Chapter 110
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 110<\/p>\n
They hit a red light. Jarrod stepped on the brake, turning his head slightly to look at Stella, a low scoff escaping his lips. “In your eyes, am I really so cold-blooded that I wouldn’t even show respect to an elderly woman?”<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head, her tone earnest. “I’ve never thought that. I know you’re a decent man with good manners. My grandmother was so happy that day, and I am genuinely grateful to you.”<\/p>\n
Looking into her clear almond eyes, Jarrod saw only total sincerity. He didn’t push it.<\/p>\n
The light turned green. Jarrod kept his hands casually on the wheel, eyes on the road, and asked in a seemingly offhand tone.<\/p>\n
“Do you throw out apologies and thank-yous to that Logan guy you grew up with, too?”<\/p>\n
Stella blinked, startled.<\/p>\n
She hadn’t expected Jarrod to randomly bring up Logan.<\/p>\n
It was completely different from that night at the club when she had gone to pick up a drunk Logan, and Jarrod had gripped her wrist with blistering sarcasm and cold fury. Right now, Jarrod seemed entirely indifferent, as if he were just making idle conversation.<\/p>\n
But Stella couldn’t quite decipher the meaning behind his words.<\/p>\n
After all, the last time she pissed Jarrod off at the club, the Quinn family suffered a major blow the very next day. News of Jarrod publicly taking Chloe out of the country resulted in a vicious slap from George.<\/p>\n
Then came the divorce papers, and the Quinn business was forced to terminate their partnership with the Fullers.<\/p>\n
If she misspoke again today, would that be the final nail in the coffin for her and the Quinn family?<\/p>\n
“Is it that hard to answer?” Jarrod cast a calm, unbothered glance her way.<\/p>\n
“No.”<\/p>\n
Stella weighed her words carefully before answering his previous question. “I wouldn’t. But just like you and Julian, Logan and I have known each other since we were kids. There are a lot of things where we wouldn’t bother apologizing or thanking each other, and neither of us would think twice about it.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod easily caught the underlying meaning in her words and noticed how carefully she had chosen them.<\/p>\n
She had even used him and Julian as an analogy, deliberately downplaying her childhood bond with Logan.<\/p>\n
Jarrod couldn’t quite pinpoint why he had even brought Logan up in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3398","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3398","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=3398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
