He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 697

He glanced down at his screen, deep in thought.

Then, he smoothly typed out a reply.

Sebastian: [Ignore it, but control the narrative.]

Carter was slightly taken aback but didn't question it.

Carter: [Understood.]

Sebastian said nothing more, effortlessly keeping pace with Helena.

She had already walked up to the rides.

Kyle had just hopped off one of the carts and immediately grabbed her hand. "Auntie, can I ride one more time, please?"

Hope pouted immediately. "Helena, I don't want to play anymore."

There was bound to be friction between two kids.

They got along great most of the time, but when they clashed, it was a real argument.

As they walked out, they saw him returning with Hope.

Hope had even brought snacks back for Kyle.

The two kids were thrilled again, munching away as they walked.

She followed closely behind them.
