When She Turns Her Back Chapter 1042
The ponytail was loose and a little lopsided, but it more or less held her hair together.Talia finished trimming the vegetables for a side salad and moved to wash them.Quentin reached around her and took them from her hands before she could. "I'll do it."He'd grabbed them from behind her, his arm sweeping past her waist, and in doing so, he'd pulled himself flush against her back. She could feel the faint lines of muscle across his chest pressing against her.Talia's whole body went rigid. She didn't move, and she didn't speak. But the rapid rise and fall of her chest gave her away completely.Quentin leaned down and rested his chin in the curve of her shoulder. His arms extended past either side of her waist and into the sink, rinsing the vegetables under the running water.Talia was trapped in his arms with nowhere to go. If she turned her head even a little, she could feel the warmth radiating off his body.It was too much for Talia. She reached for the vegetables and said

By the time Quentin pulled up to the Stewart residence, Maeve had fallen asleep in Talia's arms. He glanced back at them, then eased out of the car as quietly as he could.He walked around to the rear door and opened it. Talia was already moving to carry Maeve out, but Quentin leaned in first. "I've got her.""Okay." Talia shifted back to give him room.Quentin reached in and carefully lifted Maeve out. Talia climbed out after him, and the two of them walked into the main hall together.Paige and Garrett both looked up at the sound of footsteps.When Paige saw Quentin carrying Maeve, she immediately turned to Garrett and instructed, "Go take her."Garrett got up and walked over, with his arms outstretched. "I'll take her."Quentin had been planning to carry Maeve upstairs himself, but he thought better of it and handed her over. "All yours."Once Garrett had Maeve, Paige came forward and smiled warmly at Quentin. "Thank you, Mr. Henderson."Quentin smiled back, feeling a littl

Lucas drove slowly on purpose.The trip to Willow's place should have taken 15 minutes at most, but he stretched it to 30. Along the way, he deliberately took a few wrong turns, eating up time wherever he could.When the car finally pulled up outside her building, Willow didn't linger for even a second. She pushed the door open and got out.Lucas followed suit. He stepped in front of her before she could reach the entrance."Willow, I..." He looked at her; the words stuck somewhere in his throat.Willow smiled at him and said, "Go home. It's cold out, and it's late. Get some rest."But Lucas wasn't ready to leave. He gathered his nerve and asked, "You're not going to invite me up for a cup of coffee?"Willow shook her head. "Next time. I'm tired tonight."He didn't push. He just smiled and said, "Alright. We've got time."Willow bit down hard on her lip to keep herself from breaking. Her voice came out rough as she said, "Good night.""Good night," Lucas said.Then Willow tu

Talia stopped at the edge of the road, and Seamus came to stand beside her.She turned to face him, weighed her words carefully, and then spoke with a slightly apologetic tone. "Mr. Merritt, I was hoping I could ask you about something."Seamus gave her an easy smile. "Go ahead. You're Quentin's fiancee, and you're Evan's close friend on top of that. Either way, I'll tell you whatever I can."Talia politely returned the smile, then got straight to the point. "A couple of days ago, Christian came to me, and we signed a new divorce agreement. We went to the courthouse, but the clerk told us our cooling-off period had already expired."Since we didn't finalize the divorce within that window, we have to start the whole process over from scratch. I wanted to ask you if there's any way around it."Every day the divorce remained unsettled was another day Talia couldn't rest easy. She wanted it done so she could move on with her life.Seamus listened, then shook his head. "There's no sho

The mood was serious, and Yvonne could sense it. She sat up straight and nodded. "Okay."Christian stood and said, "Come upstairs with me."Yvonne glanced at Nancy, then got up with a resigned little sigh. When they reached the second floor, Yvonne saw that the study door was open. She walked in and found Christian standing with his back to her.She hesitated before quietly calling out, "Daddy?"Christian turned around and gave her a faint smile, then sat down at the desk. "Have a seat."Yvonne clambered onto the chair across from him, and the sight of her scrambling up made Christian laugh despite himself.Once she was settled, Yvonne looked at him and asked, "What is it, Daddy?"Christian took a moment before speaking. "If I married Nancy, would that make you unhappy?"Yvonne's face lit up instantly. "Unhappy? I'd be so happy I wouldn't know what to do with myself.""But what if Nancy and I had a baby of our own someday?"Yvonne's brows furrowed as she gave it some serious

When Christian stood, Nancy rose with him out of instinct. But he stopped her and said, "You don't need to come. I'll be back down after the call."Nancy didn't press him. She just gave a faint smile and stayed where she was.Christian went upstairs and into his study. He sat at the desk for a while, finishing another cigarette before finally picking up the phone and calling Margaret.It barely rang before she answered."Oh, so you do remember you have a mother. I was starting to wonder." The complaints started the second the line connected.Christian waited for her to finish. "Are you done?"Margaret paused, then said, "Yes. I'm done.""Good. I need you to start preparing for a wedding. Nancy and I are getting married in a week."The other end of the line went quiet for a long time. When Margaret finally spoke, her voice was steeped in disbelief. "You want to have a wedding with Nancy?""Yes," he said without hesitation.Margaret's temper flared. "You've lost your mind.""I

Talia gave a faint smile and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Henderson."Millie waved a hand dismissively. "There's no need to be so polite. We'll be family soon anyway."Talia wasn't sure how to respond, so she turned to Quentin.Seeing her look at him, Quentin shrugged nonchalantly. "I simply mentioned

Talia turned and glanced at the hospital bed. Yvonne's face was rosy, and her eyes were wide and bright. She didn't look sick at all.As she thought it over, she figured that Yvonne was probably faking it.And so, feigning helplessness, she turned to the doctors and said, "In that case, let's go a

When Henry locked eyes with Talia, he quickly smiled.Talia returned a soft smile, then pressed her lips together before asking, "Is there something urgent?"Henry didn't want to hide it from her, so he answered truthfully, "There's an emergency surgery I need to do."Talia looked at him with con

Talia, wearing only a thin undershirt, carefully checked Millie's upper body.After confirming that there were no other open wounds, she said to Henry, "No more bleeding points."Henry pressed down on the wound, his face drenched in sweat and his hands slick with blood. He looked at Talia and said
