Chapter 26
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 26<\/p>\n
Stella lowered her gaze. “Whether you believe me or not, it was just an accident.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod didn’t confirm or deny her statement. Instead, he asked casually, “You don’t get along with your father’s friend’s son?”<\/p>\n
At the mention of Logan, Stella’s fingers curled into tight fists.<\/p>\n
She forced down the bitter lump forming in her throat before answering quietly, “He doesn’t remember me. How could we get along?”<\/p>\n
After she spoke, she could feel Jarrod’s heavy gaze linger on her.<\/p>\n
She remained perfectly still.<\/p>\n
After a long beat of silence, Jarrod coolly instructed the driver, “Head to the plaza.”<\/p>\n
That was the location for the launch event.<\/p>\n
Was he having the driver drop her off?<\/p>\n
“Thank you,” Stella murmured, keeping her eyes down.<\/p>\n
Jarrod didn’t say another word to her.<\/p>\n
The interior of the car fell completely silent.<\/p>\n
Stella waited a few moments before cautiously lifting her eyes to look at him.<\/p>\n
He was leaning back against the leather seat with his eyes closed, his jawline tense and sharp, his profile striking in the dim light.<\/p>\n
Stella finally let out a breath and relaxed slightly, leaning her head against the cool window pane to watch the city lights blur by.<\/p>\n
The temperature in the car was perfectly comfortable, lulling her into a hazy state.<\/p>\n
They were still quite a ways from the plaza, so she decided to shut her eyes for just a minute.<\/p>\n
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, she felt a heavy weight settling across her waist. She blinked her eyes open, feeling completely disoriented.<\/p>\n
She was lying on the massive bed in the master bedroom, and Jarrod was asleep right beside her, his arm draped possessively over her waist!<\/p>\n
Unless he specifically demanded her for his physical needs, Jarrod never spent the night in the master bedroom.<\/p>\n
Panicked, Stella shot upright in bed!<\/p>\n
The sudden movement woke Jarrod. He slowly opened his dark eyes, a flash of annoyance in them. “What are you panicking about?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3314","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
