When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 458 Chapter 459 When Peyton asked about Troy, Teresa was instantly wide awake. She honestly had no idea how to answer that question. While she was still hesitating, Troy suddenly reached over from behind and snatched the phone from her hand. He pressed the phone to his car and said to Peyton, "Peyton, did you need something?" Peyton didn't seem surprised at all. As soon as he heard Troy's voice, he got straight to the point. "Can watch Zane for me tomorrow?" Troy didn't hesitate. "Sure." Peyton added, "Come to my place and pick him up at eight." Troy replied, "Got it.

Anything else?" Peyton said, "Nope." Troy said, "Okay, I'm gonna hang up now." He was about to end the call, but Peyton beat him to it and hung up first. Hearing the busy tone, Troy couldn't help but let a small smile slip. After turning off the screen, Troy handed the phone to Teresa. "Honey, just put it down for me." Teresa took the phone without thinking and set it on the nightstand. you As soon as she put it down, Troy suddenly pulled her into his embrace, holding her close like it was the easiest thing in the world. Teresa didn't resist. She let him hold her.

In his arms, she slept soundly. The next morning, when Teresa opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Troy's face, up close and personal. Before she could even react, Troy, with a big smile on his face, said, "Awake?" Teresa instinctively scooted back a little. Instead of answering, she just asked, "What time is it?" Troy replied, "It's a little past seven." Hearing that, Teresa asked anxiously, "Aren't you supposed to pick up Zane at eight?" Chapter 459 Troy sat up slowly. "I'm heading out soon, but you were still asleep.

Now that you're up, I wanted to let you know before I go get him." Teresa replied with a simple "Oh," and sat up as well. It was barely eight, and the sun hadn't really come up yet. But since she was meeting up with Peyton today, Teresa got out of bed once Troy was gone, After getting ready, Teresa stepped out of Sullivan Mansion at nine. She got to the place Peyton had picked at about nine thirty. Peyton had chosen the spot, and when Teresa arrived, she realized it was a pretty nice tea restaurant.

Once they sat down, Peyton waved the waiter over and had him bring Teresa the menu, nodding for her to order whatever she wanted. She only asked for a coffee, skipping the rest of the menu. After her coffee arrived, Peyton pulled a notebook out of his briefcase. He asked Teresa about everything that had happened between her and Charles, taking notes as she answered. When he finished, he explained some things that might come up in court. When their conversation was winding down, Teresa's phone started ringing. Peyton gestured for her to go ahead and answer it.

She lowered her eyes to check her phone, only to be caught off guard when Charles's name popped up on the screen. She was totally expecting it to be Troy calling. Turns out, it was Charles instead. Teresa hesitated, then answered the call. "Hello?" Charles's slightly husky voice came through. "What are you up to?" Teresa hadn't expected him to ask such a trivial question. After thinking it over, she replied, "I'm talking to Peyton about the divorce proceedings." There was a long pause on the other end before Charles finally spoke. He broke the silence. "Yolanda's feeling down.

Could you come over and keep her company for the day? She'd be so happy if you did." Teresa's expression turned cold. "If that's what this is about, I'm hanging up." 17:03 Fri, Dec 10 04 Chapter 459 12 on vouchers Charles sounded pissed, his voice low and harsh. "Is all that stuff you care about really more important than Yolanda?" Teresa didn't even blink. "More important than either of you? Charles snapped. "Teresa, you Teresa was ice-cold. "Charles, I'm done living for other people, Both you and Yolanda have folks who matter to you.

I deserve that too." Before he could get another word in, she hung up on him, no hesitation. As she set her phone down, Teresa could feel Peyton watching, her, so she glanced over at him. When their eyes met, Peyton said, "Ms. Sullivan, I think that's everything, I needed to ask. Want me to drop you off with Troy?" Teresa shook her head. "No, I'd rather just wander around by myself for a bit." Peyton nodded. "Alright, but just a heads-up-you should probably let Troy know where you are. If he doesn't hear from you, he'll really turn the world upside down." Teresa smiled.

"Got it." Once their conversation was over, Peyton got up and left. Teresa lingered in the café for a bit, sipping her coffee. When she finished, she got up and walked out. It was snowing outside, and the air was biting cold. The wind sliced at her like knives, stinging her skin. Still, Teresa squared her shoulders and headed out anyway. Her leg was still acting up, and she was scared of falling, so she moved super carefully, one step at a time. She finally made it to the mall, and just as she was about to head inside, a tall figure appeared in front of her.

Teresa instinctively glanced back-and there was Charles. The moment she saw him, her mood just evaporated. Charles walked up with a cold look on his face. "Can we talk for a minute?" Teresa froze for a second, clearly reluctant. After thinking it over, she finally agreed. "Okay." Charles started walking ahead. "Follow me." He was striding ahead, not even glancing back to see if Teresa was keeping up. Chapter 459 With her leg still not fully healed, there was no way Teresa could match his pace-but she didn't care. She just walked slowly, not bothering to hurry.

Back then, she would've done anything to catch up to him. But now, she just wanted to put her own feelings first. Charles walked ahead for quite a distance, and when he noticed Teresa wasn't catching up, he stopped and turned around. He saw her walking very slowly. For a moment, he felt a bit impatient. But that feeling soon faded away. He stood quietly in the middle of the mall, waiting for her. Teresa saw Charles waiting for her, but not even a flicker of emotion stirred in her heart. He was Charles Logan-never like anyone else.

He'd wait for her, but he'd never make the first move to offer her a hand. Charles ended up choosing a café. Teresa didn't want any more coffee, so she just ordered a glass of warm water. They sat across from each other at a long table, neither one saying a word. 'If Charles doesn't start talking, I could stay quiet too, no problem,' Teresa thought to herself. But Charles finally spoke up.

"Yolanda's really not doing well." Teresa paused, then replied, "Yeah?" Charles ventured, "Do you want to go see her?" Teresa replied flatly, "No." Charles noticed her chilly attitude and, a bit confused, asked, "Do you really dislike me?" Teresa looked up at him and replied, calm as ever, "No, I don't dislike you." Charles met Teresa's gaze and, with a touch of nostalgia, said, "We haven't been back to Brocade Villa in ages. Wanna go?" He definitely meant more than he was saying. 'Is he still stuck on that whole second baby thing?' Teresa thought.
