All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 541 - Chapter 550

The faucet was still running, water pouring down in a steady stream.Talia continued to hold Quentin's hand, keeping it under the flowing water.Behind her, Quentin's warm, solid chest pressed against her back. His body radiated heat. In the early winter morning, he felt like the sun's warmth wrapped around her.For a brief moment, Talia lost herself in the sensation.He had encircled her completely.As she leaned into him, her small stature made her look especially dainty and adorable.He buried his head in the crook of her neck, taking in her scent almost greedily. The scent of her was like a drug, a seductive pull that dragged him toward an inescapable void.As she slowly regained her senses, Talia realized that they were in her own home, with her family just outside.She struggled and gently pushed at his chest. "Let go, Quentin. They're outside. It wouldn't look good if they saw."But Quentin didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he pulled her even closer and said in a low voi

As soon as Talia returned to her seat, Garrett's displeased gaze swept over her. He shot her a cold look and said, "Go stay with Maeve. If no one calls for you, don't come down."After he finished speaking, Talia shot Quentin another worried glance.Quentin met her eyes. He was in a panic, yet he still managed a smile. "I'm fine. Go check on Maeve."Despite her worries, Talia could only nod and leave.Upstairs, she quietly entered Maeve's bedroom. The little girl was fast asleep, so Talia decided not to wake her.Still, her thoughts kept drifting to Quentin downstairs, and she couldn't shake the anxiety she felt.Perhaps sensing that someone had entered the room, Maeve woke up right on cue.Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at the visitor in surprise and called out, "Aunt Talia?"At her voice, Talia quickly pushed aside her concerns about Quentin and walked over to the bed. She sat down next to Maeve and gently touched her cheek. "Yes, it's me."Maeve pinched herself to make

Quentin's tone was serious. Anyone who heard it would be moved by his sincerity.But Garrett was well aware of Quentin's reputation as a womanizer. The internet was littered with his tabloid rumors.Setting that aside, though, the Stewarts and the Hendersons were worlds apart in terms of status.As Talia's brother, Garrett had already planned out a future for Talia.Once she divorced, she could continue her work as a pediatric surgeon. If luck was on her side, she'd find someone in her own field to marry and start a family with. And if that luck never came, Garrett was perfectly fine with supporting her for the rest of her life.At that thought, Garrett stood firm in his opinion. "Mr. Henderson, people are practical. Will you still say the same thing when she loses her grace and tautness?"Smiling, Quentin replied, "Garrett, I'm not as bad as you think. I don't have all these complicated thoughts. My heart is small, so small that once I met her, it couldn't fit anyone else."Gar

Once Quentin entered the room, Talia felt a sense of relief wash over her.She had been worried that Christian would see Quentin and become furious, dragging her family into an unpleasant situation.She didn't care about herself, but her family mattered deeply to her.Looking downstairs again, she saw that Christian had already taken a seat with Yvonne on the couch.Garrett, Paige, and Hector had all left, leaving only Madeline at home.Madeline had noticed Christian and Yvonne's arrival, and she seemed a little dazed, unsure of how to react.Suddenly, Christian called out to Madeline, "Madeline."The way he addressed her tasted bitter and hollow to her ears. She didn't even deign to respond.However, Yvonne was there, so Madeline felt she had to at least offer a polite acknowledgment. In the end, she gave a soft hum.When Christian heard her response, he turned to ask, "Where's Talia?"Madeline glanced upstairs, trying to maintain a calm facade. She explained, "She should be

It was exactly 8:28 am when Talia dropped Maeve off at kindergarten.It wasn't too late, but Maeve was so anxious that she immediately started running as soon as she entered the school grounds, worried about being late.Watching Maeve run, Talia couldn't help but smile gently. A few other girls were also running alongside Maeve, clearly fond of her.It was a stark contrast to Yvonne, whom Talia had never seen form such bonds with other kids.She couldn't help but think about how arrogant and overbearing Yvonne could be. She was probably disliked by many at school.Once Maeve was in her classroom, Talia turned to leave and hailed a cab.On the ride back to the Stewart residence, she assumed Christian and Yvonne would have already left.However, to her surprise, as soon as she entered the living room, she saw them still sitting on the couch.Noticing her arrival, Christian glanced over and gave a slight nod in greeting.Confused, Talia walked up to him and asked, "Why are you st
