He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 530

The short-term parking lot at the airport had a strict thirty-minute limit.

As the deadline approached, the driver finally broke the heavy silence, nervously glancing back at Sebastian.

"Mr. Hayes, our time limit is almost up," he prompted carefully. "If you'd like to wait longer, I can move the car to the long-term garage."

The words seemed to snap Sebastian out of his trance.

Following Helena all the way here was a momentary lapse in judgment—an absurd detour.

What did it matter who her husband was?

It had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Lowering his gaze, his tone turned cool and detached. "Let's head back."

"Right away, sir," the driver answered, eager to comply.

As the car slowly reversed out of the spot, a movement caught Sebastian's eye.

He saw Julian Campbell.

And walking right beside him was Helena.

Julian had her hand securely tucked into his, his eyes resting on her with undeniable tenderness.

For a split second, the scene overlapped with his memories, and he genuinely believed he was looking at the Helena from his past.

But when she turned her head, revealing her face clearly under the harsh lights, reality set back in.

This wasn't the woman he knew.

So, Julian Campbell's mysterious wife was Helena Wallace?

Sebastian's eyes darkened into a predatory gaze.

Without him even realizing it, his hands curled into tight fists.

The revelation was certainly unexpected.

But outwardly, he maintained his flawless composure.

Sebastian pivoted to his real objective. "What do you know about Julian Campbell's wife?"

The Sterling family was based in Coralia.

Naturally, they rubbed elbows with the Campbells constantly.

Although Beau and Julian weren't particularly close—partly due to Sebastian's past friction with the Campbells—gathering intel in their elite circles was child's play.

In all these years, Sebastian had never once asked Beau about Julian's personal life.

The fact that he was doing so now, while physically in Coralia, was highly irregular.

"Not much, honestly," Beau frowned, answering truthfully. "Everyone in Coralia knows Julian got married, but his wife is a complete ghost. He guards her identity obsessively. Whatever you can dig up is probably the exact same as what I know."

"She's never shown her face at a single high-society gala here. Julian doesn't hide the fact that he's married, and he keeps his nose totally clean when it comes to other women."

"Given the Campbell family's archaic rules, Julian had to be legally married to take over as the heir. At the time, we all assumed it was either an arranged marriage or a marriage of convenience just to secure the inheritance."

"But rumors say he's genuinely head over heels for her. Word is she runs her own business, completely independent of the Campbell fortune, though no one knows what industry she's actually in."
