บททั้งหมดของ When She Turns Her Back: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Talia had most likely sprained her ankle since she couldn't get back on her feet for a long time. She looked back to the person who came to help her and was startled to find that it was Henry.Her eyes instantly welled with tears, her nose stinging as they spilled the moment she lowered her head. "Why are you still here, Henry?"Henry kneeled beside Talia, smiled, and asked, "Why on earth would you give me a bank card out of nowhere?"Talia kept her head lowered, her voice filled with remorse. "It's because of me that you—"Henry cut her off mid-sentence, saying, "I know."Upon hearing that, Talia looked up at Henry, her expression a mix of surprise and confusion. "You…"Henry, maintaining his smile, said calmly, "I've never been afraid of anything."Henry actually had a pretty good idea who was behind it from the moment Robert told him that he was fired. He knew that the only person who could bring his medical career to a grinding halt was probably Christian. He then considered

Talia returned to work after tending to her injury that afternoon.That evening, after work, Henry drove Talia back to the Stewart residence.Talia reached for the car door, but Henry had already gotten out of the car. He opened the car door for her, offered her his hand, and said, "I'll give you a piggyback ride.""It's really not necessary, Henry. I'm perfectly capable of returning on my own," Talia said, her face flushed with embarrassment as she declined Henry's offer.Henry, still unconvinced, said, "I mean, we're already at the entrance, so it's not a big deal to see you all the way inside. If you get hurt on the way because I didn't get you home safely, your parents will surely blame me for it. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to be on their bad side, right, Talia?"Henry's remark was clearly a jest, and Talia knew he meant well. He had gone as far as to bring up Hector and Madeline, so she had no choice but to relent. Thus, she offered him her hand, saying, "I'll be troubling

Talia was relieved that the phone rang when it did. She had no idea what Henry was going to say, but she had a hunch about what was on his mind. They might have been former classmates, but she knew that someone who defended her without a second thought had to have an ulterior motive. Still, she thought that some things were better left unsaid at that moment.She glanced at her phone screen and noticed that it was a call from Ryan. She didn't pick it up, as Henry's designated driver had just pulled up. "You should head back now. You should also text me once you reach home, Henry." Henry glanced at Talia, wanting to speak. However, he held back, realizing that it wasn't the moment to do so. He ultimately kept the words he had on the tip of his tongue to himself. He had never forgotten the moment he fell for Talia, even after all these years. He simply said once he got into the car, "You should head back inside and get some rest, Talia."Talia nodded in assent, saying, "Got it. You

Ten days after leaving for town, Talia came across Henry that evening.In the town, the air was fresh and clean. It was the tail of summer; the days were still scorching, but as evening came, the heat subsided. It was the perfect time for a stroll along the town's river, where the gurgling water, drifting ducks, and children splashing created a peaceful scene.A group of people also danced enthusiastically to lively music by the riverbank. In the end, this mix of sounds created the lively atmosphere the town was known for.Fiery clouds streaked the horizon, bathing half the sky in crimson, as the final beam of the setting sun hit the treetops, casting a golden glow all around.In the midst of the cheerful shouts of children splashing in the water, Talia spotted Henry dressed in casual clothes, wearing a crisp white shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. Henry stood in the bustling crowd, his gaze piercing through the throng as he looked at Talia.Talia was comp

Julian received the video while Christian and William sat across the table, deep in discussion about a project. He finished watching the video, then looked up at Christian with a look of surprise on his face.Christian, sensing his gaze, looked over at him and asked, "What's the matter?"Julian got up and took a seat right between Christian and William. He then immediately showed the video on his phone to Christian.He couldn't help but furrow his brow as Christian watched the video and asked, "Did you fail to satisfy Talia during the deed, Chris? Is that why she needs two men to get what she wants?"Christian's face remained impassive after watching the video, though his mind was already in turmoil. Julian's remarks only made him recall his sex life with Talia. Their physical relationship wasn't so much "unharmonious" as it was brief. He only ever did it with her for no more than three minutes each time, after all.It wasn't that he couldn't perform; he just wanted to get it over
