He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 994

Skye had spent the entire day trailing after the older relatives, wishing everyone a happy new year.

When she finally returned, her little pockets were absolutely stuffed with red envelopes.

"Helena! I'm rich!" she cheered, her eyes crinkling into joyful little crescents.

Helena couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. "If anyone saw you right now, they'd think the Campbells were starving you."

"Hehe, it's totally different! The red envelopes here in the Capital were totally different from the ones back in Coralia," Skye declared, practically vibrating with excitement.

"Fine, fine. Next time we're back in Coralia, I'll give you a massive one," Helena teased affectionately.

"Yay!" Skye cheered, acting like a tiny, adorable extortionist.

Sebastian had already retrieved the mountain of gifts he bought for Skye.

The little girl happily plopped down next to him, tearing into the wrapping paper with unbridled joy.

Sebastian sat beside her, endlessly patient.

Skye hit him with a barrage of relentless, rapid-fire questions.

Helena felt like she would have lost her mind after five minutes.

But Sebastian didn't show a single ounce of frustration.

No matter what wild question Skye threw at him, Sebastian answered smoothly and logically.

Which, naturally, only encouraged Skye to ask even more questions.

It was painfully obvious to anyone watching that Skye was completely obsessed with Sebastian.

Helena watched them for a moment, her face unreadable, before turning and heading toward her room.

On her way down the hall, she bumped into Ivy Everett.

Since it was the holidays, Ivy was staying at the main estate too.

"Helena," Ivy called out warmly.

"Mom," Helena replied softly.

Ivy smiled, gave a gentle nod, and closed the distance between them.

"Sebastian seems to have a really strong bond with Skye, doesn't he?" Ivy observed.

Helena hummed in agreement. "They get along incredibly well."

"Makes sense. It's rare for a father and daughter not to click," Ivy noted wisely.
