Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 401 - Bab 410

Three hours earlier, at the villa next to Jubilee Manor, the house blazed with lights in bright extravagance.Jennifer had just moved in and had been looking forward to sleeping in, but unexpectedly, Emma came knocking at the door with Yvonne in tow.When Jennifer opened the door, Yvonne cheerfully threw herself into Jennifer's arms, hugging her legs. "Mrs. York, I want to sleep with you tonight."Christian had just called earlier. He told Yvonne that he and Nancy would be at a business dinner that evening and wouldn't be back until late. So he had told Yvonne to rest first.But Yvonne couldn't fall asleep, so she thought of having Jennifer keep her company. That was why she'd begged Emma to quietly bring her over to the villa next to Jubilee Manor.Jennifer had been tidying up all day and was already exhausted. Now, seeing Yvonne, this pampered young thing, an inexplicable anger flared inside her.But in front of Emma, she could only plaster on a big smile. She embraced Yvonne w

Jennifer looked at Nancy's serious expression and thought that the latter was going to scold her, but she hadn't expected this.Hearing this, Jennifer's smile deepened. She said softly to Nancy, "Actually, I've secretly pinched her before, too."Nancy laughed and gave Jennifer a light push. "Mom, you're always so clever."Jennifer patted Nancy's hand, her voice sympathetic as she said, "It's just hard on you. You clearly hate this situation, but you still have to keep smiling through it."Nancy said cheerfully, "If flashing a smile earns me status and position, that's hardly a loss."Jennifer nodded, then voiced her agreement. "You're not wrong about that."The two of them let their guards down, tired of pretending. But just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the kitchen doorway.Nancy was about to tell Jennifer to pinch Yvonne more often, but before she could get the words out, Christian's voice spoke first. "What are you two talking about? It looks pretty secretive."At that

As Quentin passed with his arm around Monique, Talia was focused on her phone while Henry poured her a glass of water.Henry pushed the cup toward her. "Jarrowind is very dry. Drinking some water will help soothe your throat."Only then did Talia look up at Henry. She smiled faintly. "Thanks."Quentin had his arm around Monique's waist. Whether he slowed on purpose or they were just too wrapped up in each other was anyone's guess.Either way, after passing Talia's table, he still didn't sit down. Instead, he and Monique openly flirted.There were quite a few customers in the restaurant, but Quentin didn't care at all. His hand gripped Monique's waist while she nestled against his chest.She cooed, "Mr. Henderson, you're so naughty. Holding me this tight, aren't you afraid I'll get all worked up?"Monique was even more shameless, her words dripping with blatant provocation. At the same time, her hand wandered over Quentin's abdomen.Quentin's smile deepened. He looked down at Mo

After Talia and Henry left the restaurant together, they stood by the roadside waiting for a car. With Franklin still at Jubilee Manor, she knew that she would likely have to return later. However, she wasn't ready to go back just yet.So, she said to Henry, "Let's walk around for a bit. I ate too much just now."Henry wanted to spend more time with Talia anyway, so he immediately agreed. "Sure."The two of them walked side by side. The long street seemed to stretch endlessly ahead.When Talia was with Henry, they talked mostly about the hospital. Before they knew it, nearly an hour had passed.Seeing that it was getting late, Talia decided to head back. Henry offered to take her, but she refused.After getting into the cab, Talia's phone chimed with a WhatsApp notification. And it wasn't just one chime. It went off more than ten times.After unlocking her phone and opening the app, she saw Quentin's name with 18 unread messages.But when she opened the chat, all she saw were r

After dropping Nancy off, Christian returned to his study to continue working. He had only been working for a short while when the study door was quietly pushed open. He could tell from the footsteps alone it was Yvonne.He stopped what he was doing and turned around to look. Yvonne was holding her doll, wearing her pajamas. When she came to Christian's side, she asked softly, "Daddy, how long until you go to sleep?"Christian looked down. He reached out and pulled Yvonne onto his lap, then touched his forehead to hers. "I have to work late. It might be a while."Yvonne pouted, clearly unhappy. Christian reached out and pinched his daughter's earlobe. "Why don't you go to bed first?"Yvonne pressed her lips together and didn't say anything. Christian could see that she was clearly unhappy. He asked patiently, "What's wrong?"Yvonne wasn't sure what was wrong. She just seemed to miss Talia a little. When Talia was around, she never yelled at her. She would always explain things gen
