All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 931 - Chapter 940

By the time Christian pulled up to the hospital, his eyes were bloodshot and dark, his expression severe enough to make anyone flinch.Emma was pacing back and forth outside the treatment room. The moment she saw him coming down the corridor, she rushed forward. "Sir, thank goodness you're here."Christian looked at her. "Where is Yvonne? How is she?"Emma gestured toward the room behind her. "They took her inside. We don't know anything yet."Christian walked up to the treatment room door and tried to peer through, but he couldn't see anything.Then a quiet voice came from behind him. "Chris."He turned and found Nancy standing there in her pajamas, her hair loose around her shoulders, her face bare without a trace of makeup. The dark circles under her eyes made it obvious that she hadn't been sleeping well.Seeing her stripped of her usual polished appearance gave him a moment of pause, but he quickly looked away.He didn't acknowledge her. Whether his anger was about the kis

Christian walked into Jubilee Manor without saying a single word and went straight upstairs.In the study, he swept his arm across the desk in one violent motion, sending every document scattering to the floor. Among the mess of papers, one stood out clearly—the divorce agreement.He stared at it for a moment, then bent down and picked it up almost involuntarily.Holding it in his hands, the weight of it finally felt real. When Talia first brought up divorce, he'd thought that she was bluffing. But looking back now, he figured that she must have been planning to leave him long before that.He flipped it open and read every line carefully, word by word. When he finished, he let out a hollow laugh.Talia, who once loved Yvonne more than anything, had been willing to give up custody just to be free of him.He tore the agreement to shreds, then flung the pieces into the air. They scattered everywhere, landing on the floor, the desk, his shoulders, his hair. He checked his spare phone

Before Talia could dwell on the acceptance letter any longer, her phone rang. She glanced down and saw Cecilia's name on the screen.Since filing for divorce from Christian, Talia had barely been in touch with anyone from the Lane family. Out of all of them, Cecilia was the only one who had ever truly treated her like family, and Talia still remembered that clearly. So she picked it up.Cecilia's voice came through bright and eager. "Talia! It's my birthday today. Are you free tonight? Let's grab dinner together."Talia suspected that the rest of the Lanes would be there, so she turned it down. "Cecilia, I'm not feeling that great. I think I'll have to pass."Cecilia's tone shifted to pleading. "Talia, please. I'm begging you."Talia wavered, but the thought of how awkward the evening could get made her hold firm. "I really can't make it."However, Cecilia refused to give up. "Come on, please? If you don't come, this birthday won't mean anything to me."Talia opened her mouth

Talia gave a slight nod. "I'll wait a little longer."Cecilia reached behind her and produced a bottle of vodka. She gave it a playful shake. "Chris, Talia, Connor. It's just the four of us tonight. How about a drink?"Talia didn't respond right away. She waited for Christian and Connor to weigh in first. She figured that even though that night was Cecilia's birthday, neither of them actually wanted to be sitting at the same table as her. They'd probably turn it down.But before the thought had even fully formed, Christian spoke up. "Sure."There wasn't a shred of hesitation in his voice. If anything, there was a hint of something almost cheerful underneath it.Talia blinked in surprise and turned to look at him. He was already looking at her, and the smile in his eyes was unreadable, the kind that made her pulse quicken for reasons she couldn't explain.With Christian on board, Cecilia jumped up and said, "I'll get the glasses."She popped her head out the door and called to a

Christian stood by the table. His gaze flicked briefly to Quentin before settling on Talia's face.The look in his eyes was raw with hurt. "Who are you leaving with?"He was forcing her to choose. Talia swayed on her feet and gripped the back of a chair to steady herself. Her cheeks, her neck, and her eyes were all flushed red.She stared at Christian for a long moment, then slowly turned to look at Quentin.Quentin didn't reach for her. He wanted to let her decide on her own. When her gaze landed on him, his hand twitched forward instinctively, but he held it back.Talia took a few unsteady steps toward him. She reached out, caught the edge of his coat between her fingers, and tucked herself behind him.She didn't say a single word, but she didn't need to; her choice was clear.The moment she leaned into him, the corner of Quentin's mouth lifted and stayed there. He took her cold fingers in his hand, right there in front of Christian, without a shred of shame.Then he raised h
