Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 481 - Bab 490

The moment Quentin heard the nurse mention that Millie was awake, he couldn't be bothered to bicker with Henry anymore. He turned and hurried away in a frantic rush.As Talia watched him leave, she felt a strange sense of relief that he was gone. If he had stayed any longer, she wasn't sure how much more Henry might say.She pulled her hand away from Henry's grasp and took a step back before saying, "Henry, I need to go back."He stood up immediately and said, "I'll drive you."Talia instinctively rejected. "Henry, you need to rest. I can go back on my own."But Henry insisted. "I'm not letting you go alone. Let me drive you."Talia had no choice but to agree. If she didn't say yes, Henry might not let her leave.Once they arrived at the Stewart residence, Henry drove off without saying anything more.Talia was thankful for the quiet.As soon as she entered the house, she found that her family wasn't home. Only the helpers were present.She felt utterly drained, so she headed

Watching Christian stand there, calm and unfazed, Talia raised her voice. She said, "If I'd known that Yvonne would turn out like this, I would have killed her as a baby, instead of wasting all these years raising her."Talia's words were biting and harsh. Frowning, Christian snapped at her, "Enough! She's just a child."Seeing how fiercely he defended Yvonne, Talia smirked. "You'll regret this one day."Christian didn't even flinch. "You're the one who'll regret this."With that, he turned to leave with Yvonne in his arms.Talia stood frozen. The pain was so agonizing that her consciousness flickered. Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed.Yvonne was resting on Christian's shoulder, so she saw every second of Talia's collapse.Christian heard the sound and instinctively turned to look, but before he could, Yvonne suddenly said, "Daddy, I want a lollipop later."Christian adjusted his hold on her and replied, his smile soft, "Alright. I'll get you one."Talia's eyes

Talia understood what Quentin meant, so she didn't say anything more.At his insistence, she accepted his offer to drive her home. He dropped her off at the Stewart residence and drove away.When Talia returned, Garrett and the others weren't home, and only the helpers were busy around the house.Once in her bedroom, Talia took a warm shower. After that, she lay down to catch up on some sleep.When she opened her eyes again, she heard a knock on the door. The helper's voice came through. "Ms. Stewart, we have a guest."Talia was still a little groggy but replied, "Okay. I'll be down in a moment."After quickly freshening up, she made her way downstairs.She expected it to be one of her relatives, but to her surprise, it was Cecilia. It had been a long time since Talia had seen her.When Cecilia heard footsteps approaching, she quickly stood from the couch and greeted Talia. "Talia!"At the sight of Cecilia's smile, Talia couldn't help but recall Connor's words.When she thoug

With those words, Christian walked toward the living room. After heating a cup of milk in the kitchen, he took it upstairs.Standing in the early winter wind, Cecilia felt her heart was colder than the air.She had defended Talia, yet Christian remained so unwavering in his stance.Upstairs, Christian entered Yvonne's room.She was lying on her bed, playing a game on her digital tablet. When she heard his footsteps, she instinctively looked up and asked, "Daddy, are you going to sleep with me tonight?"He thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, but before I agree, you have to answer a question."She was a little confused and asked, "What's your question?"Christian handed her the cup of warm milk and asked, "Who taught you to say those things about Aunt Cecilia at the dinner table?"Yvonne paused for a moment, but still replied firmly, "Mommy taught me."He gazed into her eyes, pressing further, "Are you sure you're not lying?"She nodded confidently. "I'm sure."Upon hear

Quentin kept spinning Talia around without any intention of stopping. She felt dizzy and was on the verge of throwing up.She reached out and tapped his shoulder. "Quentin, stop spinning. I'm going to throw up."Only then did Quentin halt his movements.When he set Talia down, he lost his balance and fell on top of her. Both of them tumbled onto the bed.Quentin was tall and heavy. When they fell toward the bed, he braced his hands on either side of her to avoid crushing her with his weight.Although his weight didn't land directly on her, his face, chest, and certain other parts of him pressed against her.Talia was dressed lightly in only a thin nightgown. A faint scent of body wash lingered on her, and her long hair spilled across the pillow. Due to the impact, her nightgown clung to her body, highlighting her subtle curves.Quentin's body, pressed against hers, immediately caught her captivating allure. For a moment, he couldn't think straight. A searing heat surged through
