He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 631

Realizing this, Helena finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very least, he hadn't stormed off furiously because of her and Sebastian.

But Helena knew Julian couldn't possibly be unaffected by what had happened.

It was just that—

She rubbed her temples, a headache forming.

"Helena..." Claire suddenly called out.

"I'm here," Helena replied.

"Are you with Sebastian?" After a brief pause, Claire asked bluntly.

Helena gave a soft murmur of agreement.

It wasn't exactly a secret.

The media had blown the whole thing wide open, even if they hadn't laid out the explicit details.

And a woman as sharp as Claire would easily read between the lines.

Hearing the confirmation, Claire fell silent.

Several times, words formed on the tip of her tongue, only for her to swallow them back down.

Claire had wanted to bring up Helena and Julian, to tell her to give up on her current reckless path and build a good life with Julian.

She was terrified that things would spiral out of control.

But Claire also knew the sheer hell Helena had walked through to get to this point.

If it had been her, she wouldn't have been able to walk away either.

So, she couldn't find a single valid reason to tell Helena to stop.

Ultimately, all that came out was a quiet sigh. "Never mind. Just keep yourself safe, and call me the second you need anything."

"I will," Helena promised.

"Go get Skye first. Text me when you have her. I'll handle Julian," Claire finished softly.

"Okay," Helena nodded.

With that, Claire ended the call.

Helena said nothing more, staring silently at her darkened screen.

She knew exactly what Claire had been trying to say.

She gripped her phone tightly, her thumb brushing absentmindedly over the smooth case.

"Of course I do. Skye is adorable. Who wouldn't love her?" Helena replied smoothly.

"If you love kids so much, why not have one of your own? There's no way Julian doesn't need an heir." Sebastian's tone carried a hint of probing calculation.

This time, Helena turned her head and leveled him with a deadpan stare.

Sebastian continued to drive, looking entirely unbothered.

"Mr. Hayes, you just said it yourself. My relationship with Julian is built on mutual interests. Why would he be stupid enough to let me have his child and tie us together for the rest of our lives?" Helena countered without missing a beat.

Sebastian effortlessly caught the underlying implication. "So you two are eventually going to divorce?"

Helena was speechless.

Well, she had never realized just how relentless Sebastian could be when it came to prying into her personal life.

Thankfully, the car pulled up in front of the police station.

Helena firmly shut the conversation down.

She got out quickly and headed straight inside.

Sebastian parked the car before leisurely strolling in after her.

The two of them kept a low profile, avoiding any unnecessary attention.
