He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 973

Sebastian glanced at it, then completely ignored her question. "When did you and Julian get divorced?"

"It had nothing to do with you," she snapped, instantly shutting down that line of thought.

But she didn't offer any further explanation about her situation with Julian.

Sebastian simply stared down at her.

She didn't back down. "I asked you a question!"

"No. Julian would never reach out to me voluntarily, let alone collaborate on a PR strategy. We just happened to do the exact same thing at the exact same time because we both thought it was the right move," he explained calmly.

Because it involved her.

They had both acted simultaneously.

Neither of them wanted to see her dragged through the mud.

She didn't respond.

"You still haven't answered me. When did you two divorce?" he pressed.

"Before I came back to The Capital," she admitted truthfully.

He hummed in response, surprisingly dropping the interrogation.

"Get dressed, breakfast is almost ready," he said, smoothly shifting gears. "Weren't you planning on getting gifts for the Everett family for the holidays? I'll go with you."

She stared at him, bewildered.

"What does me buying gifts for my family have anything to do with you?" she demanded, her brow furrowing.

He didn't miss a beat. "I'm your boyfriend right now. So it has everything to do with me."

Helena was speechless.

They both knew exactly what this "boyfriend" title really meant.

It was just a convenient excuse.

Yet he paraded it around like it was the absolute truth.

It made her feel like the petty one for trying to hide it.

The realization made her let out a bitter laugh.

"Fine. Let's hear it. Do you even know what my mother or my grandfather would want?" she challenged, trying to back him into a corner.

To her shock, he simply said, "Yes."

Now she was genuinely suspicious.

If they weren't currently playing this twisted game, would he have prepped all of this anyway?

She fell silent.

She knew perfectly well that if she kept pushing the issue.
