He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 562

The underlying threat was clear.

Janetta wasn't stupid.

A surge of fear hit her.

Under these circumstances, she played the victim once more.

"I'm sorry..." she apologized, lowering her head.

Her slender fingers gripped his sleeve. "I just love you so much, which is why I'm so tense. I'm terrified you'll leave me. I've been so anxious all these years. I know I shouldn't act like this. I'm sorry..."

Her voice dropped to a pitiful whisper.

Her previous aggression vanished without a trace.

"Please, for Kyle's sake, don't be mad at me, okay?" She brought up their son as a shield.

She knew he still cared about Kyle.

To be precise, the entire Hayes family adored Kyle.

Unsurprisingly, the mention of the boy immediately softened Sebastian's expression.

He looked down at her.

Janetta maintained her fragile, pitiful gaze. "Sebastian..."

"What time is your audition tomorrow?" he suddenly asked.

The question caught her off guard.

She froze, then her eyes lit up with wild surprise. "Are you willing to come with me?"

He didn't answer.

Not daring to push her luck, she quickly replied, "It's at 2:00 PM."

He hummed softly in acknowledgment.

She cautiously tested the waters. "Are you coming with me?"

"I need to head back to Riverton, but I'll make a call. Whether you get it or not still depends on you," he said smoothly.

Joy danced in her eyes.

This was the first time in years he had offered to help her like this.

She felt absolutely confident she had the role in the bag.

But to be safe, she made sure to clarify her request.

"I want the lead role in Destiny's Choice, Victoria Vance," she said carefully.

He didn't reply.

He likely knew she had slept poorly.

So, early in the morning, he had taken Skye downstairs for breakfast.

They played on the hotel's private beach before the sun got too hot.

Knowing her mother needed rest, Skye made sure not to make a sound.

On her way out, she pressed a finger to her lips, making a shushing motion at Julian, which completely cracked him up.

He took her hand and led her straight to the restaurant.

When Helena woke up to an empty room, she guessed as much.

Instead of calling him, she walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and spotted Julian down on the beach, helping Skye build sandcastles.

The little girl could happily spend hours in the sand.

A soft, relaxed smile touched Helena's lips.

Almost as if sensing she was awake, Julian's call came through instantly.

She answered it with a glance at the screen.

In that split second, she saw him look up toward their suite.
