He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 676

"After dropping Kyle off, I had the doctor come check on him. Then there was an emergency with the production crew. You know how it is, filming starts soon, so I had to rush over," Janetta explained smoothly. "Now that it's sorted, I hurried straight back."

Sebastian didn't say a word; he just stared at her coldly.

Guilt gnawed at Janetta, and she didn't dare meet his eyes.

Eager to put on a show of concern, she quickly added, "How is Kyle doing? I need to go see him."

With that, she turned toward Kyle's room.

But the moment she pivoted, Sebastian grabbed her wrist.

"He's asleep. Don't go in," his flat voice rang out.

"Okay," Janetta agreed instantly.

In reality, she had absolutely zero intention of going inside anyway.

Kyle meant nothing to her; he was merely a tool.

She felt no maternal affection for him whatsoever.

Furthermore, as Kyle grew older, she wasn't sure if she was just paranoid,

but every time she looked into his eyes, she saw Helena staring back at her.

Because of this, her disgust for the boy had only deepened.

She was already the official Mrs. Hayes.

Whether Kyle lived or died was completely irrelevant to her now.

Pushing those dark thoughts aside, Janetta seized the moment and pressed her body against Sebastian's.

"Sebastian, I'm so sorry. I've been incredibly busy lately. That's why I've been neglecting Kyle," she cooed sweetly.

She knew full well how much Sebastian treasured his son.

So, she expertly used Kyle as her opening gambit.

Feigning devotion, she promised, "Once he's fully recovered, let's take him to Disneyland together, okay?"

Sebastian looked down at her, his gaze unreadable.

"Just to take him to Disneyland?" he asked coolly.

Janetta faltered slightly but quickly recovered. "Yes, of course. Just to take him to Disneyland. What else would we do?"

Janetta couldn't read him at all.

To say she wasn't terrified would be a lie.

"Sebastian..." she whined, pitching her voice into a pitiful, coaxing tone. "Wait until my schedule clears up, okay?"

With that, she stood on her tiptoes, aiming for his lips.

Sebastian simply turned his head, and her kiss landed awkwardly on his cheek.

The rejection left her burning with humiliation.

Yet she refused to give up, continuing to throw herself at him.

It felt just like the old days when she would seduce him, and he would always easily surrender.

But she had forgotten one crucial detail.

Back then, Sebastian had been acting out of deep guilt toward her.

The Sebastian of today felt absolutely no guilt.

In fact, watching her desperate attempts to seduce him only made him think of Helena.
