When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 459 Chapter 460 零 By vouchers Teresa looked at Charles, and her heart was utterly still-she felt nothing for him anymore. Once, she'd felt joy, admiration, even worship for him. Later, those feelings turned into resentment and blame. But now, all that was gone; her heart was empty. Not a trace of joy or hope for him remained in her heart. Now, he mentioned Brocade Villa-their wedding house, the place they were supposed to start their life together. But to him, that villa was just for show, nothing more than a prop in his eyes.

Teresa sat upright, her fingers wrapped around a cup of water, feeling its warmth against her palm. As she lowered her eyes, a faint, almost ironic smile crossed her lips. 'I really feel nothing for him anymore, she thought. Then she looked up and said, "Is this really all you came here to say?" Charles met her gaze, his tone flat. "So, what do you want me to say?" Teresa didn't bother answering his question. She got straight to the point, "If you agree to the divorce, I'll withdraw the lawsuit. It'll save us both a lot of pointless trouble." Charles narrowed his eyes, his voice sharp.

"Have you really thought this through? Are you really going to give up on me and Yolanda?" Teresa let out a short, bitter laugh. "Charles, you and Yolanda were the ones who gave up on me first." She'd swallowed so much pain and humiliation just to keep this family together. And now, Charles was turning it around, saying she was the one giving up on them. How ridiculous! Charles just stared at her in silence, completely lost for words. After a long moment, Teresa suddenly broke the silence, her tone casual but with a hint of irony.

"Even now, you probably still think I was just careless and fell, right?" Charles opened his mouth, only to realize his voice had deserted him. It wasn't that he couldn't say anything-he just genuinely didn't know what to say. Seeing how unfazed he was, Teresa continued, "Charles, honestly, this isn't a big deal to me anymore. I told you the truth, but you didn't believe me, so I'm done explaining myself. But let me tell you-if you keep letting Yolanda get close to Naomi, you won't be able to handle her in the future." For the first time, Charles's face actually changed.

He frowned a little and said, "You're her mom. Wouldn't it be better if you were there for her?" 17:03 Fri, Dec 19 04. Chapter 460 Teresa didn't even hesitate, "I don't have any reason to be there for her anymore" (49) Charles's anger started to show. His voice rose as he snapped, "You're her mom! How can you say there's no point in being there for her?" Teresa turned her face away, a wry smile on her lips. "Now you remember I'm her mom? What were you doing back then?" Charles sat up straighter, his voice hoarse as he said, "It's my fault.

I'm sorry." Teresa looked back at him, her tone earnest, almost begging. "Charles, just sign the papers. Let's not keep hurting each other. Let's end things on good terms." Charles just stared at her and didn't say a thing. Teresa went on, "Charles, I don't want things between us to get ugly. After all, we still have Yolanda." Honestly, she didn't care what Charles thought of her anymore. But when it came to Yolanda, it was different. Teresa didn't want her daughter to hate her. Charles locked eyes with Teresa, but he still didn't say a word.

After what felt like an eternity, he suddenly stood up. Teresa wasn't surprised when he stood up-she just assumed he was about to leave. But to her surprise, Charles actually sat down right next to her. The moment he sat down, Teresa was about to get up, but before she could move, Charles's face was suddenly right in front of hers. Teresa instinctively leaned back, trying to put some distance between them. With the back of the chair behind her, she had nowhere to go. She quickly put her hand on Charles's chest, trying to keep him at bay.

Charles leaned in, his devilishly handsome face getting dangerously close to hers. Teresa jumped, turning her face away in a panic. "Charles, what are you doing?" she demanded. Charles froze, looking down at her with unwavering determination. "I don't believe you feel nothing for me." Teresa was cornered on the bench, trapped by him. She wanted to get away, but with her leg still hurt, she didn't dare move too much. All she could do was try to dodge him, forced to stay put. Trying to keep Charles away, Teresa raised her voice, "Charles, wake up!

Do you even realize what you're doing?" Charles answered without a hint of hesitation, "I do." And then he leaned in again, putting his hands right on Teresa's waist. 55 Vouchers The moment he got close, Teresa's mind went blank. She didn't even think-forgetting all about her injured leg, she sprang to her feet. She staggered back, bumping into the table, barely keeping herself from falling over. She grabbed onto the back of the chair, barely managing to steady herself. Teresa glared at Charles and spat, "Charles, you're insane!" Without a second thought, she spun around and stormed off.

Charles didn't get mad. If anything, he couldn't help but think she was kind of adorable when she was mad. Seeing her trying to escape, he quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. Teresa tried to wrench her arm free, but his grip was like iron-no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break loose. She shot Charles a fierce glare, but before she could get a word out, he interrupted her. "Teresa, what if I told you I don't want a divorce after all this?" When he called her by her name, Teresa felt her blood freeze. The meaning behind his words sent a chill down her spine.

Without hesitation, Teresa snapped back, "Fine, if you won't divorce me, I'll see you in court. I won't stop until it's over." Not caring if he'd dislocate her arm, she wrenched herself free with all her strength. Charles must've felt her resolve, because his grip loosened just enough for her to pull away. Once she broke free, Teresa turned and bolted, limping as fast as she could. She was terrified that if she hesitated for even a second, he'd grab her again. Charles sat on the bench, still feeling the warmth she'd left behind, but she was already long gone.

Watching her limp away, not caring about the pain, it felt like someone was carving his heart out with a knife. 'Is it really too late now? No matter what I say, will it even matter anymore?' he thought. Charles finished his coffee. It was supposed to be sweet, but all he could taste was bitterness-so bitter it seeped straight into his heart. He sat there, numb, for a long time before finally getting up to pay the bill. After leaving the café, he drove back to Joyacre Villa. As he got out of the car, he spent a long time psyching himself up.

'What if Naomi shows up and tries to stop me?' he wondered. But when he finally stepped out, all he saw was the wind and snow-nothing else. As Charles walked through the gates of Joyacre Villa, he shot a puzzled glance at the villa next door. All he saw was the half-open gate-beyond that, nothing but silence. When he stepped into the villa, it felt deserted. Not a single sound of laughter or life echoed through the halls. He hung his coat on the rack by the door and called out to Sharon, "Sharon, where's Yolanda?" Sharon looked up toward the stairs and said, "She's still upstairs.

She hasn't come down at all today." Charles took off his watch and loosened his tie as he walked. "I'll go check on her," he said to Sharon. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
