Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 671 - Bab 680

That night, after they returned to the hotel, Christian noticed Nancy hadn't been sleeping well lately, so he didn't ask her to stay with Yvonne.Nancy offered several times, insisting she could help Yvonne wash up.In the end, though, she couldn't change Christian's mind.After taking Yvonne back to the room, Christian filled the tub and let her bathe on her own.When she came out in her pajamas, she climbed straight onto Christian's bed.Curled in the crook of his arm, she asked in her soft voice, "Daddy, am I going to be your only child?"Christian set down the business magazine in his hand and turned to look at her. "Why do you ask?""Answer me first," she said.He thought for a moment. "Yeah."If he didn't proceed with the divorce from Talia, he would have another child. But if they did split, he didn't want Yvonne to grow up with a half-brother or half-sister.After hearing his answer, Yvonne asked again, "What about Nancy? Isn't she going to have babies for you?""If

Talia had waited far too long for this divorce. She couldn't bear the thought of everything falling apart at the last second.Even if she had to lower herself and beg, she didn't care.As long as she could end this marriage, nothing else mattered."Okay," Christian said on the phone.Talia swallowed her anger and forced herself to stay calm.When he said he would try to make it back, she let out a quiet breath of relief.It was still early. The drive from Terrawich to Jarrowind took just four hours.If Christian started driving now, he could still make it that afternoon.After hanging up, Talia watched the steady stream of people moving through the courthouse lobby.Young couples walked in, smiling, eager to register their marriages. Others posed for photos, marking the moment with ceremony and excitement. There were also married couples arguing bitterly as they waited to file for divorce.Inside the vast courthouse, Talia saw all kinds of scenes and heard all sorts of sounds

When Talia heard the others expressing their concern, she rubbed her red nose and shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm fine."Even though she said that, the ladies still looked worried.Only Monica's gaze grew complicated.That year, there had been a car accident on the bridge. As a medical student, she heard someone crying and shouting, "Is there a doctor? Please help! Please, I'm begging you!"At first, Monica didn't want to get involved. But hearing the desperate pleas made her heart soften.She put on a mask, got out of the car, and walked into the crowd.After kneeling to assess the injured man's condition, she began performing CPR.His face was covered in blood, so she could only vaguely make out his features, but not what he really looked like.Judging from his build and the quality of his coat, she guessed that he was from a wealthy family.Back then, Monica didn't think much about it. She only wanted to save him.Then, as she worked, the man regained consciousness.Hi

Christian bent down, his face hidden in the dim light. Talia tilted her head up, her features clearly illuminated by the streetlights.Hearing her repeatedly call Quentin's name made Christian extremely displeased. His eyes narrowed, dark and icy.Seeing Talia's tear-streaked face only made him angrier. Suddenly, he grabbed her chin.His fingers pressed hard, deliberately tightening as if he wanted to crush her jaw. Even as she winced in pain, he refused to let go.Unable to bear the sharp agony, she raised her hand and slapped at his arm. "Quentin, let go. You're hurting me."Hearing her call that name again, Christian leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Talia, look at me carefully. Who am I?"He looked furious, like a beast ready to devour something whole.Even though Talia was drunk, her eyes were moist as she looked at Christian. They were filled with deep panic and helplessness.Christian had no desire to argue with a drunk woman. He pulled her hand away, shut the car do

Talia almost instinctively opened WhatsApp when she saw that the message was from Quentin.After opening the chat, she saw that he hadn't asked why she had given Monica his number. Instead, he simply sent, "Where are you?"Talia stared at the message but didn't intend to reply.After all, Quentin's kindness toward her had stemmed from the fact that Monica had saved him.But even now, he didn't know that the one who had truly saved him wasn't her, but Monica.Thinking about this made Talia not want to reply to him.But after some thought, she thought that Quentin had the right to know the truth.So in the end, she replied, "Let's meet later."Quentin's reply came quickly. "Missing me already?"Talia was long used to his carefree, teasing tone, but at this moment, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her chest.She simply replied, "I have something to tell you."Quentin wrote. "Alright. Come find me then."Talia texted back. "I'll be there around 10:00 am."She thought it w
