He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 759

Helena knew Skye perfectly.

The little girl wouldn't budge.

Especially not after a scene like that.

But giving in meant crushing her own boundaries just to keep Skye from being disappointed.

Ultimately, her love for the child overpowered her revulsion for the man.

Taking a deep breath, Helena forced a tight smile. "I'll go with you. But as soon as we're done, we head straight home, alright?"

Skye blinked, almost not daring to believe her ears.

Seeing Helena's nod, she quickly agreed, keeping her mouth shut so she wouldn't ruin the fragile peace.

She kept a vice-like grip on Helena's hand, refusing to let go.

Sebastian didn't gloat, nor did he push his luck.

"Let's head out, then. The restaurant is right around the corner," he said smoothly.

Helena ignored him.

The restaurant was indeed close by.

Tucked away in an ultra-discreet location near the apartment, it looked completely unassuming from the outside.

Helena recognized the area immediately.

This district was ground zero for Coralia's most exclusive private dining clubs and Michelin-starred establishments.

Naturally, it was also crawling with The Press.

Realizing this, Helena frowned, her body instinctively tensing up.

Sebastian noticed her apprehension instantly. "Relax. We're taking the underground entrance. There's a private elevator; no reporters can get anywhere near it."

Helena remained silent.

Sebastian smoothly guided his luxury SUV into the subterranean garage.

The parking level was dead quiet.

When Skye hopped out of the car, she immediately latched back onto Helena's hand.

Even though she normally loved making Sebastian carry her, she completely ignored him now.

Sebastian didn't seem to mind.

The three of them walked silently toward the VIP elevator.

Even though they weren't touching, the optics of them standing together like a cozy family unit were disastrous.

It was agonizingly awkward for Helena.

The crushing weight of the situation stole her breath.

But Sebastian stepped in, completely unfazed. "Ms. Wallace is in Coralia finalizing the IGM partnership. It's only right that I host her for dinner."

It was a flawless excuse.

The Hayes Corporation was IGM's largest partner.

Mr. Byron nodded, his curiosity masked by a polite chuckle.

With his secretary quietly urging him along, he quickly excused himself.

Still, as he walked away, he couldn't resist throwing a lingering glance over his shoulder.

Helena kept her spine rigid, projecting an aura of total indifference.

Sebastian didn't dwell on the encounter, confidently guiding them into their private room.

The suite was spectacular, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a large six-seater table that made the space feel incredibly vast for just three people.
