When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 449 Chapter 450 Teresa set her phone down and sat up, resting against the back of her chair. Her gaze softened as she looked at Troy. As she watched him, her heart was filled with both admiration and worry. Jason was Charles's guy. They were always part of the same crowd. If things really came to a head, Charles would definitely take Jason's side. Whether the whole thing about Jason and Naomi kissing was true or not, it would directly affect Charles. So, by doing this, Troy was basically declaring war on Charles.

No matter what Troy had done to Teresa, Charles never really cared about her, so he wouldn't go after Troy too hard. But Naomi was different-she was the apple of his eye. Once news like this spread all over the internet, Charles would definitely come after Troy. It was only a matter of time before the two of them ended up on opposite sides. Watching Troy sleep, Teresa couldn't help but feel uneasy. 'But no matter how much I worry, it won't change anything,' Teresa thought. Troy was right there with her, safe for now-and that was enough for her.

With that thought in mind, Teresa rested her head on the edge of the bed again. Soon enough, she fell asleep too. As dawn broke, Troy opened his eyes. Compared to how exhausted he'd been last night, he felt like he'd gotten most of his strength back now that he was awake. Thinking about how he'd dragged himself to Teresa's place last night, barely hanging on, he burst out laughing. He really hadn't cared about his own life, as long as she'd save him. It was the only way to keep her by his side. She'd saved his life, so now his life was hers to claim.

Thinking about all this, tears unexpectedly slid down the corners of Troy's eyes. Seeing Teresa lying by the bed in nothing but a thin nightgown, he felt a pang of worry for her and reached out to brush her cheek. Chapter 450 Her skin felt a soft tickle, and Teresa opened her eyes, instinctively sitting up 66 Vouchers When her eyes met Troy's face, she saw him smiling. He was still a bit pale, but he looked much better now. Teresa rubbed her eyes and, her voice still rough, asked Troy, "You're not going to sleep a little longer?

Troy just looked at her, a quiet smile on his lips, saying nothing. Teresa caught his smile-something about it made her a bit nervous, but she still asked, worried, "Are you feeling any better?" Troy nodded. "Yeah, much better." Teresa pulled the blanket up for him and asked, "How did you get yourself hurt?" Troy crooked his finger at her, flashing a devilish, irresistibly charming, grin. "Come here, and I'll tell you. Teresa didn't think twice. She just trusted him. She moved closer, bringing her car right next to him.

But in the next instant, Troy suddenly sat up and planted a kiss right on Teresa's car. Without thinking, Teresa covered her ear, eyes wide with surprise as she stared at Troy, "You..." Her face went up in flames in an instant. Troy saw how red her cheeks were and couldn't help but laugh. "A scratch like this is nothing if it means I get to see you." When Teresa looked at him again, her face grew serious. "You're hurt this badly and you can still joke around? Troy, do you even realize how risky this is? If something really happened to you, what would your mom do?

And I..." She stopped herself mid-sentence, instinctively clamming up. She realized what she was about to say and quickly shut her mouth. Troy leaned in, purposely trying to get her to say it. "And you? What about you?" He knew exactly what she meant, but he just wanted to hear her admit it herself. Teresa avoided his gaze and stayed silent. She was just about to get up and say she'd go crash on the couch, but Troy suddenly grabbed her hand, his voice went all gentle. "Honey, I missed you." He held on for dear life, like he was terrified she'd leave him.

Teresa turned back to him, her brows furrowed. "Is everything settled now?" TJU 155 vouchers Troy gave her a soft, loving look. "Yeah." Teresa asked cautiously, "Was it Jason?" Troy answered without a second thought, "Yeah, it was him." Teresa had already guessed as much, and she'd even wondered if Charles was behind it. After getting her answer, Teresa didn't say anything else. She tried to twist her hand free, but Troy wouldn't let go. So she said, "Troy, let go of my hand for a sec. I'll go get you something to eat." But Troy just wouldn't let go.

If anything, he was gripping her hand even tighter. Teresa couldn't break free, so she called his name out, "Troy..." Without even realizing it, her voice took on a softer, pleading tone-almost like she was being cute with him. When Troy heard her voice like that, all his restraint snapped. He tugged her onto the bed with a swift pull, making her land right at the edge, breathless and flustered. Without missing a beat, Troy leaned in and pressed Teresa down against the mattress, pinning her hands by her sides. He dipped his head and captured her lips in a deep, possessive kiss.

His kiss was tender yet intense, and his rough fingers slipped under her nightgown, trailing upward until he boldly claimed her softness without a hint of hesitation. Teresa's body arched and twisted under his touch, her moans spilling out, each one louder and more desperate than the last. She knew it was shameless, but with Troy working her over like this, Teresa was utterly powerless to resist. She murmured, "Troy, I..." Troy pulled away from her lips, trailing kisses over her eyes, nose, chin, and cheekbones. "Do you want me now?" he teased.

Teresa seized the moment, yanking her hand free and clamping it over her mouth, desperate to muffle those shameless sounds threatening to spill out. She was so embarrassed she couldn't even bring herself to answer Troy. Seeing her trying to hold back, Troy firmly pulled her hand away. He leaned over her, his warm lips brushing against her earlobe as he murmured in a husky voice, "Honey, just relax." The more Troy tried to reassure her, the more tense Teresa became. Troy pushed himself up, noticing how Teresa kept her eyes tightly shut, like she was waiting for something.

He couldn't help but chuckle. The next moment, he leaned down again, his lips close to her ear as he whispered, "No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." Chapter 450 When Teresa heard him say that, she realized he was answering her question. 1355 vouchers She opened her eyes, and in the next instant, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around him. Her voice thick with emotion as she murmured, "Troy, thank you." Troy sat up, looking at Teresa for a long moment before leaning down to kiss away her tears.

His fingers softly stroked her cheek as he spoke gently, "Come over to my place for Chinese New Year. My mom's got a present she wants to give you." Teresa suddenly remembered she still hadn't divorced Charles, so she instinctively replied, "Maybe later." Troy's voice was firm and a little domineering. "No way you're turning me down." But Teresa still tried to dodge it. "Troy, but I..." Seeing how stubborn she was, Troy could only soften his tone and beg, "Honey, just do this for me, please. I'm asking you." With Troy pestering her like that, Teresa was completely out of options.

She finally relented and said softly, "Okay, I'll go." When Troy heard her agree, he buried his face in her chest and laughed. "So you're finally admitting you're my wife?" Teresa tried to push him away. "Troy, don't be ridiculous." Troy propped himself up, grinning down at her. "Doesn't matter, you're gonna be my wife sooner or later." Teresa met his gaze, his features hazy and unreadable, but deep down, she knew-she was already falling, and there was no turning back. She was afraid, scared that she'd get hurt the same way all over again.
