All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 581 - Chapter 590

Christian stood, still holding Yvonne's hand, and repositioned the umbrella over Talia's head. His voice came out hoarse as he said, "It's over. She's safe."Talia looked at him. The resentment in her eyes hadn't diminished one bit despite finding Yvonne safe. She said nothing, choosing silence instead.Lionel arrived shortly after. Seeing that Yvonne had been found, he finally allowed himself to relax. After a moment's consideration, he walked over to Christian."Mr. Lane," Lionel greeted him respectfully.Yvonne stood beside Christian, holding his hand. Talia remained under the umbrella, her gaze unconsciously searching for Quentin.He stood beneath a tree, watching them. Across the rain-soaked street, their gazes locked.Quentin wore a smile tinged with pride. She knew exactly what he was thinking. He wanted credit for finding Yvonne.Beside her, Christian was saying something to Lionel, but Talia didn't catch a single word. She only vaguely sensed their conversation was comi

By the time Christian carried Yvonne into the bedroom, she had woken up. She still rested against his shoulder as Talia followed behind them. When Yvonne opened her eyes and saw her mother, Talia smiled gently. "Let's get you cleaned up before bed, okay?"Yvonne was still groggy from sleep. Seeing Talia here at Jubilee Manor threw her off. She wasn't sure whether to acknowledge Talia.But then the memories came flooding back, and Yvonne nodded. "Okay."After Christian set Yvonne down, Talia steadied her daughter. Yvonne's clothes were filthy, so Talia planned to undress her before the bath.Christian hadn't left the room yet, so Talia turned to face him and said, "She's getting older now. You should probably step out while I help her change."Realization crossed Christian's face. "You're right. I'll go."The thought hit him suddenly. Yvonne was still too young to understand these boundaries on her own. He needed to help her learn them.In that moment, Christian realized Talia wa

The moment Nancy appeared, Talia became invisible, reduced to just another stranger on the street. Yet before Nancy had arrived, Yvonne had been so sweet with her.The realization stung. Talia turned on the faucet and washed her hands, then walked out of the bathroom.Nancy and Yvonne sat together on the couch, talking about the afternoon's events. Yvonne had completely forgotten about her mother.When Talia emerged from the bathroom, Yvonne froze for a moment. Nancy also looked at her, her eyes full of wariness and suspicion.But Talia didn't spare either of them a glance. She walked straight out of the bedroom. The second she left, laughter and chatter erupted behind her.Talia stopped just outside the door, her back against the wall. Her composure was barely holding.Then Christian stepped out of the adjacent room. He stood in the doorway, concern etched on his face. "Are you alright?"Talia looked up at him briefly but said nothing. He took in her exhausted expression and th

It was Wednesday, which meant that Yvonne had school. She had already missed several days because of her fever.Christian finished catching up on the morning news downstairs before heading up to knock on Talia's door. He knocked three times and waited.Talia's cautious voice came from inside. "Who is it?""It's me," Christian replied.Talia frowned. "What do you need?""Yvonne has school today. I thought we could take her together."Talia considered it, then agreed. "Alright."Christian remained outside her door. "Emma's already made breakfast. You should get ready.""Okay."Shortly after Christian went back downstairs, Talia followed. That day, she wore a light gray coat over jeans and a white turtleneck. A delicate necklace hung over the sweater, and her shoes matched the coat perfectly.She'd taken care with her appearance. Her freshly washed hair smelled faintly of shampoo, the scent trailing after her as she moved.She had applied foundation, filled in her brows, and ad

After Talia and Christian left Jubilee Manor, Christian opened the passenger door for her.Once they were driving, Talia tried to suppress the frustration building inside her. But eventually, she couldn't hold it in anymore.At a red light, she turned and glared at him. "Yvonne was faking that stomachache."Christian frowned and glanced at her. "Didn't you say she has lymph node issues? That the pain is real?""Yes, that's true. But just now she was faking it."Her tone left no room for doubt.Christian pushed back. "But what if she wasn't?"Talia's expression hardened. "There's no 'what if'. Her stomach pain has been real before, I'll give you that. But what happened this morning was absolutely an act."After a long pause, Christian sighed. "Just let it go."Talia stared at him, incredulous. "If you keep letting her get away with this, she'll never want to go to school."Christian's patience was wearing thin. "Then what do you want me to do?""She needs to apologize for wha
