Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 531 - Bab 540

When Christian mentioned going home with him, his expression was serious and his eyes held no trace of frivolity. This kept Talia from overthinking it.So she simply said with some resistance, "Jubilee Manor and Elmwood Estate are both your homes, not mine. I won't go back with you."Christian's face turned cold at her refusal. He lowered his voice. "Don't forget what I said before."Talia was confused. She asked Christian, "What did you say?"Just then, the light turned green. Traffic was heavy. Christian's car was caught in the flow, and he wasn't driving fast.Talia stared at Christian's profile, puzzled. She heard his cold, calm voice say, "Let's do it one more time."Actually, even if Christian hadn't said it, Talia would have thought of it. It was just that his serious expression moments ago made her think he wouldn't bring this up. Moreover, there was no need for them to do it again.She just hadn't expected him to say it anyway.After Talia figured out his intention, sh

Christian held Yvonne. He lowered his head and nuzzled the top of her head, asking softly, "But didn't you always want Mommy with you when you were sick before?"Hearing this, Yvonne began sobbing quietly. The fever had left her too weak to make a fuss or struggle. She could only resist Christian's wishes through tears.Christian sighed helplessly at his daughter's tears.Talia stood to the side with no intention of stepping forward or showing concern. Children got fevers all the time.Once the flu passed, there would be no problem. She knew Yvonne's condition wasn't serious, so she could remain indifferent.Christian turned to glance at Talia. She stood to the side as if this had nothing to do with her.After thinking for a moment, Christian walked toward her while holding Yvonne. At the same time, he said to her, "You hold Yvonne."Yvonne sensed what was happening. Suddenly finding strength from somewhere, she began struggling. She protested loudly, "No! I don't want the bad

Christian had originally intended to go to the stairwell, but in the end, he went up to the rooftop instead. For some reason, he felt all kinds of discomfort inside.Although the wind was blowing outside, at least the walls provided some shelter. Christian managed to light a cigarette. The smoke had barely left his mouth before the wind scattered it in all directions.After finishing one cigarette, Christian immediately lit a second. Talia's face filled Christian's mind.He couldn't quite describe what kind of feeling it was. He just vaguely felt that he might be missing her again. She'd only just left, yet he felt like he already missed her.The more he tried to stop himself from thinking about her, the more he couldn't help it. Finally, unable to resist any longer, he pulled out his phone and sent Talia a message."Did you get home safely?"After waiting two minutes, Talia's reply came back. "Yes, I'm home."Looking at those cold, brief words, Christian thought about how Talia

In the dim light, Talia struggled to keep her gaze fixed on Quentin's eyes.Her voice was hoarse as she asked, "Didn't you go home?"Quentin returned her gaze and replied, "I did, but I was worried you wouldn't go home, so I came to watch over you."He leaned in, putting on a mock-threatening face as he continued, "If you didn't come back, I'd make sure Christian's house gets turned upside down tonight."Talia didn't pull away. She felt Quentin's warmth but couldn't read his expression or the feigned fierceness on his face.Neither of them could see the other clearly, and their gazes met haphazardly in the dim light.Talia realized how late it was, so she ignored his words and changed the subject. "You should go back now."Quentin immediately rejected her suggestion. "No, I just got here. I don't want to go back yet."As he said that, he leaned in and rested his head on her shoulder.Quentin looked up, and that was when he noticed the faint shimmer of tears in her eyes.In an

Paige reached out and hit Garrett, saying, "So what if I spoil Quentin? Talia deserves a man like him."Fuming, Garrett was at a loss for how to respond. "You…"Paige stood her ground, her gaze challenging as she asked, "What?"He fixed his eyes on hers and asked earnestly, "Is that how you feel about yourself too?"Paige deliberately drew out her words. "Yes. What are you gonna do about it?"At her words, Garrett crossed the room in a few strides. He hoisted her up and gave her two punishing swats on her bottom. "Have you changed your mind?"Paige winced in pain but refused to back down. She threw her arms around his neck and replied with a grin, "No, I won't."Clearly frustrated, he pushed her onto the couch. Then, he leaned down, his expression dark with seriousness as he asked, "Are you still going to think that way?" Paige didn't respond but instead tugged at his neck, pulling him down until their lips met in a passionate kiss.…Meanwhile, in the bedroom, the ruckus Pa
