Chapter 137
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 137<\/p>\n
Stella had heard him perfectly fine; she just couldn’t believe it.<\/p>\n
As she asked, she could practically feel her heart pounding erratically against her ribs.<\/p>\n
Why on earth would Jarrod bring up having a baby right now?<\/p>\n
Noticing the shock and panic scrawled across her face, Jarrod said, “When we went to pick up Jasper the other day, the security guard mentioned children. You went quiet for a long time, so I assumed you wanted a baby.”<\/p>\n
She hadn’t realized Jarrod was paying that close attention to her reactions back then.<\/p>\n
Stella forced a small, tight smile. “You misunderstood. I never thought about that. I want a child to be born from love, into a family built on genuine affection.”<\/p>\n
Upon hearing that, Jarrod’s eyes cooled, as if a sudden thought had doused the warmth. He released her wrist. “I was just asking. It didn’t mean anything.”<\/p>\n
With that, he picked up the juice and took two sips.<\/p>\n
Stella could sense his immediate displeasure, though she had no idea where it came from, nor the energy to guess.<\/p>\n
Recalling Summer’s advice from a few days ago, Stella bit her lip. She finally decided to ask the question that had been eating at her.<\/p>\n
“Are the rumors about Director Huxley true?”<\/p>\n
Stella continued, “She’s been on sick leave for days, and people at the office are saying… she’s pregnant.”<\/p>\n
The hand holding the glass twitched imperceptibly. He looked up at her, his dark eyes entirely unreadable. “What are you trying to say?”<\/p>\n
Stella paused, then asked bluntly, “Is the baby yours?”<\/p>\n
Jarrod casually set the glass down. Instead of answering, he fired back, “What do you think?”<\/p>\n
Stella pressed her lips together and simply laid all her cards on the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3425","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3425","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=3425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
