He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 909

He sat quietly in the car, watching her until she completely disappeared from view.

Just then, Carter Miles called. "Mr. Hayes, the house is fully prepped. You can move in whenever you're ready."

He hummed softly, not offering any other response.

Then he hung up.

And drove away.

As soon as she walked into the faculty office, she spotted Xavier walking toward her.

"Hi," he greeted her with a warm smile.

After they saw the play, he had flown to Europe for an academic conference on Monday and had only just returned yesterday.

Factoring it all in, they hadn't seen each other in a whole week.

With the time zone difference, he hadn't bombarded her with texts either.

It created a comfortable distance, preventing her from feeling suffocated or annoyed.

Because of this, she actually had a fairly positive impression of him.

Combined with the incredibly toxic dynamic she was currently trapped in with Sebastian.

She was starting to genuinely consider her friend's advice.

Perhaps throwing herself into a new relationship was the only way to stop her mind from constantly spiraling.

"Helena, I picked up this Venetian Mask for you while I was in Italy," he said, handing over a beautifully wrapped gift. "And some Venchi Chocolates. Everyone seemed to be buying them, so I grabbed some too. I hope you like them."

She glanced down at the items; it was obvious he had put thought into this.

Even the packaging was elegant and charming.

He was a very clever man.

He knew better than to make the same mistake twice.

He had undoubtedly consulted Sophia to figure out exactly what she liked.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched by the gesture.

Especially when she was feeling so drained and empty.

And desperate to cut all ties with her ex-husband.

Having a gentle, considerate man suddenly step into the picture.

It made her seriously contemplate the idea of moving on.

She probably did need someone else to finally severe the invisible chain linking her to Sebastian.
