Chapter 46
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 46<\/p>\n
Jarrod didn’t say a word, nor did he hang up.<\/p>\n
Taking the silence as permission, Arthur added, “Boss, Mr. Quinn has been asking around lately to secure a prime retail spot in the mall for his youngest daughter. He hasn’t explicitly mentioned that he’s your father-in-law, but people know about the connection and have been asking me how you want to handle it.”<\/p>\n
“Tonight, bringing his youngest daughter along… he probably wanted your wife to put in a good word with you. So, do you want me to give the mall management a heads-up?”<\/p>\n
“Are you that bored?” Jarrod asked.<\/p>\n
Arthur, “…” He really shouldn’t have opened his mouth.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Stella sat in the back of the cab, her eyes still rimmed with red.<\/p>\n
She never expected to run into George and Seraphina in the hotel lobby.<\/p>\n
They must have just come down from one of the restaurants upstairs.<\/p>\n
Seraphina had been dutifully massaging George’s arm, thanking him for helping her secure a client and whining for more funding to build her brand’s reputation.<\/p>\n
George had looked at her with a mix of helplessness and overwhelming affection. “Alright, alright. Whatever you want to do, Daddy will always support you!”<\/p>\n
“Thank you, Dad! You’re the best dad in the whole world!” Seraphina had cheered, pouring on the flattery.<\/p>\n
George ate it up, his face breaking into a massive grin.<\/p>\n
And right at that moment, George had spotted Stella standing a short distance away.<\/p>\n
His smile had vanished instantly. He immediately demanded to know what was going on, accusing her of ignoring his calls and asking if she was here making a fool of herself over Logan again.<\/p>\n
Stella couldn’t hold back. She fired back that if she ever did something humiliating, she would never admit to being his daughter, just to save his precious reputation.<\/p>\n
That hit a nerve. Furious, George accused her of being ungrateful and unfilial, claiming she didn’t understand his sacrifices.<\/p>\n
Seraphina immediately played the peacemaker, rubbing George’s chest to calm him down while throwing Stella a disapproving glare, telling her to stop upsetting their father.<\/p>\n
Stella didn’t have the stomach for their touching family display. She had simply turned on her heel and stormed out of the lobby.<\/p>\n
The neon lights blurred past the car window as Stella closed her eyes.<\/p>\n
There was a time when George would lift her high in the air, looking at her with total adoration, telling her, “Stella is Daddy’s favorite little princess.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3334","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3334","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=3334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
