All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

The sudden question caught Nancy off guard. But after a moment, she understood what Christian was asking.Before Nancy could say anything, he studied her eyes in the mirror and asked, "You don't want to?"Nancy quickly explained, "No, I was just thinking that I'm not Yvonne's biological mother. Wouldn't I be overstepping?"Christian freed her hair from the zipper, then smoothed it down for her. "Yvonne likes you, and you're more qualified than her biological mother anyway."From the moment Christian asked the question, the smile had faded from Nancy's face. This was the moment she'd worked so hard for, yet now that it was here, she felt no happiness at all.If she got together with Christian, not only would she become a stepmother, but what about her career?When Nancy didn't respond, Christian tried tentatively, "Nancy?"Nancy returned to her senses and looked at Christian. She asked, "Can I really do this?"Christian smiled at Nancy's reflection in the mirror. "Of course you

Quentin looked up at Talia once he was done messaging Millie. He had assumed that Talia was still asleep, but her eyes were already open.He looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"She had been sleeping fine just moments ago, and now she was suddenly awake. He put away his phone, his expression filled with concern as he studied her.As he looked her over carefully, he saw that most of her bruises had healed, though the larger ones still hadn't faded.Under Quentin's worried gaze, Talia smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I just need to use the bathroom."Quentin immediately stood and reached for the IV bag. "Come on. I'll go with you."Talia quickly protested, "I can just call the nurse."She started to reach for the call button, but Quentin was faster. He caught her arm and said, "They're all busy. Let me take you."His tone was firm. Talia could tell that he wasn't going to take no for an answer. Although she was embarrassed, nature was calling, and she really couldn't wait.She ultimate

Quentin watched as Talia pulled the blanket over herself. He knew that she wasn't actually trying to sleep. She just didn't want to keep talking.So he didn't call out her little act.But eventually, Talia did drift off. Quentin grew drowsy as well and rested his head on the edge of the bed.Two hours later, a sharp ringtone jolted them both awake. Talia reached for her phone, but Quentin had already grabbed it.As he handed it to her, her fingers brushed against his skin. That brief touch sent his heart racing.Taking the phone, Talia saw it was Henry calling, so she answered."Hey, Henry."Henry's worried voice came through. "I heard from a colleague that you took time off."Talia didn't offer much explanation. "I wasn't feeling well, so I took a few days off. It's nothing serious, though. Don't worry."Henry didn't sound convinced. "Where are you? I'll come see you."Talia didn't want to trouble him. "Henry, I'm almost completely better."Henry didn't press further, but a

The kick sent Connor sprawling to the floor. He clutched his side, his face twisted in pain. When he saw how angry Christian was, fear crept over him.Connor didn't dare make a sound, only looking up at Christian with pleading eyes. Christian said nothing, grabbed his coat from the couch, and walked out of the study.Connor scrambled to his feet and stumbled after him. "Chris, you're the only one who can help me."Christian didn't respond. He strode quickly down the stairs.Outside, Christian got into his car. After getting Talia's hospital address from Lionel, he drove straight there.The whole drive over, Christian's mind churned. He kept thinking about how Talia had collapsed that day, how weak she'd looked when she woke up in the hospital, and guilt hit him unexpectedly.Someone that weak had been beaten for no reason that night.That evening, Talia had first argued with Christian and then been attacked by Shayla. The thought alone made it hard for him to breathe, guilt sett

Quentin wanted to help, but Garrett wouldn't let him.After an awkward silence, Quentin grabbed the bags from Garrett anyway. "No, you need my help."He grabbed everything and headed straight to the kitchen. Garrett stood there stunned, still trying to process what had just happened.Just then, Paige came in from outside, also carrying several bags. She had seen Quentin snatch the groceries from Garrett's hands.Noticing Garrett standing frozen, she waved her hand in front of his face until he snapped out of it. Then she smiled gently and said, "If he wants to help, let him. What's the harm?"Garrett turned to give Paige a look. "I know what you're thinking, but I don't agree."Paige kept smiling. "What does it matter if you agree? What matters is what Talia wants."Garrett said nothing more. He took the bags from Paige and walked into the kitchen.Quentin had just set everything down when Garrett came in with more groceries. He was about to take them when he noticed Paige foll
