When She Turns Her Back Novel

As Charles gently set her down on the bed, Teresa , a little dazed , found herself thinking that maybe he really had changed . If it had been in the past , he wouldn't have cared about anyone else's opinion at all . If Charles wanted something , he'd always make it happen , just how he liked .

Charles tucked Teresa in , standing quietly beside the bed and watching her with a thoughtful look . After a while , he suddenly said , " Get some rest . I'll go downstairs for a bit ." Teresa couldn't hide her surprise at his gentle tone . But she ended up keeping quiet . After taking a couple of steps , Charles suddenly stopped , turned back , and walked over to the bed . He leaned down and said softly , " If you need anything , just call me . I'll be right downstairs ." Teresa frowned a little , then nodded . " Okay ." With that , Charles finally headed downstairs .

Sharon was busy in the kitchen when Charles walked in . Charles stood by the door , while Sharon was busy at the stove . Sharon glanced at him but didn't say a word . After finishing his cigarette , Charles finally spoke up . " Does Mrs. Logan really like chicken soup ? " Sharon nodded . " Yeah , she does ." Charles made a mental note , then added , " Just stick to lighter meals for her the next few days . Nothing spicy -her stomach won't take it . " Sharon blinked , a little surprised , then quickly nodded . " Alright . " After that , Charles just lingered , showing no intention of leaving .

Sharon glanced over , clearly confused as to why he was still standing there . When Charles caught her eye , he finally asked , " Does she like anything else ?

She only snapped back to reality when a little flame jumped up at the side of the pan . She turned down the heat and looked over at Charles , her voice curious and a bit concerned . " Mr.

Logan , is everything alright ? " In Sharon's memory , Charles had never gone out of his way to care about Teresa like this before . Charles caught Sharon's surprise , his face set with a steely expression as he said , " Just tell me what I need to know . " Sharon hesitated but replied , " Mrs. Logan likes chicken soup , shrimp , corn , potatoes , beef , chili peppers , okra , taro , jackfruit , apples , and watermelon . She enjoys orange juice and coffee , and I think her favorite colors are black and blue . Anything else , I'm not too sure about .

" Charles took everything Sharon said to heart , nodding seriously . " Got it . I'll keep that in mind . " With that , he was about to head out of the kitchen . But just as he reached the doorway , Sharon hurriedly called after him , " Mr. Logan ! " Charles stopped in his tracks and turned around , a little confused . " What's wrong ? " Sharon's voice softened , carrying a bit of concern . " Mr. Logan , if you really want Mrs. Logan to come back , just knowing what she likes to eat isn't really enough , is it ? " Charles hadn't expected Sharon to catch on so quickly .

He asked bluntly , " Then what else should I do ? " Sharon said , " What woman could ever stand having another girl around her husband ? Mr. Logan , you really need to think hard about who you actually want by your side . " Charles knew Sharon meant Naomi . He nodded . " Yeah , I'll figure it out . " As Charles rushed to leave , Sharon quickly said , " You guys have a kid together , Mr. Logan . You should really think about what it would do to them if they grew up without their mom around . Like people say , no matter how nice someone else's mom is , your own is always the best .

It's the same for kids - nothing beats being with their own mom . " Charles got what Sharon was hinting at , but he didn't say another word . He just turned around and walked out of the kitchen . Just as he stepped out of the kitchen , his phone started ringing . It was Liam . Liam said , " Mr. Logan , you haven't been in the office for days .

" Charles pushed open the door and sat down on the edge of the bed . He took Teresa's hand , not wanting to let go . " I need to go to the office soon , so I guess I won't get to eat lunch with you .

" ' Her heart was screaming yes a million times over , but Teresa kept her feelings locked away , not letting any of it show on her face .' She nodded gently. " Okay ." After that , Charles and Teresa just stared at each other in silence , the air thick with everything left unsaid . If this were the old days , Teresa would've reminded him to take care or fussed over every little thing . But now , she didn't have anything else she wanted to say . Charles felt a dull ache in his chest , but there was nothing more he could say .

Charles hesitated for a moment , then asked teasingly , " So , can I give you a kiss ? " Teresa frowned , her face going chilly as she replied , " Is this really necessary between us ? " Charles smiled softly . " Isn't it said girls love a little romance ? " Teresa chuckled . " Charles , I'm not a kid anymore - I'm almost thirty . " Charles's eyes were dark and intense as he met her gaze . " To me , you'll always be you ." ' But honestly , how could things ever go back to the way they were ? ' Teresa couldn't help but think to herself .

She knew deep down that she wasn't the same woman anymore . Teresa didn't answer . She just said , " Go on . Be careful . " Hearing Teresa finally tell him to be careful , Charles smiled . " I'll text you when I get there . Just rest up , okay ? I'll have Sharon bring your lunch up ." Teresa nodded . " Okay . " Charles made sure Teresa was tucked in , but instead of getting up right away , he hesitated for a moment , then leaned in and gently kissed her forehead . Teresa hadn't even had a chance to react before Charles was already on his feet and out the door .

What are you doing right now ? Are you coming to see me at the hospital later ? " Hearing this , Charles knitted his brows , feeling unsettled . For a split second , he was caught off guard - Naomi sounded so much like Teresa once did , and it left him strangely shaken .
