He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 621

But beneath the covers, Helena's hand secretly clenched the bedsheets in a tense grip.

"I won't stop you from doing what you need to do," Julian stated with absolute clarity. "But I also don't know when I might lose control of myself. So, don't provoke me lightly."

He delivered the warning with chilling calm.

And beneath that calm, she could feel the crushing weight of his suppressed emotions.

"At the very least, you are still Mrs. Campbell," Julian finished smoothly.

She didn't know how to respond to that.

Trapped in the silence, she simply agreed, "Okay."

Julian hummed a response but said nothing more.

Yet, he didn't immediately hang up the phone either.

Taking a deep breath, she was just about to end the call when she noticed Sebastian stalking toward her.

Her nerves instantly pulled taut.

She instinctively clutched her phone tighter.

But Sebastian merely leaned in close, making no move to snatch the device away.

It was as if he couldn't care less who she was talking to.

He braced his hand on the edge of the headboard.

His lips drifted dangerously close, practically brushing against her ear.

When he spoke, his voice was a low, seductive murmur. "If you haven't showered yet, let's eat first. I'll keep you company later."

Then, he let out a dark, amused chuckle, drawing out every syllable.

His lips grazed her earlobe as if he were taking a bite.

"We'll wash together," he added, the final words dripping with undeniable intimacy.

He had purposely spoken loud enough for the microphone to catch it, sending the message straight to Julian.

Julian didn't react.

Instead, it was Helena who abruptly severed the call.

She looked up at him, her expression composed. "You did that on purpose?"

"Did what on purpose?" he shot back, feigning innocence.

"You knew that was Julian on the phone, so you deliberately put on a show to provoke him, didn't you?" she challenged directly.

"Alright," she agreed, knowing exactly when to pull back.

He effortlessly laced his fingers through hers and led her downstairs.

She didn't resist.

As they reached the living room, they happened to see Julian's car pulling away in the distance.

Her heart rate spiked, though she maintained a flawless mask of indifference.

Following her gaze, Sebastian's eyes tracked the departing vehicle.

His expression was entirely dismissive, as if Julian wasn't even a blip on his radar.

It clicked for her instantly. "You knew he was out there?"

"Didn't you?" he countered smoothly, tossing the question back at her without missing a beat.

She genuinely hadn't known.

Cornered by the revelation, she simply stared back at him with a composed gaze.

"So you really were doing all of that on purpose upstairs?" she asked bluntly.

He didn't bother denying it. "Wasn't he the one who provoked me first? I'm simply returning the favor."
