The news of Helena and Sebastian's divorce had long since shot to the top of the headlines.
However, Sebastian hadn't issued any public statements, and the divorce certificate still hadn't been finalized.
The divorce proceedings were deliberately stalled.
"Have you and Helena officially divorced?" Janetta asked, suppressing her excitement to keep her tone composed.
Sebastian didn't deny it.
But he offered no further explanation.
Janetta paused for a moment before asking, word by word.
"Sebastian, let's get married, okay?" Janetta finally voiced her true goal.
"It's been so long, and everything is finally over. No one will judge you. If you're worried about the public twisting our relationship, we can hold off on the ceremony for now. But not being legally married leaves me feeling so insecure. I suppose after waiting all these years, my anxiety is just catching up to me."
Janetta spoke with profound emotion.
"Janetta," Sebastian finally spoke up. "Let's wait until after your surgery, alright?"
This was essentially giving Janetta a timeline.
Knowing better than to push her luck, Janetta backed off.
"Alright," she agreed.
That effectively brought their conversation to a close.
Janetta ended the call.
Sebastian kept his gaze locked on the entrance of the building.
He watched until Helena and Julian completely disappeared from view.
Yet Sebastian made no move to leave; his car remained parked exactly where it was.
Carter Miles and The Driver didn't dare utter a sound, sitting rigidly in their seats and keeping their eyes forward.
The silence inside the car was absolute.
Back in her apartment, Helena stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and spotted Sebastian's car.
She knew Sebastian hadn't left.
But Helena remained silent, simply staring down at it.
Julian shot a quick glance and instantly knew what Helena was looking at.
However, Julian chose to stay quiet.
He ordered some groceries online and casually caught up on a few work emails.
When the groceries arrived, he headed straight for the kitchen to prepare a meal.
