He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 981

Helena shook her head with a helpless sigh.

Caught in the gravity of the moment, she suddenly grew quiet.

She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, and Lance followed her gaze.

The two exchanged a look, instantly silencing their conversation.

Because Julian Campbell had arrived.

Everyone in the Everett family knew Julian was spending the holidays here solely for Helena.

But Julian wouldn't actually sleep at the estate every single night.

He had been married to Helena for years, so naturally, he owned his own properties in the Capital.

Usually, Julian stayed at his own villa in the city, not at the Everett estate.

He had only come today because Helena had returned.

And now, Julian was standing face-to-face with Sebastian.

Helena tensed instantly, her heart skipping a beat in uncertainty.

She was terrified a fight was about to break out.

Helena stood frozen in the room, hesitating to go out immediately.

As Julian parked his car, he spotted Sebastian.

Sebastian stepped out of his vehicle with unhurried grace, slipping one hand into his pocket as the two men stared each other down.

From inside the house, Helena couldn't hear a word they were saying.

But every time Julian and Sebastian crossed paths, it filled her with dread.

It always felt like punches were seconds away from being thrown.

Helena wasn't the only one thinking it; Lance felt the exact same way.

"They're not going to throw down, are they?" Lance frowned.

Then, Helena watched as Sebastian took the initiative to step forward.

Knowing Julian as well as she did, she saw him stiffen the second Sebastian moved.

Sebastian seemed entirely unfazed, speaking up first.

Almost the instant Sebastian looked ready to talk things out, Helena was already rushing toward the door.

She was genuinely afraid things would spiral out of control.

Lance was worried too.

So Lance followed closely behind without a second thought.

The two slipped out through a side door, desperately trying not to alert the rest of the Everett family and make a scene.
