Alle Kapitel von When She Turns Her Back: Kapitel 691 – Kapitel 700

Talia looked at Shawn's pleased expression. "I'll do my best."Shawn checked his watch before turning back to her. "It's getting late. I should head to class."He started walking toward the academic building. Suddenly, Shawn turned back around. "Once the exam results are released, come see me right away. I'll have you start participating in some smaller research projects."Talia felt genuinely grateful. "Thank you for giving me these opportunities, Professor."Just as Talia was about to wave goodbye, Shawn turned back again. "Actually, why don't we have lunch together? Henry will be joining us, too."Before she could think of refusing, Shawn added, "Come with me to the classroom. You can get some early exposure to the material. When I'm done teaching, we'll leave together."Talia realized that she couldn't refuse. "Okay."When Shawn finished his two classes, it was already noon. Once he packed up his laptop, the two of them left campus together.Henry's car was already waiting

When Quentin asked the question, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Monica's face, as though he could see straight through her. His oppressive gaze made Monica shiver.She didn't dare tell the truth. When she had saved Quentin all those years ago, she'd been terrified of bringing trouble on herself. She'd lived in constant anxiety until her life finally settled back into normalcy.Back then, all she wanted was for Quentin not to cause her any problems. How could she have known that he'd take those marriage promises to heart all this time?When Monica didn't answer for a long while, Quentin narrowed his eyes and pressed harder. "What's wrong? Can't answer?"His voice carried more weight this time, sharper. Hearing the low, accusatory tone, Monica panicked. "I… I was frantic back then. I accidentally... I just said the wrong name."Quentin straightened himself, a faint smile playing at his lips. He leaned back casually. His posture looked lazy and careless, but he kept his eyes on Monic

The meal ended quickly. Shawn rushed through his food, worried about delaying Henry and Talia's outing.As soon as he finished, Shawn stood abruptly. "Come on, let's go to my office."He grabbed his coat and headed straight for the exit. Talia and Henry exchanged a glance before following helplessly behind him.To leave the restaurant, they had to pass Quentin's table. As they walked by, Talia looked at Monica, and Monica looked back at her. However, neither greeted the other.Talia stayed quiet to give Quentin and Monica their time together. Monica stayed quiet because envy had taken root inside her, and she simply didn't want to acknowledge them.As they passed, Talia saw Monica lean forward and serve Quentin from one of the shared dishes, placing food onto his plate with obvious care.Quentin didn't refuse. He just stared down at the plate without any reaction.When he sensed Talia walking past, he instinctively looked up, but she had already hurried after Shawn. He didn't ev

Yvonne pretended not to care as she sat on the couch. She watched TV for a while, then played with her toys for a bit. When she got tired, she went out to the small garden with Emma.She stayed downstairs waiting from around 6:00 pm until nearly 9:00 pm. Almost three hours passed, and Talia still hadn't come home.As much as Yvonne tried not to dwell on it, the reality of the situation stared her in the face. Talia wasn't coming back.Emma warmed some milk in the kitchen. When she brought the cup out, she said quietly, "Ms. Yvonne, drink some milk and head upstairs to rest. It's getting late."Yvonne glanced toward the entrance hall. There was still no sign of Talia. A sharp ache spread through her chest.For the first time in so long, she truly felt like Talia didn't care about her anymore. Before, whenever she cried or threw a tantrum, Talia would always rush home to be with her.But not anymore. Even with Yvonne crying and saying she missed her, Talia wouldn't come back.Yvon

Christian's words left William silent.After a long while, William finally looked at Christian with bloodshot eyes. "I've never thought that she wasn't good enough for me. She's wonderful. What happened to her wasn't her fault."Christian didn't pass judgment. He simply told William, "When you sober up tomorrow, I'll have someone introduce you to a few women."Spend time with them. There are many women in the world. Your life doesn't end just because she's not in it."Hearing Christian say this, William's expression turned cold and incredulous. "Chris, I'm not as heartless as you are."Christian's voice hardened. "William, wake up. You're not short of excellent people around you. There's no need to waste yourself on someone like..."He didn't finish the sentence, but William understood perfectly what Christian meant to say.Anger flared inside him. He stood abruptly and shouted at Christian, "We're not the same. I actually have a heart."Your wife has been with you for years, a
