself to exhaustion and then collapsed face down on the couch.Before long, she fell asleep.As Talia looked at her, her heart ached.Seeing Yvonne asleep, Talia carefully carried her to bed and tucked her in. She stayed by Yvonne's side, thinking about how she should discipline her.She didn't know how long she'd been sitt

After Talia left Jubilee Manor, she drove her car to a nearby park. Between Yvonne's disobedience and Christian's complete disregard for their daughter's health, Talia felt a sharp pain in her chest that wouldn't go away. She wanted to ease it, but she couldn't think of a way.Sitting down on a bench, Talia covered her face and silently shed tears. She could ignore Christian, but Yvonne was still so young.Without proper guidance, she would undoubtedly go astray. Moreover, Yvonne's unstable sleep schedule would affect her health.Thinking of all this made Talia's chest tighten with frustration. The night wind was cold, but her heart was even colder.She lost track of how long she sat there before a pair of feet stopped in front of her. Talia was startled and quickly looked up.She found herself looking up at Rodney, who wore a faint smile. However, his smile disgusted Talia.Seeing that it was him, Talia hurriedly stood to leave. Rodney stepped forward to block her path. "Ms. Ste

After Talia let out an annoyed sound, Quentin quickly turned his face away. At the same time, his ears turned red as he apologized, "I-I'm sorry."Talia snapped at him, "Get out first."Quentin glanced at the window. "I came to see you about something. I'll leave in a bit. Get dressed first."He couldn't get the image of her bare back out of his head. He forced himself to stop thinking about it.Talia watched him turn around with his back to her. For some reason, she actually trusted him. She removed the towel and changed into her pajamas.After changing, she said to Quentin, "I'm dressed now."When Quentin turned around, he didn't dare look Talia directly in the eyes. He just stared at her toes. "Okay."Talia was actually somewhat angry that he climbed through her window in the middle of the night. After all, this wasn't the first or second time he had scared her. What's more, she hadn't even been wearing clothes just now.Thinking of this, Talia said to him patiently, "Quenti
