Lahat ng Kabanata ng When She Turns Her Back: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Quentin had always been so uninhibited. He would flirt with anyone, even with a married woman who had a child like Talia. He was the type who probably couldn't help but whistle at any woman who walked past him.So, how could the words of a person like him be trusted?Yet, regardless of his character, the fact remained that Quentin had genuinely helped Talia before this. She could never bring herself to forget the debt of gratitude she owed him.She huddled into the corner as Quentin loomed over her. He was a good-looking man, but he was a complete scoundrel. She thought that perhaps the best way to deal with him was to simply ignore him, so she closed her eyes and pretended not to hear him.At that moment, the town's dim streetlights cast a faint glow through the car window, illuminating Talia's flawless face. She closed her eyes as her thick, dark eyelashes trembled slightly, betraying her fear.Quentin gazed at Talia, a gentle smile suddenly spreading across his face. He raised

Hearing Talia's softened tone, Christian dropped his prickly attitude as well. He said gently, "I need you to come here tomorrow since there's something I want to discuss with you.""You can just say what you need to say over the phone," Talia stated firmly. She leaned against the headboard, not wanting to see Christian's face or let him see hers. She thought they didn't need to meet unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, he didn't like her, and she didn't want to be with him anymore.Christian suddenly said, "It concerns Yvonne."However, she remained completely indifferent, saying, "I've told you before that I'm stepping back from Yvonne's life, Christian. You don't need to involve me unless it's something important. You can just make the decisions for her yourself." He refused to believe that she could truly be so indifferent toward Yvonne once he brought her up. He was completely caught off guard by her indifference, rendering him speechless. "Y-You…"Just then, Talia

Christian stepped out of the Stewart residence and got into his Rolls-Royce. He propped his arm on the windowsill, savoring the subtle heat of the night air as he lit a cigarette. He then took a long drag, and through the curling smoke, he narrowed his eyes, which carried a sharp and dangerous gleam.He suddenly recalled the video Julian had shown him. He angrily extinguished his cigarette. He then grabbed his phone and redialed Talia's number, only for the call to connect and go unanswered.His patience had finally reached its limit. His frustration was about to boil over when a thought suddenly occurred to him—Julian had been the one to show him the video. He immediately hung up and called Julian instead."What's up, Chris?" Julian answered the call almost immediately, with loud music playing in the background.Christian asked, "Where are you?"Having received the address from Julian, Christian simply said, "I'll head over there now."He arrived at the location Julian had provi

Talia held Julian's gaze, her eyes unwavering. She asked, "What's so different about it, then?"Julian was at a loss for words, so he remained silent.Talia, however, didn't back down. She pointedly asked, "Did you ever stop to think that Christian was my husband when he was smiling at Nancy and parading her around to everyone?"Julian was stumped. "You're just being unreasonable now!"Talia chuckled wryly and asked, "What's the matter? You're suddenly changing your words now that you've changed your stance, huh?"Just then, Christian, who had been silently taking it all in from the doorway, finally barked, "That's enough!"Julian grudgingly took a couple of steps back after hearing that. Talia, on the other hand, fixed her gaze on Christian, whose face betrayed no emotion as he approached them deliberately. She remained standing in front of Henry and asked, "What do you intend to do?"Christian remained silent, simply closing the distance with slow, deliberate steps. His very

Upon returning to Jarrowind, Henry dropped Talia off at the Stewart residence.Hector and Madeline wanted Henry to stay for supper, but Talia turned them down, saying, "Henry needs to head back and get some rest, too. It's already so late, so we shouldn't disturb him any longer."Henry knew that Christian's threats were the reason for Talia's hasty return, and he also recognized that she needed to speak with her parents alone. Thus, he tactfully excused himself, saying, "I'll come visit another time, Hector and Madeline."Hector and Madeline didn't insist. They simply smiled as they watched Henry drive off. …Talia woke up early the following morning, planning to take the opportunity during breakfast to check in with her family. Yet, when she got to the dining room, she found that Paige and Garrett had already left. Thus, with no one to talk to, she simply headed to the hospital to report for duty.Talia was the first one to return to the Stewart residence after finishing work f
