Chapter 61
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 61<\/p>\n
Stella Quinn stared blankly up through her tears. A stylishly dressed man stood before her in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n
He wasn’t holding an umbrella, just wearing a casual hoodie, and his face bore a suppressed, almost apologetic smile.<\/p>\n
Seeing Stella looking at him, he offered a gentle explanation.<\/p>\n
“I don’t mean to laugh, I promise. But animals are naturally territorial about their food. You can’t blame the kitten for hissing at you when you try to touch it while it’s eating.”<\/p>\n
He couldn’t help but chuckle softly at the end.<\/p>\n
The little stray cat had already bolted the moment the man approached, leaving only a scattering of cracker crumbs on the wet pavement.<\/p>\n
Stella hadn’t expected anyone to witness her moment of foolishness.<\/p>\n
She wiped her tears in embarrassment. “I wasn’t crying because…”<\/p>\n
Never mind. Why bother explaining herself to a stranger?<\/p>\n
Spotting an empty cab idling by the curb just ahead, she ignored him. Hugging her laptop bag to her chest, she dashed through the rain toward the car.<\/p>\n
By the time Sebastian Huxley arrived at the private dining room, a pleasant smile still lingered on his lips.<\/p>\n
“What are you grinning about all by yourself, Seb?” Julian Jenson asked suspiciously.<\/p>\n
Jarrod Fuller cast a brief glance his way.<\/p>\n
Sebastian pulled out a chair and sat down, savoring the memory. “I just saw a beautiful woman on the street get bullied to tears by a tiny stray kitten.”<\/p>\n
Julian looked intrigued. “What kind of beauty could catch the eye of a top-tier fashion designer who literally swims in gorgeous women all day? Did you get her number? Why didn’t you bring her up for dinner?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3349","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3349","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=3349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
