Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 561 - Bab 570

After Emma went into the kitchen, Talia absentmindedly sat on the couch.She looked at the coffee table, which had once been covered with diapers, formula cans, and baby bottles. Now, it held flowers, packets of coffee powder, and a few fashion magazines.Without a doubt, Nancy had likely brewed herself a cup of coffee and sat here flipping through those magazines.Christian's gaze followed Talia as she stared at the coffee table, lost in thought. He couldn't resist asking, "What's wrong? Don't like the coffee table?"Talia snapped out of her daze. Her eyes gradually brightened as she raised her head to reply, "No, I do."How could she not like it? After all, she had picked it out herself.It was just that now, everything on it didn't belong to her.Christian didn't press her further. Instead, he said, "I'll go upstairs and make your bed."Talia hurriedly responded, "I'll just sleep in the guest room."Christian halted in his tracks. Looking down into her eyes, he countered wi

As soon as Christian stepped out of the kitchen, his phone rang. It was a call from Lionel."Mr. Lane, you've been absent from the office for several days now. There are many documents waiting for your review and signature, and several clients have been pressing for updates."Christian replied, "Got it."It seemed he could no longer put off going to work.After hanging up, he headed upstairs once more. He reached the door to the guest room and knocked softly. "Talia, may I come in?"Inside, Talia was lost in thought. Only when she heard Christian's voice did she finally respond, "Come in."After pushing the door open, Christian sat on the edge of the bed and took Talia's hand in his. He then said reluctantly, "I have to head to the office in a bit. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for lunch with you."Talia was more than happy to see him go, but she kept her expression perfectly blank. She just nodded and replied, "Okay."Christian gazed at her, and Talia met his eyes. The tw

Jennifer wrapped her arms around Nancy and coaxed her gently. "Sweetheart, it's not that big of a deal. As long as you don't mind that Christian's filthy, then whoever he sleeps with doesn't matter."He sleeps with whoever he wants. You just don't make a fuss, and definitely don't go begging him with your dignity in the gutter. Just be generous and tolerant."Men are all like that—cheap. They like women who don't care about them. Only when you stop taking him seriously will he come sniffing back around."After listening, Nancy nodded somewhat belatedly and asked tentatively, "Like how I am with Julian and Christian?"Jennifer nodded. "Exactly."Nancy suddenly understood, but in that moment, she couldn't help worrying that Christian would change his mind and go back to Talia.Jennifer could tell that Nancy still cared about Christian. If she didn't care, she wouldn't be crying like this.Although Nancy was surrounded by many men, she actually looked down on most of them. She just

As Christian stepped aside, Talia's small figure came into view. William sat at the head of the table with Julian beside him, while the others were scattered around.Everyone looked past Christian. William's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Talia, while Julian's entire expression turned cold the moment he saw her.Christian paid no attention to the looks around them. He took the gift box from Talia's hand and passed it to William. "My wife got this for you. Happy birthday."Beside him, Talia added, "Mr. Baxter, happy birthday."Among this group, William was the only one who had been decent to Talia. So wishing him a happy birthday was no trouble at all.William accepted the gift box, his voice somewhat shaky. "Thank you, Talia."A confused voice piped up nearby. "I thought that Ms. York was your wife."Christian looked over calmly and explained, "No. It has always been the woman beside me."William set the gift box on a side table, then glanced over at Julian. Ever sin

Julian had thrown the wine glass with real force.When Christian blocked the glass, Julian said anxiously, "Chris, why'd you..."Before he could finish speaking, Christian pulled Talia protectively into his arms. He turned a glacial stare on Julian. "Get out."Julian's lips trembled. He couldn't believe those words had just come from Christian's mouth.After a stunned moment, Julian shouted, "Fine! I'm leaving, Chris. Just don't regret this."Seeing Julian grab his coat and head for the door, William quickly stood and grabbed his arm. "Julian, what are you doing?"Julian turned back and glared at William furiously. "He told me to get out. What else am I supposed to do?"William frowned. "Stop being dramatic. Chris didn't mean it like that."Julian wrenched his arm free. "That's exactly what he meant."Then he added, "He's the one losing it, not me."With that, Julian stormed out of the private room. William moved to chase after him, but Christian, still holding Talia, spoke u
