When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 836 Chapter 356 Charles's words made Finn fall into silence . After a long while , Finn finally turned to Charles , his eyes red . " I've never thought she wasn't good enough for me . She's wonderful , and what happened to her was never her fault . " Charles didn't pass judgment . He just said , " When you're sober tomorrow , I'll have someone set you up with a few women . Hang out with them a bit . There are tons of women in the world - breaking up with her doesn't mean your life is over ." Hearing that , Finn's face grew cold , tinged with disbelief .

" Charles , I'm not as cold - blooded as you ." Charles's voice turned steely . " Finn , get a grip . You've got plenty of amazing women around you , no point hanging all your hopes on just one- " He left the sentence hanging , but Finn could read his mind loud and clear . Finn sprang to his feet , shouting back at Charles . " You're you and I'm me - we're not the same . I'm not heartless like you . Yvonne's stuck by your side for years , but now she's drifting away . Did it ever cross your mind that maybe it's you who's the problem ?

" Charles froze , his eyes wide as he stared at Finn , utterly speechless . Finn wasn't pulling any punches . He shot back , " Troy - the infamous playboy - he's the one who's been looking out for Yvonne . Honestly , if I were a woman , I'd go for Troy too ." Charles finally snapped . He stood up abruptly , glaring at Finn as he barked out , " What did you just say ? " Finn hurled his glass to the ground with a sharp crash . " Are you seriously that clueless ? " Wine splashed everywhere , with a few drops even landing in Charles's eyes , making him flinch .

They locked eyes for what seemed like ages , the tension so thick you could cut it with a knife - neither of them said another word . After that long , heavy silence , Charles just snorted , barely hiding his disdain , then turned and walked away without looking back . Finn wasn't tipsy in the slightest - his mind was razor - sharp . He didn't regret a thing he'd said to Charles , and apologizing wasn't even on his radar . As Charles headed out of the bar , he was instantly flirted with - a bombshell sauntered over , her waist moving like she was trying to break it on purpose .

When they crossed paths , she went straight for his arms , all but draping herself over him . " Oh my, " she purred , her soft fingers deliberately caressing his chest . Meanwhile , she bent forward just enough for him to catch a tempting view down her top if he dared a glance . Charles didn't bother to steady her . Instead , he dropped his voice , almost chilling as he asked , " Do I look cold - hearted to you ? " His words sliced right through the bar's noise , so chilling it sent a shiver down her spine . 7:21 pm pp Chapter 356 3 She quickly forced a giggle , putting on her best flirt .

" N - no , you're really handsome , hotshot , " Charles flashed a sudden smile at her response . But that smile ? No way to guess what he really meant . She ignored everything else and grabbed Charles's hand , trying to pull it against her own body , After all , the guy looked rich and powerful - if she didn't seize this opportunity , she'd kick herself forever . antil But just as she was about to make it happen , Charles suddenly yanked his hand back . He flashed a devilish grin and said , " Sorry . You're definitely attractive , but I'm already married .

" With that , he pushed her away and strode out of the bar . She glared after his retreating figure , stomping her feet in frustration right where she stood . Meanwhile , Troy noticed Charles and Finn having a heated confrontation . Although he couldn't make out their words , their faces made it obvious - they were both pretty angry . Seeing the two storm off in such a foul mood , Troy couldn't help but smirk . Sylvia glanced up and caught Troy's smirk right at that moment . He hadn't given a smile like that all evening - not until now .

And seeing that rare grin tug at his lips , Sylvia's heart couldn't help but flutter a little . Troy was tall , ridiculously handsome , obviously rich - and the way he carried himself had that unmistakable blue - blood vibe . If she could get Troy to be her boyfriend , Sylvia thought , she'd look amazing showing him off wherever they went . So she was dead set on not letting this chance slip away . No matter what happened after , she was still the one who'd saved Troy - it was her , always her . That would never change . When Charles got back to Joyacre Villa , Sharon was already asleep .

But as he went upstairs , he saw that Yolanda's room was still lit up . He checked his watch - it was already eleven PM .

C'mon , let Dad take a look Yolanda's eyes darted anxiously and she grew even more panicked . She blurted out . " Dad , it's my secret ! You can't peek " Charles let out a laugh . " Come on , at your age , you already have secrets ? Yolanda sat up a little straighter . " But Dad , Miss Naomi says every girl gets to have her own secrets ?

Charles dropped his hand , still looking baffled . " Seriously , what kind of secret can't even your dad know about ? " Yolanda snuggled under the covers , making a cute face . " Dad , stop bothering me ! If you keep it up , I'll wake up with panda eyes tomorrow ." Charles sat down on the edge of her bed , tucking her in gently . " It's late . Go to sleep , sweetheart ." Yolanda hugged her blanket , her eyes uncertain . " Dad , is Mom coming back tomorrow ? " Charles brushed a strand of hair from her cheek . " Go to sleep now , honey . I'll talk to Mom soon . " Yolanda closed her eyes .

" I hope Mom will be here when I wake up ." Hearing those words , Charles felt a swirl of emotions . He stroked her cheek softly and said , " Yeah , sweetheart . Get some sleep ." Once Yolanda was fast asleep , Charles quietly slipped out of her room . As for the whole tablet - hiding thing , he decided to just let it slide for now . Yolanda had a point - every girl's got a right to her own little secrets . Back in his bedroom , Charles freshened up in no time . Slipping into his robe , he picked up his phone and wandered over to the floor - to - ceiling window .

He tried calling Teresa , but she just wouldn't pick up . He dialed her two more times - still no answer . Charles hesitated for a moment before sending Teresa a message : [ Yolanda misses you . Maybe you can come home tomorrow ? ] Teresa stared at the WhatsApp notification , her heart heavy , but she let the message sit unanswered . It was snowing hard in Northvale , and our car was barely crawling along the road . Teresa's phone kept ringing - she just let it buzz , not even glancing at the screen . Hector glanced over , curiosity in his voice . " Is that Charles?

" She didn't hide it at all . " Yeah , he wants me to come back , " Teresa replied . Hector kind of deflated , mumbling , " Yeah . " Teresa shook her head . " I'm not going back , though . " Hearing that , Hector instantly perked up . " Alright , take a nap . I'll wake you when we're there ." 7:21 pm pp Chapter 356 Teresa tucked her phone away , leaned her head against the window , and tried to get some sleep .
