He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 534

She could feel the erratic shift in his energy.

He transitioned from rigid tension to an almost reckless, unbridled passion.

Helena didn't speak, her body slowly relaxing into his.

It was her silent way of soothing his frayed nerves.

Eventually, her quiet acceptance brought him back down to earth.

"I'm sorry," Julian rasped, pulling back slightly.

Helena didn't pull away, just let him keep his arms around her.

"It's okay," she murmured. "We're married, aren't we?"

She looked up at him, her gaze clear of any rejection.

Julian looked down, a heavy silence settling over him.

After a long moment, he was the one who finally let go.

"I'll finish cleaning up. Go get some rest," he said quietly.

"Okay," Helena nodded.

They definitely needed a moment apart to decompress.

She paused briefly before turning and walking toward her home office.

Julian didn't try to stop her.

Opening her laptop, Helena immediately saw an email from her secretary.

The Hayes Corporation had approved the revised contract.

All the specific terms she had negotiated with Sebastian had been finalized.

She reviewed the document meticulously, ensuring there were no hidden traps.

Just as she finished, a notification popped up on WhatsApp.

Glancing at her phone, she saw a new contact request.

She had changed her number years ago; this account was strictly for business.

Outside of office hours, she rarely even opened the app.

She stared at the friend request.

She recognized the user instantly—it was Sebastian.

He hadn't changed his profile picture in five years.

It was just a simple, single letter.

The timestamp showed he had sent it right after they parted ways earlier that evening.

Helena didn't hesitate. She accepted it.
