He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 948

Ivy was completely derailed by the greeting, staring helplessly at her niece.

Helena didn't even blink. "He climbed in through the balcony, which is why the guards didn't see him. If he wants to play chef, let him. You don't need to worry about it, Aunt Ivy."

Ivy didn't know whether to feel relieved or utterly terrified by that explanation.

But she could instantly sense the bizarre shift in their dynamic.

The undeniable, twisted tension simmering between the two of them.

Ultimately, she just offered a weak nod. "Right."

Sebastian smoothly placed the steaming bowl of Dumpling Soup on the table in front of Helena.

His tone was sickeningly gentle, almost coaxing. "Eat up. It's hot, so be careful."

She ignored him and began to eat.

Compared to the bland Capital cuisine, she truly preferred the bold flavors of Riverton.

Ivy stood off to the side, watching the entire bizarre interaction unfold.

She didn't intervene or try to kick him out.

He just stood there, completely unfazed by the older woman's scrutinizing stare.

Only when Helena finished every last bite did he step forward to clear the dishes.

"I'll be back tonight," he told her calmly.

She didn't offer a single word of confirmation.

Leaving it entirely ambiguous as to whether she was allowing it.

Not seeming to care either way, he quietly packed his things and slipped out the door.

The second he stepped out of the VIP suite, he ran straight into Alistair and Lance.

Ever since the crash, the entire Everett clan had been showing up en masse every single day.

So when they saw the billionaire strolling casually out of the forbidden room, both men froze in utter shock.

Sebastian simply offered them a curt, polite nod as he walked past.

"I told you, you're not welcome here," Lance growled, stepping into his path.

Sebastian just looked at him with a predatory smirk. "She didn't kick me out, did she?"

Lance: "..."

Was he seriously trying to imply this was Helena's fault?
