There's No Turning Back Chapter 30
Tobias frowned deeply, the phrase "shameless spectacle" nearly escaping his lips."What did you do to yourself?" he asked.Theodore was dressed, technically, but his appearance seemed even more suggestive than if he hadn't been. Tobias' thick eyebrows twitched furiously."I got caught in the rain," Theodore replied nonchalantly as he casually brushed his soaked hair back.From Elara's perspective, Theodore's profile was breathtakingly symmetrical, embodying the golden ratio. His high-bridged nose curved gracefully like a slide, mesmerizing in its perfection.On the side of his face that faced Elara, his dimples deepened, making him all the more captivating.Tobias, who was now leaning on Theodore for support, raised a hand to shield his eyes. He needed sunglasses—his son's radiant aura was too blinding!"Let me help you to bed, Dad. Don't push yourself too hard," Theodore said."What do you mean, push myself?" Tobias snapped.He continued thinking to himself, "You're the one p

Elara Jones was carrying her daughter as she rushed to the hotel. At this moment, her son's fifth birthday party had already begun.Meanwhile, Harvey Fisher stood beside their son as the warm glow of the candles illuminated the child's tender face.Beau Fisher clasped his hands together and made a wish. "I wish Ms. Niamh could be my new mom."Elara was shivering from the cold as it was raining heavily outside. She had gotten herself soaked trying to keep her daughter and the birthday cake dry.Her clothes clung to her body like a thin layer of ice, wrapping her in cold discomfort.Niamh Jones burst into hearty laughter. "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me Ms. Niamh! Call me Niamh! Your dad and I are more like brothers, so I can only be your second dad or something."Her laughter echoed through the private room. The guests, who were all Niamh's close buddies, joined in the laughter. Only Niamh would dare to tease Harvey this way in front of so many people.Beau b

Niamh turned to Harvey and made a playful face. "Elara misunderstood us again. I'll go explain everything to her.""There's nothing to explain. She's just too sensitive."Harvey's expression remained indifferent as his gaze shifted to the half-eaten birthday cake Elara had left behind. His brows were knit.With Harvey's final word on the matter, the tension in the room eased. Elara storming out wasn't a big deal anyway.The others chimed in agreement. "Elara's just upset. Harvey can calm her down when he gets home.""Exactly. There's no way she'd actually divorce Harvey. Everyone knows Elara almost gave her life to have his kids.""Who knows, she might already regret walking out the door!""Come on, let's eat the cake! By the time Harvey gets home, Elara will probably be standing at the door like a loyal wife waiting for her husband!"Harvey's brows relaxed as he imagined Elara timidly standing by the door, cautiously trying to please him.Meanwhile, Beau savored the cake Niam

Harvey's suggestion to have Scotch eggs was, in truth, a ploy to get Mary to contact Elara. He thought he was already offering her a way back into the fold."Mrs. Fisher said she isn't coming back," said Mary.Harvey choked on his coffee, unable to suppress a coughing fit.Mary sensed something was amiss. "Did you and Mrs. Fisher have an argument, Mr. Fisher?""Mind your own business!" Harvey's sharp tone chilled the air in the dining room.Mary shrank back, not daring to say another word while Harvey tightened his grip on the mug in his hand.How could Elara possibly not come back? By now, she should already be preparing the homemade lunch she always sent to his office.Whenever Elara upset him in the past, she would personally deliver lunch to the office as a reconciliation gesture.…Bambi sat at the dining table, and her eyes lit up when she saw the breakfast. "Wow! Chicken noodle soup!"Bambi loved chicken noodle soup, but Beau would gag at the sight of it. At the Fisher

Harvey had already hung up on the other end of the line.Elara got back into her car, pressed the accelerator, and sped out of the parking space. She didn't notice the black sports car trailing her like a shadow.…The scenery on both sides of the road blurred into streaks as the car raced past. The silver Volvo streaked across the asphalt like lightning.Elara's dark eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead. It had been a long time since she had driven this fast. The rush of adrenaline surged in sync with the speedometer needle climbing to its peak.She overtook three flashy sports cars in quick succession, leaving their drivers shouting in surprise."Whoa! Who the hell was that?"Someone in another car instructed while speaking through a Bluetooth earpiece, "Get me the details on that license plate."The modified sports cars were left far behind one at a time. Elara didn't ease off the accelerator even on the winding curves of the mountain road.The group of young thrill-seekers

Meanwhile, Niamh stepped off her modified motorcycle while carrying a paper bag. The security guard stared wide-eyed at the woman in skintight yoga pants.Niamh casually tossed her loose hair over her shoulder. She then greeted the guard with a carefree smile, and entered the kindergarten.She already knew which class Beau was in, and she walked over with a grin upon spotting Bridget."Hi there, I brought more wax bottle candies for Beau. I heard the ones he brought were a big hit with the other kids."Bridget eyed Niamh critically. "So, you're the one who allowed Beau to bring those candies to school?"Niamh's face lit up with excitement. "Yes! These wax bottle candies were made by a friend of mine using premium beeswax…""So, it was you who nearly caused my son to choke to death!"The furious shout exploded behind Niamh. A resounding slap landed squarely across her face as she turned, leaving her seeing stars."Why the hell are you hitting me?" Niamh yelled."It's because yo

Elara's mind went blank. It was as if a tidal wave had crashed over her, tearing at her body and fueling a storm of anger and humiliation.Her expression remained calm as she reached out and picked up the necklace, while Niamh's eyes lit up with a mocking gleam.Harvey leaned against the sofa, and looked away. He was convinced that Elara was like a dog—neglected one moment but wagging her tail the next the moment he beckoned her.Elara hooked a finger under the necklace around Niamh's neck, pulling it forward. She then held the two necklaces side by side."Niamh, the mother-of-pearl on your necklace is of much better quality. How about we trade?"She didn't call out the fake necklace directly as Niamh would have no shortage of excuses to dodge responsibility. Elara wanted Niamh to silently swallow the loss.The delicate chain tightened against the back of Niamh's neck, and she froze awkwardly. Her earlier anticipation of Elara foolishly wearing the fake necklace out in public and

Elara handed Harvey the pen.Niamh widened her eyes at that moment, unable to hide the glimmer of hope shining within them. When she saw Harvey sign the divorce agreement, a secret sense of triumph lit up her face."Elara, you're being so dramatic! I'd wake up laughing in the middle of the night if I had a husband like Harvey!"Elara shot Niamh a faintly mocking glance. "Do you hear how desperate you sound?"Harvey tossed the signed divorce papers at Elara. "You can throw your tantrum, but don't vent your frustrations at Niamh."Uninterested in arguing further, Harvey lowered his voice and spoke to Bambi. "If you ever want to come home, you can always call Daddy."Bambi tilted her head up and looked at Harvey. She didn't say a word and only tightened her grip on Elara's hand.His gaze toward Elara was cold and indifferent. "Bambi is my daughter, so she's welcome to come back anytime, but you… It won't be so easy for you to return."Harvey seemed like a god perched high above as

It felt as though an invisible rope had tightened around Elara's neck, stealing her breath. Tobias stood before her, wearing a deep navy cotton-linen robe.His frame was thin and frail, his hair was now entirely white, and his back was slightly hunched.Elara opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to call out to him, but the word caught in her throat. She no longer deserved to call his name. She wasn't worthy.Her vision immediately blurred with tears."Hello, sir!" Bambi's childish voice broke through the tension like a gentle spring rain."Are you the wise and brilliant Dr. Tobias Snapp my mom always talks about? She says you're a great educator and an outstanding mathematician!"Tobias' stern expression softened as he gazed at the adorable, round-faced Bambi."Your daughter?" he asked.Elara nodded quickly. "Yes, my daughter, Bambi."One of the young men nearby chimed in excitedly, "Dr. Snapp, she solved the problem you wrote!"Tobias paused for a moment before heading to

"Harvey?" Niamh called out.She noticed Harvey's ears turning red. His expression was something she'd never seen before."What did Elara yell at you about over the phone?"His expression was hard to decipher. "She's still picking a fight with me."Harvey found himself doubting whether the person who had just yelled at him was truly Elara."Elara might be going through menopause," Niamh said with a laugh. "They say women do age faster after having kids."…Elara hung up after her outburst and handed the phone back to Frank. He simply stood frozen in place, utterly petrified.With a small wave of her hand, Elara signaled him to take the phone. Frank then bolted as though lingering another second might earn him the same wrath.Elara was eager to leave Azure Shores, and she turned to Bambi with a suggestion. "Want to go with Mommy to visit her mentor?""Yes!" Bambi replied enthusiastically.Elara called Theodore before heading to the Snapp residence. She stopped by a florist to

Harvey sank into the bathtub with a dark expression, enduring the scorching water. He had reminded the maids countless times—104.5 degrees Fahrenheit was his preferred temperature.The scented incense was supposed to be lit ten minutes before he entered the bathroom, but the subtle fragrance was missing. Leaning back against the leather cushion at the edge of the tub, Harvey noticed the lighting wasn't adjusted properly either."Ridiculous." Elara never once got these simple tasks wrong in their seven years of marriage.Taking a deep breath, Harvey told himself to wait a few more days. Elara would be back soon enough.…The next morning, Elara picked up her phone and saw a message from August."Ms. Jones, are you sure you want to invest all 60 million into the stock market?"Elara replied confidently, "I'm sure. Execute the purchase as soon as the market opens.""Understood," August responded, followed by a warning, "Just don't regret it later."Elara turned on her computer an

"Mommy, was I wrong for doing that just now? I shouldn't have flipped the table, right?" Bambi's voice was small, yet burdened by guilt. She was still so young and thought that by flipping the table, she had caused them to be kicked out of the Jones residence.Elara asked gently, "If you had the chance to do it over, would you still flip the table?"Bambi nodded without hesitation. "I wanted to protect you, Mommy."Elara's smile softened. "Bambi, you did what you could, and you're my hero.""Mommy is my hero!" Bambi said as she nestled into Elara's embrace.Hearing her mother's praise made her eyes shine with pride. Yet, a hint of shyness crept in as she added, "But… I used so much strength. It wasn't very ladylike.""You were born a girl, but girls can be anything they want to be. No one gets to define what a girl should look like or how she should act," Elara said while pulling Bambi close."You were born strong, with the ability to protect yourself. That makes me happy and pr

"Ahhh!" Daphne let out a piercing scream, startled by the sudden chaos.As the round table flipped, Abel scooped Daphne into his arms and stumbled several steps back in panic.Elara seized the moment, rushing forward to pick up Bambi and running toward the nearest kitchen."Abel, I'm so scared!" Daphne whimpered while clinging tightly to Abel's neck.Abel gently patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Daffy. I'll give them both a good slap, and they'll behave!"Daphne shuddered at his words.Niamh, on the other hand, wore a gleeful smile. Elara hadn't faced Abel's wrath since returning to the Jones family. Watching Abel discipline his daughter and granddaughter? Now that would be entertaining!"Elara! Come out here!" Abel shouted, striding toward the kitchen as he loosened the buckle on his belt. He pulled it free, wielding it like a seasoned warden.Then Elara appeared at the kitchen doorway with a sharp knife in her hand. She had Bambi stay behind her in the kitchen while she

Elara chuckled and said, "I've thrown away plenty of trash. Take your time picking it up."Even if Niamh stripped naked and lay in Harvey's bed, it wouldn't spark a shred of anger in Elara. She would only watch with amusement as Niamh brought about her own downfall.Upon learning that the bracelet was a gift from Harvey, Abel seemed relieved. It confirmed to him that Niamh still held a firm grip on Harvey's heart.Abel shifted his anger toward Elara at the dining table."You must have done something to upset Mr. Fisher that led to the divorce! I'm telling you right now that you ought to go and patch things up with him!"The Jones family are against divorces! Aren't you embarrassed? You're a 30-year-old single mom! Who would want you after this?"Elara ate calmly, occasionally checking on Bambi to ensure she was eating well. She asked, "Dad, aren't you going to ask me why I divorced Harvey?""Why bother? You couldn't even keep a man! Do you know how hard I worked to arrange the m

"Alright, I understand," Harvey said as he prepared to hang up.But then he casually added, "How did Elara get in touch with you?"August answered respectfully, "It was Mr. Snapp who introduced me to Ms. Jones."Harvey's gaze darkened, and a shadow settled over his sharp eyes. "Theodore Snapp?"August nodded quickly. "Yes, him."Harvey said nothing more, but a chilling air seemed to emanate from his composed face.…When Elara returned to the Jones residence, the maids had already prepared dinner. Now that she was divorced, she felt it was time to have an honest conversation with her parents.She first took Bambi upstairs to change into fresh clothes. After washing up, she held Bambi's hand and led her out of the room, only to run into her parents."Ah, you're home, Lara?" Her mother, Daphne Larkin, cooed while being carried princess-style in her father, Abel Jones' arms.Daphne had a doll-like face that made her look no older than 30, though she was actually 46. Since Elara

Charles noticed Theodore was in an unusually good mood. "Was that a big client?""Yeah."Charles grew curious and pressed further, "How big of a client are we talking about, to make you this happy?"Theodore replied casually, "If I win this case, I'll go home and get married."The entire room of lawyers stared at him in shock.Theodore was notorious in their circle as a golden bachelor, someone allergic to romantic entanglements and entirely disconnected from emotional relationships. Due to his profession, nobody—male or female—dared to play games with him. Those who tried always ended up in court or at the police station.The meeting room buzzed with chatter. What kind of case or client could be significant enough to prompt Theodore Snapp to turn the page to a new chapter in his life?…Elara didn't have to wait long before she received a call from August Hanson, the manager at BrightPeak Securities."I have 60 million to invest in the stock market," she said calmly.Augus
