He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 239

The people around them couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

Sebastian bringing Helena out in public was already a massive shock.

For years, the woman standing beside him had always been Janetta.

The frequency of Helena's recent appearances was nothing short of mind-boggling.

And even with Janetta, he had never been this indulgent; he had always maintained a certain level of restraint.

Anyone with eyes could see that Helena's bizarre food request was a deliberate test of his patience.

Known for his notoriously short temper, how could he possibly entertain such an unreasonable demand?

Yet, he actually agreed to it?

The crowd's gaze shifted to Helena, filled with a newfound sense of awe.

"Mr. Hayes, you really do dote on your wife."

"You've been hiding Mrs. Hayes all these years, terrified she might suffer the slightest grievance in the public eye, haven't you?"

...

Flattery poured in from all sides.

He just offered a polite, noncommittal smile, saying nothing.

Helena remained equally silent.

"I'm going to play my round," he told her in a low voice.

"Okay," she nodded.

The moment the word left her lips, he leaned down and pressed a lingering kiss against her forehead, completely unbothered by the audience.

She froze.

She hadn't seen that coming at all.

The golf course was a highly public venue, which meant The Press were undoubtedly lurking nearby.

The intimate moment was instantly captured on camera.

He, on the other hand, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, casually pulling back before stepping away.

Then, he got into his golf cart and drove off toward the course.

It took her a long time to finally regain her composure.

By the time she did, the waiter had already brought out a steaming bowl of spicy beef noodles.

She kept her head down, eating quietly, utterly baffled by whatever twisted game he was playing.

She was entirely unaccustomed to these blatant, public displays of affection.

But she decided not to overthink it.

He had already signed The Divorce Agreement, after all.

So she would play along.
