He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 940

And the prerequisite for securing those shares was marriage.

Xavier had no choice.

Helena was undeniably the best candidate.

But now that she was initiating a breakup, it threw him into an incredibly precarious position.

"Helena, what if I don't agree to break up?" he asked suddenly.

This time, it was Helena who was surprised.

"And your reason?" she asked quietly.

Xavier remained silent for a moment, not speaking immediately.

Many things were indeed hard to admit out loud.

"Fine, let's say we don't break up. Have you thought about how you'll handle the aftermath?" Helena asked unhurriedly. "It's simple. Even if I know about Jocelyn and silently accept it, do you think the Everett family would ever agree to this? Do you think Jocelyn's life would be easy? I don't know your reasons for refusing to let go, but the world doesn't just bend to your will."

She lowered her gaze and paused for a second. "Xavier, I know better than anyone what it feels like to be caught in the middle. I refuse to live that kind of life anymore."

Her voice grew even more tranquil.

"And I won't deny that my reason for being with you was genuinely just to move past the mess of my previous relationship."

"If you think I can save you from your current mess, you're overestimating me. It's impossible."

She calmly finished expressing her thoughts.

Xavier said nothing more.

He stood rooted to the spot, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

Helena simply gave a brief nod before turning around and leaving quietly.

Stepping out of his office, she let out a sigh of relief.

Yet, the unsettling premonition weighing on her chest only grew stronger.

She kept quiet.

Soon, she left the campus.

On her way back, Skye Campbell called her again.

Helena answered.

Skye's adorable face popped up on the screen. "Lena, I'm already on break! Are you not on break yet?"

"A few more days," she replied.
