When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 457 Chapter 458 55 vouchers Troy was always carefree, never seemed to have his act together. He came off as impulsive and a bit superficial, the kind of guy everyone gossiped about as a ladies' man and a total player. But honestly, he was way purer than all those guys who pretended to be honest and devoted. Teresa was already used to Troy's antics. She didn't bother responding right away; after a brief pause, she asked with curiosity, "How did you get in?" It was still pretty early, and normally, at this time of day, Theodore and Yvonne would still be hanging out downstairs.

So Teresa couldn't help but be curious if Troy had to deal with Theodore giving him a hard time when he came in. Troy dropped Teresa onto the couch, then bent over in front of her and said, "Of course I came in through the front door. You told me it was snowing and the roads were slippery, so I shouldn't climb in through the window. Every word you say sticks with me." Hearing that, Teresa blinked in surprise, "Wait, what about Theodore? Wasn't he downstairs?" She was really wondering if Theodore had tried to stop him. Troy chuckled, "Of course Theodore was downstairs.

He actually told me to get up here and keep you company." Teresa wasn't quite convinced. She frowned at him, suspicion written all over her face. Noticing the slightly aggrieved look in her eyes, Troy laughed, "Alright, I was just teasing you. The maid let me in. Theodore and Teresa weren't even downstairs." Hearing that, Teresa finally relaxed. A few seconds later, Teresa blinked in surprise, "You're done already?" Troy sat down right next to her, leaning in close.

He grinned, "Couldn't wait to see you, so I wrapped things up fast and came running." He always had a way of dropping sweet lines out of the blue. Teresa looked up at Troy, noticing how pale he was. She asked, her voice full of concern, "Is your injury still bothering you?" Troy leaned his chin on her shoulder, feigning weakness and sounding all dramatic. "Not so great." Teresa's worry kicked in right away. "Let me see." "Go ahead," Troy replied without missing a beat. 11 Chapter 458 He sat up straight, then quickly stretched out on the couch.

165 vouchers As soon as he lay down, Teresa glanced over and saw his shirt smeared with blood. She blurted out, "Let me fix you up." "Sure," Troy replied without hesitation. Teresa slowly got up, limping as she went to fetch her medicine box. After grabbing all the supplies she needed to change his bandage, she slipped on her gloves. Seeing Troy's shirt still buttoned up, she bent over and began to undo his buttons herself. Her sudden action made Troy freeze. He instinctively tensed, his skin feeling like it was on fire-like he might just combust right there.

As his shirt came undone, Troy was laid bare before Teresa-she could see everything. At first, he was all nerves, his body stiff while Teresa re-bandaged him with practiced hands. But halfway through, Troy started to loosen up. He watched her, head bowed, a stray lock of hair brushing her cheek. Seeing how focused she was, he couldn't help but smile to himself. After a long moment, he suddenly asked, "Do you like what you see?" Teresa's head snapped up, totally baffled by his out-of-the-blue question. "What?" Troy locked eyes with her, his gaze intense.

"Do you like my body?" He was dead serious, not a trace of his usual cocky attitude. Teresa cut him off sharply, "Troy, quit with the nonsense." Troy put on a dramatic frown and whined, "It hurts." Looking puzzled, Teresa quickly asked, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Let me see." As Teresa leaned in, Troy gave her a playful grin and said, "My heart hurts." Teresa raised her hand to swat him, but seeing how banged up he was, she couldn't bring herself to really hit him-she only gave his chest a light smack.

Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Troy caught it and grinned, "If you hit me again, then when our first time comes, I'll make sure to pay you back-big time." As soon as he said that, Teresa's face turned bright red. She yanked her hand away and shot him a death glare. "You're shameless." Troy just laughed, "Loving someone isn't shameful at all." Chapter 458 Teresa shot him a helpless look, "You..." Seeing her all flustered, Troy's grin only got wider. He pouted and whined, "Honey, hurry up, will you?

I'm so sleepy, Ljust want to crash." Hearing that, Teresa didn't say anything else and just quickened her movements. She quickly finished re-bandaging Troy's wound, then packed up her medicine box. Once everything was done, Teresa turned to Troy and said, "You take the bed tonight. I'll sleep on the couch. Troy frowned. "No way. You take the bed," As he spoke, he sat up and started buttoning his shirt. Teresa looked at Troy and said, "Since you're the one who's hurt, you should take the bed But Troy was stubborn as ever. "Even if I'm the patient, there's no way I'm letting you rough it.

Teresa could only sigh, "You..." Troy took her hand, his big hand gently wrapping around hers. He spoke softly, "We can keep going back and forth, or we can just sleep together. Come on, couples aren't supposed to sleep apart. Once we're married, we're sharing a bed for life." Teresa didn't say anything else. She just slipped her hand free. She got up and hobbled over to put the medicine box away. When she straightened up, she found Troy standing behind her, watching her, clearly waiting for her. Teresa knew he was waiting for her to join him and call it a night.

After a moment of hesitation, Teresa finally caved. In the end, the two of them wound up in bed together. At first, they kept their distance, leaving space between them. As they lay there, Teresa didn't say a word, but she could feel Troy inching closer and closer to her. She knew it was Troy quietly moving toward her. Teresa didn't push him away-she simply let him come closer. Troy pulled her into his arms, and she nestled into his warmth. It didn't take long before she drifted off to sleep. It was a little after midnight when Teresa's phone suddenly started ringing.

In the quiet of the night, the ringtone sounded jarringly loud. Teresa fumbled for her phone and answered it. She didn't bother to check the caller ID-just answered right away. On the other end, Peyton's voice was as smooth and courteous as ever. "Hello, Ms. Sullivan." No matter the time or place, Peyton had always been someone Teresa owed a debt of gratitude to. So Teresa answered politely, "Mr. Peterson." Peyton didn't waste any time. "The trial's almost here. Let's meet up tomorrow and double-check the details." Teresa didn't even hesitate.

"Sure, see you tomorrow." That should have been the end of the call. Teresa didn't hang up-she waited for Peyton to end it, but he just stayed on the line, not saying a word. For a moment, she wondered what he was thinking. After a brief silence, Peyton suddenly asked, "Ms. Sullivan, is Troy there with you?" 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 65 vouchers Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
