Helena's unease in his presence extended beyond the initial discomfort....
Helena was reluctant to interact with him and would frequently cover her belly with a protective gesture, suggesting that she was more uncomfortable with their unborn child being around him.
At first, he didn't give it much importance and thought that it could be due to feelings of anger or a wish to get back at him. This was particularly the case when Victor deliberately kept his distance from her in the past.
Despite his initial confusion, he decided to adopt a hands-off approach, opting to allow Helena the space she seemed to be seeking, respecting the subtle signals of avoidance.
Even though he granted Helena the freedom to do what she wanted, his watchful eyes tracked her every move, cautious that she might take steps leading to further complications in their situation.
