Lahat ng Kabanata ng When She Turns Her Back: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Back at the Stewart residence, everyone had delayed dinnertime because Talia hadn't returned yet.The family sat around the dining table in harmony. Maeve sat between Talia and Paige, with both of them serving her food. She was beaming from ear to ear."Mom, Aunt Talia, tomorrow is the fall festival performance! I'm so excited and nervous!"Maeve licked her fingers, looking both thrilled and anxious. Talia smiled faintly, but her heart felt heavy.Paige spoke gently to Maeve. "Tomorrow, Aunt Talia and I will both be there. Don't be afraid. Just perform as you normally would. It would be great if you could get a gold star sticker award, but even if you don't, you're still the best to us."Maeve giggled, her heart full of anticipation. As if remembering something, she turned to look at Talia with concern. "Aunt Talia, will you really be okay for tomorrow?"This wasn't the first time Maeve had asked Talia this question. She and Yvonne attended the same kindergarten, and Talia wasn't

Nancy's piano piece was indeed beautiful, and her elegant dress was certainly stunning and impressive. But that day was a kindergarten event, and the children were supposed to be the stars.Yvonne's steps faltered to the melody, and her dancing became awkward. The audience began to murmur again."This mom is certainly dazzling, but how can she steal all the attention for herself? Today is supposed to be the children's big day, but she's drawing all the focus to herself.""Exactly! The kid is struggling up there, and she doesn't even know how to stop. You would think that it was a talent show for the parents, not the kids.""Look, the kid has stopped dancing, but her mother is still playing.""This kid isn't much of a dancer either. Why is she putting on such a show? Just singing a simple song would have been better than this mess.""She probably just wanted to show off her mom's talent, but it backfired instead.""That's true. The kid is now just standing there like a wooden pos

Nancy hung up the phone and turned to see Talia walking over with a worried expression, calling Yvonne's name.At that moment, Nancy's finger was still bleeding from her broken nail. Even though it hurt, she couldn't think about her injury. Yvonne was missing, and she couldn't face Christian empty-handed.Seeing Talia approach, Nancy called out, "Ms. Stewart."Talia looked at her coldly and asked, "Where is Yvonne?"Nancy pointed in a direction. "She should have gone that way."Without saying a single word, Talia walked around Nancy and went after her. The school activities continued. Maeve was worried about Talia, so she had Paige go help look for Yvonne, too.Talia searched every classroom but didn't see any sign of Yvonne. Finally, she headed to the restroom. Just as she was about to enter, she ran into Christian coming out carrying Yvonne.Yvonne had clearly been crying. She was lying against Christian's shoulder, her body still shaking with sobs. Christian's large hand rubb

In the black Rolls-Royce, Christian and Yvonne both sat in the back seat. Yvonne cried for a long time before finally stopping, but she was still sniffling.After waiting a while, Nancy came out of the kindergarten. Christian stepped out and opened the car door for her as usual.Nancy was feeling grateful. Her eyes were red as she said, "Chris, thank you."Christian managed a weak smile, then walked around the car and got in. Yvonne sat in the middle, with Christian and Nancy on either side of her.Nancy's injured finger wasn't bandaged. She had wrapped it in layers of tissue to barely stop the bleeding. However, she didn't complain about the pain. Instead, after getting in the car, she began apologizing to Yvonne."Yvonne, I didn't think things through properly. I caused you to be criticized by those people. It's my fault."Yvonne's eyes reddened again. She threw herself into Nancy's arms. "Nancy, what happened today wasn't your fault. I didn't dance well, which caused those peo

Having finished her work at noon the following day, Talia headed to a barbecue restaurant nearby. She was accustomed to her own company and had always preferred to do things on her own.Upon entering the restaurant, Talia was greeted by one of the waiters, asking, "Is it just going to be a table for one, miss?"Talia hummed in assent, adding, "I'd like a seat by the window."Having said that, she turned toward the window seats and, to her surprise, saw Robert rising from a table by the window, with another man still seated there. She instantly recognized that it was Henry, despite only seeing the back of his head.She had no idea what they had discussed, but when Robert left, his face was completely devoid of a smile. She avoided greeting Robert, choosing instead to keep a low profile and wait for him to leave before pointing to Henry's table, saying, "I'll take that seat over there."Having said that, she walked straight toward Henry. She then took a seat across from him, noticin
