He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 590

His thumb stroked against her bottom lip in a painfully intimate gesture.

Stunned, she immediately stepped back and scrubbed her mouth with the back of her hand.

She knew for a fact there was no food there.

Yet, having touched her, he stepped back, a perfect picture of innocence.

He casually slid one hand into his pocket, completely unbothered.

Annoyance flared through her, but she bit her tongue to avoid a full-blown argument.

Suddenly, his phone shattered the tension, vibrating loudly in his pocket.

Janetta's name glared off the illuminated screen.

Helena caught a glimpse of it but maintained her bored expression.

He stared down at the device, making absolutely zero move to answer it.

"Your wife is calling. I'll leave you to it," she drawled, moving to step past him.

She just wanted to get out of this suffocating hallway.

But he smoothly shifted his weight, completely blocking her path.

Refusing to be pulled into a stupid tug-of-war, she just waited for him to move.

He ignored the ringing phone, his dark gaze locked on her face.

Her frown deepened.

Seeing an opening, she ducked past him and hurried toward the master bedroom.

He didn't try to trap her a second time.

The exact second she cleared his shoulder, her own phone began to ring.

It was Skye.

She picked it up immediately. "Hello?"

Her voice was dripping with absolute, unconditional love.

Sebastian watched her vanish into the master suite, her soft, glowing tone echoing behind her.

A heavy, dangerous storm brewed in his eyes.

His gut immediately screamed that Julian was on the other end of that call.

Yet he stood rooted to the spot, doing absolutely nothing to stop her.

Only after the bedroom door clicked shut did he finally accept the call buzzing in his hand.

He knew Janetta's erratic temper. If he ignored it, she would flood his phone with endless rings until he picked up.

He used to view her clinginess as endearing.
