He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 806

"Take your time," Helena nodded.

The designer quickly stepped out.

Helena was left alone in the spacious fitting room.

Since it was an evening gown, she didn't require an army of staff to maneuver in it.

Furthermore, the boutique staff knew she preferred solitude and kept the room clear.

She studied her reflection in the full-length mirror.

Deep down, she was the same woman she had always been; only the face staring back at her had changed.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

It was a video call request from Skye.

Smiling, she answered it.

The screen immediately filled with the eager faces of Skye and Kyle.

The two kids had been arguing over something and, unable to reach a conclusion, decided to call her for the answer.

She listened patiently, coaxing them with gentle replies.

She was so engrossed that she didn't notice when Sebastian slipped into the room.

"Lena..." Skye trailed off, her eyes widening.

Because her back was turned, Helena hadn't sensed his approach.

But through the camera lens, Skye had a clear view of the man standing behind her.

Kyle saw him too, freezing in surprise.

Before Kyle could say a word, Skye abruptly scrambled to end the call.

"I have to go!" she blurted out.

Helena blinked in confusion as the screen went black.

The sudden hang-up caught her completely off guard.

A split second later, a firm, possessive grip clamped down on her waist.

Looking up into the mirror, she saw Sebastian pulling her flush against his chest.

They were pressed seamlessly together.

His broad, imposing frame completely enveloped her.

"What's taking so long?" he murmured.

The designer had left before zipping up the back of the dress.

It was a plunging backless design to begin with.
