He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 896

Throughout the short walk, Xavier didn't lay a single finger on her.

His respectful distance kept Helena from feeling boxed in.

When they reached the car, he opened the passenger door and held the umbrella steady, ensuring she was safely inside before moving.

He didn't seem to care that the driving rain was soaking the shoulder of his tailored suit.

He was entirely focused on keeping her perfectly dry.

Helena noticed the quiet, deliberate courtesy.

She knew Xavier was a man raised with impeccable manners.

It was easy to see a person's true character in these small, unscripted moments.

It was no mystery why half the campus was infatuated with him.

But he simply wasn't someone she was considering.

It wasn't a reflection on him.

It was just that Helena was entirely burnt out on romance.

Even if a man offered her the world wrapped in a bow, she wouldn't take it.

Julian had tried for five years and still failed to tear down her walls.

Once they were both in the car, Xavier pulled smoothly into traffic, heading toward Brighton Gardens.

What Helena didn't notice was the black Land Rover idling silently by the curb, watching them drive away.

Through the heavy, relentless sheets of rain, Sebastian kept his eyes locked on the departing Audi.

His expression was dangerously unreadable.

After a long pause, he put the car in drive and seamlessly merged into traffic, tailing Xavier from a safe distance.

Before Sebastian had even relocated to the Capital, he already knew Helena had taken a job at Northgate University.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have conveniently appeared on this exact street.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that in less than a month, another man would already be circling her.

Sebastian's eyes darkened, a predatory chill settling over his gaze.

Over the past month, he had ruthlessly finalized everything in Riverton.

He had liquidated his local assets and systematically dismantled his public power base, lulling Cyrus into a false sense of absolute security.
