He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 975

Inside the private room.

Xavier was already seated.

The moment he saw Helena walk in, he immediately stood up and hurried over to her.

She could see the raw desperation etched into his features.

She simply watched him, waiting for him to speak first.

It hadn't been that long since they last saw each other.

But he had clearly aged in that short span of time.

The confident, radiant aura he used to carry was completely gone.

He had lost a noticeable amount of weight.

Before, he had always been impeccably clean-shaven.

Now, a rough shadow of stubble covered his jaw.

He looked completely wrecked.

She didn't offer any commentary on his appearance.

"Professor Zane," she greeted politely.

Xavier had already closed the distance between them. "Helena, I need to ask you for a favor. Please, for the sake of the relationship we once had, and the good terms we left things on."

"Go ahead," she said, her voice perfectly even.

"You know the situation with Jocelyn and me," he started, skipping the pleasantries.

She gave a slight nod.

"She hit you with her car. It was her fault. I know that. I'm not trying to make excuses for her."

"But the truth is, I'm the one who bears the most responsibility for this. Because of our complicated dynamic, I couldn't acknowledge her publicly. It completely shattered her emotional stability."

"When you and I were preparing to get married, she suffered a complete breakdown. I spent so much time trying to calm her down, trying to make her see reason and understand the stakes. I thought she had finally accepted it."

He poured out the agonizing details of the past.

These were things Helena had known nothing about.

But honestly, she could sympathize with Jocelyn.
