He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 669

Julian continued to soothe the child.

Helena knew he was far better equipped to handle this than she was.

If she stuck around, she'd only face an endless barrage of impossible questions.

Everyone knew she could never say no to the girl.

"I'm going to go wash up," she announced quietly.

"Okay," he replied, his tone genuinely composed.

Without lingering, she turned and slipped out of the room.

He watched her leave in silence.

Once they were alone, he focused entirely on coaxing the girl into slumber.

The little girl never dared to push boundaries too far with him.

Behaving like a perfect angel, she obediently squeezed her eyes shut.

He sat by her side like a loyal guardian.

He waited until the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest signaled deep sleep.

Tucking the duvet snugly around her, he finally stood and exited.

The second the door clicked shut, her large, bright eyes snapped open.

Blinking into the darkness, a heavy, dramatic sigh escaped her lips.

Suddenly, a short vibration buzzed from under her pillow.

She fished out her phone. It was a WhatsApp message from Kyle Hayes.

They had exchanged numbers back when they met at the hospital.

Tapping the notification, his message popped up.

Kyle: [I got a fever and had to go back to the hospital. I hate it here so much.]

Skye: [Then you need to be a good boy and get better. If you aren't sick, they won't make you stay.]

...

The two kids texted back and forth for a while.

She didn't dislike the boy at all; in fact, she thought he was pretty cool.

And Kyle's notoriously terrible temper miraculously vanished whenever he talked to her.

They actually got along swimmingly.

Kyle: [My daddy just told me he'd take me to Disneyland when I feel better. Do you want to come?]

Skye: [Yeah!]

After sending her reply, she waited, but no response came.

She didn't push it.

After all, she knew perfectly well that his dad was Sebastian.
