Chapter 123
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 123<\/p>\n
Arthur Sr. had indeed called them in to interrogate them about the divorce.<\/p>\n
Stella knew how notoriously strict Grandpa was with Jarrod. If Jarrod spoke first, he would undoubtedly face the brunt of the old man’s wrath.<\/p>\n
Remembering how accustomed Jarrod looked to his grandfather’s harsh reprimands in the living room previously, Stella quickly interjected before he could speak.<\/p>\n
“Grandpa, I was the one who brought up the divorce.”<\/p>\n
It wasn’t exactly a lie. She had initiated the conversation, and Jarrod had simply instructed the lawyers to draft the agreement.<\/p>\n
Arthur Sr. shot Jarrod a glare before turning back to Stella, clearly unconvinced.<\/p>\n
“You brought it up? Stella, why on earth would you ask for a divorce?”<\/p>\n
Stella completely understood his skepticism.<\/p>\n
The Quinn family relied heavily on the Fullers. They usually tripped over themselves to stay in his good graces, so why would they willingly sever ties?<\/p>\n
Stella kept her voice as steady as possible. “Grandpa, I caused some trouble for Jarrod. Besides, the contract we signed before the wedding is nearing its end. I just figured ending things a little early made the most sense.”<\/p>\n
“Nonsense!” Arthur Sr. boomed authoritatively. “What kind of trouble requires a divorce to fix? And that contract is just a meaningless piece of paper!”<\/p>\n
“But…”<\/p>\n
“Are you mute?!”<\/p>\n
Refusing to let Stella say another word, Arthur Sr. directed his furious glare back at Jarrod. “Whose idea was this divorce?!”<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s expression remained perfectly stoic. “I had the lawyers draw up the papers.”<\/p>\n
“You ungrateful bastard!”<\/p>\n
In a fit of rage, Arthur Sr. grabbed his hot teacup and slammed it down on the tray, sending scalding liquid flying!<\/p>\n
Though he hadn’t moved a muscle until that second, Jarrod reacted with lightning speed, shielding Stella with his arm to ensure she didn’t get burned!<\/p>\n
The protective gesture stunned Stella, and she turned to stare at him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3411","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3411","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=3411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
