He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 996

Since they had to wake up early to burn the first incense, they didn't actually have much time to sleep.

Helena didn't push herself; she headed straight for her bedroom.

Once inside, she immediately noticed a red envelope resting on her nightstand.

She froze.

According to Everett tradition, married daughters never received red envelopes.

Yet here one was.

After a moment of hesitation, she opened the red envelope to find a blank check inside.

She understood instantly—this was from Sebastian.

A moment later, she heard Sebastian stepping out of the bathroom.

"The bath is drawn. Don't soak for more than twenty minutes. I'll come get you when time is up, okay?" Sebastian said, treating her with effortless domesticity.

Helena gave a soft hum of acknowledgment.

She held up the envelope and looked at him. "What is this for?"

"It's a red envelope. For good luck," Sebastian smiled warmly.

"Aren't you worried I'll write down every last cent to your name?" Helena asked, her tone flat.

"Not in the slightest," Sebastian laughed.

He was indulging her every whim.

Practically begging her to rob him blind.

Helena stared at him, entirely unamused. "Sebastian, I don't want to owe you anything."

That included money and material things.

With that, she tossed the envelope back onto the nightstand. "Take it back."

Sebastian looked down at the discarded check.

But he didn't look angry.

He simply walked over to her. "If you don't want that one, we'll swap it out."

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a completely different envelope.

This one was stuffed with crisp cash.

"It's the New Year, you have to accept something for good luck," Sebastian smiled. "I originally prepared this one for Skye, but it's perfect for you."

Sebastian looked at her with an intensity that was impossible to ignore.

It was a gaze so heavy with devotion that Helena couldn't find it in herself to refuse again.
