บททั้งหมดของ When She Turns Her Back: บทที่ 601 - บทที่ 610

Quentin's kiss was possessive, yet unexpectedly gentle.He knew exactly how to kiss. Within moments, Talia's entire body went weak.She meant to push him away, but there was no strength left in her.All she could do was let him take her breath from her, bit by bit, until the air in her lungs was gone.Supporting Talia's limp body, Quentin reached out to undo the buttons of her shirt. But after unfastening only a single one, he suddenly went still.He lowered his gaze and studied her flushed, overheated face—made red and warm by his kiss. His heart was racing, his desire surging uncontrollably.He wanted her then and there.But the thought that she wasn't divorced yet forced him to rein himself in.This wasn't the first time Quentin had stopped himself for her sake. His body was on the verge of exploding, but for her reputation, he chose restraint.Talia's mind was a blur.Quentin lifted her slightly and whispered hoarsely in her ear. "I'm sorry. I can't have you yet."His wo

Talia hurried upstairs from the underground parking lot. A sheen of sweat clung to her skin. Even though it was winter, she felt sticky all over.As she reached the store she had just been in, she heard Christian's voice. He was asking the sales associate, "Where's my wife?"The staff exchanged a few quick glances.Then, a woman who looked like a manager stepped forward and explained, "Sir, she went to the restroom."The lady said that with a completely straight face, without a moment's hesitation.Talia stood right at the door and heard the reply clearly.Christian frowned and asked in a firm, authoritative tone, "Really?"Before the lady could answer, Talia stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"Her eyes were full of doubt as she looked at Christian.Christian smiled faintly upon seeing her and replied, "I was worried you might be tired, so I came to pick you up."Talia looked at him and said calmly, "I'm done shopping. Let's go."There were clothes she liked in th

Inside the car, after Henry spoke, a heavy silence settled over them.Talia turned to look at the bustling crowd outside the window. She thought about Henry's words and then about Christian.Christian had indeed changed a lot lately. He had been doing things he never would have before.Talia had once wished he would change, but now his changes felt like a burden to her.When Talia remained silent and looked weighed down by her thoughts, Henry asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"Only then did Talia come back to her senses and answer his earlier question, "Maybe, but it doesn't matter anymore."Henry understood what she meant. He pressed his lips together but couldn't bring himself to feel happy.He could see clearly that Talia no longer cared about Christian, but now there was Quentin to worry about.Henry was afraid. He wasn't as important as Christian, nor could he match Quentin's relentless persistence. All he had was his courage and gentleness.What if those weren't what Talia

When Nancy thought about Talia taking the standardized exam, she felt deeply unsettled.She had heard long ago that Talia had been a top student. It was only after getting married that Talia had stepped away from the medical field. Now she wanted to resume her studies.Even though Nancy was already a graduate student, she still feared that Talia might outshine her.Because of that, a malicious thought took root in her mind. She didn't want Talia to do well.Consumed by these thoughts, Nancy could barely sleep all night.Early the next morning, while it was still dark outside, she went to Christian's room.The moment she heard the guest room door open, Nancy pulled Christian's door open.She was dressed provocatively, wearing a red silk robe. Paired with her messy hair and flushed cheeks, she looked alluring in a way that left little to the imagination.Talia didn't need to be told what had happened last night. She glanced at Nancy once, then turned and headed downstairs.When

Henry's words caught Talia off guard. The air in the room suddenly seemed to freeze.After a brief silence, Talia smiled and said to Henry and Monica, "Let's eat. The dishes look really good. They must be delicious."Talia chose to ignore Henry's advances. Some things that were said too bluntly would only make things more awkward.Henry naturally didn't push further. He picked up the serving spoon and attentively helped Talia with some food.When it came to Monica, Henry simply turned to her and said, "Monica, the food here is really good. You should try some."As an outsider, Monica quickly grasped the situation—Henry had feelings for Talia.Monica had a crush on Henry for years, but he was so outstanding that he never lacked female attention. The fact that he remained single meant either that he had different preferences or that he had someone in his heart.Monica never knew who that person was, but Henry's care and attentiveness toward Talia that night made everything clear t
