When She Turns Her Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Shawn rarely used the word "please" with anyone, but after Talia finished answering the question, he used it with her. He didn't even mind that she wasn't one of his students. Shawn appreciated talent wherever he found it.After Talia's moment in the spotlight, Nancy's anger kept rising. It wasn't just envy, but jealousy.Nancy had worked hard to become one of Shawn's PhD students, yet she had never received praise from him. If anything, she mostly got criticism. But Talia, who was attending his class for the first time, had earned his praise.Thinking about this made Nancy even more frustrated and upset. She refused to be outdone by Talia.However, after thinking it over, Nancy realized that Talia had stopped her education after medical school. So, the latter didn't even have the qualifications to compete with her. Besides, she figured that one compliment didn't mean much.Moreover, Henry had discussed the problem with Talia just before. So Nancy reckoned that those answers must

Talia's righteous attitude made Christian even angrier. She was the mother, yet she wouldn't attend Yvonne's kindergarten activities. And now, it seemed that she wanted to dump the responsibility of disciplining their child on him, too.Christian's dissatisfaction with Talia continued to grow. Before, she used to handle everything personally, taking meticulous care of Yvonne. But now, she didn't even want to deal with their child anymore."Chris." Just as his anger was building, Nancy's voice sounded from behind him. Her gentle call soothed some of the fury in Christian's heart."Are you done?" Christian looked toward Nancy, the cold glint in his eyes softening with a hint of tenderness.Nancy walked over and naturally stood beside him. She replied, "Yes, I'm done."She noticed how upset he looked, so she softly asked, "What happened? Did you argue with Ms. Stewart?"Christian didn't want to elaborate. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing. We should go pick up Yvonne."Once

In the past, Talia would think that it was the end of the world whenever Christian got angry. But now, she didn't think it was anything special.So what if he was angry? The angrier he was, the calmer Talia grew.She replied over the phone, "I used to not be able to tell what was important, but now I can."After saying this, worried that Christian might read too much into it, she added, "I need to go back and take care of my family."Christian gripped his phone tightly. The yellow light from the streetlamps shone through the car window onto his face. He looked grim as his entire body radiated anger.Talia could hear from his breathing that he was furious, but she didn't care. She simply said, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."At that moment, Christian suddenly snarled through gritted teeth, "Talia, do you know what you're saying?"Talia replied, "Of course I do."With that, she didn't give Christian another chance to speak and hung up the call. Looking at his darkened

Talia still returned to Elmwood Estate on her supposed agreed day with Christian. She wasn't doing it for any other reason. She just wanted to get justice for Henry, as she believed that a perfectly good medical genius shouldn't be tarnished because of her.When she arrived at Elmwood Estate, Christian hadn't come home yet. Jane felt delighted to see Talia, who hadn't returned in two consecutive months. "Mrs. Lane, you're finally back."Talia just smiled faintly. "Yeah."Jane said, "Mrs. Lane, I bought lots of fresh ingredients. Would you like to make dinner?"It was still early enough to prepare dinner. Christian had been coming home regularly these past two months. Since Talia and Christian's relationship was strained, Jane hinted that Talia should cook something nice for him.Talia understood Jane's meaning. She just smiled and said, "Jane, you go ahead and cook. You know my dietary restrictions and preferences."Jane was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised. "Mrs. Lane, yo

Talia's words left Christian momentarily stunned, causing his grip on her throat to loosen somewhat. As soon as she could breathe again, Talia gasped for air, and the color slowly returned to her face.Christian released her and straightened up slightly. He stepped back from her. As he stood in the bright light, he no longer held the charm that once captivated Talia.Talia coughed twice and looked at Christian with anger. "Christian, you've just personally destroyed someone who valued you more than her own life."Talia did hate him. She hated his indifference, his coldness, his affairs, and his selfish arrogance.But now, she felt even more regret. She regretted falling in love with Christian and how she had willingly sacrificed everything for him.Christian turned his back to her, showing only his silhouette. "Do you think I care about your feelings for me?"Talia smiled bitterly. "I know you don't."He had never cared from the beginning. All he ever cared about was Nancy.Tal
